I just had lunch with Slash two days ago. He loves Axl. He holds no grudges towards him. Twenty years of great music wasn't created because of some stupid grudge. That's a shame.

I just got tired of being sick and tired and feeling down. Unfortunately, you don't realize this until you're getting sober but the reason why you're depressed all the time is it's the drugs that are depressing you.

I have to say, the coolest person I ever met in my whole life is John Mellencamp. I never met a person who was more secure about himself and his person.

I used to wake up in the morning and say, 'Oh, God.' Now I wake up in the morning and look forward to life.

Drummers are conductors - we set the pace for the music - so if you're not relaxed and feeling right, the whole thing goes out the window.

You can have all the riches and success in the world, but if you dont have your health, you have nothing.

It's hard to find five musicians who know what the other is going to do before they do it. And that's what we had in GN'R.
