  • I'll bet 27 is the hardest year. I'm 19, and very scared about joining the 27 club or fading away. That year won't be easy.

  • I always thought he looked like Jodie Foster here!!

  • I never noticed before how sad of a look Axl has on his face and the tone in his voice when he speaks of Steven

  • Hi, this interview is very good ... but I was wondering if you can put subtitles? please ... =) thanks n_n

  • @yowcha1987 Axl Rose is an anagram of oral sex. If Axl was front man for the bay city rollers i could believe it was coincidence

  • @giggadygoogog OMG! I never knew that! :O

    'Oral Sex' = 'Axl Rose' :O

  • NO ORIGINAL LINE UP,..NO MAGIC.

  • great interview. I like how Axl talks about the background behind "Coma". He is really a strong, resilient person.

  • "Steven is.... someone I used to know"

    Ooooooh, harsh Axl. Harsh

  • @Damnumopnglow are u retarded? right after that he said "that makes me feel bad."

  • he has the coolest speaking voice I have ever heard...

  • @tw42579 Who kurt loder?

  • @tw42579 Agreed! :D

  • I like Kurt Loder but, ha ha he looks soooo gay. must be cause it's 1991 or something.

  • About Matt Sorum... 3:18: "He was a miracle. He has saved the band's life. He is a key man. He is an up mood. He works, he writes his own material. He writes a lot. He works real well with us. He takes suggestions while he keeps everybody in line, keeps the timing great" ....

    And in a special interview (a couple of years ago) he told his friend Del James that Matt Sorum's drumming put him down most of the times back in those days! ....Izzy didn't like that shift of drummers back in 1991.

  • He could be onto something when he says that 27 is the hardest year. It's the year that took Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison. He's lucky his name didn't start with J or he would have OD'd for sure. :-P

  • axl is fucking cool here

  • GG Allin and El Duce kicked ass this fag...

  • thanx for sharing!

  • His voice is so sexy:)

  • ooo soo cute and pretty guy:)!

  • go axl! he could kick kurts but any day

  • @CUTIEpieMIXY Actually Kurt ended up kicking his ass later that night...Nobody ever talks about it though. I have a vhs tape where Krist novelselic talks about it.

  • @darthvader567 pfft i doubt it.

  • @CUTIEpieMIXY ahah, axl backed down from a potential fight with kurt. yeah, he's reeeaalll tough

  • Comment removed

  • @CUTIEpieMIXY because I do love axl, i love em both, guns n roses was the most bitchin rock and roll band of the late 80's and nirvana was THE most important band of the 90's. they're both amazing.

    but as for axl having sense.... yeah, that sense served him well, drove all the other band members away and left him with this twisted mutation of guns n roses we're left with today...

  • @NineMonthMedia i suppose you are right...... but in all honesty axl was the greatest singer of the 80's and kurt had nothing on him, and yes axl's " new gnr" is total crap but i think he's a legend and kurt aswell

  • @CUTIEpieMIXY i dont see what kurt and axls fight has to do with kurts death. its like saying "man, i really dont like the new economic policy. and chocolate milk is great too" come on, are the two even related?

  • @NineMonthMedia i'm just pointing out thats kurt clearly had no sense of judgement and axl seemed to know wat he was doing, and honestly why come on to a axl video if you dont like him if your a kurt lover then watch him please dont make comments if your not into him, and i dont want a fight

  • @CUTIEpieMIXY oh hell yeah, axl's honestly one of THE best rock and roll singers i've ever heard. kurt was more into punk than rock and roll, and nirvana single handedly changed the 90's music scene. they're both legends

  • @NineMonthMedia agreed :)

  • 8:22 There's a rant about it.

  • Commentator: Rick Astley.

  • steven adler is still doing drugs now....crack cocaine etc he came to play with my friends guns and roses tribute act " uk guns and roses" because he was in europe with adlers appetite and it fell through so ended up contacting my friends tribute act and turning up in my town to practice with them....and he was drunk most of the time and smoking dope with something else in it .....this was only 2 years ago.

  • coma is my favourite song of the UYI's.... he said its 11:45 long, i wish the album version had that extra minute in it.

  • Axl is an extremely good public speaker even in his rants he's very weel spoken and smart

  • @SKITTLESQUADFTW

    Yes he's got really wide range of vocabulary. A very smart guy:-))

  • Kurt Loder is an idiot, but Axl will forever be the shit.

  • Axl Rose also got his ass beat by Kurt Cobain xD. GO KURT.

  • @wowzersintrousers > get fucked cunt, if your going to talk about Kurt Cobang, or Shitana videos. Guns N' Roses > Nirvana

  • @xDiisPiCabLEx Either way, Axl Rose got his ass kicked. By one Kurt Cobain

  • @wowzersintrousers > How did Axl Rose get his "Ass" kicked by Kurt Cobain? and by the way I saw the video where he mocks and does Axl's snake dance, you know how much of a douche Kurt looks like?

  • Axl you are so AMAZING! Awesome. 

  • "steven didnt leave the band.steven was fired!"

  • aha i love him X) he's an asshole at times, but also seems down to earth & man, he has an amazing voice ♥

  • Somewhere along the road Axl's mind or something got fucked up real bad.... In this interview he seems like a great guy and a man who thinks before he speaks... Why the hell would he keep hating Slash? Get rid of all the hate and arguments and think about all the good times... And get out there and play music again, you'll be the most awesome band once again... No hard feelings but the new album and this new stuff just isn't any good... At all.

  • is that lindsay lohan??

  • Comment removed

  • @importspeed9161981 shut the fuck up ..piece of lame ass shit!

  • song that might cause a few problems? axl i think he was talking about one in a million. haha coma =D

  • fucking bad ass and awesome voice.

  • @daliasoad No wander he was ranked 64th in Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Singers of all time.

  • the best singer !

  • I remember watching this when it premired on MTV.

  • his voice is so sexy.

  • LINDOOO! t amo

  • haha! look at steven sayin "Fuck off" when axl talks about him hahahaha

  • I could listen to him talk all day :-)

  • 27 is the hardest year. Makes sense, all those rockstars dying at that age. Check out the book Jung and the Native American Moon Cycles, it mentions about the 24-27 age transition.

  • Axl may be a difficult person. But if you look at where he came from (abusive childhood, manic depression) I think he's done quite well. Other people with serious issues become criminals or extremely violent. Axl forms a rockband and made it extremely successful. OK and he beats up a paparazzo now and then... Not bad at all.

  • He looked amazing!

  • you already know how the god looks like ..

  • @cwiebe888 So true!

  • love him, hate him, he was a true rockstar, none around now!!

  • He looks like Avril Lavigne LOL

  • Kurt Loder is so lame

  • he was soo hot!

  • You people have got to be kidding... I'd love nothing more than to see Axl get in Zakk Wylde's face and call him a pussy or take a swing at Quinton Jackson then watch them break his little pencil neck...

  • se la pongoooooooooo hasta morirmeeeeeee LO AMOOO

  • I hate Kurt he is such an ass licker

  • nob

  • is he talking about springsteen??? or have I to clean my ears ? AXL...

  • If you are confused and believe Axl Rose is humble, well spoken etc... look no further than 3:47 of this interview. The claim that he is misunderstood and defend his narcissism is overshadowed by his own words when describing The Beatles song live and let die as he is listening to it 'This song sounds like Welcome to the Jungle 2'.Its this kind of insight that speaks louder than all his words combined. And he cant keep his mouth shut. He ratted his band out in a courtroom directly after

  • @Biltospill..... the Beatles? try Wings, dude!!

  • @Biltospill good one. axl means 'live and let die' is a sequel to the meaning of 'welcome to the jungle.' if you listened to them both, they kind of intertwine.

    therefore i fail to see the narcissism in his statement to be honest.

  • Kurt Loder = ill-informed, unresearched douchebag:

    Q: "Why has Steven left the band?" A: "Steven didn't leave"

    Q: "How come you chose 'You Only Live Twice' as a cover song?" A: "No, 'Live and Let Die."

    He also laughs about Izzy's quips - Fuck you Kurt, Izzy's Fuckin' A.

  • This is Axl on a good day, any other day it would be completly opposite.

  • Damn! Axl looks so sexy *-* ohhhhh his voiceeee xDD

  • TO MATCH HOT

  • axl rose recently passed away .What a pitty!

  • @camerondelaplata I know !!!!!! i can't believe it O D on heroin :(

  • JagoHits you couldn't be more wrong

  • Axel wrote everysong on AFD while in jail except for one song i believe from what i remember...

  • @JagoHits You obviously dont remember correctly

  • I was telling someone, that the Appetite for Destruction cover symbolized the group's lifestyle as a cross they bore.

  • Axl has a sweet look and a killer smile <3 .

  • @xxGosieqxx Imagine if he fell in the pool behind him!!! or if the interviewer toppled into the pool too!! Imagine the bother it would create!!!

  • did gnr ever cut a track called 27?? if they didnt they should have lol

  • What an amazing voice he got...manly and......dare I say sexy

  • haha..

    "So what made you want to cover The Living Daylights, sorry I mean View To A Kill.... shit, I mean Live And Let Die?"

  • axl looked much more handsome when he was in old guns n' roses,in new gun, he gets fat

  • Axl seems like a very reasonable and responsible dude in this.

    I know he gets a lot of flak about being a dick, and I'm partly guilty of that too, but he seems to portray himself well in this video.

    Yes, he is an entertainer, a rocker, a badass. But he's also human. And he has obligations and duties like everyone who works.

  • @Joe22c, agreed. He's the only one in that band who kept himself focused. He never allowed himself to become a drug addict or alcoholic. Every Axl Rose interview on YouTube show a guy who is clear-headed and driven. Asshole or not, his drive took that band to the top.

  • doesnt sound like he kept himself under control. he got mad and downed a bottle of pills thats the farthest thing from control and he was just as messed up as everyone else agreed steven adler was the worst cause he was in farther but that doesnt mean axl was clean

  • @thenamesdatlon, keep in mind that the life of a "rock star" is very different from that of an everyday joe. Axl did drugs and drank socially, but he was NEVER a junkie. He's even acknowledged as much. Most of his problems have always been mental, not substance induced. Compared to most of his peers, Axl was usually VERY clean. Again, you won't find too many video interviews of him (if any at all) under the influence. Slash, Duff, Izzy, & Steven, different story.

  • @rch9000 very good point

  • @rch9000 and his determination to have complete control took the band riiiiigghhtt to the bottom

  • @NineMonthMedia - get real dude. Guns was self-destructing regardless of Axl's control issues. You try keeping the biggest band in the world together while your bandmates are strung out on cocaine, heroin, and alcohol 24/7!

  • @rch9000 Yeah, but he also became something of an egomaniac during the early to mid 90s and then a recluse. I sometimes think he might have been better off if he'd taken a drink now and then. He was far too tightly wound during the height of their fame, which resulted in skipped/missed shows, diva behavior, escapes into alternative medicine and past life regressions. I mean, this is a guy who beat the living shit out of every woman he's ever been with and took over 10 yrs to produce an album

  • @ritter89, that's what continues to make him interesting. The ingredients to Axl that took him to the top also brought him down. Remember too that, at the height of their fame, he was probably the biggest rock star on the planet - everyone knew who Axl Rose was. Anyone in that position would be tightly wound (some literally don't even survive it). Whatever his faults, he's smarter than people realize.

  • @rch9000 Actually, he's very Smart. Did anyone over here know that he scored top marks at every subject he took in school, without studying at all?!!!!

  • I remember watching this when it first came out in 1990. I was only 5 years old and it made me want to chew ice so i could be cool like my hero Axl. Ha!

  • i wish mtv was still like this

  • @Metalllians86 Im with you (but is rock in MTV2)

  • JAMES HETFIELD RULES!1!!!!!!!!!

  • they were harsh on steven adler, didnt giv him much of a chance to clean up

  • slash and duff started rehab and quit heroin, steven didnt even tryed

  • duff didnt use heroin he was more into cocaine and alcohol izzy and slash did heroin and they both went off it cold turkey without rehab - slash and duff then both turned heavily onto alcohol during the touring of the UYI tour.

    Steven did try rehab a whole bunch of times, and tried the opiate blockers that can help you get off herion etc basically what you said was waaaaaaay of.

  • sorry i didnt read, how can i become guns n roses fan #1 in stupid details

  • duff did use heroin, he explained it when he was talking about kurt cobains last couple of days. sorry lol

  • the point is a considerable chunk of your comment was incontrovertibly incorrect sorry lol

  • dude if you dont believe me go look at the video

  • oh i believe you im aware there was some heroin use by duff and ill admit i didnt translate my knowledge into my initial response - my bad i was wrong. But that wasnt my point i was just observing that almost nothing in your previous statement was correct, at all.

  • no actually in my second last statement there every single thing in it is fact. You are completely biased and wrong. If you would actually do some research you will find i'm right. later.

  • haha i dont believe this im not talking about your second last comment im talking about your first comment about steven not trying to seek help which was all wrong. i even admitted i was wrong about duffs heroin use and you continue on like some pre pubescent little girl. fuck you man. and please explain how i am biased towards anything but my opinion which is fact essential grounds for any debate moron

  • fine cum-mouth! you wanna fuck start a fight with a 15 year old over the internet you small dicked momma's boy!! sure stephen TRIED to get help when he went on celebrity rehab but as the show was being aired HE WAS BACK ON THE FUCKING DRUGS AGAIN you said axl is a whiny bitch? in 2006, axl and stephen met after a show and talked until the early hours of the morning so then stephen must be a whiny bitch too. FUCK man you are so gay it's unreal i bet you've never kissed a girl...fuckin knob OWNED!

  • haha alright settle petal im sure you're just venting all your pent up sexual tensions now but 'Steven' (notice its not 'Stephen' douche) did in fact try Buprinex the opiate blocker that allows users to attempt to get off smack. I have Slash's autobiography right here in front of me pg 303 "he tried Buprinex, but he was too weak to kick the smack altogether" lolololol you're just pissed coz your dad gets more pussy than you. ....fuckin know OWNED! what a joke dick

  • nah i release all my sexual tensions on your girlfriend...oh no sorry wait you don't have one...you'd rather be here fighting with teenagers. yeah if you were a REAL fan of the guns n' roses world you would know that slash's close friend spoke out against slash and said that ALOT of things in his autogiography was lies. oh and i think by you sayin "fuckin know owned" you mean "fuckin NOW owned" maybe you should get out of your moms basement and go back to school.....can you spell OWNED? fuck you

  • oh this is so fun dude where to start

    1) id be immensely surprised if you could even get it up to fuck my girlfriend

    2) How many times have you seen Gunners Live? Ive seen em once with Steve and with Matt in 1988 and 1992

    3) I meant to say "fuckin 'knob' OWNED" but if thats really all you have to say in response i feel bad for you.

    4) i spelled 'owned' right i mistyped 'knob'

    the funniest thing is i really couldnt care less about some nickelback loving wanker but its too much fun argueing!! haha

  • ok so heres the deal

    1) i couldn't get it up to your girlfriend because she doesnt exist

    2) you've seen the gunners live BUT still don't know shit and fighting with someone at least 10 years years your junior

    3)yeah i corrected you on your grammer. i'm 15 and corrected you on your grammer. obviously i had more to say if you look at the rest of my comment. Tool.

    4) your point 3+4 are practically the same.

    5) you spelt arguing wrong.

  • oh haha i love this kid you have made my day!

    you dont know that i dont have a girlfriend or that im 10 years older than you i dont know where youd get that from haha

    and unless you can actually disprove any of slashs words from his autobio then please show me the evidence, also if you're just gonna focus on my spelling the whole time im gonna have to find a new punk ass ginger haired nickelback virgin kid to talk to :)

  • haha you're soooo fucking stupid lmao i said "at least 10 years.." I got it from the fact that you told me you've seen G n'R. oh so you like talking to kids? btw....my hair is dyed ginger....so please go fuck off back to your moms you stupid virgin. btw 2) im 15 so at least i have a reason to be a virgin. you on the other hand.....

  • Comment removed

  • they did sure axl took a paycut so steven could get more money to pay for help

  • Axl Rose, James Hetfield and Corey Taylor are the greates singers in the history of the world ACTUALLY lol

  • He didn't leave the band, Steven was fired.

  • im glad axl got cleaned up

  • Kurt Loder is such a kissass.

  • he's amazing!!!simple as that!!

  • Axl Rose Is the best singer in the history of the fucking World

  • in rock

  • james hetfield ruled the voice of metal back in the days. noone above, noone beside.

  • @cwiebe888 no hes not

  • @cwiebe888 Far from it twerp.

  • @cwiebe888 yea but hes a total douche bag, who can barley chow up for his own concert, i agree amazing singer, if he shows up for us to hear him.

  • @cwiebe888 LOL.....sounds like a cat in heat......best singer inthe world.....ROFLMA x10

  • fans of GNR should check out axl's interview with Eddie Trunk from 2006. its available right here on YouTube.

    its the most relaxed, funny, wonderful interview you'll ever come across.

  • yeah, he's a really charismatic guy. great interview along with his BFF sebastian bach :P

  • pity him and erin were only married for like a month

  • 8 months, actually.

  • I actually thought I read that he od'd in 1990! the year this vid came out! well, if Axl said 4 years ago, then that was around 1986.

  • I luv Axl 4ever XD

  • wheres kurts drink?

  • He's so level headed and charming and humble and intelligent in this interview. The complete opposite to how he is when he rants in concerts.

  • fuck i want to meet this man! he sounds intelligent.

  • INTELLIGENT?! Hahahahaahaha! LMFAO!

  • apparently, he is.

    according to numerous biographies i've read on the band and himself, people close to him say he is an intellectual..

  • oh sorry, where in the fuck did i say this video? that's right, i didn't. i don't really give a shit if you're making ignorant statements, because there will always be idiots like you. try reading and processing the words, dumb shit.

  • Hey you stupid, ignorant, uneducated whore, try learning some proper grammar before you start calling things "intelligent". You must actually at least "appear" to be intelligent for your ability to spot something that may "appear intelligent" to actually have any merit to it. Go back to school you dumb skank. People, look at Michelle. This is what happens when your mother is a crackhead prostitute and daddy's piss drunk on the living room all day and night. =)

  • nice theory there faggot, it's quite pathetic that you have to make up shit to insult me .. aww, are you getting mad now? poor muffin, don't get too upset. try taking your own advice before talking out of your ass next time. it's clear that you really don't have any idea what a person is capable of, regardless of what they may present on the outside ..

  • LOL! I guess we know who's getting mad because it's not me. You're the one going crazy and losing your head. That's what happens with insignificant little people like you. I really couldn't care less about Axl, yourself, or what you think of him. That said, I'm going to hereforth stand mute as I don't waste further effort on douches like yourself. Read the book "Arguing with Idiots" by Glen Beck, that is, IF you can even read above 1st grade level. You need some kind of help with your brain.

  • lol .. loosing my head. keep telling yourself that, whatever helps you sleep at night buddy .. seeing as you're a pathetic loner. if you didn't give a shit, you wouldn't have started this, you're not fooling anybody sweetheart. but that's fine with me, as long as i don't have to constantly read your repeated and failed attempts at insulting me.

  • =) Such a wonderful and beautiful day!

  • indeed it is.

  • fucking pathetic 35 year old creep, who get's off on starting ignorant, useless arguments with somebody who expresses their opinions. try getting a hobby, or maybe a fucking girlfriend, you weak little pussy.

  • Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya

    Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya

    Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya

    Oh Lord, kumbaya

    Someones crying, Lord, kumbaya

    Someones crying, Lord, kumbaya

    Someones crying, Lord, kumbaya

    Oh Lord, kumbaya

  • OMG what a voice! Totally gorgeous...

  • i would not think his voice is that deep wow

  • Axl looks so sexy. he's so gorgeous!

  • i love you for saying that!!!!

  • god, axl used to be so gorgeous!

  • yeah erin was one lucky girl

  • 5:10 the song used to be called what?

  • Girth
