I Do All My Interviews On The

I Was Never Into Hanging Out On The Sunset Strip. When It Came To Guns N' Roses And The Scene That Was Going On Then, That Was Something We Pretty Much Hated. That Was What We Had To Scratch And Claw Through, And As Soon As We Got Established Enough To Leave, We Never Went Back.

My Dad Is A Huge Rock And Roll Lead Guitar Fan. I Didn't Even Really Know That Until Recently. Everything Has To Have A Guitar Solo In It.

I Mean, The Thing About Guns N' Roses Was That It Wasn't Trying To Attach Itself To The '80s, Or Anything That Had To Do With The '80s. It's Just Who We Were At That Time. We Were Doing What We Wanted To Do. That Had Really Nothing To Do With Anything Around Us, Except For The Simple Fact That We Were Rebelling Against That Stuff.

For Me, The Original Guns N' Roses Is The Embodiment Of A Certain Kind Of Chemistry That Really Couldn't Be Duplicated.

If I Could Hang Out With Jimi Hendrix, It Wouldn't Be Over Dinner.
