Part of recovery is relapse. I dust myself off and move forward again.

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.

I'm very influenced by jazz drummers. I always liked drummers like Roger Taylor, Keith Moon, Ian Paice, John Densmore. I just learned from playing to those drummers.

In every language you can imagine I've had people say 'Appetite For Destruction' is the soundtrack to their lives. I don't think you could say something nicer to an entertainer or performer - can't get more respectful.

Don't try to follow any trends, just concentrate on writing great songs and knowing your instrument. All the other stuff will fall into place.

You figure that time could heal all wounds, but some people just really hold a crazy grudge.

One thing about Texas people, they're very passionate about their Rock N' Roll, and I love it.
