He tells Classic Rock, "When I was in the middle of this process there were a lot of singers’ names who flew through my mind during the process.
You are living in ‘Singer Land’ so all you are thinking about is singers .. The thought of him crossed my mind at one point. I thought, ‘Axl could sing the shit out of any of these songs’."

He adds, "I wanted to put the record out in this millennium." (LR/CRM/Z

At the time it was probably better for them t hat they didn’t know me, because I was pretty wild." Barnes also discovered his new-found daughter Bennett went to the same school as his grown-up son David Campbell and the pair knew each other du ring their formative years without ever realising they were related.
Bennett says, "The funny thing is that everyone knew David was Jimmy’s son, and we used to pay him out (ridicule him) for it. I remember telling him: ‘Yeah right, everyone’s a friend or a cousin or a son of Barnesy ar ound here’. And then I learned that I was his daughter!"
