Axl Rose Agrees to Rare TV Interview

Axl Rose has agreed to a very rare television interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote the upcoming Guns N' Roses shows at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

The Appetite for Democracy shows begin October 31st and run for 12 dates through November 24th. Axl will appear on the show on Wednesday, October 24th. As is customary with the Kimmel show, the interview will be broadcast on a one-hour tape delay.

Guns N' Roses have been touring pretty steadily over the past few years, but Rose has agreed to very few interviews.

He did appear on VH1 Classic's That Metal Show in November of 2011, where he explained why he's often late to his shows. "A lot of this goes way, way back to 1991, when we were super late going on stage," Rose said. "I should not have been on tour. I went on tour for three reasons – my manager booked a tour without authorization. If Slash died of heroin, it's my fault. And Slash pushing me.

A quick glance at Ticketmaster reveals that plenty of seats are still available for the Las Vegas shows, which likely explains Rose's decision to agree to this interview.

The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year, though Rose opted to not attend the ceremony. Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Steven Adler performed with Alter Bridge frontman Myles Kennedy in Axl's place.

On October 20th and 21st, Guns N' Roses will perform rare acoustic sets at Neil Young's annual Bridge School Benefit.

Yosamite Sam has ever so graced everyone with an interview how exciting rolleyes

Honestly fuck an asshole rose, his interview on That Metal Show was weird & awkward. The guys looked nervous & scared as hell what to ask the douche, and we know Axl can just go and walk off over anything neutral

He should stick to fucking Lana Del Ray & keep inside his cave.

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

All music is shit music and no music is real- gunsnhalen

Technically everything you're saying is right but for some reason I absolutely love Axl! I know he's completely crazy and has issues for days but I hold a special place in my heart for him. Appetite for destruction literally changed my life. It was the first album I ever bought and is still in my opinion one of the best albums ever made. No, it doesn't excuse his (psychotic) behavoir but there are no rock stars left. I'm still hoping one day he'll come to his senses and put out something great.

Even though he cray cray lol

Studio wise i know he has some shit left in him, i think he can still make good music. And if he concentrates in the studio i think we could get another great album cool

I'm not ashamed to admit i loved The Chinese Democracy album & bootlegs that came before it.

F Axl Rose! A complete loser. Standing up his own bandmates for the induction was the final straw...
