Nice. Kinda wierd for the band/Axl not letting him hear the CD songs, but hey!

Really, an AWESOME interview as always. Very interesting stuff there. At least Ron isn't the "new guy" anymore. I'm sure he had his talk with DJ and the whole experience.

He is a cool guy after all. I have absolutely no respect for him when he pretends to be a tough guy though.

I think you took his twitter - in-court-jury-duty- remarks a little to serious. It was just a joke, a funny one at that, imo.

for thise confused, Ron joked that a guy with him on jury duty (i believe) was wearing a shitty coat/jacket, and said something to the effect of, "i should beat on that guy just for wearing that coat!"

I found it funny. I dont think Ron thinks he's a tough guy at all! He's great though, good interview.

:rockon:He is brilliant!

I hope that his whish for recording an album with that line-up come true and they will go to studio sometime in the future and make a record!

would be awsome!

But till that time I cant wait to hear them live in Europe!

He is pretty damn cool... at least he comes over really well in interviews.

I had no idea he'd been a lecturer though. Or that he'd been talking to GN'R as early as 2004.

I often fantasized about having one of my teachers end up in Gnr, that would be a cool story to tell.

As for how he got in the band: Notice how bad management was, BBF basically said Fuck it because how dumb they were. How can old mgmt not find a guitar player for 2 years to play in gnr?

A lot of what he said about the old mgmt are little stories I had fabricated in my head, like he really could not hear the new stuff, etc... That is so weird to me, and it makes the band look kinda bad. How can Robin or Richard not be like "hey dude, I know you're not supposed to hear any of this, but they are assholes and you are our new lead guitarist.. duh? There have been rumors that BBF and Robin never got along, and after reading this I could see why. It seems like that old if I help this guy he might replace me mentality.

Any hoo, great read, thanks to thread starter and to BBF.

Good stuff !!! Happy Birthday Axl
