I didn't get that one Brooke or I would send it to you. I did get the one for today for Bon Jovi but not GNR - hmmm - I wonder why not? I am signed up for all their alerts.

So, Rolling Stone sent me an email that the ever reclusive and notorious no show king Axl Rose and his version of G&R are going to play live in NYC in May. Tickets go on sale this weekend. So does Axl really show up and play???

It also said that the new record isn't done yet. There is a surprise.... NOT. Supposedly, there are over thirty songs and Rose is now in the process of narrowing it down. He says it sounds very different from old G&R... too bad, I was pretty fond of their music, most of it anyway.

I'm going to see Axl and his boys at the 26 of June, here in Stockholm.

I hesitate to take a chance on tickets based on recent past history - but I probably will anyway.

As always with Axl, take this with a grain of salt. I think the last line about Slash is just a cmplete lie. Anyways here it is:

NEW YORK (AP) -- Rock recluse Axl Rose made a surprise radio appearance to proclaim that Guns N' Roses' 10-years-in-the-making "Chinese Democracy" album will finally hit store shelves this fall.

The comments Saturday on Eddie Trunk's syndicated radio show marked the first interview the painfully private Rose has given since his failed 2002 comeback tour, which was abruptly scrapped midway amid riots and canceled shows.

Rose's impromptu appearance came when former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach, who was co-hosting the show, called Rose's cell phone and patched the call through the studio.

Quizzed on when the near-mythical album would come out, Rose said, "Sometime this fall or late fall." His band could be heard rehearsing in the background. "It will be out this year."

Trunk invited Rose to drop by the studio, and about an hour later he did.

Asked about the aborted 2002 comeback tour, which ended when Rose failed to appear for a gig in Philadelphia, Rose told Trunk he felt pressured into doing it before he was ready. But he insisted he has no regrets, since the short-lived tour helped the new band members to gel. (The 2002 lineup included keyboard player Dizzy Reed from the original GN'R, former Nine Inch Nails guitarist Robin Finck, bassist Tommy Stinson from the Replacements, guitar shredder Buckethead, drummer Brian "Brain" Mantia formerly of Primus, guitarist Richard Fortus from the former Psychedelic Furs and Love Spit Love, and keyboard player Chris Pittman.)

"Can you tell people why the tour ended at that point?" asked Trunk.

"Umm, no, not exactly," said Rose, declining to discuss it.

Plans are currently in the works for Rose to relaunch his comeback by playing four shows at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom over the next 10 days, then head to Europe to play several music festivals. The first Hammerstein show is May 12.

Rose said the band at the Hammerstein shows will be similar to the one that played the 2002 tour, except for a new lead guitarist, whom he declined to identify except to say it's not an old GN'R member. Buckethead left the band in 2004.

However, later in the broadcast, Rose seemed to contradict himself when he said he's been hobnobbing with former GN'R guitarist and songwriter Izzy Stradlin, and strongly hinted that Stradlin may show up for the Hammerstein shows.

Former GN'R guitar maestro Slash may end up back in the band as well, but probably not before the Hammerstein shows.

Gn´R played first show in New York last night, and it ain´t Slash who´s playing guitar. New guitarist is called Bumblefoot. Where the hell does Axl find these guys with stupid names? First Buckethead and now Bumblefoot. Apparently Axl sounded great.

I wonder if he actually is going to go by that name, seeing that his solo career is gone. Bumblefoot is the name of the rap/alternative group he was in there locally in New York. His actual name is Ron Thal.
