Axl Rose is yet to grant an interview following the release of his 15-years-in-the-works album Chinese Democracy but he has spoken for the first time online.

Taking the form of crazy internet writing Axl has written 4,000 words on the Guns N' Roses forum MYGNR addressing his spilt with Slash, not opening a burger chain, the GNR legacy and Guitar Hero.

Axl has also been chatting to fans at chinesedemocracy.com in which he discusses the "Holden Caulfield Syndrome" and his new hobbies - "Cars, checking out art, F1".

Maybe he could save the Honda team and Woolworths while he's at it.
