I've never considered musical equipment very sacred.

My body is damaged from music in two ways. I have a red irritation in my stomach. It's psychosomatic, caused by all the anger and the screaming. I have scoliosis, where the curvature of your spine is bent, and the weight of my guitar has made it worse. I'm always in pain, and that adds to the anger in our music.

Here we are now, entertain us.

Ever since the beginning of rock and roll, there's been an Axl Rose. And it's just boring. It's totally boring to me.

Load up our guns Bring your friends It's fun to lose and to pretend

I would love to be erased from our association with Pearl Jam or the Nymphs and other first time offenders.

dreaming of the person you want to be is wasting the person you already are.
