Sebastian Bach interviews (talking about AXL) keep all in one thread

[Sweersa]

well at least he is makin some waves lol.

True.

[AndAndew]

Dont overlook that most important thing he said "He tells me that all the time about everything now , dont tell the press" That indicates that there are a lot more things planned really soon that Baz knows about only thing is Axl dont want people to know until GnRs Promotion lets it be known. Baz has been a good spokesperson for Gnr for the last 3 years but now its time to step aside and let the Real Advertisement start. Conversations about Chinese Democracy and Singles and this song and that are being kept underwraps and thats great news for GnR fans.

dont tell the press lol

[Guns N Axl]

I love it how Bach said that Axl told him "Dont tell anyone in the press about Shackler's Revenge" Haha funny shit!

[horsey]

arry Rodgers of The Arizona Republic recently caught up with former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach who checked in from his tour bus to talk about his latest solo album, Angel Down, and rocking two decades after he debuted with Skid Row. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow.

The Arizona Republic: Are you happy with how Angel Down turned out?

Bach: Angel Down is more what I expect of myself and what the fans expect of me. In a lot of the songs, I sound real young, and it's really astonishing, the way I've lived my life and how I've beat the shit out of myself for 20 years. (laughs) On a couple of songs, like You Don't Understand and By Your Side, I sound like a little boy, and I have to laugh. I plan on singing for the rest of my life, so get used to it.

The Arizona Republic: You and Axl sound like you are having fun on Aerosmith's Back In The Saddle on the new CD.

Bach: I hadn't planned on doing any covers, but (producer) Roy (Z.) suggested Back In The Saddle. I've always loved the song and Aerosmith. But I wasn't convinced until I heard my band play it (in rehearsal). . . . I put my feet up, cracked open a Modelo Especial, and my band started playing. I was freaking out, and I ran into the vocal booth with the beer in my hand and just went for it, old-school. A lot of that first take is in there.

The Arizona Republic: Axl also appears on two other tracks - Stuck Inside and Love Is A Bitchslap. Are you guys close?

Bach: I'm a fan. Everybody is waiting for Chinese Democracy (the long-delayed Guns N' Roses project), and out of the blue Axl sings three songs on my solo record. It's unbelievable. At the end of the day, I'm a Skid Row and Guns N' Roses fan, and to have me and Axl together, screaming and singing . . . blows my mind.

The Arizona Republic: You sang on one track for Chinese Democracy. How did that come about?

Bach: Axl had a Christmas party at his place in Malibu (in 2006). He was cranking Chinese Democracy and I was playing pinball and I was singing a harmony to the chorus of this song, Sorry. Axl ran up to me and said, "Dude that sounds fucking awesome!" The very next week . . . we scheduled a session at Electric Lady Studios (in New York). It's slow, "doomy," heavy song.

The Arizona Republic: What did the Chinese Democracy tracks you heard sound like?

Bach: It's epic, it's very big. It's like those songs Estranged and November Rain, the giant theatrical sound, but behind the beat is the swagger of Appetite (For Destruction).

Former CD Producer: "It was a blast working with Axl"


Johnny Firecloud of Antiquiet recently conducted an interview with musician and record producer Sean Beavan. Besides being one half of the hypnotic trip-hop duo 8mm, he has also worked on the mythical "Chinese Democracy" project around the turn of the century. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow.

Antiquiet: Walk us through the experience of working on the new Guns N' Roses album.

Sean Beavan: Ah yes, that was a long time ago. It was between '98 and 2000, I think. Tommy Stinson and I became good friends, and we see each other quite a bit, so he gives me updates here and there. I have no idea what's going on now. Almost everybody involved with the project when I was working on it isn't a part of it anymore. It was Josh Freese on drums, Tommy was playing bass... Dizzy was playing keyboards, and I think he's still doing that. It was a blast working with Axl. He was a really funny guy. That's probably the one thing that surprised me the most- just how funny the guy could be. When he'd come in to do vocals, he'd warm up for like forty-five minutes not by singing, but by telling jokes. He was just extremely funny and super nice.

Antiquiet: Was there any sense that Chinese Democracy was nearing completion back then?

Sean Beavan: I thought there was. (laughs) I think we worked on thirty-five songs or something. But the guy just continually creates, and as people changed into and out of the band, a lot of things got re-tracked. I'd love to see the record come out soon, but we'll see. They say it was turned in.

[ErEr]

Nice, although I dont like bachs music and I dont believe him cause he says a lot.

but nice post though 

[Johny]

Tnx.. Untill They Remove It

[reddragon53545]

Johny .. nice article

 LOL  I wonder if Baz is getting tired of people continually asking him about Axl on his record .. and answering the same way everytime ..    He should just call the fuckin record "Axl Down... cause you know he's on 3 tracks"

[GnrJanus]

no sh*t

[Bright Eyes 2005]

Makes me wonder about Stinson's current status, the way he phrased this???
