Re: Axl Rose: the extended interview (Adelaide Now)
To be fair, though, this:
"I apologize to anyone I've inconvenienced or put out in any way."
Is all I wanted to hear. Not a justification, or an evasion, just a straight-up apology taking responsibility for the late shows. 'Cause what annoyed me, having been through the experience of a late show, and seeing casual fans leave disgruntled, was seeing the constant stream of jokes about how he's never been punctual, ahahaha.
So, y'know, fair enough. He apologised, and I'm happy with that.
I dont buy it. At first I thought the apology was cool, then he went on to say:
"perhaps you'll find some comfort in that I'm sure I've lost tens of thousands, if not millions, more - especially in the long run."
Which rubbed me the wrong way, its like he's said "I'm sorry, but...wah wah wah poor me too".
Re: Axl Rose: the extended interview (Adelaide Now)
For what it's worth, I think Axl doesn't actually do these interviews. I think it's "Management"
I said that a while ago...it sounds like someone trying to sound like Axl. My guess is they answer all the questions and run it by him really quickly - and the only answers he might have changed were the long winded ones.

Something cool Axl said in this was that he might be open to re-mastering AFD.
I don't really want any parts added, I'd keep the original performances, but the mastering could use a spruce up with modern tech!

What would you change? I think the album is perfect.

Re: Axl Rose: the extended interview (Adelaide Now)
Well it could be over exposure to the "loudness war" in mastering talking....but basically i think the performances are perfect (please Axl no overdubs of anyone)...but the mix is a little dated (obvious stereo pan etc) and the mastering is at 80s levels...which is why it sounds quiet and sort of old compared to a modern rock album.
You could take the same performances and really liven it up sonically so the drums slammed more like a real kit...and so that it was all more immersive and sounded less like an 80s record sounds and more like it sounds when slash plays live.
