In New York they just say, “Yo, Ax!”

HP: Do you everwor baa ‘burn one ityoud seem like you really don’t have time for a
personal life.
AR: | really felt burnt out a lot on the first tour we did with Skid Row. It was very hard for
me to be out there because all of the songs were a part of my past, and |wanted to get on
to my future. The burnout thing hits and that’s when we change the set around a little bit.
The South American tour, for instance, has really gotten Slash, Gilby and me very excited,
especially about the people and their responses to the show. It’s brought new life into it. To
be honest, the American tour was really hard because with Metallica playing a full set, and
the crowd being really tired by the time they got to us, and so many spectators who really
weren't into the music—people who were there just because they wanted to see what
everything was about—it was difficult for us. In Europe, Japan and even South America,
everyone who comes to the show is really into the music. With that many people on the
American tour just standing around and not giving us energy back, it was really hard for us
to keep up our energy level.
HP: Don’t you think that the percentage of “spectators” in America was very small?
AR: No. | do go off on the crowd, but there is a big difference between general_admission
where the people who really care are right in front of you, and the situation where you've
got people in the front row who are sitting there with their arms crossed and a “show me
something” look on their faces. It's annoying. Especially when you know the people sitting

“Since we've started touring I’ve only had one vacation.”
HP: As you look back on the Use Your Illusion albums with a little perspective, are you still
glad that you released so much material at one time?
AR: Slash and | were just discussing that this morning, and there’s no way we regret it.
We're very proud of what we've done. We had planned on doing that even before we had
done our first album. We didn’t know that it would include quite as many songs, but we
knew we had to bury Appetite in some way. There was no way to out-do that album, and
if we didn’t out-do Appetite in one way or another it was going to take away from our
success and the amount of power we had gained to do what we wanted. We got all the
material we needed to out of our system, and commercially it’s been a major success. The
only drawback we've had is due to Tipper Gore, and her work to have stickers placed on

they'll end up a little disillusioned.”
Soon after signing their record
deal, the band cut a series of live
demos with noted engineer—
and first time producer—Guy
Charbonneau (who has worked with
everyone from Rush to the Grateful
Dead). From there the decision was
handed down that the band should
try to record an EP first, and only
then attempt to put together an
entire album. But with the $40,000
EP budget in their pockets, and five
years of material to pick from, just
doing a five song EP seemed like a
waste of time for Animal Bag. With
Charbonneau’s assistance, the band
rented a mobile unit and a sound
stage, and went to work. Less than a
month later, Animal Bag was com-
pleted.
“We completed 13 songs for the
record, and they really cover a lot of
territory,” Edwards explained.
“There's some hard rock in there, but
there’s also some pop and some
other things. We like to make sure
that things don’t get boring.”
“Boring” is certainly a word that
won't be used to describe either
Animal Bag’s music or their approach
to their craft. Everything from their
appearance to their ‘60s styled
album cover, designed by Michael
Klotz, screams out the band’s unique
identity. But it’s one thing to be dif-
ferent just for the sake of being dif-
ferent. It's something else again to be
different because that’s the way you
really are. Got it? Make no mistake
about it, Animal Bag are different,
and as the rock world will continue
to find out, this is one band where
that difference really matters.
“We don't fit in, and that bothers
some people,” Edward exclaimed. “|
think a lot of the folks in the music
business would like every band to
just fall into a certain category so
they can be neatly filed and put
away. Hey, we don’t want any part of
that. We like throwing people curve

Metallica playing all over the

cial guests at the Freddie
Mercury Concert For Life last
April. They performed a mini set,
and James jammed on Tie Your

“Queen opened our eyes to

observed Lars. “Hopefully that
concert will open the eyes ofa

THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG DREAM THEATER'S TAKE THE TIME
ne of the reasons many great songwriters encourage people to write songs about something they know, is because it’s nat-
On to write from first hand experience. Progressive metal band Dream Theater have always put their personal struggles
and victories in music. On their self-titled debut album, they had a song called Only A Matter Of Time, about how, according to
drummer Mike Portnoy, record labels had “aspirations for the band and perceived us differently than we really were. Our view-
point was ‘We knew it was only a matter of time that we’d have a chance, but we'd have to be patient and things would turn out
our way.”
Portnoy sees Take The Time as a continuation of Only A Matter Of Time, from the pages of the Dream Theater diary, 1989-
199l1—a lesson about the realities of the music business, after the group had a parting of the ways with their original record com-
pany. One day, when the band were discussing their music business frustrations and writing some new material, Mike had a
novel idea for developing the song at hand, “Let’s each write our own verses in a logical order.” Mike was responsible for the
first verse, John Myung for the second one, Kevin for both choruses, and John Petrucci for the rest of the song.
Each verse not only showcases the band’s frustration, but also each member's personality. For example Myung is a very
reflective and quiet person to the point of seeming spacey, so he wrote a lot about feelings. Mike’s a big Public Enemy and
Frank Zappa fan, so right before his verse he sampled lines from their records, and then had the vocals start with the words,
“Just let me catch my breath!” Continues Mike, “Because we had no singer, deal, lawyer and even a rehearsal studio, I wrote
‘We gotta make a change—new voice, new law, new way.’ All in all each verse is a realization.
Petrucci adds that the song’s actual title has a few different interpretations, one directed to radio that says, “Take the time—
don’t play edits—play full versions of songs,” ‘cause Dream Theater songs are really long. “The chorus kind of sums up the
band’s feelings. It’s like you're fighting the way of the world, ‘cause everything’s coming down on you at one point. You feel
like you almost have nothing...but you always have the music. Just take the time—the time to really make the right decisions.
The one thing about this band is that everybody knew no matter what was going on, we knew something was going to come out
of it. And it’s probably the strength of the music and how much fun we had, and that we’re friends that made the time we took
together so worthwhile.”

PAUL RODGERS,
MUDDY WATERS TRIBUTE
Paul Rodgers may well be the most tal-
ented vocalist ever to pick up a rock and
roll microphone. Over the years his work
with the likes of Free, Bad Company and
the Firm has established him as perhaps
the most soulful rock crooner of all time.
Rarely has Rodgers’ unique talents enjoyed
a more appropriate outlet than on his new
Muddy Waters Tribute album, a disc
filled with blues passion as well as some of
the hottest guitar licks in the known uni-
verse. What Rodgers has done is surround
himself with an ever-changing cast of gui-
tar stars (including Slash, Neal Schon, Jeff
Beck and Richie Sambora) allowing each to
play on one of Water's classic blues tunes
while he sings the stuffing out of it. On

done. Other than that, we're not even sure how we're gonna approach writing for this
next album. Last time Slash would write his songs, | would write mine and Izzy would
write his, and then we'd put ‘em all together. Well, this time there’s no Izzy, and Slash
isn’t writing just his songs—it’s gonna be more of a collaboration thing. We don’t know
if we're gonna be writing with Gilby or somebody else. We know we want to play with
Gilby, but we're not sure about the writing.
HP: Did Matt earn such high respect more for the work he’s done on stage or on album?
AR: More from just jamming. When he goes off on his own creative sense it's pretty
amazing. | want to facilitate that getting out. | want Matt to just explode on the next
record.
HP: We know there are some other projects in the works for the band at the moment,
including a variety of videos. What can you tell us about those?
AR: First, we have two “making of” videos coming out—and in typical G N’ R fashion
we'll be putting out Number Two first. It’s called Making F**king Videos—Part II
November Rain. Then we're putting out another documentary about the making of
Don't Cry. We still have yet to write what will be the third part of that story, which will be
Estranged, which will show what happened, and why. Then, we've had a documentary
Crew out with us the whole time we've been out on the road, and they've been filming
everything. We're just having our director go through all the footage and we're putting a
movie together that will be a combination of reality and fiction tied in with the three
videos, November Rain, Don’t Cry and Estranged. That story will tie in with the reality of KIRK

HP: Do you ever worry that the persona of Axl Rose will get bigger than Guns N’ Roses?
AR: The bottom line is that nothing can come between Slash and |, and as long as we
have that bond we have Guns N’ Roses. However big | get can only help the band
because it attracts more attention to Guns N’ Roses. I’m not worried about being pulled
in other directions. |need Guns N’ Roses in my life.
HP: There has been talk, however, about Slash doing a solo project. Can you ever see
yourself doing an album away from Guns N’ Roses?
AR: | want to do some stuff on my own, but not as a means of trying to prove my own
sense of identity. You know the song My World on Use Your Illusion II? |want to do a
whole project like that by myself and with whoever else might want to be on it. But right
now it's just me and a computer engineer. It’s just raw expression—just putting ideas
together. We just go in, say “What do we want to do” and get to work. We completed
My World in three hours. It’s something that | need to get out of my system, but it’s not
something |want to base my career and future on.
HP: You mention the idea of working with other musicians. If you had your choice, who
would you really like to work with on a project?
AR: Trent Rennor from nine inch nails is one, and Dave Navarro from Jane’s Addiction is
another guy | want to work with. I’ve talked to Trent about working with me on an
industrial synth project, at least on one song, and | definitely want to work with Dave on
_ something. I’ve always been curious what he would sound like working with Slash on
something.
HP: Wasn't Dave rumored to be joining Guns N’ Roses after Izzy left?
AR: Yeah, there was a lot of talk about that, and we were very open to it. But it just
_ wasn’t the right time in Dave's life for it to happen. He was kind of needing the time to
just see where he was at, and he’s been very successful at that. But the idea of working
with him excites me to no end because |still put on Jane’s Addiction and it always seems
brand new, no matter how many times | hear it. I'd like to try to achieve a fusion of what
they were trying and what G N’ R is doing. | think that blend, if taken seriously and
patiently, could be amazing. It could be a fuller thing than anyone's done before. Dave
and Slash together could be incredible—two guys very “out there” on their own, work-
ing together. It’s like the first time | met Slash, | said, “The world's gotta see this guy.”
That's why when he plays with other people or does solo things it totally gets me off and
makes me happy. It secures his place in rock history as a guitarist. | feel the same way
about Dave. Obviously, | have a much closer bond with Slash. being involved with him
for so many years, but |think the world kind of missed Dave. I'd really like to help fix that.
HP: You've been called a spokesman for a generation. Is that a heavy burden for you to
bear?
AR: | think my material has a place, but | don’t place myself that high up on the totem
pole. | was reading an interview with Roger Waters recently, and he was saying that he
_ considers himself one of the five best English writers of all time. He figures there may be
John Lennon up there, and maybe Freddie Mercury, but he doesn’t know who else. |
look at his writing that way too. | don’t put myself in that category atall.I'd liketogrow
to a point where | could. | look at people like Bono, and to me he's just so far ahead of
most people spiritually, and in the way his spirituality comes across in his lyrics. That’s
amazing to me, and it encourages me to strive to reach places where other people have
already been. |admire their sense of themselves and where their hearts and minds really
de That's where |want to go with my lyrics, and | hope our audience will come along
with us.

HP: We'll ask you one last thing. When you wake up in the morning, are you happy
being Ax! Rose?
AR: Am |happy? Hmmmm. Yeah, but |won't really know how happy |am until the end
of this tour in May. That's when I'll know if | achieved all of my goals. I've achieveda lot
ofthem, but I'm not in a place where | can sit back on my laurels and say “Hey, |did it.”
If |can kick back in June and feel a sense of accomplishment, then I'll be happy.
HP: What's the first thing you're gonna do when you have some free time?
AR: | don’t remember what free time is. |just bought a skate board, and |was thinking
of getting back into that. | can do that then because if |break my arm, | won't have to
