VillageGorillaHead Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Just browsing, and for me this is it: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/06/arts/music/06leed.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0The Most Expensive Album Never Made by Jeff Leeds.Came across it when I was 14 or 15, and it's the kind of article that encapsulated how I felt about Axl Rose, Chinese Democracy and Guns N' Roses.

Young_Gun Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Indeed it is an awesome article. As is the "what happened to Axl Rose" article:http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/articles/showarticle.php?articleid=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Dude Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 There's an article that was written around the time of the Hammerstein that I've always liked. Some dude travels to his hometown and interviews some people that he got into fights with when he was a kid. Then he travels to NY where he's suppose to interview Axl for the shows, but it never materializes. It came across as more of a psychological profile than anything. Might have been GQ, can't remember for sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicrawker Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 The article in Claasic Rock magazine about the making of ChiDem called "Chinese Whispers" was a great read about the madness that went on........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Dude Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Yeah, Chinese Whispers was great- not the condensed version that got published, but the comprehensive version that covers everything between 93 and 08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but the condensed version is pretty good as well for anyone who does not want to read the complete timeline as it hits the highlights.http://www.gnrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?id=4285Also found this article on the 5 year anniversery of ChiDem when searching for the Chinese Whispers article which is pretty interestinghttp://www.classicrockmagazine.com/features/chinese-democracy-five-years-on/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durruti column Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 best gnr interview 2001 - Classic Rock Izzy Stradlin was the most degenerate member of the most dangerous band in the world. He took Axl to LA, then left after the singer took him to the cleaners. In his frankest interview ever, the former Guns N' Roses guitarist levels with Mick Wall : http://web.archive.org/web/20080724121358/http://www.chopaway.com/articles/classicrock2001.php 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really long. It helps shine a lot of light on the wedge(s) that drove Axl and Slash apart...and continue to keep them apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
