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
“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: 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

“When we started to write the songs that would become Appetite, it was clear that Slash saw this as a chance to finally perfect his sense of melody on leads and his crunch when it came to riffage. Slash wrote and perfected those classic parts from some dark and beautiful place within himself. The shy introvert Id first met had at last found the true medium to express himself”

“One evening, walking out with my belly filled with its meal of the day, I saw a guy doing business on the phone—a guy dressed like Johnny Thunders. Taking a second glance, I recognized the guy. It was Izzy Stradlin. We had met a few weeks prior, when we both turned up at the same girl’s place on the same night. It could have been awkward, but we both shrugged it off and started talking about music”

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!
