Originally, I Wanted To Call The Band

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.

The Last Time I Talked To Axl Was In 1996. That Was The Last Time We Exchanged Any Sort Of Words. There Was A Rumor That I Talked To Him A While Back [and Asked To Rejoin The Band]. I Did Go To His House One Night, And I Talked To His Assistant About Something That Had To Do With This Lawsuit That We Were Involved In. But It Got Turned Into Something Else. He Went Out And Made A Press Release That Said I Actually Spoke To Him, Which Was All Bullshit. I Was Really Shocked.

I Don't Physically Put Appetite For Destruction In And Listen To It, But I Hear It On The Radio Or At Sporting Events Or Wherever Else It Pops Up, And It's Great. I Dig Everything About It. When I Hear Appetite, It Sounds Like Exactly What It Was. It Sounds Like A Record Made By An Angry Bunch Of Kids.

Restlessness Is A Fickle Catalyst; It Can Drive You To Achieve Or It Can Coax Your Demise, And Sometimes The Choice Isn't Yours
