We go into Episode 23 where our last episode left off, with journalist Art Tavana joining us in studio at iHeartRadio, New York City. Art is working on what he believes will be the definitive book chronicling the GN’R story, and he has been conducting some pretty extensive interviews in order to complete such an arduous task. One of the men he got to sit down with is A&R Executive during the prime of Guns’ career, Tom Zutaut.
Art got a chance to see and hear parts of the Guns N’ Roses story that very few have before during this journey, and we also ask him what his boundaries are, if any, as a journalist. Will it bother Art if Guns N’ Roses are unhappy when the final product comes out? He’ll tell us his thoughts on that. We also wonder if there’s any way Axl could ever benefit from vocal tips given by Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil. …We’re not too sure about that. Last, this podcast was recorded before 1) The Apollo Show and 2) the passing of Chester Bennington, the frontman best known as a major force in Linkin Park. You will be greatly missed.
