sascha Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) So I was browsing through YouTube the other day and found these really amazing interviews the guy does. It's not the usual crap, he does really good interviews.Axl going on Jimmy Kimmel and doing a bit with USA Today was one thing and it was great seing him open up for a bit, but Axl sitting down with this guy could really be like the one interview all fans have been waiting for a long time.Have a look at this guy working his way around yet into Robert Plant without asking "so when is Led Zeppelin going to reunite" ever or how he got Neil Young to open up about songwriting and stuf and tell me you wouldn't love to see Axl sitting there shooting the shit with this guy.What do you think?

AppetiteForGnR Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) I think Jian's voice makes housewives across Canada moist.But seriously, I enjoy some of his interviews. Like the ones with Adele. Axl should stop by his radio studio on their next Canadian tour. Edited November 6, 2012 by AppetiteForGnR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallingred85 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Absolutely agree. Not only is he a music guy, but knows how to ask good questions to ignite conversations. His interview with Billy Corgan was great: http://www.cbc.ca/q/uncut/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sascha Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 He's like the only guy I could think of to go a little deeper without being too pushy and ask about the current state of the band while at the same time being respectful about the old without geting into nostalgia been there done that 'when are you gonna reunite with Slash' type of bullshit. The Plant interview is a great example of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't trying to get Slash to badmouth Axl either, it was all about the music and the creative process, very respectful and insightful, really good interviewer.Not too get too excited but that guy having Axl on the show could hit a million views on YT in no time. The overall reaction to the Kmmel interview was very positive, now think of what could be gained from an in depth on camera talk with such a great interviewer.

Snowmass Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 So I was browsing through YouTube the other day and found these really amazing interviews the guy does.

Great interview....Plant is so classy. Imagine if he'd been calling his various line ups/bands Led Zeppelin, Zep woulda gone down as a joke but he kept it classy. Axl shoulda gone the same route, things woulda turned out so much different for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sascha Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Great interview....Plant is so classy. Imagine if he'd been calling his various line ups/bands Led Zeppelin, Zep woulda gone down as a joke but he kept it classy. Axl shoulda gone the same route, things woulda turned out so much different for him.For me Axl has more in common with Page actually, in that their bands are probably the only or at least the biggest thing for them in their creative life, while Slash and Plant don't need their bands as much to keep going, Axl and Page pretty much define themselves as artists through the band.And I agree Robert is great in that interview, but so the interviewer.Have you seen that pathetic Billy Corgan interview the guy did? The interviewer was basically rolling out a red carpet for him, but Corgan just went into his usual bitchwhine mode about 'the state of music' and all that shit.Then up comes Robert Plant and goes "Up there on the pantheon, there are no iPods." You have the difference between a monkey and a god right there in that one quote.Man I would love see Axl sitting down with that interviewer.
