Rockline 1994

[w 23 axl]

I dont understand.....

if you listen to that interview in 1994 with Axl & Slash, they seem SOOOOO cool with each other. Axl seems so happy. WTF happened???

Now....Axl DID say "Slash just gave him new tapes that day" and he couldnt wait to go listen to them, and Slash responded by saying "that's too much pressure" then laughed...

Im wondering.....did Axl take those tapes home, listen, and did it hit him: "Oh my God....I have no interest in doing these songs, and moreover, I dont even want to do this style anymore, or atleast I want to explore"

B/c the 1994 rockline interview was so peaceful and cool, I cant imagine what messed it all up SOOOO badly after that???


BTW, the last words spoken when Slash and Axl were together: "Yo Beta"...listen to the end of the interview!!!!

Is this for real?

I thought Axl never gave any interviews whatsoever after 1993

Really cool, never heard this before.
Thanx w 23 axl, for mentioning. 

For your original question - I don't really have an answer.
I am an old fan and I would be more than happy if the split-up never happand.

But lately, I think I should close that part of the history of GNR and move on with the new one.
Because there is so much new to discover and this makes me curious and excited again.

You know, we could discuss these why's and what if's till we are old and gray and I think it won't change a thing.
It is as it is.
Now I'm trying to enjoy what I have.
I will always cherish the old band, but I think now is the time to give some credit to the new one.

What I imagine is...Axl went home, popped the tapes in, and he was really, REALLY disappointed. And that eventually led to the 2 of them splitting....but slowly, over time. They tried to work it out, but Axl seemed to really change as a person b/w 1993-1996.

Its so sad to hear this interview though....kinda like the last show of the UYI Tour, when Axl n Slash hugged on-stage, and took a final bow just the two of them, before disappearing forever.

Did they know that was the end?

[Bumbles N Roses]

Did they know that was the end?

When the bowed?  No.

[w 23 axl]

I think they both kinda knew it COULD be the end....Axl said he thought the band was done BEFORE the illusion tour. but then again, he seems to have to ruin anything thats good for him.

so when they bowed, i think they both thought maybe its over....maybe not....they DID know the tour was over though...
