“That's the thing about Axl [and] he never changed. Everybody thought he did but he was consistent with me right up until the end. There was nothing that caught me by surprise. I knew the same guy all the way throughout. And I have to say he's probably the most loyal individual I've ever met. Certainly the most loyal band member I've ever worked with. If you're on his team, you're on his team to the end.'” shutup

“I was telling you earlier, if anybody fucks with my homeboy here, Slash - and it's happened before, like if a big guy was gonna hit him - I've stepped right in front of him.
S: Sure, and I can hide in the crook of his knee...

“That was the moment I had to walk onstage and say, "Tonight's performance by Guns N' Roses, unfortunately, will not occur due to a medical emergency." Immediately, people started throwing shit at me and it got ugly fast. The crowd rioted and it spilled out into the parking lot, and at least one car was turned over and set on fire.'” valid reaction to being unable to see prime gnr i fear …

“Whatever the background, the results were dynamite, and can still be seen on YouTube today. Niven is right. This was Guns N' Roses, at their earliest, now classic best. When Slash dived into the audience at the climax of 'Rocket Queen', you could almost touch the heat from the crowd, escaping, hissing like bad gas from the manholes of New York City.” the concept of rewatching THE full concert video w a backstory
