Popular Post GoBucky Posted August 10, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Good time last night...Richard is a legit nice guy. He mentioned that he talks to Axl every day, but would only give a sly smirk when I asked about new music. He said he had to make some changes in his settings and playing once Slash came back because of his different tone. He mentioned that it was Axl's idea to play 'marathon shows', and the fact that he runs in actual marathons helps him get through the shows. He said that the 2 Soldier Field shows were on top of his list for favorite shows on the entire tour. He said he has nothing negative to say at all about Axl, and is close enough to him that he would say if he did. He talked about his motorcycle crash and said that Tommy Stinson is his best friend. Not much besides tech talk was discussed and I've never played a guitar so it was way over my head.

GoBucky Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 He did also mention to me that he believes Angus had a big part in Axl's professionalism and punctuality on this tour and Axl really looks up to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
