Tommy Stinson Interview
November 30th, 2011
It must be a relief not to have to answer the dreaded „When is ‚Chinese Democracy‘ coming out?“ question anymore.
Tommy Stinson: Yeah! It came out [in 2008]. And it [expletive] got thrown against the wall like an old plate of spaghetti. [laughs]
You don’t think „Chinese Democracy“ got a fair shake?
Tommy Stinson: Hell no. No record ever gets a real fair shake anyway. It’s just one of those things that you live with.
Now everyone is probably asking when the next album is coming out.
Tommy Stinson: Everyone is asking me that question. I don’t know. There’s talk of doing some recording in the new year, getting some songs together. But that’s just talk. Let’s get through the tour and see where things end up.
After earning mythic status during its creation, „Chinese Democracy“ came and went in the blink of an eye.
Stinson blames record company politics for its lack of promotion, „and I don’t think Axl has gotten over that,“ the Minneapolis native says. He calls the debacle „dumbfounding,“ but says Axl may not be completely finished with the record. „I think in his head there’s still some stuff left to be done,“ Stinson says. „If what he wants to do happens, it could drag it out for awhile. But we’ll see what happens.“
Looking ahead, Stinson says the hope is to write new songs next year and move forward with GNR, which is nominated for entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2012. There are songs left over from the „Chinese Democracy“ sessions that are almost ready to go, he says, and could be polished up for potential release.
„Who knows, maybe there will be Chinese Democracy 2,“ Stinson says. „Who knows?“
