AXL ABOUT HANGING OUT WITH OTHER GNR MEMBERS

"I love to get ripped, and I can't do that on the road because of the demands of singing live. So I have to stay away from the others. I want to make sure that we can still do the show"

Axl about his different voices

MG: How do you do it?

Axl: I think I'm actually a second baritone. I used to take choir classes and sit there reading music and seeing if I could get away with fooling the teacher by singing other people's parts. We had this teacher who was pitch-perfect. He had ears like a bat, man. Like radar. So, in order to get away with singing someone else's part, you'd really have to get it down. Or else, he'd know exactly what corner of the room it's coming from. So, I guess I really started working on my different voices back then by trying to mess with my teacher’s head! (laughing) He used to wonder how come he’s hearing a soprano in the bass section!

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

“The day of the rescheduled show arrived. It rained and rained. It continued to rain during the show. Then, as Axl played the opening chords of “November Rain,’ the sun broke through the clouds. Everyone in the audience crossed themselves. After the song, the rain began again.”

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!

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

“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”
