maynard Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I was thinking about it... ChinDem has not its "anything goes", "used to love her" or "get in the ring", the closest to "fun" Axl sounds is on Scraped, but the majority of the songs is about broken hearts, bitterness and sadness.Don't get me wrong, I'm not much of a fan of 3:00 sing-along rock n' roll tunes but I was wondering if Axl had any fun working on Chinese. I can't see Axl and the crew drinking beers after a completed track, you know?I believe your job is only good when you like what you do and the recording proccess of CD looked painful and tense and I believe Axl didn't really have fun working on it.What do you think?

Guest Satanisk_Slakt Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I think he hated everything about recording CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowmass Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I think AFD & Lies were fun. UYI's were more challenging. SI was what it was. CD was too much pressure. Although I still say its damn good and if it was a solo deal woulda been received better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooting Star Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I don't think so. The guy is one hell of a perfectionist. He probably had alot of work recording, rerecording and rererecording the songs until finally achieving his goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaida Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) From what was reported, Axl appeared to make a rod for his own back - created expectations no one could live up to.Based on the recording process, Axl appeared to put most of the work-load on all those around him. I don't think fun is the word Edited June 27, 2012 by vaida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was not fun for him in all aspects, creating songs that reminded him of painful experiences, dealing with recording issues, band members coming and going - Honestly i think now Axl is having the most fun he's had since the early 90's. Thats why i say let him and these guys tour and get CD out of their system... Enjoy the shows! Remember it wasnt that long ago we were all dyeing for GnR to tour and once they stop we will all be yearning for them to your again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Might have been fun the first couple of years. Then I doubt it was fun for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
