Freddie Mercury and Elton John are, like, two of the biggest Influences in my whole life. And probably always will be.
Axl RoseAt times I enjoy writing and at others times I just hate it because it's definitely having to go back and experience some pain and express what you really feel.

Axl RoseIf someone asked me if I could have anything in the world, what would l want? If l could own anything, like owning a piece of art, l think it would be Elton John's publishing, on his first seven albums. I don't want the money. Being able to own those songs Is like owning a painting of someone you admire.
