"Axl turned 46 last Wednesday (Feb. 6)," said Wall from his country home outside of London. "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."

I need the "Chinese" Axl
written by naireh, February 20, 2008

I have the Mike Wall's book. I hope to find the thruth about what happen between him and Axl to be in "Get in the ring". I was in 2006 on a concert of Axl in Madrid and was a great time, a dream night and his voice was the same I heard on cd's during this years. I'm waiting for Chinese Democracy cause I trust on Axl, and he'll find the way to be out.
