The Classic Rock Society Thread

Reports keep circulating that Guns N' Roses singer, Axl Rose, is suffering from Anthropophobia.

Basically, that means he's afraid of people.

But, insiders are saying that recently it's gotten worse. And with the release of his Chinese Democracy album you'd think Axl would be out promoting it, but that's not the case.

One source says Axl "has fired his management company, Front Line, three times in four weeks. He hasn't left his Los Angeles home in two months. He won't give interviews, won't do talk shows, or perform - which makes touring or promoting very difficult, obviously."

If that's true is pretty bad, you create the masterpeice that is Chinese Democracy ( :wink:

) and your not mentally able to promote it.

However, recentley Axl Rose went on two of the most popular GnR fan forums and answered numerous questions. I have no idea if it was actually him but it was either him or someone close to him because I think he would have had to been in touch with the admins.Transcript.
It starts off pretty weird (I still don't know how this happened) but he was there, he confirmed that a music video for Better will be coming soon, he stated that his late performances were something that he has always been like and there is no ideas for a reunion ever.

Highlight transcript from all talks.

He did it again on another forum

It is actually a pretty good idea, he has had a history with the press changing his words and with this its straight out there not having journalists tamper with it.

Nice.

Was watching a thing yesterday on (VH1? If not it was probably TMF) - supposedly ACDC's top 10 songs of all time.

But they didn't include A Whole Lotta Rosie, and I think they had You Shook Me All Night Long as No.1 :eek:

And I realized watching that just how much better Bon Scott was than Brian is :s-smilie:

Shocking, Whole Lotta Rosie is a definite top 10er, my number 1! Shook Me All Night Long is one of my favourites but not their best! Bon Scott is a hell of a lot better than Brian Johnson (apart from Back In Black which was equal and For Those About to Rock which was pretty good) on the whole!

I'm thinking of learning a little guitar, btw, some baselines... (Knocking on Heaven's Door (Clapton), D'yer M'aker, Miss You in a Heartbeat)

Looks good, will listen to it later.
