Axel Rudi Pell - Time Of The Truth

Due to problems with his neighbor, Axl lived in various hotels, most often in the Sunset Marquises, and in his new home in Ma Libu. After concerts in Rio, he almost moved to Record Plant, where he recorded vocals. Photographer Neil Preston found Axl in Studio A, which he equipped with a bed and exercise bike. “He also had a punching bag,” Preston recalls, “and two pinball machines: with KISS and Elton John. No one was allowed to enter the studio when Axl was there, but he allowed me to film how he plays pinball. He looked calm and said that he was working tirelessly on a new album. " According to the studio staff, Axl went to sleep every two to three days. He seemed to be holding on to pure adrenaline and nervous energy. Izzy Stradlin, whom everyone considered the only calm member of the group,I tried to discuss the time of completion with Axl. “I tried to talk to him,” Izzy later explained. “It seemed to me, if you made a work schedule, you could come to the studio at a certain time ... And he yelled at me right away.”
