Carlos Castaneda Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 not to put anyone on a downer but if you are looking for him to mention another record you are going to be let downits going to e purely to promote the Vegas showsI agree with you. Im sure the Hard Rock has contract stipulations to promote the vegas gigs and this interview is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I don't consider this little interview as "monumental" promotion or "promotion" at all but I think it could be a great start for Axl to go out there.He should definitely do more interviews and maybe get a deal with some trusty/reliable and serious interviewer in a respectful American TV show or whatever where he can freely sit down for an hour and finally tell his side of the story. If Slash lied as he claims, it's time for payback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gunns Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Its great either way , whatever question are or aren't asked won't change the fact that Axl is finally getting out there and doing things he probably should of done years a go.

WhazUp Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Jimmy Kimmel is good buddies with Howard Stern so in some strange circumstance I am hoping that somehow Howard and Axl get to talking. That would be THE Axl interview to hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 They must really be struggling to sell tickets for Vegas for Axl to do this. It will be a interview based around a few funny stories from Axl and then talking about the Vegas shows.I was waiting for a post like this. Shows in Vegas don't sell like shows everywhere else. Most people going to Vegas buy event tickets the day of or the day before. My guess is that most, if not all, shows will be a sellout, but few will actually sell out before the date (as is the case with most Vegas shows, I as I just mentioned).My curiosity is whether Axl's appearance on a late-night talk show was part of the contract GNR signed with the promoters/venue. It seems out of character for Axl to promote his shows unless it's contractually required. Honestly that has not been my experience everytime I've been to Vegas. Shows with a limited engagement, such as this, sell out quickly, usually months in advance, while tickets for longer running shows are more readily available. I think it also depends on the time of the year. October/November might be drawing an older crowd than the spring and summer months. I'm not too worried about GNR selling shows out however, or close enough to it. Interesting comment about being contractually obligated. I sorta hope not. I'd like to think this was something he wanted to do as opposed to having to do.Yeah, perhaps timing might have much to do with demand. I'm not really sure when the hot times are in Vegas. I know here in Toronto the busiest time for the service industry is in the fall (people hibernate in the winter and go out of town during the summer). I really don't see Axl doing this because he really wanted to. It's never been his style. I was throwing around the idea that perhaps he's contractually obligated to do a major television appearance to promote the shows if sales haven't met targets by a certain date, but the problem with this notion is that if that were the case, you would think the appearance would be moved up. Who knows. Should be interesting nonetheless. Kimmel makes sense though. He's not going to do a NYC show since he's mostly speaking to the western markets. He's not going to do Leno because he reaches an older audience. He's not going to do Conan since he's on cable and well, considering how Conan doesn't think the band should be called GNR without Slash (and the fact that he uses Slash's face whenever he puts a web address on television). That really only leaves Kimmel by default. Hopefully it's an enjoyable experience for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
