One thing you can’t take away from Guns N’ Roses’ singer Axl Rose — the man is articulate.

In a new AOL interview, conducted with his road manager and former music journalist, Del James, Rose spouts at length about Chinese Democracy, why the original GNR will never reunite, and his tastes in drum sounds. In great detail, and with nary a curse word in sight.

On a potential reunion of the classic lineup, Rose says:

It’s not some place I want to be or have any interest in being. If I believed in it in regard to the music, not in direction so much but in how it feels and to what degree, then maybe it’d be another story. I’m in no way trying to be offensive to anyone here, and I’m allowed to have my own feelings in regard to what inspires me, not someone else. Other than a one-off or something, I don’t really do songs because someone else likes them.
