I would like to explore India: Axl Rose
Dec 2, 2012, 12.00AM IST TNN[ Kritika Kapoor ]
Axl Rose
Axl Rose, the lead vocalist of Guns n' Roses, who are all set to perform in Delhi on December 12, talks about what's in store for their fans in India.
On performing in India
I've always wanted to play in India. We've tried to make that happen but for whatever reasons it just didn't work out. We're all looking forward to coming there and performing for everyone." When asked if he plans to travel to places apart from the cities he's performing in, he replies, "That would be great! I'm sure the rest of the guys and crew will visit some other places. If I'm lucky I'll be able to. Mostly I focus on the shows but if I have time I'm excited to explore India."
On Indian spirituality
I'm interested in having a personal, first- hand understanding of spirituality and religion as well as politics and government in India," he says. We pointed out that his Wikipedia page says that he had a keen interest in past life regression. Seeing as India is regarded as a spiritual haven by many, was that something he was keen to explore? "I'm not sure that what I personally believe or not is really out there publicly," he replied. "Lots of people say and twist things and have done so over the years for their own purposes based on gossip, hearsay, unsubstantiated media nonsense and even outright lies, especially when money may be involved and/or if they're trying to make problems for others. I do like to explore and consider lots of different concepts, ideologies, belief systems, religions etc, and have an understanding of what others feel, think or believe, but in my opinion, ultimately what one "believes" is their own business."
India as a music destination
It does seem like bands or the touring/concert industry is really trying to make an effort to include India in their tours, more so now than in the past which I think is a good thing," he says about the recent trend, adding that he would be open to collaborations while he's in town. "With regard to collaborations with Indian artistes, I think there's always the possibility of collaborations anywhere with nearly anyone."

Bumblefoot, Tony Harnell join forces, start Pledge Music Campaign
Van Bumblefoot's facebook:
For Immediate Release:
Bumblefoot, Tony Harnell join forces, start Pledge Music Campaign
www.pledgemusic.com/projects/tonyharnell
Guns N’ Roses guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal has joined forces with Tony Harnell former TNT frontman and hi
s unique NY based acoustic/electric band. Since leaving TNT in 2006 Harnell has continued recording both hard rock, metal and acoustic rock albums and has been performing his entertaining acoustic set to sold out crowds around the New York City circuit with his current line up which features guitarist Jason Hagen, Amy Harnell (vocals/percussion) and newest member Cassandra Sotos (TSO, Mark Wood), on 7-string electric violin.
The two met 20 years earlier when Tony was forming a new band after TNT took a break in 1992, and in Jan 2012 Ron and Tony were reunited at the NAMM convention in L.A. where the two started discussing the possibility of working together.
After Ron attended one of Tony’s recent performances in August, which Thal proclaimed was “the best acoustic show he had ever seen”, Tony, being a fan of Ron’s other-worldly and original fretwork asked if he’d like to join him on the project and contribute to his EP which was already underway. Harnell states, “in addition to Ron’s superhuman and beautiful guitar playing, he also happens to have a great voice and writes amazing songs which will greatly add to this project both live and in the studio. Thal has also been a longtime fan of Harnell's songwriting and vocal artistry, so the new coalition seems more than natural.
The group is also announcing the launch of a Pledge Music campaign, which allows the fans to contribute to and watch the making of the EP. A portion of the proceeds from the campaign will go to Breast Cancer Research. With the new lineup and EP on the way, the group will tour nationally and internationally as a foursome featuring Harnell, Thal, Harnell (Amy) and Sotos under the name, "Tony Harnell and the Wildflowers featuring Bumblefoot." Hagen will remain an integral part of songwriting and recording and will be appearing with the group for local performances. Harnell also states, “Ron’s live appearances with this project will be subject to his schedule with GNR but he’ll be with us for the live shows whenever possible.”
The project already has shows booked in Vegas and Europe as well as the prestigious, soon to be re-opened Cutting Room in NYC which has relocated and is being touted as one of the coolest new venues in the city.
Harnell and Thal have also been discussing other plans for a full electric band and have already started to reach out to some well-known musicians to join them. “That’ll manifest after the acoustic EP which is due out in early 2013.”
