The only time I think I've ever gotten sick of playing Guns and Roses songs really was during - after having played them in Guns and Roses, and then in Snakepit, and then playing 'It's So Easy' and 'Brownstone' in Velvet Revolver.

Rock n' roll is about attitude and rebellion. It's supposed to be fun and spontaneous.

When we weren't being transcendent we specialized in self-inflicted disaster.

I once asked Axl why he left the 'E' off his name. He started crying and said he thought he'd spelled it right.

A lot of vices that I've had over the years were always to make up for some sort of character deficiency, one of them being shyness.

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.

The era itself has nothing to do with anything. We weren't really attached to that at all. I just saw this thing where they had a Poison concert on VH1, and to me, that is being attached to an era.
