Re: Why Tommy is Axl's only Equalizer-old interview

old 1986 Replacements Article-Tommy is 19
1. Very enlightening about Tommy's view of the music industry and rock n' roll in general. Some of these exact things I have heard before from "guys" everybody seems to worship.
2. A perfect example of why he is in this new band-he sees it as a challenge and as some form of statement. Essentially, another way of being anti something...which from reading this interview, you will see the spirit and tenacity of The Mats. A lot of the same things Gnr stood for. They hated critics and writers. Read it-you'll see.
3. He was a rock star before anyone in Gnr was...still is a legendary rock star in the industry. Record sales don't equal respect.
4. He is clearly the only other blue blood bonafide rock star in the new Gnr. The other guys are certainly quality musicians, but Tommy has been doing this shit since 1981 when he was 15!
5. It's a great interview.
Re: Why Tommy is Axl's only Equalizer-old interview
he never really slammed Gnr....him and Paul just chuckle and say they thought Gnr was better from "the neck down"...in other words just rockin. Paul didn't like the ballads, just the rock. Tommy never really ripped them, that is a urban myth.
about 3:50 in...
