W sumie to przez kilka ostatnich dni nie wydarzyło się za bardzo nic nowego. Chciałabym wreszcie napisać, że oto mam przed sobą nowe aktualne zdjęcie Axla, ale niestety. Co prawda parę dni temu mieliśmy na jednym z forów GN'R dyskusję "Axl to, czy nie Axl", ktoś pokazał zdjęcie zrobione podczas pokazu filmu Johna Travolty i siedziała w tym kinie jakaś postać w ciemnych okularach - były osoby, które stwierdziły, że to może być/ lub, że nawet to jest Axl. Ja natomiast jako specjalistka, uznałam jednoznacznie, że osoba z tego kina to... jakaś kobieta . W każdym razie cokolwiek to było, lub ktokolwiek to był - NIE BYŁ TO AXL. Axl albo tak się zmienił przez te ostatnie dwa lata, że nawet paparazzi nie mogą go rozpoznać i zrobić mu zdjęcia. Albo dzień i noc pracuje nad nową płytą i z domu nie wychodzi... (hehe chciałabym), albo.... w sumie to już nie mam innych pomysłów. Mam tylko nadzieję, że żyje i zdrowy jest (no i że nie je za wiele, bo ostatnio tzn. 2 - 3 lata temu, to już mu ten tłuszczyk bokami wychodził). Fani MJ nawet nie wiedzą jak mają fajnie, że mogą sobie Michaela co dzień oglądać. Fani Axla Rose nie widzieli swojego idola ponad dwa lata na oczy!!! Wyobrażacie sobie, że przez dwa lata nie widzielibyście ani razu MJ'a, ani nie mielibyście od niego żadnych wiadomości, nawet takiej czy żyje? My biedni gunnersi właśnie tak mamy .
Jedyne też co mamy, to stare zdjęcia Axla, jak np. ta prehistoryczna fotka




NEWS 2
W sierpniu ma zostać otwarta wystawa fotografa Rossa Halfina, na której mają się pojawić między innymi zdjęcia Guns N' Roses. (Oczywiście zdjęcia GN'R sprzed kilku lat, tak przynajmniej mi się wydaje. No bo chyba nie nowe..., to jasne).

Steven Adler (były perkusista GN'R, wylany z zespołu w 1990 r. za narkotyki - to tak dla przypomnienia. Heh kto czyta moją forumową "Historię GN'R" - ten go już na pewno dobrze zna ), tak więc... Steven ostatnio bardzo często wypowiada się na temat Guns N' Roses.
Parę dni temu udzielił kolejnego wywiadu, może dam fragmencik

* Hairball John: Steven, in your opinion, do you think we will ever see "Chinese Democracy", Axl Rose's new version of GUNS N' ROSES, hit the streets?
** Steven Adler: "If you do, God bless Axl. That's all I can say, is God bless him. I think he should get his head out of his ass, and I think we should put the band back together because that's what the fans want. I know Izzy and Slash and Duff would totally do it. It's just a matter of Axl. You know, I hope he puts this record out and it does what he wants it to do and I hope he lives happily ever after, the jackass! No, I'm kidding."

Ogólnie chodzi o to, że Steven zapytany czy jego zdaniem zobaczymy kiedyś płytę "Chinese Democracy" i nową wersję zespołu Guns N' Roses, odpowiedział, że jeśli tak się stanie, to wszystko co może powiedzieć to "niech Bóg błogosławi Axla". Dodał też, że Axl powinien wyjąć głowę z dupy i pomyśleć o tym, że powinniśmy (tzn. oni powinni - przyp. mój ) zestawić zespół razem. Mówi, że wie iż fani chcą aby stary zespół powrócił i że on też uważa że mogliby się połączyć. Twierdzi, że Izzy, Slash i Duff zrobiliby to bez gadania. To tylko kwestia zachowania Axl'a... Jeśli chodzi o płytę to powiedział że nie sądzi żeby Axl chciał tak po prostu to wszystko rzucić...

Ale to co Steven mówi to oczywiście żarty, albo raczej ironia. Oczywistym jest przecież, że Slash i Duff nigdy do GN'R nie wrócą. Jedyną rzeczą, którą powiedział i która jest prawdą to taka, że fani chcialiby żeby tak się stało, żeby zespół GN'R miał taki sam skład jak 15 lat temu. Ale to jest zbyt piękne by mogło być prawdziwe,...i niestety tak się nigdy nie stanie

I znowu prehistoria (Steven to ten po prawej)

HISTORIA GUNS N' ROSES ROZDZIAŁ XVII
6 lipca 1992 (Paris, France) - WYWIAD ZE SLASHEM część 1 / 2

Ja wiem, że ja w sumie powinnam się uczyć i wiem, że za parę dni rozpoczyna się moja ukochana sesja i wiem, że pytań na temat Historii Guns N' Roses tam nie znajdę. Ale z drugiej strony ileż można się w kółko uczyć tego samego, tzn. u t r w a l a ć sobie. Moje życie jest w ostatnich dniach "bardzo" urozmaicone. Jak jeszcze nigdy dotąd. Uczelnia (powiedzmy też, że nauka ) - dom /kolegi/ - ekhm... - forum (a na nim moje Guns N' Roses'owe Królestwo). Ale ten tryb życia za parę dni na szczęście się skończy no i wróci różnorodność, i tournee po krakowskich knajpach, a później VelvetRevolverowe tournee i ja.... No i Slash.... I wywiad (teraz).... po angielsku... zresztą wszystkich zawsze udziela po angielsku Ale dziś wyjątkowo, pierwszy raz... nie chce mi się tłumaczyć z englisza i napiszę ten wywiad w jego ojczystym języku, całe szczęście na piśmie, a nie audio (chociaż w oryginalności jest on audio)... dzięki temu jest szansa, że coś zrozumiecie,... no bo wiecie jak Slash gada. Are You Ready?

Slash i Steven Tyler (6 lipca '92. W dniu, w którym udzielał tego wywiadu)


You mentioned that all the people that you're doing sessions with, everybody from Stevie Wonder coming up and Michael Jackson...
SLASH: The Simpsons.

And the Simpsons right. [laughs]
SLASH: Where the hell did that come from [laughs].

I think it was the married-with-children connection… I know what it was, your on the Spinal Tap record and they were on the Simpsons.
SLASH: That's the most Spinal Tappish itself. Ok, I can understand that.

There's like some real loose thread there. When somebody calls you up and says, "Come down and play."
SLASH: Very rarely does anybody call me and says, "Come down and play!" It's usually some sort of relationship I have with somebody. Most of these people I know, that I've played with. There's been, like the Michael Jackson thing, that was the one phone call and everything else it's just people I know, or I've come in contact with. You know, like we go and have a beer and then jam some day, It'll be on tape [laughs].

What was the jazz festival like, with Carole King?
SLASH: That was fun. A hell of a lot of fun. A very different crowd. I've never played, I swear to God, it looked like springbreak. Everybody had like fluorescent orange and pink and blue caps on, shorts. It was wild. I've never played in front of a crowd like that. The crowd was really responsive and I went up and played three songs. And of them was the one I recorded with her and "Chains," which is an old song, and "Locomotion" with Aaron Neville singing. So I was like: "Wow." I was up there with no shoes, no shirt, leather pants, sunglasses. Like: "It's summertime, we're in New Orleans." It was fun. I didn't rehearse anything. Just went up there and winged it, as they say.

With Aaron Neville. What and inspiring voice.
SLASH: Oh God, it was amazing.

--- now follows a one-and-a-half-minute long segment in the interview where Slash and the interviewer jokes around, and it is really hard to hear what they are saying, so I've cut that out. But they don't say anything important ---

No to jedziemy dalej...

I was listening to the banjo open on... I guess "Breakdown"
SLASH: "Breakdown," yeah.

Did you have to learn things...
SLASH: I just had this idea that it should sound like that, so I tuned it like a guitar [laughs]. I don't know how to play banjo, are you kidding? I was in bed, sitting there trying to figure it out.

So it worked.
SLASH: Yeah.

How do the arrangements come together? 'Cause there's so many really interesting...
SLASH: Oh God. Every single song has a different story, from the most, like, really quickly written, simple arrangement, to songs that took forever to write, because our attention as band are pretty short., just like the average kid, I suppose. Like "November Rain" took forever just to get it into a certain however many minute format. I mean, it was like 20 minutes long when we first started playing it, and rehearsing it. And this was like more then two or three years ago. And we hadn't much time to get it together 'cause we were on the road. So, that one, finally we...just focused on it and made it to what it is. Like "Coma," I just wrote all the music from one end to the other. I don't know how, it was just the way I heard it... that arrangement. Axl adapted the lyrics to that. "Locomotive," which is a long... I'm thinking about the long ones. That was something that was, in order to fit the lyrics in, we take a little time out of here and time out of there to make the lyrics fit. "Your Could Be Mine." We wrote that during "Appetite..." and the arrangement never changed really. They're all different and it's hard to pin-point anyone particular scenario for an arrangement.

It's a hard process?
SLASH: When it gets real hard, you don't wanna deal with it, 'cause you've burned out on it. If you hear something and it's inspiring, you go like: "Wait, wait. Ok, I know" and you hear it. That's one thing. But if you sit there and you like, drum it out over and over again, and it keeps getting to the same spot and you're not going anywhere, just let it along, 'cause it'll make you crazy and it wont make you wanna get involved with doing the song again later on.

Do you do "Coma" live?
SLASH: Yeah. We don't do it that often. We just played it in Japan recently. It was really cool. It just comes out every so often.

It's such a powerful song.
SLASH: We've opened with it a couple of times. [laughs] What the hell?

Wow.
SLASH: "We're in a bad mood today, let's open with 'Coma.' "

When you're in a real good mood, what do you open with?
SLASH: "Jungle" or "Nightrain."

As the show is going along, and things change, do the setlist get thrown out of the window?
SLASH: We haven't had one. We haven't used a setlist in the last year.

So, who decides?
SLASH: After we've played one song and everything blacks out, we go: "What do you wanna do?" "I'm not ready for that." "Well, let's do this." "Ok, ok." Switch guitars and stuff for the following tune that we all decided on. Then after that song's over, we go back: "What do you wanna do?" "Should we do this now?" "Should we do that now?" It's really spontaneous.

What a nice refreshing thought.
SLASH: Well, it's great when it works. But, when it doesn't work, it's equally bad, you know.

So it doesn't work when you can't decide?
SLASH: You can't decide, or you might throw in an odd one that we haven't played in a while, and maybe everyone not knows it.

Or everybody thinks they know it. And it changes a bit, which still makes it good.
SLASH: If you say so. [laughs]

Is it strange to think that where you find out all these things, and people know so many things about you, is it odd to think that there are just, like millions of kids out there that know, I bet they know you have snakes, or know who you are?
SLASH: The whole thing's been really weird. I mean, I had like… When it starts to hit you on a personal level, you know, when it starts to come out, then all of a sudden, reality of you don't have any real privacy, and all that. That's strange realization to have to try and grasp. I don't complain about it too much. I've been complaining about it a lot lately because it's really just hit me recently. Like in the last couple of months. Where the band's been big for a long time, but I just never put myself in that... saw myself in that light. As being any kind of, you know, pseudo-celebrity type. And so this just really hit me in the face recently. It was sort of a chock, because it hit me really hard. It was just like: "Fuck, I can't really do this, I can't go there." You have to think about what you're doing when you walk out the door. That kinda shit.

Did something happen?
SLASH: Just a bunch of shit that all happened at once.

And it made you realize...
SLASH: It's always when you've been on the road for a while and you come home and you don't think that's anything's different, and you find out that it really is. I mean, you don't walk around the streets going: "Somebody's looking at me." So, when you find out that you're walking down the street, not thinking that people are calling other people and saying where you were. I mean, that's like a morbid fucking situation to be in. And like I said, I don't usually complain about it, because, you know, everything I've been through has been a small price to pay for what I get away with, you know. But then to find that I don't really get away with anything. [laughs] That's what pissed me off. [laughs]

Do you read any of the thousands of articles or reviews...
SLASH: I don't read anything. Why? Why bother?

Are you aware of the image, what people think of... I mean, you're definitely a band that does everything their own way and... I mean, does the whole thing seem like: "Yeah, part of it's right, but it's..."
SLASH: Well, you know, certain things come out, people makes you aware of certain articles or, I go to get some cigarettes. You know, from a newsstand, and I see a cover with my face on, and go "ok." Then you feel like a real idiot, 'cause the guy selling you the cigarettes is looking at you looking at yourself in a magazine. I mean, he knew who you were when you were walking up there to get the cigarettes. Which you try and walk in like you're just anybody. And you'll flip through it. But I've never do anything but look at the pictures. [laughs] I mean, who's got time to sit there and read like a page of garbage, on some band, you know. The Guitar Player ones I'll read. That's it. Axl's Rolling Stone cover, because I knew what a big deal that was. That was something I read. Every so often that you have a series article that you do... an interview that you do that you vent out a lot of stuff, personal stuff. So you gonna see how that come out. But for the most part, no, I don't read anything.

What did you think of the Rolling Stone cover story?
SLASH: Axl's?

Yeah.
SLASH: I was just glad he got it off his chest. He had a lot going on and... I mean, to do it in Rolling Stone... I think he really needed that Rolling Stone has. Which is a hell of lot of people, a lot of different... sides of the spectrum, as far as people go. It was great for him to do that, because people really misunderstand him. So it's cool. For me, I could say anything. [laughs] I mean, it's a different kind of scene. I mean, I don't usually get that serious, you know, regardless of how serious things are. It's hard for me to sit down that long and share it with anybody else.

--- now follows a 10 second long segment in the interview where Slash and the interviewer jokes around, and it is really hard to hear what they are saying, so I've cut that out. But they don't say anything important ---

Ale śliczna tęcza dziś wieczorem u mnie była, bo wcześniej trochę popadało. No, ok... to dorzucę 'resztę' Slash'a. C.d. tego co w poprzednim poście

*********************************************

od lewej (blondi) Duff, Slash, Steven Tyler


SLASH: I was actually going to mention this guy I was hanging out with in the bar today, who was just hilarious. He's an Irish guy. I forgot to mention him. I told him to listen to the radio. He's probably pissed.

We'll put him in. Is he a new friend?
SLASH: Yeah, his name is Mike. He's a musician and plays, like wind instruments in sort of a off the wall orchestra, form of type thing, for plays and movie soundtracks and all that stuff. I sat there and listened to some of his stories that, in their own way, were, like, amazingly similar to mine. Anyway, but he's an Irish guy. He get up and physically makes his jokes and stuff. He's hilarious.

I was amazed that you've never played Paris before.
SLASH: I was amazed that we've never played Paris before.

How'd that happen?
SLASH: I don't know. We just kept going back to Texas. That's all I can remember. Like, Texas. Texas is great. But there's all these places that we haven't played. I actually wanted to play Hawaii. 'Cause we've never played there. It's a lot of places that we haven't been to. Now that we're headlining, we actually have control about where we play. So there was a lot of speculating about where we were gonna go that we hadn't been before, and we just played Oklahoma. The option was Oklahoma or Texas. I was like: "Why would we go back to Texas?" We've never been to Oklahoma. Which turned out to be a really good gig. I guess you have to pay attention to that stuff, 'cause you can fall into a pattern and just go around in a circle.

I think of you as one of the touringest band...
SLASH: Somehow that seems funny. [laughs] I was watching MTV, like, I think it was yesterday. I was flipping through channels, because I'm not part of the MTV on-ins, and flipping through channels, and I see my face on TV and in side of this news thing that they were doing. They go: "Band on this marathon tour." I was like: "Marathon tour?" OK, well we're gonna go out for two years. But, we're gonna stop home for six months. [laughs] I mean, some bands just tour every single day, for a really long period of time. We go out in these big chunks and we come home for a couple of weeks and go back out. You know, come home for a month and go back out, you know.

Makes it easier to deal with...
SLASH: Well, you start to loose perspective. Because, like I said, since we don't do the same show every night and because every show is really seriously hear-felt, we don't go on and fake it. We just go up there and go through the motions. Every gig is like emotionally and physically straying, you know. So, you have to keep that motivation together. So you stop for a little bit and then turn around and go back on and keep it all fresh, and when it starts to get old, stop a little bit and...

When you get off the stage, do you have to go out and...
SLASH: No. See, that's my problem. We're all individuals. Everybody has their own way of dealing with it. Mine happens to be like, as soon as we get off, I have to keep the pace up, or it drives me crazy. I think I'm addicted to it, more or less. It's like a drug for me. 'Cause I'm really depressed when I realize that I'm not going anywhere. Whereas some of the guys really like to come home and just hang out and quiet down for a while. So it's an individual thing.

You're gone. [laughs]
SLASH: I've been gone. [laughs]

Been gone for all these years.
SLASH: Yeah.



Before you went in to do the two albums, did you always knew it was gonna turn into two?
SLASH: That was on of the these things that we we're gonna do that certain amount of material. And that was just the way that we were gonna do it. And it was a matter of trying to figure out a system... We didn't wanna put out a double record. Like, Guns N' Roses second album is like 50 dollars. [laughs] Like: "Who the fuck do we think we are?" So, that was my little thing, we do one with one color cover and another color on one. And you can pick and choose.

Does it seem like one record to you? Or does it seem like two real different
SLASH: To tell you the truth, I don't even think about it. We set up the order of the songs for each one and just said: "OK."

Go for it.
SLASH: I think we had the whole band write up their personal list of what they thought the order would be and then we all came together with one, were we sort of put them together and came up with one.

Did it vary much at the beginning?
SLASH: Oh yeah. Kidding? [laughs] It's funny now when I think of that.

Like, they had nothing in common. There's no rhyme or reason here.
SLASH: Somehow we came up with a master list.

When everybody's together in the band, is someone in charge of thing's moving along?
SLASH: We all have our own particular little things that we do. You know, that we do best. Like, on a creative level, having to do what the band is doing, it's really between Duff and Axl and I. Because none of the other guys are actually original. Although Matt's come in and we sit down and listen to what he has to say about stuff. You know, Axl has his thing and I more or less like, the day-to-day stuff because I'm always there. Like: "Give me something to do!" So I get into that. Duff has his thing and we just fall into it naturally so there's not a lot of debating as to who does what.

You like to keep your hands in everything that's going on.
SLASH: Hands, feet. [laughs]

All body parts just thrown in and making contact at all time. When the various personnel changes happened, was it easy to adjust to the new members, or?
SLASH: Well, we were lucky. I mean, for all the so-called hardships that we've been through and obstacles that have been thrown at us, that we had to bury to get us through, we were lucky in the sense that the biggest obstacles that we had to deal with were trying to find someone to fit into the band. And then, both happened really quickly. So it was just another obstacle thrown our way and that's a big test that we have to deal with on a constant basis. We don't know why and it's really screwed and we wine all the time and when the line-up changes happened it was like: "Oh great." You know, and the new members, Matt and Gilby came really quickly and fit in really well and it was really natural. I was like: "Ok, I'm gonna take that for granted."

Does it seems sometimes that things are getting thrown at you?
SLASH: Oh, constantly. I mean, to the point where every time my phone rings, my heart starts beating. It's like, all depends on the tone of the voice on the other end. Like: "What's wrong?" 'Cause I'm totally gun-shy anyway. Like: "What? What you're gonna tell me? Is it bad?" I mean, it's constant.

Like somebody says something and you say: "What's wrong?"
SLASH: Yeah.

Not: "What's right?"
SLASH: Yeah. I mean, I'm a total optimist but to answer the phone and go: "What's right?" is not my first reaction. [laughs]

Wojciech MANN dziś o Gunsach w Gazecie Wyborczej

(tekst Wojciech Mann - jedynie tekst pisany kursywą w tym poście - jest mojego autorstwa )

W 1987 roku ukazał się album "Appetite for Destruction" nagrany przez amerykański zespół Guns N'Roses. Ci, którzy myśleli, że to jeszcze jedna grupa ufryzowanych przebierańców produkujących głośną prywatkową muzykę udającą rockowe granie, poważnie się pomylili. GN'R byli tacy, jaki powinien być rock and roll. [That's Right! - przyp. SUNrise] Piosenka Welcome to the Jungle wyraźnie wskazywała na to, w jakim środowisku zespół się porusza i jak opisuje wielkomiejską dżunglę Los Angeles. Pod pocztówkowo-palmową powierzchnią pulsuje zgoła nieturystyczne życie.

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE - WITAMY W DŻUNGLI (tłum. Wojciech Mann)

Welcome to the jungle we've got fun and games
Witamy w dżungli, mamy tu gry i zabawy
We got everything you want honey, we know the names
Mamy wszystko, czego zechcesz, kochanie, wiemy, co jest co
We are the people that can find whatever you may need
My ci wyszukamy, czegokolwiek zapragniesz
If you got your money honey we got your disease
Jeśli masz pieniądze, zaspokoisz żądze(1)
In the jungle, welcome to the jungle
W dżungli, witamy w dżungli
Watch it bring you to your knees
Patrz, jak cię rzuca na kolana
I wanna watch you bleed
Chcę widzieć twoją krew [Chcę patrzeć jak krwawisz - tak chyba brzmi lepiej - przyp. SUNrise]
Welcome to the jungle we take it day by day
Witamy w dżungli, my tu żyjemy z dnia na dzień
If you want it you're gonna bleed but it's the price to pay
Jeśli też tak chcesz, zapłacisz krwią, ale taka jest cena
And you're a very sexy girl that's very hard to please
Jesteś seksowną panienką, której trudno dogodzić
You can taste the bright lights but you won't get there for free
Możesz posmakować świateł wielkiego miasta, ale nie za darmo
In the jungle welcome to the jungle
W dżungli, witamy w dżungli
Feel my, my serpentine(2)
Poczuj moją serpentynę
Oh, I wanna hear you scream
Chcę usłyszeć twój krzyk
Welcome to the jungle it gets worse here every day
Witamy w dżungli, jest tu z każdym dniem gorzej,
You learn to live like an animal in the jungle where we play
Uczysz się żyć jak zwierzę w tej dżungli naszych zabaw
If you hunger for what you see you'll take it eventually
Jeśli pragniesz tego, co widzisz, w końcu to dostaniesz,
You can have everything you want but you better not take it from me
Możesz mieć wszystko, co zechcesz, ale lepiej nie bierz tego ode mnie(3)
And when you’re high you never wanna come down
I jak będziesz w górze, to nie zechcesz już nigdy zejść w dół,
So down, so down, so down...
W dół, w dół, w dół...(4)
You know where you are?
Czy wiesz, gdzie jesteś?
You're in the jungle baby... you're gonna die
Jesteś w dżungli, mała...i umrzesz
In the jungle
W dżungli.

***********************
I KOMENTARZE MANN'a ODNOŚNIE TEJ PIOSENKI
1. Zachcialo mi się rymu, stąd (przyznaję, niezbyt wyszukany) rym żądze-pieniądze. W oryginale mamy zapewnienie, że za odpowiednią kasę dżungla zapewni odpowiednią zarazę (Kasa -zaraza- może to by nawet było lepsze, ale już za późno).

2. Sprawa serpentyny jest niezbyt jasna. Być może kryje się tu jakieś ciekawe poetyckie porównanie. Serpentyna jest czymś dość długim i krętym, więc może chodzi na przykład o węża? Dlaczego jednak seksowna panienka miałaby ruszać węża? A potem jeszcze krzyczeć? Może ona jest miłośniczką gadów (Reptilia) i wtedy krzyczy? [ Mann jesteś boski, uśmiałam się z tego komentarza jak nigdy w życiu - przy. SUNrise] Who knows?
[To jest najlepsze, buhahaaa. Nie wiem czy Mann jest wstydliwy, czy też serio nie załapał o co z tym wężem i serpentyną w tej piosence chodzi. Bo chyba jasne co facet może chcieć pokazać kobiecie chcąc żeby to poczuła. Ale myślę, że dobrze wiedział, tylko nie pasowało mu w Wyborczej wyskoczyć z tym tekstem. Ok. no comment - SUNrise]

3. Coś na kształt refleksji u narratora. Chce się uchylić od odpowiedzialności, bo wie, że z nim nie wszystko jest w porządku. To ładny gest. [ - nooo - przyp. SUNrise]

4. Tu raczej nie chodzi o takie uniesienie, a następnie opadanie jak na huśtawce albo diabelskim młynie. Choć ta druga nazwa dziwnie pasuje.

Tak dla przypomnienia, bo sama o tym jakoś zapomniałam... i dopiero dziś mnie oświecono. Dwa dni temu - 6 czerwca zespół Guns N' Roses świętował dwudziestolecie swojego istnienia.
Dla przypomnienia zespół w składzie: Axl Rose, Slash, Duff McKagan, Izzy Stradlin i Steven Adler sfinalizowali swój skład 6 czerwca 1985 roku. To ja przede wszystkim dziękuję im za te 20 lat i życzę kolejnych... conajmniej 200. Dużo inwencji twórczej tak starym Gunsom jak i nowym. A sobie i Axlowi życzę szybkiego wydania "Chinese Democracy" i wielkiego come backu GN'R (a zwłaszcza Roses)

HISTORIA GUNS N' ROSES ROZDZIAŁ XVIII
Axl Rose - Kurt Cobain

Kurt Cobain ............................... /...................... Axl Rose


Mam ochotę popsuć sobie trochę humor...
Coś mało przyjemnego, ale skoro się wydarzyło... a ja jestem od tego żeby przedstawiać Gunsów takimi jakimi byli / są bez żadnego koloryzowania czy wręcz przeciwnie wybielania.

O tym, że Axl lubił kiedyś Nirvanę to już tu chyba raz wspominałam. Lubił na tyle, ze w 1992 r. zaproponował Cobainowi aby on i jego zespół supportowali GN'R na trasie. Świętej pamięci Cobain odrzucił tę propozycję, no i wówczas ... każdy kto chociaż trochę zna Axla i jego temperament może się łatwo domyślić co było dalej. Axl jest strasznie impulsywny (niestety zazwyzcaj najpierw mówi, później myśli) i nikt na to raczej nic nie poradzi, jego choroba i charakter robią swoje. Axl wkurzył się więc bardzo i między tymi dwoma panami rozpoczęła się istna walka. Każdy z nich twierdził, że racja leży wyłącznie po jego stronie...

Poniżej zacytuję fragment książki (wydanej o ile się nie mylę w 1992 r.), Michael'a Azzerad'a "Bądź jaki bądź - Historia NIRVANY" mówiący o konflikcie Axl'a z Kurt'em (czyli ogólnie mówiąc Guns N' Roses z Nirvaną).

Moim zdaniem, chociaż (od zawsze) staram się być w tej sprawie obiektywna i Cobaina staram się szanować, to uważam, że ta książka (i jego wypowiedzi pod adresem Axla i Guns N' Roses) to kupa bredni i kłamstw. No niestety... jeśli ktoś nie ma wystarczająco dużo talentu by wejść na szczyt dzięki niemu, to szuka innych okazji by w taki czy inny sposób stać się bardziej popularnym. W tym przypadku tą "okazją" był dla Cobaina zespół GN'R.


"Bądź jaki bądź - Historia NIRVANY" fragmenty

* W Stanach przybierała na sile nirvanomania. Album (Nevermind) wspinał się skokowo na coraz wyższe pozycje listy Billboardu. Z miejsca 35 przeszedł na 17, a potem na 9 (Top 10!) i 4. ... Ludzie rzucali się do sklepów, żeby kupować plytę, krytycy debatowali o głębi i niejasności tekstów Cobain'a, scena alternatywna otwarcie mówiła o podziemnej rewolucji, w MTV nadawano "Teen Spirit" bez przerwy , a w Seatlle wszyscy rozmawiali o sukcesie zespołu, a każdy, kto choć odrobinę interesował się rock'iem zastanawiał się co to wszystko znaczy.
Kurt nie potrafił się przyznać, że jest twórcą tego całego zamieszania. Nie pozwalałem mojemu ego na radosne stwierdzenie, że jesteśmy tacy wielcy, że zasługujemy na aż taką uwagę - mówił. Oczywiście jednocześnie wiedziałem, że to, co robiliśmy jest - z komercyjnego punktu widzenia - lepsze niż 99 procent produkcji. Wiedziałem, że byliśmy tysiąc razy lepsi od jebanych GUNS N' ROSES czy Whitesnake i całego tego gówna. [sorry, ale jego "skromność" jest powalająca jak widać - przyp. SUNrise]

** Kurt podczas Gali MTV.
W pewnym momencie pojawił się Axl Rose. Pierwsza zuważyła go Courtney [żona Kurta - przyp. SUNrise], która zajmowała się akurat córką. Axl! Axl! - krzyknęła. Zostań ojcem chrzestnym naszego dziecka!. Otoczony przez grupkę goryli Rose poczerwiniał na pokrytej grubą warstwą makijażu twarzy i wskazując palcem na Kurta zapiszczał: "Powiedz swojej suce, żeby się zamknęła, albo wyjdziemy i porozmawiamy na zewnątrz". Ekipa Nirvany wybuchnęła głośnym śmiechem. Jedynie Kurt zachował powagę i wstał, jakby miał zamiar zmierzyć się z Axl'em. Przedtem jednak spiorunował Courtney wzrokiem i powiedział: "Zamknij się ździro!" Wszyscy tarzali się ze śmiechu. Niezręczną sytuację próbowała rozładować ówczesna dziewczyna Axl'a Stephanie Seymour, która zwróciła się do Courtney z pytaniem:
- Jesteś modelką?
- Nie - odrzekła Courtney. - Ale słyszałam, że ty zajmujesz się neurochirurgią.

Gdy Nirvana wracała do przeznaczonej dla niej przyczepy, na zewnątrz czekała już wspaniała ekipa Gunnersów, składająca się z prawdziwych gór mięsa. Kurt pobiegł do przyczepy, żeby sprawdzić czy nikt nie skrzywdził Frances [jego córeczki -przyp. SUNrise], a w tym samym czasie Gunnersi otoczyli Chrisa. Zaczęli go popychać. Przewodniczył w tym basista Guns N' Roses Duff McKagan, który chciał osobiście obić Chrisowi mordę, ale wokół zaczął gromadzić sie tłum i wojowniczy muzycy chwilowo ochłonęli (Guns N' Roses odmówili komentarza na temat tego incydentu).

*** Axl mógł czuć się urażony odmowa jaką usłyszał od Nirvany, gdy zaproponował jej wspólną trasę z Gunnersami i Metalliką. Co więcej , Nirvana miała czelność odrzucić jego zaproszenie do uświetnienia swoim występem jego 30 urodzin. W grę wchodziła również ogromna, tłumiona zazdrość. Kurt i Axl wywodzili się z podobnych środowisk i zwracali do podobnej publiczności, ale Kurt był wszystkim czym nie jest Rose - utalentowanym wokalistą, niezrównanym kompozytorem, wspaniałym poetą i wrażliwym człowiekiem. [Taaak a świstak siedzi i zawija - przyp. SUNrise]

Nirvana i Guns N' Roses byli często porównywani ze sobą. "New Musical Express" napisał kiedyś, że Nirvana jest "Takim Guns n' Roses, które można lubić" Rose był wielkim fanem Nirvany (w wideoklipie do "Don't Cry" wystąpił nawet w czapeczce z nazwą zespołu), ale niczego z niej nie rozumiał. Przed wielkim koncertem Guns N' Roses w Madison Square Garden w 1991 operator kamery (z której sygnał transmitowany był na wielkie monitory stojące wokół sceny) wyszukiwał wśród publiczności ładne dziewczyny, które widząc się na ekranie zaczęły zadzierać koszule. Męska część publiczności urządziła im prawdziwą owację. Z głośników płynęły wówczas mocne akordy "Teen Spirit". W istocie wrogość między zespołami wynikała prawdopodobnie z ich współzawodnictwa o tę samą , ogromną publiczność, na którą składały się sfrustrowane, pokręcone psychicznie dzieciaki. Z nimi nie współzawodniczę - mówił Kurt. Mówiłem to publicznie wiele razy, ale powtórzę raz jeszcze mam w dupie publiczność Axl'a. Ale Kurt i Axl pałali do siebie niemal braterską nienawiścią, jakby stanwili dwie strony tego samego wizerunku. Fakt pochodzimy z podobnych środowisk - wspominał Kurt. Pochodzimy z małych miasteczek, w których otaczał nas seksizm i rasizm. Ale nasza walka wewnętrzna jest zupełnie inna. Uważam, że otworzyłem się na mnóstwo spraw, o których on nie ma najmniejszego pojęcia. Rola, w której występuje Axl, odgrywana jest od lat - kontynuował Kurt. Odkąd powstał rock n' roll zawsze był jakiś Axl Rose. Stało się to koszmarnie nudne, przynajmniej dla mnie. W jego oczach wyglada to świeżo i nowo, ale tylko dlatego, że przeżywa to osobiście i jest przy tym takim egoistą, że wydaje mu się, że świat powinien padać przed nim na kolana.
Mimo to Kurt przyznawał, że Nirvana mogłaby się nauczyć tego i owego od Guns N' Roses. Pierdolą wiele rzeczy, ale potem siadają razem, patrzą na to co spierdolili i zastanawiają się jak to naprawić - mówił. My natomiast jak już coś spierdolimy , to przyzwyczajamy się do tego i pogarszamy sytuację.

AXL


I tym akcentem lepiej zakończę tę część historii, bo nie mam nerwów, żeby o Cobainie dalej pisać. Jak ktoś chce więcej to niech sobie poczyta tę hmmm... książkę [chociaż szczerze odradzam].

HISTORIA GUNS N' ROSES ROZDZIAŁ XIX
Rok 1992 - podsumowanie

Strasznie mi się rozjechał ten rok. Piszę o nim i piszę już od nie pamiętam jak dawna. Przy okazji chyba się nieco rozleniwiłam. Ale myślę, że wszystko co najważniejsze, zostało już tu napisane. Trzeba sobie poklikać ileś tam stron wstecz i tam wszystko jest. Więc tym razem szczegółowych podsumowań robić nie będę. Rok 1992 GN'R spędzili przede wszystkim na światowej trasie koncertowej: Tournee po obu Amerykach, Europie, Japonii (szczegóły na stronach 11 - 13) Lub klikając bezpośrednio tutaj: STRONA 11, STRONA 13

2) Również w 1992 r. na dwóch kasetach VHS, został wydany zapis Tokijskich koncertów GN'R


oraz (w grudniu) dwa filmy na dwóch kasetach video o tworzeniu klipów do Don't Cry i November Rain - o tym będzie więcej przy roku 1993

HISTORIA GUNS N' ROSES ROZDZIAŁ XIX
Rok 1992 - podsumowanie

1) W październiku 1992 Geffen wydał debiutancką płytę Izzy'ego - Izzy Stradlin' And The Ju Ju Hounds. Pisałam o tym dosyć dużo na stronie nr 10. Wystarczy kliknąć TUTAJ

Mam właśnie natchnienie co do Izzyego, więc jeszcze pięć zdań ...



Jak pisałam już tam w przeszłości przy 1991 r. Izzy odszedł z GN'R. Po roku prasa sobie znowu o nim przypomniała i pisała coś w stylu "Przed niespełna rokiem wybuchła bomba: Axl Rose i Slash - wszechmocna dwójka w Guns N' Roses - wywalili z zespołu jego współzałożyciela, Izzy'ego Stradlina. Podczas światowej trasy, która wzbudziła zachwyt wszystkich fanów, na scenie towarzyszył im już inny gitarzysta - Gilby Clark."

Izzy zaś dyskretnie milczał i nie pojawiał się publicznie.
Teraz wreszcie (tzn. we wrześniu 1992) postanowił wyjść z cienia i pokazać swoim byłym kolegom z GN'R, że poradzi sobie także bez nich.
Na początek ukazał się jego mini-album zatytułowany "Pressure Drop" zawierajacy cztery piosenki. (Niestety nie mam okładki tej płyty pod ręką, więc nie mogę zaprezentować, ale kiedyś to nadrobię).

Początkiem października na dwa tygodnie przed zapowiadanym pojawieniem się solowego LP "Ju Ju Hounds" - Izzy Stradlin dał cztery koncerty w Europie.


(Okładkę "Ju Ju Hunds zaprezentować mogę). Co do samej płyty. Jest na pewno inna niż muzyka GN'R. Ale jest równie wspaniała. No i można sobie posłuchać wreszcie głosu Izzy'ego do woli. Jedna z moich ulubionych płyt.


Jzzy jeszcze jako członek Guns N' Roses miał opinię spokojnego, niekonfliktowego człowieka, którą potwierdził swoim zachowaniem po odejściu z zespołu. Nikomu nie udało się sprowokować go do skandalizujacej wypowiedzi na temat Axla czy Slasha.

Izzy zaszył się w studio by starannie przygotowywać swój comeback. W Chicago i Kopenhadze realizował własne pomysły muzyczne (np. utwory utrzymane w konwencji reggae), które przedtem konsekwentnie odrzucał Axl Rose.
Podczas tych sesji nieustannie towarzyszył mu Jimmy Ashhurst z amerykanskiej grupy Broken Homes. Europejskie koncerty Izzy'ego Stradlina (na jego własne życzenie) nie odbywały się na wielkich stadionach, lecz w małych klubach, bo jak mówi Izzy: "Tylko tam możliwy jest bezpośredni kontakt zespołu z publicznością. Jeśli występ jest do bani, ludzie mogą cię wygwizdać, opluć albo wynieść się z sali. A co mogą zrobić na stadionie? Zapłacili słono za wstęp i nie pozostaje im nic innego, jak wytrwać do końca."

A co na to jego koledzy z Guns N' Roses?
Slash: "Wprawdzie rozzłoscilo mnie, że Izzy zostawil nas na lodzie (odmówił wzięcia udziału w kręceniu clipu do Don't Cry i sprzeciwił się kierunkowi w którym poszedł zespół GN'R czyli granie koncertów na największych stadionach świata, mieszkanie w najdroższych hotelech itp - przyp. SUNrise), ale nadal uważam go za wspaniałego faceta."
Axl Rose: "Co tu dużo gadać. Jak wszyscy w tej branży niecierpliwie czekałem na pierwsze nagrania Izzy'ego."

Ww wprowadzeniu do 'Double Talkin' Jive,' Axl mówi "This is a nice and friendly little song called Double Talkin' Jive Motherfucker!" Podczas 'Wild Horses,' linijkę tekstu - 'Wild horses couldn't drag me zamienia na - 'Wild horses couldn't suck my dick!' Axl przedstawia Matt’a Soruma jako "Mr. Condom, what condom? Matt Sorum!" Podczas ‘Knockin' On Heaven's Door.' Pojawia się na scenie gość specjalny Ronnie Wood z The Rolling Stones,

notes: Cool show on Axl's 31st birthday! Duff dedicates 'Attitude' to Axl. The show is stopped for 5 minutes after 'Bad Obsession' because of power problems. The band jams on 'Train Kept A Rollin'' during 'Double Talkin' Jive. A cake is brought out after 'November Rain' in honor of Duff's (2.5.64) & Axl's (2.6.62) birthdays. After 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door,' Axl hurls his microphone into the crowd!

An acoustic set is introduced in the middle of the show, usually consisting of: You Ain't The First, You're Crazy, Used To Love Her, Patience & Knockin' On Heaven's Door. Sometimes Slash played an acoustic guitar during November Rain. Dead Flowers was added to the acoustic set during the European leg of the tour. The first live performance of 'The Garden' and probably 'Garden Of Eden.' One of the rare shows when 'Mr. Brownstone' was not played. Axl mimics himself crying before 'Double Talkin' Jive.' Slash jams on 'Communication Breakdown' at the beginning of 'Double Talkin' Jive.' Duff introduces Axl during intros, saying, "Axl Rose on gee-taw."


25 lutego 1993 - Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Center Coliseum, Birmingham, AL [USA]

encore: Estranged, Since I Don't Have You [Intro] / Paradise City
notes: 'Double Talkin' Jive' is dedicated to Lars Ulrich. Slash plays bits of 'Communication Breakdown' & 'Oh Well' at the beginning of 'Double Talkin' Jive.' Axl flips a coin to decide if there will be a guitar solo or drum solo. Obviously the guitar solo won. A few rare things during this show – 1) 'Nightrain' is played second instead of 'Mr. Brownstone,' and 2) 'Since I Don't Have You' is played as an intro to 'Paradise City,' instead of the usual 'Sweet Child O' Mine.'

notes: This was originally scheduled for 3.11.93, then postponed 1 day. A friend of the band, Tom Doyle, plays bongos on 'Used To Love Her.' At the end of 'Sweet Child O' Mine,' Axl slams down his microphone and slowly walks offstage. At the beginning of 'Paradise City,' Axl lackadaisically paces around the stage, showing no emotion. After the first few verses, he leaves the stage, leaving the rest of the band clueless! The band improvs for a bit, then Duff sings the rest of the song, starting with “Take me down, spin me round!”



13 marca 1993 - Mullins Center, UMass, Amherst, MA [USA]
opening act: Brian May Band
notes: Koncert został przełożony na 6 maja 1993

16 marca 1993 - Augusta Civic Center, Augusta, ME [USA]

notes: Security was very tight at this show and a lot of recorders were confiscated. As usual, Axl was late and the show started a few hours late. Axl does a cool rhyme intro to 'Double Talkin' Jive.' The band plays a little bit of 'Oh Well' at the start of 'Double Talkin' Jive.' After 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door,' Slash plays a bit of the Addams Family Theme. Due to a number of things - a very rowdy crowd, Duff being very drunk, and a curfew - the show ends after 'Sweet Child O' Mine.'

17 marca 1993 - Boston Garden, Boston, MA [USA]
opening act: Brian May Band
set: It's So Easy, Mr. Brownstone, Nice Boys, The Garden, Live And Let Die, Welcome To The Jungle, Attitude, Double Talkin' Jive, You Ain't The First, You're Crazy, Used To Love Her, Patience [w/ Pinball Wizard & Over The Hills And Far Away], Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Piano Solo, November Rain, Dead Horse, Drum Solo, You Could Be Mine, Guitar Solo, Since I Don't Have You [Intro] / Sweet Child O' Mine, Reckless Life, Don't Cry, Paradise City
notes: Cool St. Patrick's Day show in the Boston Garden. The show is temporarily stopped after Nice Boys because someone threw a bottle onstage. Axl goes off on WBCN, a Boston radio station, for calling his hotel room too early in the morning. Axl asks Duff how Cornshucker goes and Duff jams on the opening chords! Duff also recites the first verse! This song was performed by GN'R at the Limelight in NY on 1.31.88. Slash plays a bit of Buick Mackane during his guitar solo. Rare performance of Reckless Life.

20 marca 1993 - Carver-Hawkeye Arena, Iowa City, IA [USA]
opening act: Brian May Band
set: It's So Easy, Mr. Brownstone, The Garden, Live And Let Die, Nice Boys, So Fine, Attitude, Double Talkin' Jive, You Ain't The First, You're Crazy, Used To Love Her, Patience [w/ Pinball Wizard], Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Piano Solo, November Rain, Dead Horse, Drum Solo, You Could Be Mine, Guitar Solo, Since I Don't Have You [Intro] / Sweet Child O' Mine, Welcome To The Jungle
notes: A very rowdy crowd - before the opening act Brian May came on stage, the crowd threw all the chairs off to the side to make it general admission! This led to some huge mosh pits, especially during 'Double Talkin' Jive.' During 'So Fine,' Axl changes one of the lines to “How could I be so high?”, and then later to “How could it be I'm so high?” 'Patience' is started after 'You're Crazy' but the bands stops it and breaks into 'Used To Love Her.' Before 'Welcome To The Jungle,' Slash plays a bit of the theme to the 'Addams Family.' The show is stopped early because Axl gets hit with something, so 'Welcome To The Jungle' is the last song.

21 marca 1993 - Fargo Dome, Fargo, ND [USA]
opening act: Brian May Band
set: Welcome To The Jungle, Mr. Brownstone, Live And Let Die, The Garden, Attitude, Double Talkin' Jive, You Ain't The First, You're Crazy, Used To Love Her, Patience [w/ Pinball Wizard], Knockin' On Heaven's Door, November Rain, Dead Horse, Drum Solo, You Could Be Mine, Guitar Solo, Since I Don't Have You [Intro] / Sweet Child O' Mine, Mother [Intro] / Paradise City

Axl goes off on Izzy again. The band jams on 'Train Kept A Rollin' during 'Double Talkin' Jive.' The band brings out friend Blake Stanton onstage for a song.

notes: GN'R's last show on the UYI tour! This is also the last show with the 'old' lineup, which included Slash & Duff. This show was broadcast on Argentine TV & radio, although the TV broadcast was incomplete. A complete broadcast was later shown on Uruguayan TV. Axl speaks to the crowd via an interpreter before 'Welcome To The Jungle.' The band jams on 'Train Kept A Rollin'' during 'Double Talkin' Jive.' At times the announcers speak over songs and some songs are cut in or out. A pizza is delivered onstage after 'You're Crazy' by a friend of the band dressed in a Dominos Pizza uniform. Axl does a weird dance with the delivery guy and then throws the pizza in the crowd. The delivery guy then plays bongos on 'Used To Love Her.' Axl jams on the drums during 'Pinball Wizard.' The band jams on The Beatles' classic 'Let It Be' during Slash's guitar solo.

Na koniec dodam jeszcze tylko tyle, że ten koncert (17 lipca '93 - Argentyna) był ostatnim koncertem Guns N' Roses jaki dali wspólnie w składzie : Axl, Slash, Duff, Gilby, Matt, Dizzy. Od tego momentu już nigdy więcej nie zagrali "na żywo" razem. A co najważniejsze i najsmutniejsze to to, że Axl i Slash już nigdy nie zagrali wspólnie żadnego konceru razem.
