Hi Axl,

I am writing from Halifax, Nova Scotia.  You guys put on a great concert here back in 2007.  I was wondering do you still keep in touch with Bubbles from the Trailer Park Boys?  Hope to see you guys back this way on your next tour.

Axl,
How exactly do you guys form a song.  Do you write the lyrics first and then add the music, or do you usually think of the melody first, and /or song structure and write lyrics according to that?  I talked to Alice Cooper once and his band writes the music, gives it to him, and he does the lyrics.  Just wondering how you go about creating a song...although im sure it varies from situation to situation!  


Thanks for the great album by the way!

Once again Axl, glad to have finally caught you. I sacrificed you to go Christmas shopping with a pretty girl yesterday, won't happen again :tongue:

I suppose my question relates to how you picked this specific tracklist for the album. Did you feel that they all tied in with some specific theme? I ask because CITR wasn't believed to be on the album and then to my surprise it made the final cut. I'd just like some insight into how you decided what 14 tracks would make the album :)

Thank you Axl, you've been an inspiration to me all my life :)

is more than i know you believe
what i thought of you now...
has i thought was true before
where lies i couldn't see

can you please correct?

and are you still a gun collector?

Hey Axl, great album man... I have a question, during the next tour is there any chance of you coming to Iceland? It would be nice to see you guys over here :nod:

Oh yeah... I would also like to say that I miss the bandana :) just kidding, there just needed to be some question or comment about it when considering some of the threads we've seen though the years :slywink:

And one bonus question... what's you're relationship with Dave Mustaine? Since he's my second favortie musician after you I'm just a bit curious.

Hey Axl, just wanted to thank you for all this, it's pretty un heard of for any artist to do this, so thanks alot man  :rockon:

Anyways, I was wondering about the situtation that happened in Vancouver in 02'. Will you ever come back there? Or are you like perma-banned for life. If so, we here in Victoria have an arena you can use!  :D

Hi Axl,

Many, many thanks for doing this for us fans.

Myself and my brother saw you guys at the Hammersmith Apollo show in 2006, and loved it!

My question for you is as follows:

Once the band has put everything in place and is ready to tour again, would you consider playing venue's of this size in the UK again? I saw the Prodigy at the Brixton Academy in London last Friday, and think it would make an excellent venue for you guys too.

PS: Love the album (can't stop listening to 'There Was A Time' and 'Sorry' in particular)!

Hi Axl,

Some questions about Izzy:

a) can you imagine to work with Izzy again (songwriting, touring)?

b) is there a possibility for Izzy to rejoin GNR?

Thanx

Looking at your lyrics certain recurring themes tend to remind me of certain philosophers (I'd say Heidegger and Schopenhauer are the first to come to mind.) Not to suggest that you are consciously referencing them, but do you have an awareness of these guys' work or is it just a mixture of coincidence and assimilation through indirect influences or would you say there is anyone who has directly influenced you in this way?

Hey Axl, Thank you for the album (Excellent btw)...

Question 1: I heard "This I Love" was suppose to be in Robin Williams movie "What Dreams May Come", but it never happened. If this was true, whats your feelings on it not being used? would you have liked the song to be in the movie? It was a beautiful film...

P.S would there be a slight chance (if u do answer it) to say Hi Deep and Matty :ninja:.

Hope you come back to melbourne... (mind blowing show...)

Did you really meet with Dr. Martain Luther Kings family and what was their sentiments on Madagascar?
"I've come to know the cold,
I think of it as home.
When there ain't enough of me,
To go around,
I'd rather be left alone."
