INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTION


Kurt Loader Interviews Axl
after the performance

Kurt: All right here we are back stage again. Axl Rose. He's back!
Axl laughs.
Kurt: What took you.. What took you so long?
Axl: Uh just trying to put this - this monstrosity together.
Kurt laughs.
Kurt: When's it... Whats gonna happen now? Is Chinese Democracy going to come out? Are we going to see it soon?
Axl: You'll see it. I don't know if soon's the word. But it will come out and we will... We'll go back, we'll do some more recording... And then we'll start an American leg of the tour... And see how it goes from there.
Kurt: This is taking a long time....
Axl: Yeah, but...
Kurt: A long time...
Axl: It's also, it's also how do you rebuild something that got so big and replace virtually every person on the crew every single thing.
Kurt: Yeah.
Axl: And how do you make a whole bunch of guys that are something else into something that already was. I don't know if its exactly been done like this.
Kurt: Yeah, you...
Axl: And not with the intensity of these players wanting to play the material.
Kurt: Yeah. This was one of the great performances. Congratulations. (reaches for handshake)Yeah... You really....
(shakes Axl's hand in 'congratulations')
Axl: Thanks...
Kurt: This is a great band...
Axl: Thanks for that uh....
Kurt: Awesome.
Axl: ...Rio review.
(Axl makes 'perfect/okay' sign with his fingers as he looks at camera smiling then points 'it' back to Kurt)
Aw... My pleasure, my pleasure.
Axl: Ha! (as he walks off camera)
Kurt: Axl Rose!
