Re: Zakk Wylde On Axl Rose
What you see is what you get with Axl. The guy is a legend and a Black Label brother. He's the shit. I played with Guns N' Roses [in the mid-90s]. I was in Studio B and they were in Studio A. So I played Axl some of my shit, like 13 Years Of Grief. And he was like "Zakk, what fuckin' market are you trying to reach with that?" I told him "I dunno, the fuckin' farmer's market?"
So we ended up hanging and jamming together - me, Axl, Slash, Duff [McKagan], Matt [Sorum] and Dizzy [Reed]. And I was like 2Axl, when are you gonna start singing on this shit? Let's quit fuckin' around here!" And that's when Black Label Society was born because I had all these riffs hanging around, and I thought, "Fuck it, I'll do it myself." But it's not because Axl is hard to work for. It's because he cares. He had so much passion. And I'd rather have that than some douchebag who doesn't give a fuck.
What do I think of Chinese Democracy? The wife bought me a copy and it got smashed in my luggage, so I had to fuckin' buy another one. No, Axl didn't send me a copy. But he's a beautiful guy.

This is from the same issue as the Niven interview, and since I'm guessing I'm the only one who actually bought it... I typed this out.

Re: Zakk Wylde On Axl Rose
Does he answer the question then.......
The question was Axl Rose, they just mentioned a series of famous musicians and then Zakk said what he thought.

Classic shit.
I'd like to know what he thought about the album too. But Zakk is a straight shooter and tells it how he sees it. Usually in a very amusing way.

Re: Zakk Wylde On Axl Rose
Actually a few years ago Zakk told Axl to fuck off and then said Axl should get Slash back in the band.
