It's my fault "Chinese Democracy" took 14 years

Bio & Blog

As governor you must learn to take the blows of the people. I am the first one to admit I made a few mistakes. But now that Guns n' Roses has released "Chinese Democracy" I can finally reveal the worst.

It is all my fault.

I first met them on MTV. I was home and they were on. I said "You guys are great! Be in my movie!". They never responded.

Two years later I met them in person. I said "You guys are great! Be in my movie!". Slash threw up on my shoes. Progress. 

A week later I saw Axl. I said "You guys are great! Be in my movie!".  He said "Only if you make more movies about robots". I said, "Or buddy comedies?" No, robots.

And that is why we made Terminator 2.

Everything seemed great. Then I made "Last Action Hero".  Axl sued me. I thought he was mad about AC/DC. No. "Not enough robots" his lawyers said. 80 million dollars. Of course I paid it, but Axl vowed to never record again.

I did my best. I told him, "Come to the set of Batman and Robin! I look just like a robot!" Lucky for me he didn't. He might have killed me.

Finally I went to his house. I asked him, "Please come out of hiding. The people need your screechy music." He said "Robots?" I know how to play the Hollywood game.  So I said, "yes."  We embraced.

End of Days had no robots. Axl sued me.

Times were tough. I made The Sixth Day. He put cornrows in his hair. And sued me.

Finally I decide to be the bigger man. I made Terminator 3.  But the damage was done. No soundtrack.

Now that I have retired from making movies, he releases his album. It is a bittersweet moment. When I listen to "There Was a Time", I think of the movie that will never be.  The one where Sinbad plays my robot neighbor.
