Frequently Axled Questions

Q: Why was 'The Blues' renamed?

Axl: "The Blues was my first working title and I was never comfortable with it in the sense that I felt that should be used with a bluesier based song. And here in Hollywood with the walk of fame etc I had always seen that imagery in my head when I think of it. I also like the idea of the song having in affect two titles."

Q: Why are you late for shows?

Axl: "I've been an after midnight type since I was sneakin' out of my house in Jr. High. With old Guns we preferred 12am or so. When we moved to theaters etc obviously that changes but it's never changed inside me. Doesn't matter what I do so generally that's when I'm more myself. This isn't to mess with anyone that has an early schedule to keep it's just personal preference.

And in regard to the size venues I'm on record as preferring what ever venues allow for our schedule but management and promoters can do a lot in their own interests behind the scenes that can rarely be avoided and their greed or whatever leads to a lot of double talk and ugly behind nonsense that generally eventually ruins things for everyone. Translated once a tour is scheduled however it's like parting the seas to change.

As far as being late, I've been that way my whole life. It drove Izzy crazy but he would check himself and freely admit I was generally actually doing something that had to get done rather than watching basketball etc."

Q: Why don't you listen to me bitch and whine and moan about things I don't like?

Axl: "Your misconceptions and fantasies along with your misguided sense of entitlement don't dictate my actions."

Q: Axl was their ever a cover B and cover C for chinese democracy?

Axl: "Yes there are. There are 2 more covers/bk cover combos and the real booklet that is all artwork that will be out shortly in some form. It's been an ugly battle that hasn't made any sense to anyone and whether anyone cares about such things the booklet or artwork has always been something I've been passionate about and to release the album with unapproved and unseen final artwork with a !st work only error filled draft when others more recent were readily available still has not been explained but is finally getting cleared up. My fave is the How Are You Grenade cover. "

Q: Is there a "Better" Video? When will it be out?

Axl: "Soon is the word as in a week or so."

Q: Are "Atlas Shrugged", "No Love Remains", "Take That", "When Love Collides" real song titles?

Axl: "only Atlas."

Q: Axl, whats your favourite song from either Chinese Democracy, or from an unreleased album?

Axl: The bridge in "Elvis Presley and the Monster of Soul aka The Soul Monster (working title Leave Me Alone)" which will no doubt end up "Soul Monster".

Q: Axl do you really have 2 or 3 other albums of material?

Axl: "For now we'll concentrate and keep our focus on this album but I will say I've always thought of it as a double."

Q: Is "Checkmate" a legit title?

A: No that was made up by a fan.

Axl: "Checkmate is a bogus title. The working title is Jackie Chan."

Q: When are the online shop opening?

Axl: "I haven't been involved much in any of our merch and the reasons are it's been a mess legally for years. Unbeknownst to most of you I was recently sued again by Duff and Slash for some murky Merckiness that I was unaware and not involved in. Fortunately that was resolved but it got ugly and took a while going into arbitration.

Merck shifted our merch from some of our newer styles to incorporating more of the old with some scam that actually and surprisingly lost sales in comparison but that's old news.

What I look forward to is incorporating the new artwork into our merch and getting some for myself. I think u'll like a lot of it. My vote's for the How Are You grenade and the Sorry automatic rifle artwork on shirts etc."

Q: Axl how do you feel about Kanye outselling Chinese Democracy? Do you like Kanye's music?

Axl: "I met Kanye at the Versace awards. He was very gracious. I love Gold Digger and told him so. I'm a big fan of his stage performance as he seems to go for it physically which I relate more to. B4 r release I sent him a msg that any nonsense from the media had nothing to do with us and wished him the best. I'm humbled we've done as well as we have considering."

da-illest says:
I have one question for you Axl. What is stopping the fans from seeing you Slash, Duff, and Izzy back on stage together?


dexter (axl):
U've been lied to and misled for such a long time that sorting through all that here is virtually impossible. A lot will come out over time but the truth has been out there for a long time as well but that doesn't give you what you want so this dance just goes on and on.
