The JRE

[Guest]

I don't have a problem with Axl on the JRE as much as it being his first interview in 7 years. Like JRE is down the list of interviews I'd like to see him do. I don't know if he still does it but Brian Johnson of AC/DC had a show where he'd hang out and interview fellow musicians that I'd like to see him do.

It seems you don't get the point of JRE

You're right about that.  I certainly don't get why anyone would waste three hours of their time listening to someone meander about irreverent matters.  

My problem is rarely with Rogan, but his fans who too often blindly accepts whoever or whatever Rogan puts on his program.  There are so many better podcasts run by people who spend time researching a subject or person before devoting an entire episode them.  I don't take issue with the "shoot the shit" approach, but how often and by so many who find so much value in most of it.

His podcast is literally NOT AN INTERVIEW

Again, I mostly agree with that statement.  Because if it were a true interview show, it would be unbearable.  But really we're talking about semantics.  Whether you view long-form conversations interviews or not, there is still much better places to hear the topics covered by Rogan.

Many people who only tune in when their favourite musician is on there often end up disappointed because they EXPECT an interview, but it's not one and not designed to be one.

How is there much value in this then?  Why am I spending three hours of my day to listen to, say, Steven Tyler, talk about anything and everything save for the thing that makes him interesting?  Maybe you have the time to spend on which fish a famous musician likes to catch or what toppings they put on their subs, but I don't.  But again, to each their own.  If you find value or entertainment in any of that, fine.

It is evident if you actually listen to episodes such as with Paul Stanley or David Lee Roth where they don't talk much about the music but life in general and other random things. There is no formula or pre written questions, just free flowing thoughts for 3 hours.

That sounds excruciating.

I can see Axl doing Rogan, they both are funny and Axl can have time to develop answers and not being a fast paced interview. Also Duff can be a chance, his history about recoverying from alcohol through martial arts can be something he can relate with Joe.

Be wary of anyone saying "This music artist should do an interview on Joe Rogan" instead of saying they should do one with e.g. Marc Maron. Or even Rick Beato.

oh yeah, be wary of anyone who doesn't share your preference.

I never said he was funny or great at it, but he knows a lot of comedians and has a history and track record in the industry.

Axl on JRE would be something worth paying for. I would hope they talked a lot about the CD-era.

I think we all heard about that more than enough times!

At least the show isn’t an echo chamber, I’m just not that interested in his interviews in general. I find Stern more entertaining, or so at least he used to be. I’m not sure Axl would be up for spending that kind of time with anyone in any interview setting much less Joe Rogan.

Joe Rogan would have no idea what Chinese Democracy is whatsoever.

Beyond that i doubt any interviewer would know much or care to ask many questions besides the Appetite pod. I'm curious to know about the era too but would bet answers would ruin the whole mystic when it's revealed that he wasn't doing much of anything. According to Josh Freese they resorted to making balloon hats out of boredom waiting for Axl to show up

I think the best forum for Axl would be a book but that is probably even less likely.

I think there's ways to ask Axl about Chinese Democracy that aren't unpleasant like which songs are his favorite or what it's like performing them with Slash and Duff. I'd love for Axl to expand more about what went on but there's been interviews in the past where he's talked about it. With Joe Rogan I imagine he mostly knows the big hits from the classic albums.

[axlslash]

I'd much rather hear Axl talk to Marc Marron or Howard Stern, or even Conan O'Brien, who actually interview their guests. A blowhard like Rogan wouldn't get Axl to let his guard down much.

I have to agree listening to David Lee Roth babble for 3 fucking hours should be illegal as it constitutes torture

JR is a self-admitted idiot.  He knows a lot about stand up comedy and MMA.  If his guests were limited to those areas, I wouldn't have an issue with him. 

But he's the last person who should be interviewing many of the people he has on.  If you need three hours to interview someone, you're not very good at interviewing.

I'd much prefer to hear Howard Stern interview Axl.  Stern is great with people who are generally uncomfortable being interviewed.  Despite the tone of the rest of the show, Stern is a relatively grounded interviewer who often puts his guests at ease, enabling them to open up in ways that most interviewers do not.  

Either way, I don't see Axl doing any long-form interviews any time soon.  

If you had ever watched or listened to JRE you would know its more about a laidback conversation and not a interview. The conversation can go in any direction and span any topic with the guest. It is not structured as a interview at all and does not need to be about music or business.

Axl would be very interesting in this format. We can learn more on how Axl is as a person where he can speak freely and not just hear the generic music interview questions.

Joe Rogans a walloper

For me it was mostly, regarding peak COVID the dude spouting out just false and potentially harmful info regarding actions during a pandemic, and as well as giving some really skethy peeps and ideas such a major platform.  I can't see Axl, based on his views and statements on Twitter, ever subscribing to wanting to give him the light of day when other interviewers can provide a long form interview without all that baggage

What false and potentially harmful information do you speak of? Specifically.

Let's never forget that Joe Rogan said he was fist-bumping to Rockin' in the Free World in in his car in 1986. 

The song was written in early 1989.

Disinformation all day everyday.

Go on Marc Maron Axl. Or Conan. Or that British Apple-dude. Or Rick Beato.

Beato isn’t into GNR. He is an alt rock fanboy. GN’R are also one of the bands on his ‘butthurt list’ because they block the use of their music on YouTube. They’ve appeared in his lists, but he seems to put them in begrudgingly. 
 

rogan knows dick about music, but I don’t wanna hear Axl talk about his liberal use of the mixolydian mode or Slash’ tendency to mix minor and major pentatonics… I wanna hear about what he thinks about chimp attacks, UFOs and whether the COVID vaccine makes you gay. I honestly think Rogan’s pseudo-bro-intellectualism would suit him better than Beato’s sycophantic cork sniffing.

Nothing better than a youtuber having the gall to cry about being denied using stuff, they do not own or have any rights in the world to use, because they want to make money off other people's property.

And 50% of the interview would be Rogan talking about all the wild game he eats.

I give it 10 minutes before he asked him if he has ever done DMT
