"Elliot in the Morning". Download the chat as an MP3 audio file at

In a recent interview with Lafayette's daily newspaper
Journal & Courier,
Wall stated about the reclusive
GUNS N' ROSES singer, "
Axl turned 46 last Wednesday (February 6). The last time he released an album of original material he was 29. Now he is closer to 50.
THE BEATLES' career started and was over in half that time."
Published Feb. 7,
"W.A.R." is available at Borders Books & Music and Barnes & Noble Booksellers.
Wall said the book's release near
Rose's birthday was a coincidence.
Wall said
Rose has "50 or 60 tracks recorded, enough for three or four CDs" and those leaked online or on bootlegs have been well-received from
GNR fans.
"Officially put it out all online,"
Wall suggested. "Here it is. Take it or leave it. Then just move on. Put them out. It's a sign of madness that it has taken this long. It was kind of cool crazy in 2002 when he started to tour again. Now it's uncool crazy.
"The tracks I've heard, a lot of it is really good but the whole mystique is wearing away."
