Debt Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I recall Axl stating in the 2006 Trunk interview that he either visited or lived in China prior to the release of CD. I thought Axl saids he lived in China for months. I feel like this is a Blackstar question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyL Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 If I remember correctly, he stated that he was there for like 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Yes, Axl told Trunk in 2006 that he had spent 3 months in China two years before. It's unclear though when that was exactly. He was reportedly in China in October 2002, during the period between the VMAs and the NA tour, but that would amount to two months at most, not three months: https://www.a-4-d.com/t5364-23-january-2001-november-2002-richard-replaces-paul-touring-starts#21439 Maybe he went there again in 2004.

Or maybe he misremembered and thought he was there for longer than he actually was and meant to say “four years ago” instead of two.

I'm uncharitably picturing Axl smoking a cigar/drinking Bud in the VIP of the Shanghai Rainbow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hudsonsaul Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 The CD cover is from a wall in Hong Kong. There were rumors during his more wilderness years he spent time there, can't remember where I read that at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumandraisin Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Supposedly in August or Sep 2002. It's highly like not true as no ones mentioned it since. If anything was shot I can't see it being more then some shots of Axl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAxlMorrison Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Was it just Axl who stayed there, or the whole band at the time? Pretty sure I’ve read both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
