Brian Harding of Liverpool University interviews Tommy Stinson, bass player of Guns n'roses.

Background
Today, Tommy Stinson, bass player of Guns n'Roses, has come to the UK to play a gig at Liverpool University. After the show, which also featured Jesse Malin, I got the opportunity to interview the man himself about his new material and about Guns n'roses

The Interview

BH - Hows the tour going?

TS - It's going great thanks. The British people are very friendly and seem quite eager to buy me drinks (laughs) Tommy then walks off to speak to a fan for a few minutes

BH - So you are in the UK at the moment promoting some new material. Is that right?

TS - Are you not wanting to know about Guns n'Roses? (laughs) Yeah, I got a whole bunch of songs that I've written and recorded over the past few months and I'm hoping to put out a record very soon. Did you like the song by the way? (laughs) Tommy then walks away again for a few minutes

BH - How do you know Jesse Malin?

TS - Oh we did some work together a little while back. We're just old friends, that's all

BH - Inevitably, I've been asked to ask you what the latest is with Guns n'roses. I hope you don't mind

TS - Aaaah, I thought you'd mention them at some point *laughs* Well, the new record is currently being mixed, so I've been told, and we are currently planning to get something out in mid-fall or so. Will that do? (laughs)

BH - What's your been the highlight of working with Guns n'roses so far?

TS - I think, for me at least, the best parts are still to come. But I have enjoyed everything so far, being part of the process of putting the new album together. It's been fun. And I can tell you that there is some really good stuff to come out in the future from us. Axl's worked with alot of people over the years. . But for me, like I said, the best parts are definitely still to come. I really do enjoy being part of the Guns n'roses line-up and when I am not there I do actually miss it believe it or not.

BH - You say Axl has worked with many people over the years. Give me a few names

TS - Oooh, he's worked with Queen and Brian May, Elton John, Rivers Cuomo, Lionel Richie, NAS. The list goes on

BH - Lionel Richie? Didn't he sing 'Hello'?

TS - Yeah, that's right. (laughs) Axl got him in to do some vocals and stuff and they have also done a cover of a very famous song. But you will have to wait and see what that is.

BH - So, what are your plans for the future?

TS - World domination by next Spring
