Q&A with Axl Rose
February 11th, 2009 by Eric Snider in News
Axl Rose rarely gives interviews, as you may have heard, but when he does, he has a lot to say. Billboard scored a Q&A with the mercurial Guns N’ Roses frontman, and he gives plenty of insight into the making and marketing of Chinese Democracy (including a detailed slam on record companies), and talks freely about other topics.
Here’s a tidbit regarding Slash:
In regards to Slash, I read a desperate fan’s message about, what if one of us were to die and looking back I had the possibility of a reunion now, blah blah blah. And my thoughts are, “Yeah, and while you’re at the show your baby accidentally kicks a candle and burns your house down, killing himself and the rest of your family.”
Give me a fucking break. What’s clear is that one of the two of us will die before a reunion and however sad, ugly or unfortunate anyone views it, it is how it is. Those decisions were made a long time ago and reiterated year after year by one man.

Dude. I hope I don’t become like Axl. I grew up loving G n’ R and knowing every move to the video for “Welcome to the Jungle”. I am ashamed to admit that I still have not listened to the entire Chinese Democracy…
