[Jason Lee]

The Link is Up Now. You have to go to http://www.kshe95.com/museum/index.aspx Login and check it out.  It is in the museum under Favazz files. Good interview.  It is only a week old.

[reddragon53545]

[MykwithaY]

I believe you man, there's nothing on the site about looking for past broadcasts though - could you give us the outline of what was said please?

[Spirit]

   Thnks Lucky,
                     I have been looking over the http://www.kshe95.com/ site and don't see any info about it. But it was a cool interview so I am trying to get ahold of one of the DJ's to get a link to share if possible. Pale Divine are also going to do a reunion show here in the Lou. I will post info as soon as it becomes available.

How about a quick recap? Did he shine some light on GN'R or CD?

Yes he did shine some light on the cd. And something funny I noticed was when talking about who was in the band he said Robin Fink of Nine inch Nails fame, Tommy Stinson, Dizzy Reed of course and Brain Mantia...who he said played on the record but hadn't been touring lately because of his new baby He didn't mention BBF however.... I don't know why, he just didn't. He said Frank had been drumming on tour since Brain left to be w/family...but made it sound like Brain was still the drummer. We already know this stuff but it was cool to hear Richard talk about it. He also said Axl doesn't hate St.Louis or anything and said that he(Richard) would love to play here with Guns...and that he was trying to talk Axl into it. Anyway...if I can get ahold of one of the DJ's here at the station I will post a link to the audio.

Thanks Dude

Good Stuff 

[pitol]

It's all cool, but the band needs to be televised. It's kind of embarassing that 2 weeks before the launching of the album the general population has no fucking clue who is in the band, what they look like, who they are etc. If they want to seen as a band, they need to act as a band.

[cineater]

That radio station just put up a 24 minute video on the St. Louis riot.  It is in the museum on the back left in the red room.  Pretty good stuff.  The rest of the museum is a lot of fun too.

[DrRedFox]

[ShePoutsHerBest]

I just dropped them an email about it

[axlrose4eva]

about a week ago, as stated at the top of the thread

and on topic, richard fortus is a good guitarist, but I am glad he is making his money somewhere else because he has a minimal involvement in the finalised recordings of GNR and if I was him Id be quite pissed off at this point!

[pitol]

One has to register or what?

[surforia]

^Thanks for the perserverence!

Listening to the interview now...  Here were the highlights for me:

1.  He said that Robin was in the band, and that Brain "recorded on the album," but that Frank has been touring with them lately b/c Brain had a kid.

2.  He said that he and Axl talked about doing a "Gn'R Love Tour," where the band would play all the cities where fans had riots, and said that they could be free shows.

3.  He said that Axl and everybody else in Guns was very upset about Slash's autobiography.

4.  He said that Axl's going on late just has to do with him getting mentally ready to go on stage.

Overall, cool interview - the DJ was a bit clueless, but worth the listen.

Robin's probably not in the band LULZ.  the GN'R Love Tour would be a funny idea, especially if they keep the title.  'GN'R LURVE TOUR '09 <33333333333'

[gokken]

awesome interview. Richard is very cool!

[thestoryofriki]

haha seems like hes the most up to speaking about things, everyone else watches their words a lot more

[7ThereWasATime7]

How/where can i register?

[axlrose4eva]

He said that Robin was in the band

[GnrJanus]

DIzzy and Tommy said in 04 the album would be out (no offense meant by this)

and Richard in late 2006 interview confirmed CD in 2006 and next album in summer 2007. take all this with a big pile of salt, the band members have no idea what's going on.

Yeah...and so did Axl, year after year.
