Re: The Silence is Deafening
well as Madagas sugested...apparently its in bad taste to discuss multimillion dollar deals before they are finalized...not that Axl needs a reason to remain mute
the curious thing i find is that in all this Robin, Pittman and even Tommy are just as adept as Axl at disappearing from public life
That's a really good point...but I guess they figure...if there's nothing to say...there's nothing to say

Seriously...is there anything more annoying that interviewing someone who won't answer questions about anything interesting?
gotta feel sorry for the guy...he loves communicating and interacting with the fans but his hands are tied when it comes to GnR...as he said before its not his place to discuss the album
Which, as much of a die hard GNR fan that I am, I must admit is VERY sad that the (co) LEAD GUITARIST of the band can't talk about the album.

It's ridiculous but not really Rons fault.
Having said that various people including band members and Merck have said they can talk about the album they just choose not to out of respect or to ruin the surprise. The only confidentiality thing they've got is something to do with not discussing each others personal business or something like that. Not sure I buy it, but that's what various sources have said at different times.

including ron i think when he did his first chat session with us 
Re: The Silence is Deafening
Oh, I wasn't blaming Ron, it just sucks ass. I mean, he's a great guy and a testament to what can be accomplished through respecting and interacting with one's fans, it's just disappointing.
Maybe he CAN legally discuss it, but he'll catch shit for it if he does. Or perhaps the other band members warned him in advance of that sort of thing. (Monthly Tommy "it's coming..." statements... ah the memories.)

Axl will kill them if they spill it about CD 
As much as this band is a "different" band from the rest of the bands out there that do talk about their music, it's still hard to swallow that this subject is off limits.

person: ron, what's your fav. flavor of ice cream?
ron: OMG...I SO LOVE ICE CREAM
It's Vanilla Frozen Yogurt with chunks of real cherry. Good shit, as he would say.
