Axl and I came from completely different backgrounds. Because of that we made an interesting pair trying to figure each other out.

When it comes to actually writing, I like to write in a full room with the amps blasting, and a big drum set.

That's a wonderful side effect of leather pants: when you pee yourself in them, they're more forgiving than jeans.

You know, when you really connect with the instrument and everything just comes out on an emotional level very naturally through your playing. That's, you know, a great night. And I think the reason I love touring so much is you're chasing that high around all the time, trying to have another good night.

Axl [Rose] is not the type of person to make something up. So I was sort of shocked that he went that direction. That caused me a lot of problems.

One time we played a concert in Antwerp, Belgium. At least I thought it was Antwerp, Belgium. Turns out it was a Stop 'n Shop in Wisconsin somewhere, but it was fun man.
