I Always Loved Rock Guitar. I Just

I've Always Had To Do Things My Way; I Play Guitar My Way; I've Taken Myself To The Edges Of Life My Way; I've Gotten Clean My Way; And I'm Still Here. Whether Or Not I Deserve To Be Is Another Story.

I Mean, The Thing About Guns N' Roses Was That It Wasn't Trying To Attach Itself To The '80s, Or Anything That Had To Do With The '80s. It's Just Who We Were At That Time. We Were Doing What We Wanted To Do. That Had Really Nothing To Do With Anything Around Us, Except For The Simple Fact That We Were Rebelling Against That Stuff.

I Am Married And I Have Two Kids Now, And I Love Them All To Death. So I Am Trying To Put All That Together And Maintain The Same Pace I've Been Keeping. But Really, I Relish What We Do. A Year And A Half Sounds Like A Cakewalk To Me.

When I See Footage Of Guns N' Roses, I See That Fu**ing Hunger And Attitude. You Could Not F**k With Those Five Guys. It Was Just Raw. It Was This Lean, Hungry Thing On Its Way Up. It Was As Sincere As Any Rock 'n' Roll That I've Ever Heard, And I'm Proud Of That.

I Don't Physically Put Appetite For Destruction In And Listen To It, But I Hear It On The Radio Or At Sporting Events Or Wherever Else It Pops Up, And It's Great. I Dig Everything About It. When I Hear Appetite, It Sounds Like Exactly What It Was. It Sounds Like A Record Made By An Angry Bunch Of Kids.
