When you start a rock n' roll band, you've gotta fake it till you make it. You begin by doin' what you love- and what you love is usually what some other people have already done. It just depends on how much of a fool you make of yourself along the way to finding your own sound, assuming you find it.

Music expresses what cannot be put into words I like to think, and I think the band makes a good go at it.

I can't live off the ego.

Guns 'N' Roses music was part of the fabric of all people.

I'm really just a country boy.

I said the same things to Axl [Rose] that everyone said to me when me and Joe Perry were fighting.

I had gotten one of the first Korg synthesizers with 300 presets.
