«His Howl Was Pure, Unadulterated Rage And Anguish, Not A Vocal Exercise; Clearly, The First Time That

☆˙∘ Izzy Stradlin and Tracii Guns, 1988 ☆˙∘

You uncovered this outlaw soul

You should've gone, baby, long ago

But you shined a light where it was dark

On this wasted heart

“Steven Adler was really nice, and expressed himself with an infectious, almost childlike enthusiasm.

He said, "Listen, we're going to be great — going to get the feet stompin' and the hands clappin."

He still says that to this day when he climbs behind a drum kit and gets excited: going to get the feet stomping and the hands clapping.”

“The first time I discovered Night Train wine was on one of these epic nocturnal flyering campaigns—which were best accomplished while drinking from a brown paper bag. Afterward I was happy to find that the liquor store around the corner from our storage space also stocked it. At $1.29 a bottle, Night Train instantly became a band staple; we started piecing together the song “Nightrain” a week later while rehearsing before another flyer-posting outing”

AXL ABOUT GNR FIRST LINEUP

Axl: This lineup has been together for two years. Izzy and I have been playing together for about 12 years. He started out on drums, then switched to bass and finally guitar. At one point he was singing and I was playing keyboards and bass.

Izzy: I couldn't sing, so that didn't work out! (Laughs)

Axl: Then, about three years ago, I was in a band called Hollywood Rose and then another one called LA Guns, which is how I got to know the rest of the guys.

Eventually we decided that this was the right lineup and that we were gonna stick together

KELLY NICKELS OF L.A. GUNS ABOUT HIS FAV BANDS

WHAT IF YOU COULD TURN SOME FANS ONTO A FEW GROUPS THEY PROBABLY HAVEN'T HEARD?

Kelly: My favorite band is Dogs D'Amour! I love them because they are mostly acoustic now. I love their songs and attitude.

Their singer, Tyla, is a great lyricist. I'd definitely recommend them. I also listen to a lot of Elvis. Of course, the Sex Pistols, Jerry Lee Lewis, And some Pato Banton, he's a reggae guy. I love reggae! And I listen to a lot of really early rock songs on K-EARTH (a classic rock station in L.A.). Those songs were killer, man. They didn't even have distortion and they still rock!

“Oh, and also we didn't write songs about elves and demons and shit—unless, of course, you considered Mr. Brownstone a demon”

And when you're in need of someone

My heart won't deny you

So many seem so lonely

With no one left to cry to, baby
