Axl, when's the record coming out??
"Fall, late fall, definetely this year!"
The band is pretty much the same from 2002, but.. "there will be somebody new there I'm not saying who... he's not from the past...";
Brian May on the record? "I don't know.. The song is still a demo..."
"This is all about you right now! You know whats funny Axl, this is the first time everyone in this room has shut up..."
Is this the start?
"Hopefully.. the last time when we did it, a lot of people were pressuring us to do it, kinda talking me into it.. the US thing did really good for the guys in the band, they are all still there.. Buckets bucket has kinda been the same trip before he has been with us.. kinda in his own world.. the rest of us felt like a band and stayed a band!"
"Lot of shows in Europe, 30 some shows... " [which puts some weight into the UK tour rumour, first posted here...]
"It's a tougher road about 'Old Guns N' Roses' here than it is in Europe for us. There's more acceptance, there is different pressed stuff, but it doesn't seem to matter at the show!"
"We'll tour here [US] in fall..."
"Who do you like better? Priest or Maiden? Old priest.. and the first maiden album!"
"Izzy might show up for the shows! We'll see... but Izzy does what Izzy does. You think 'Hey we're gonna go over here to this record store' ... the next day you find out he's in Trinidad! Or he's... "no, I had to go to the desert and do donuts!"
Axl about the "It's So Easy" Video... "the messed up part of that was, you know Earl... this big huge black guy... [bodyguard], we went to the pleasure store to buy the bondage gear for the video.. but, the guys behind the counter just see me with the huge giant black guy... and they're looking at me and go... "Yea, you're one of us! You're cool!"
