His most recent book the Life and Times of A Rock N' Roll Band came out late last year 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant listen to the interview right now and I'll probably not be able to do so in the next days but... Does this guy has any credibility to confirm this? I've been looking for a official AFD reissue, remastered and with extra material or not for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2112 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I don't agree with the "what are they going to sing about, they have all the money in the world" thing. If that was true, then how do you explain UYI? they were essentially set for money, and were spoiled rockstars... 30 years later, nothings changed. I don't see Guns releasing a song for a movie, and that being the only material we get from this line up. I could definitely see Guns being approached for something like that and that being the catalyst for getting them to work on something though. But who knows!? I don't know what their current deal is with Universal and I don't know the common mindset within the band regarding albums or just singles.... or if they want new music or not. Personally, I expect a record from this band... but soon is not the word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true there are a good few songs that date back to pre-AFD. But still plenty of songs like right next door to hell written specifically for UYI, that have a lot of attitude and venom.

I’ve ordered the book and George Chin’s 1995 photobook.I’ve been following the GNR central interviews for the past month, my favourite was Sean Beavan. I’m halfway through Teddy’s. Have been following the band since 88, but only got to see them from 2002. Download will be my 18th GNR gig. I agree that Appetite is the best, but contrary to most views Chinese D is an overlooked gem, imo. Criticism of overproduction really, GNR are balls out not Radiohead (which are another favourite of mine). What bad songs are on CD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We interviewed Doug Goldstein for over 3 hours on the weekend. We'll be posting it on wednesday morning! Doug even shed a few tears during our interview. Some really good stories he had. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, im sure when doug looks back on GNR he would say to borrow the line from a frank Sinatra song, regrets ive had a few. The only positive is that the band members know where they went wrong in their relationship and partly caused by dougs management style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeperilsofrockNRollDekednz Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Wow, interviewing Doug Golstein. Looking forward to that. I hope you manage to speak to Roy Thomas Baker at some point. You have a great book in the making. I’d love a book on the making of Chinese Democracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
