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"
“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.”

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

“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”
