Check out excerpts from the interview
In an interview with an Atlanta channel, Guns N' Roses' concert production manager Dale "Opie" Skjerseth spoke about the band's current differences. Regarding Axl Rose's famous lateness in the past, Skjerseth said that the vocalist has matured:
“We were all young. Even me. His maturity, and his business, are as they should be. Everyone feels very good. He arrives before the guys, before the rest of them, by a few days. He arrives, goes up on stage. Sometimes he stays at the venue afterwards.”.
Skjerseth was asked if the band is getting along well, since each member has their own dressing room: “It’s just because everyone is older, they bring their families. Everyone needs to have their own space. Everyone meets before going on stage. It’s a meeting point, it’s where the chemistry happens.”
When asked what brought the band together, the music or the money, the manager replied: “I believe it all starts with the love for the band… But also… we all want money.”
Skerseth also said that the Guns N' Roses tour has no end date: “I've already seen many dates for next year, for the end of next year. We are all working together for a single goal: to keep the ball rolling.”
