When That Band Started Out, I Was

You Know, When You Really Connect With The Instrument And Everything Just Comes Out On An Emotional Level Very Naturally Through Your Playing. That's, You Know, A Great Night. And I Think The Reason I Love Touring So Much Is You're Chasing That High Around All The Time, Trying To Have Another Good Night.

The Last Time I Talked To Axl Was In 1996. That Was The Last Time We Exchanged Any Sort Of Words. There Was A Rumor That I Talked To Him A While Back [and Asked To Rejoin The Band]. I Did Go To His House One Night, And I Talked To His Assistant About Something That Had To Do With This Lawsuit That We Were Involved In. But It Got Turned Into Something Else. He Went Out And Made A Press Release That Said I Actually Spoke To Him, Which Was All Bullshit. I Was Really Shocked.

That's A Wonderful Side Effect Of Leather Pants: When You Pee Yourself In Them, They're More Forgiving Than Jeans.

Whenever Society Gets Too Stifling And The Rules Too Complex, There's Some Sort Of Musical Explosion.

What Does Surprise Me, Though, Is The Amount Of Attention This Band [guns'n'roses] Has Garnered 11 Years After The Original Lineup Broke Up. That's An Interesting Phenomenon. It Was Even Interesting Back In The Day. I Mean, [we Were] This Glorified Garage Band. It Was A Great Band, But It Was Not The Kind Of Band You Expected To Become What It Has.
