giuls Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 1 hour ago, The Glow Inc. said: It's not about not wanting to share emotions because that's totally understandable... it's about the fact that half the world considers an Axl / Slash reunion something akin to the second coming of Christ and after all these years of hatred, Axl has nothing to say about it other than "we talked about Coachella and he showed up and played Chinese Democracy songs with Frank". I mean, surely, not necessarily disappointed as I don't really care about what they have to say other than about a new album but you can understand why people find it weird, no ? If he said more he opens himself to a) even more speculation that there are now b) follow up questions and there are two other options: 1) pour his heart out and well, it isn't our business and 2) dodge them and even more speculations will take place and having seen that people here are speculating to hell and back and we have 15 minutes, i see why they kept it short.

Iron MikeyJ Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I think Axl was fine, I think Duff is fine. I think some are reading too much into every little thing. Did Axl give "cautious" answers? Yes. But that's because how he is now. I honestly feel that he likes to keep his private life, and private feelings, PRIVATE now. He just doesn't want to share the details of every little thing with everybody anymore. I'm sure there were some pretty emotional conversations that took place between Axl, Slash, and Duff but we will probably never know the details of those conversations. I get it, it's not a big deal to me. I don't think Axl likes being in the media anymore, he likes Guns n Roses being in the media, but not Axl Rose. So he gives very vanilla answers to things in order to stay out of the media. He told us WHAT happened, not every detail no. But at least we know the just of it now. That's good enough for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolranchdressing! Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Was surprised how emotional Axl got about Beta/family which was sweet and reminded me he's human/vulnerable. I have to say, however, he seems a bit medicated vs earlier interviews in the 90s where he's chill. i think it was a very honest interview for televised and for those out there hoping for more in depth that's where a magazine article would come into play (like Rolling Stone if that even exists anymore!!)

Either they arent ready to talk about that and its still too sensitive, or everything just was never 100% patched up(which is okay, we cant expect them to be best friends at all times). Regardless, smooth save on the part of Duff because I thought the interview would venture into awkward had that question been attempted by Axl.

Spot on. Only something really really big and very important for him would make him go out of his shell and talk again like he used to talk in the 80's or 90's, otherwise I think we won't get that kind of interview with him ever again. Hopefully I'm wrong but I agree with you that he's decided to go very private about his personal life and wants to keep it like that. Maybe he got too burned when he shared all that he did in the past and that's why he doesn't want to put himself into that anymore. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicson Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Great interview. Stop analysing every gesture, word and detail. Gn'R are back. I think there will be new music too. They haven't denied it. Also, they were so kind to answer even delicate questions. Steven and Izzy are welcomed to the "Jungle". I guess it's up to them. I'm sure the whole story of getting back together will be in a documentary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally read that in Stern's voice of take me back to 96-98 hahaha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaxTeller Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Really cool interview. I thought it would only be things like " They all play good, we 're looking forward to come to brazil blah blah". 1)Pretty good we got stuff like the dinner and the phone call, but there weren't clear answers for new music. 2) It's not all about money. If it was, the reunion would have happened 10 years ago when there where more money on the table.Of course Axl is emotional when it comes to Slash.The guys ruled the world together and it is very sad that there was an ugly feud between them for 20+ years. 3) Some people say Axl is not excited about the reunion.Well, I've not seen Axl being more humble, energetic and HAPPY on stage in so many years. 4) Axl's relationship with Slash is still fragile but the guys have a very good time till now at least.You can't forget all the feud and the animosity for these 20+ years in just some months. 5) I think they save the "Big 3" interview for something bigger than GloboTV, when the time is right. Sorry Eddie you are not the chosen one. 6) THANK YOU DUFF (we all know if it wasn't him, we would still argue about Ashba) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changes Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Just watched the thing after reading here about Axl's demeanor. He just seemed nervous to me, and then at the end they mentioned that it was time to go on stage. Either he was just nervous about the interview or he was nervous and tense because it was just before the show, most likely both. He would probably have been more relaxed if it was after the show. I wouldn't read anything into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Eddie you are not the chosen one. 6) THANK YOU DUFF (we all know if it wasn't him, we would still argue about Ashba) Agree with all that except for number two. Axl said thoughts of the regrouping started when the Coachella guy started floating the idea of GnR playing (and making a reported 7 million dollars) and then Axl said something about his people gauging the interest out there or a reunion tour. That pretty much cements that this thing was initiated by the money. Axl is probably going to being home close to 50 million dollars over an 18-month period. Also, the "they would have done it ten years ago" theory doesn't really make sense, IMO. Axl was knee deep in Chinese Democracy and that band. There was no way he was going to end Round One by dropping his current band and album and bringing Slash back. That would have been Axl admitting defeat and that he couldn't make it without Slash and Duff. And Slash and Duff were extremely busy as well. Velvet Revolver was actually more successful than GnR was at the time. Their first album outsold CD. They won a Grammy. Then Duff had Loaded and numerous side projects. Slash grabbed Myles and has had a fairly successful solo run. So not regrouping earlier had nothing to do with money and everything to do with what the big three were doing with their careers. Fast forward to 2014-2015. CD has been out for 7-8 years. GnR has become a revolving door of members. Axl has no interest in releasing songs that DJ Ashba helped create. Loaded can only draw 250 people a show. And Slash is only playing to a couple thousand people a show. And is going through an expensive divorce. The timing was perfect to start looking into a reunion. Ten years ago the timing was horrible. So perfect timing and the chance for the Big Three to make 30-to-75 million dollars apiece? MSL claimed that Axl could make in the 100 million dollar range. So why a reunion now? Money. Timing. Chance to heal old wounds. Fun time of playing again with the best rock band of our generation. Probably in that order. And honestly that's perfectly ok. As fans we shouldn't care why they got back together. I don't care if Axl and Slash hate each other. I don't care if they are only doing it for the money. And I don't care if Axl makes a billion dollars to do it. As fans, all we should care about is the music and live performances. That's what is important. Not whether or not Slash and Axl are best buddies and not the motivation for getting back together. Those things belong to band members - not us. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Eddie you are not the chosen one. 6) THANK YOU DUFF (we all know if it wasn't him, we would still argue about Ashba) 10 years ago Axl still had hope that his GNR were going to be a relevant band. He was working to get Chinese Democracy released, which was supposed to be the big debut/announcement that Axl's GNR was for real. Since then, Chinese Democracy came and went, with no promotion from Axl, members quit, Axl seemingly had no interest or no ability to release new music, and he was reduced to playing Vegas residencies, where were pretty much viewed as a has-been playing his hits with a cover band. I doubt it's just about money but that may have been the motivating factor behind them trying to work things out personally. Either way, Axl's career status in 2014 was much different than it was in 2006. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modano09 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Of interest... Axl doesn't seem to know what's going on in the music industry these days, or at the very least didn't understand the question. Speeding up the tempo of old songs was a conscience decision by Duff, Slash and Frank. Axl seems to confirm that Izzy's flaky and he won't commit.
