Axl and DJ finally open up to Eddie Trunk on 11/11/11!

Axl Rose gave an hour-long interview to VH1 Classic‘s “That Metal Show” early this morning (Sunday, October 30) — a couple of hours after the band’s headlining performance at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida.

In a series of tweets, “That Metal Show” co-host Eddie Trunk expressed his frustration about having to wait around for Axl to decide whether or not he wanted to speak on camera, “[It's] 5:30 a.m. [now], [and we] got to this arena at 3:00 p.m. [on Saturday],” he wrote. “[We are] still here…. If this interview happens, I might dose off for the first time ever in an interview. . . My producer ain’t giving up on this and I’m [here] working for VH1, so [I'm] sticking it out until he calls it. But this is nuts!” Shortly before 7:00 a.m., Trunk tweeted, “[Five] years after [Axl gave a] radio interview [to 'Friday Night Rocks', a show hosted by Trunk. — Ed.], Axl Rose has just done an hour interview for ['That Metal Show']. History made! Will air [on November 11] on VH1 Classic! Get ready!”
