Gambit83 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 There was another thread concerning Raz's new book "The Days of Guns, & Raz's," so if this needs to be moved I understand. https://www.amazon.com/RAZ-CUE/e/B0046X2OY2 BUT...for first time, literally ever, Raz did an official interview. He was paralyzed at the age of 15, then went on to manage LA Guns and introduce Tracii Guns to Axl, who would go on to create that "side project" called...Guns N' Roses. Raz also recalls Axl becoming the very first singer for LA Guns?! This is the just tip of the iceberg of Raz's story. Hope you enjoy!! https://www.iheart.com/podcast/53-Appetite-for-Distortion-27615384/episode/ep-26-raz-cue-author-28432271/?cmp=web_share - Brando 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Listening now. Great interview! Lots of cool early GnR trivia. Good insights into how the scene worked and what the community was like. Still plenty to listen to. Great job once again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine how busy she is and I'll follow up again. Meegan I need to reach out to definitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure Slash and Duff would be too scared Susan or Meegan would say something that would piss off Axl. We all know he runs a tight ship.

killuridols Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Susan and Meegan have become very popular among the fans but Im not sure this is the moment for them to talk. And yes, I think Slash and Duff would be nervous but I also think the girls are trained on what must be said or not about Axl. For example, in the latest Hello! Magazine from UK, Susan speaks wonders about Axl and in general, I think she knows how to conduct herself regarding that. Meegan would need some more training I guess, and she's more difficult to interview because of her past with Axl, that it is not cool at all. Any sharp journalist would try to break her and that's the dangerous part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janrichmond Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 McBob could be interesting, i'd like to know if he has to check with Axl about his intro or does he just say what he wants? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit83 Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 All of these are great ideas. We are recording again today and will definitely talk about what's been said here! 🤘🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogs Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Finally got through listening to the entire Raz Cue interview - nearly two hours, wow! Had to laugh at the bit about Axl, Tracii and the leather pants Thanks for posting the link on here. I've bought Raz's book, hopefully I can settle down with it this weekend. Another interviewee idea to consider might be Desi Benjamin, he made that recent "Scenesters" film about late 1980s Los Angeles. As mentioned elsewhere among the discussions, he was an early roadie for the band and would have his own stories about how the band developed and began to stand out from the rock crowd. Here's the Amazon link to his film: https://www.amazon.com/Scenesters-Music-Mayhem-Melrose-1985-1990/dp/B073DCW69Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499325043&sr=8-1&keywords=scenesters music mayhem %26 melrose ave. a documentary 1985-1990 All the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome suggestion, I'll look into it! Thanks for baring through 2 hours! Ha. I TRY to make the episodes an hour, but sometimes you need to go long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
