I allways believe in Guns N Roses, and love all your music, past and present, and I think future  

My wedding music was Sweet Child O'Mine with violins

[AxlsProphet]

[sergiodefenders]

Axl, Your performance in Chinese Democracy it's amazing, Which song do you think will be more complicated for you to sing?.

Hi Axl!  Greetings from Norway!

Words aren't invented to describe the feeling of finally having the album! Pure masterpiece!!

There must have been lots of memorable moments from the ChiDem recording-sessions.

Could you list a few...?

[ironrose]

Axl,
I don't know what I should ask you cause I'm right now speechless.My hands are shacking and got cold.I don't wanna be seen that I look ridiculous.
But I have to make my all words darker so You can notice my post.
Please Answer,Just to say hi would be enough for me.

[Karin_Sixx]

Dearest Axl,

Would you like to go, with me, for dinner, next time you are in London?

Oh, and I will pay, I don't want you to think that I'm cheap.

[guy]

Would you ever consider doing a show with a full orchestra backing the band? Similar to what bands like Kiss, Metallica and Collective Soul have done?

I think it'd be awesome, and the new and old songs would sound awesome with orchestral accompaniment.

Can we expect more experimental music from you in the future, maybe trying something a little more out of the hard rock or rock genre?

[monkeychow]

Axl any chance you could comment on the lyrical inspiration for Shackler's Revenge, Riad or Catcher? I've read various theories on each and I'd love to know the truth.

thanks for this album, it's made the world a better place.

[DazRose01]

Welcome Axl! Hope you are well sir

Will we ever hear the re-recorded version of Appetite and did you originally record This I Love in 1993/94?

Take care!

[pitol]

Can we expect any news on the alternative cover versions of Chinese Democracy being released or tour in the first three months of 2009?

[steffi115]

Are you happy? Do you feel loved?

[ThinkAboutYou]

Axl what did you think of Marc Canters book reckless road?

were you glad Marc was around to document the beginning of guns n roses?

[Artaxerxes]

How do you train your voice and warm it up before shows and recording?
How did you avoid damaging it back in the eighties, when fx you partied and didn't have a place to live? How did you manage to still train it sufficiently in that time?

I'd really like to know, this IS what I'd like answered more than anything else

And how have you avoided losing your range up till now (that place in IRS - "you know it's truuuuue" - where you hold the note for god-knows-how-long is my fav moment on CD )

Or, well, anything about how you deal/used to deal with/train your voice would be of great interest, thanks 


PS. Thanks you SO much for Catcher, IRS and Shackler, can't live without them. And for all the others also as well
