‘Why?’ It’s such a little word, yet it asks such a lot. And seven years on from being accused by Axl Rose in Get In The Ring of, “rippin’ off the fuckin’ kids… printin’ lies, startin’ controversy…”, whenever anybody asks why my name ended up in that appallingly funny song, I never quite know what to say. It’s like being asked why you broke up with your girlfriend… like, how much time do you have?

I’ve heard the rumours, of course. So first off, let me begin by straightening out some of the most popular misconceptions.

1. Axl threatening to kick my “bitchy little ass” was not because of his reaction to the book I wrote about the band, Guns N’ Roses: The Most Dangerous Band In the World. The song was recorded long before the book was published.
2. Getting my name in a Guns N’ Roses song did not result in me losing my job

   A big, brash history of Guns n' Roses charismatic, talented and idiosyncratic leader"An archetypal rock biography that captures the runaway-train spirit of the singer and his band--You don't have to be a Guns N' Roses överdriven to dig this energetic, comprehensive, few-holds-barred portrait of modern metal's most charismatic figure."--Kirkus ReviewsEven in the rock world, a figure like Axl Rose doesn't komma along very often. Mercurial and brilliant, deluded and imperious, Rose defies easy description. W.A.R. reveals Rose's childhood influences (and how he got his name), tracks the birth of G n' R and delves into the stories behind their monster albums Appetite for Destruction and Use Your Illusion. But with those successes came excesses--drugs, infighting and a lead singer who morphed from eccentric to seemingly list Mick Wall had unprecedented tillgång to Rose and G n' R during their heyday and gives a more richly detailed portrait of the band than you've ever read before

   Axl Rose even wrote him into the song “Get In The Ring” (NSFW lyrics):

   These qualifications and others man Wall (pictured) an authority on all things Axl. We caught up with him to find out why Guns N’ Roses waited so long to release Chinese Democracy, why Rose decided to release it now, whether there will be another GNR album and why Axl doesn’t like him anymore.

   Eliot Van Buskirk, : How are you?

   Mick vägg, legendary hard rock journalist and author: Good, good. Everybody’s getting excited about Chinese Democracy — well not me, but most people (both laugh).

   : Why not you?

   MW: Oh, I’m kidding. Why not me? Because I’ve been a musicbusiness professional for 31 years. I’m not going to get excited aboutsomething l
