şu soruları hazırladım, ekleycek bişey varsa ekleyebiliriz:
* First and foremost, how do you feel about the Chinese Democracy World Tour? In the eye of Turkish fans, the tour seems to be going very well. Especially, the Far East and South American legs have been of huge success for the band. Considering no promotion has been made for Chinese Democracy, have you been expecting such a great interest?
* Speaking of Chinese Democracy, despite the impatient wait of 15 years for the album to come out, the band had no efforts to promote the sale, no videos or other promotional matters have been released so far. Do you have any good news on this, shall we expect to have a “Better” video soon? It might be a nice surprise for us to see an official “Better” video incorporating scenes from the Chinese Democracy World Tour.
* Let’s continue with Chinese Democracy. My favorite song changes from time to time. During the years we were waiting for the album, my favorite was “Madagascar” among those leaked. When the album came out, “Better” took my heart and now “There was a time” and “If the World” are continously playing on my media player. Which of the Chinese Democracy songs do you enjoy playing most and, of course, why?
* So as we talk about the favorites, you’ve been on the road for quite some time and you’ve visited many countries some of which saw Guns N’ Roses on stage for the first time. Which one was your personal favorite, which audience thrilled you most?
* Let me ask the most important question the answer of which Turkish fans have been looking forward to hear since you’ve last visited Istanbul in 2006. When will we be able to see Guns N’ Roses in Istanbul again? Rumor has it that you will be playing the Masstival in September. Any chance we see you this year or maybe next? Also, can you us about your experience of İstanbul in 2006, any memories?
* I know that you are very busy with the tour right now, but shall we expect a new album after the tour ends? I mean, the fruit of the 15-year wait cannot be just an album, there might be other songs recorded.
* After turbulent years following the breakup of the original crew, fans thought that the crew stabilized. But all of a sudden Robin got out, and we all saw Dj Ashba becoming the new axeman just before the Chinese Democracy World Tour began. He was a complete stranger for most of the Turkish fans who were very unhappy to see him on board. You know, his emo look and prejudices! But he showed everyone how a talented guitarist he is and as far as I could follow the 2010 shows (thanks to the Latin American fans, we have dvds of the South America shows), he is a real part of Guns N’ Roses. How is touring with him, having him on board?
* Isn’t it a problem that you have three guitarists on board? I mean, how do you share parts and roles. From where I see, the band does not have a sole lead guitarist, but all three may be leading depending on the song. This was different when Slash was there. He was definitely the lead guitarist and Izzy seemed to be happy with that. I found it very rich that we have three of you on the crew at the same time. Each of you is bringing a different rhythm and taste to the band’s music.
* About Slash, there are always rumors about the reunion. I don’t think this would ever be happening, but there are many fans still expecting to see Slash, Duff and Izzy back on the crew. How do you feel about such fans? I mean, does it hurt you that these guys want to see them back?
* So, we can’t really end an interview about Guns N’ Roses without speaking of Axl. For me, he is God! How is life with Axl? Is he as moody as the old members say?
* Anything you'd like to say to all the Guns N' Roses fans in Turkey at the moment?
