Popular Post Gambit83 Posted March 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Honestly, one of my favorites conversations I've had on this podcast. Roberta talks about joining GNR, the UYI tour, how bandmates/management/fans treated her, the November Rain video and a lot more. What an amazing woman, she's forever awesome in my book. https://www.spreaker.com/cms/episodes/14390072/edit/info https://www.iheart.com/podcast/53-Appetite-for-Distortion-27615384/episode/ep-54-roberta-freeman-singervocalist-29107480/ https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/appetite-for-distortion/id1116569741?mt=2 Edited March 27, 2018 by Gambit83 16 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillionsOfSpiders Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Really great interview. A shame the GnR management made her feel quite unwelcome but good to hear the band members themselves were cool with her.

Carmenjello Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 i really enjoy the way you talk and your wittiness. Also you really listen and you can tell, you dont have a sheet of questions lying in front of you that you just go through point by point. And you dont start every question with „so...“. Thats refreshing 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats refreshing 😀 thank you, means a lot. I'll have bullet points in front of me and I'll do research to retain in my head, but you're right. Going ques to ques would really hinder an organic conversation. I think my guests appreciate that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fansince88 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 That was an awesome interview with Roberta. You've really had some great podcasts lately. Your interview style is so enjoyable -- You find a nice balance between talking about the person's GNR work and whatever projects they are currently working on and you can tell they are very comfortable with you. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top-Hatted One Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Im pretty sure the band minus Axl wasn’t 100% on board with the girls or expanding the band in general. Like when Axl brought in Dizzy and piano much to the bands dismay. Or Matt’s infamous “I thought I was joining a rock n roll band, what’s with the piano” quote. They always viewed themselves as a punk, bad ass in your face rock n roll band. I don’t think cockblocking has much to do with the girls not feeling welcomed at times Edited March 28, 2018 by Top-Hatted One Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydney Fan Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) After listening to this I can certainly deduce doug really is a complete incompetent prick especially to tell Roberta not to sing that part in KOHD and then Axl comes out and tells the complete opposite to Roberta to what doug says. Its clear doug really was the catalyst to the band ending and im surprised the band never really has completely buried him in public which is what he deserved. He really was a disgrace. I have a lot of respect for gilby and teddy after listening to the interview. Edited March 28, 2018 by Sydney Fan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’ll get Doug’s side one of these days too, but it’ll be hard not to believe Roberta and Alan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has more of a professional reputation than doug. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tori72 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) Nice interview, thank you. I was very interested in what she had to say about management and how the band members treated her. I’m glad you gave her enough space and time to talk sexism in GnR fandom towards her (then and today). One question though. What word did she use about the band members. I got it they were cool with her. She didn’t say a lot about them except Gilby and Matt. Might mean something too. Anyway, so the word: something that sounds like „bleach“? What word was it?

Italian girl Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 In the 90s I thought she was very lucky of having the possibility to hang out with guns n roses every night... I thought she was axl's secret lover 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Clickbait headlines AND he was reading this forum and reporting on the speculation that we were having... speculation sometimes based on nothing but what we think, rather than insider info or anything like that. That's why I don't appreciate Alternative nation. Everybody does clickbait headlines, but taking fan forum conversations and using them for articles is not journalism.
