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!

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

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"

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
Axl: You never know what's gonna happen at a Guns N' Roses concert. We don't even know ourselves from one minute to the next. We don't even use a song list anymore
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!
“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.”
Duff Mckagan, “It’s so easy and other lies”, One of the performances from Use Your Illusion tour
“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.”
