In a recent interview with BW&BK; scribe Carl Begai about his new album Below The Belt, Toronto rocker Danko Jones discussed his band's January 2010 support slot on the Canadian leg of GUNS N' ROSES' Chinese Democracy tour. An excerpt is available below.
“Axl Rose has got a bad reputation but he treated us really well,” Jones reveals. “He was nice to me and we hung out for hours. He had his own thing going on, but I personally think a lot of that has to do with the fact that even though Chinese Democracy is almost two years old the band has only really started touring on it. The Canadian tour that we were on was actually only the second leg after four dates in Asia, so I think Axl was trying to get his grounding back. But honestly, of any of the big tours that we’ve been on, Axl Rose was one of the most accommodating, nicest guys I’ve ever toured with. It’ll strike people as odd for some people to hear that but it’s the truth. He’s a really nice guy and it’s too bad not enough people see that side of him.”Go to this location for more on Axl.
The band's new video for the song 'Full Of Regret' is available below. It features appearances by MOTÖRHEAD frontman Lemmy and actors Elijah Wood and Selma Blair.
