Found this at HTGTH there are another supposed 35 pages
Quote GNRBABY
Here are a few pages from a GNR script in the works. I can't tell you where I got this and could get in trouble for posting it but what the hell - you deserve it!
The following ia a scene from the early days - mostly about the "tour from hell" when the band drove to washington
from gnrontour.com:
06.08.85 - Rock Theater, Seattle, WA
opening act: The Fastbacks
audio/video recording?: no
notes: This is the infamous 'road trip from hell' tour, going up the West Coast.
ok here is the script:
EXT. CALIFORNIA STATE HIGHWAY-NIGHT
The old white car drives along a dark empty highway with Izzy
Driving, Axl in shotgun, Slash, Duff, and Steven ride in
back. The two roadies fallow behind in the U-Haul.
INT. OLD WHITE CAR-CALIFORNIA STATE HWY-NIGHT
The five bandmates are in heavy discussion. They drink beer,
cheap wine, and smoke cigs. The Misfits "Attitude" plays
softly on the radio.
SLASH
...That's what it's about for me
man...The music. The chemistry. And
just being a real fuckin' band...
IZZY
I'd be happy to just record some
records and play small rooms, just
like the fuckin' Ramones. Y'know
they got their own thing going and
they keep shit simple.
Duff Takes a swig of cheap wine.
DUFF
If you wanna keep it simple we
should write a fuckin' song called
Night Train, 'cause this shit fucks
you up!
The car erupts with laughter.
SLASH
But that's what it's about man,
real shit...
A terrible noise comes from the engine.
AXL
That sounded like some real shit!
IZZY
(griping the wheel tightly)
Fuck!
Thick white smoke pours from the hood as the terrible noise
gets worse. They are forced to pull over to the side of the
road. The U-Haul follows behind them.
EXT. CALIFORNIA DESERT ROADSIDE-HOURS LATER
The sun has risen and so is the desert heat. The band stands
around, helpless. They are decked out in stage clothes and
make-up. Absolute frustration sets in.
AXL
What the FUCK Man! This tour was
doomed before it started. The
"Suicide Tour" - we fuckin' nailed
that one!
METAL HEAD#1
(greasy finger pointing)
Paul and I can go get help in the U
Haul
AXL
We have no God damn money! And our
gear won't get to Seattle on time!
Everyone perks up and pauses.
AXL
FUCK! Son of a Bitch!!!
SLASH
Fuck it, let's have them drive our
shit to Seattle. We'll either get
there, or we won't
Duff takes a step forward.
DUFF
Fuck it, I'm in
IZZY
Alright...
STEVEN
Let's do it
Axl looks up at the blistering sun, then back to his band
mates.
AXL
I guess this is where we find out
if it's meant to be or not.
EXT. DESERT ROADSIDE-HOURS LATER
The band walks down the road with arm and thumb extended.
It's getting very hot for leather clothes; Sweat drips off
their bodies, their make-up is smeared to help them look even
more freakish than they already do. Slash carries his Guitar.
STEVEN
This sucks...
DUFF
(to Slash) I can't believe you
brought that guitar
SLASH
It's the only proof we're musicians
A car passes without stopping.
DUFF
Well, it hasn't helped for shit!
SLASH
It doesn't help when they find out
your not a chick either!
Duff bows up to Slash.
DUFF
Fuck You!
Axl gets between them. Everyone stops walking.
AXL
Is this what we're gonna do? Kick
each others asses in the middle of
the fucking desert?!
Axl grabs Duff.
AXL (CONT'D)
I'll kick both your fucking asses
right now! God Damn it!
Axl lets go of Duff and steps back. Everyone is shocked.
AXL (CONT'D)
This is it guys! We're at our wits
fucking end! I won't let it go down
like this! We're fuckin' better
than that. I think fate brought us
together for a reason. I think we
where meant to get stranded in this
shit hole desert.
Axl pauses and looks over his band mates. Sweat pours off his
forehead as his eye make-up drips from underneath his
mirrored shades.
AXL (CONT'D)
To see what we're made of. Plain
and simple.
Axl removes his shades and looks to his band mates with
conviction.
AXL (CONT'D)
You said it yourself Slash, "we
either make it or we don't". I know
we can make it! When we play
together I can feel it!
Somehow we're gonna get to that gig
in Seattle!
EXT. SEATTLE, WA: BUSY STREET-NIGHT
A '78 VW Bus pulls up to the club 35 minutes after showtime.
Two middle aged hippie chicks sit in the cab of the bus. The
band pours out the side door
AXL
(to chicks)
Just park anywhere you can...
The band notices their U-Haul isn't around.
STEVEN
Where's Danny and Paul
DUFF
They better fuckin' be here!
AXL
Izzy, let's go inside, you guys
look for 'em
INT. THE BLACK WALL CLUB- CON'T
Axl and Izzy enter the club. It's more than half empty and
crowd seems less than enthusiastic. They are spotted by the
owner
CLUB OWNER
Where have you been? Where is your
equipment?
The owner looks over Axl and Izzy
CLUB OWNER (CONT'D)
You guys look like absolute shit
He sniffs.
CLUB OWNER (CONT'D)
You smell like shit too!.. You
better not sound like shit!- You
got 10 minutes!
Axl and Izzy spot the rest of the band, who waves them over
towards the stage.
SLASH
Danny and Paul didn't make it
AXL
They didn't make it?
SLASH
You know how Paul had that gas
card?..
AXL
Yeah...
SLASH
Well, it got ruined. He stuck it in
the fuckin' visor and it melted
Axl gives a look of bewilderment.
SLASH (CONT'D)
No shit, man...I can't believe it
either, but their stuck in Frisco
right now...
AXL
How are we supposed play?
SLASH
The opening bands gonna lend us
their shit...
Axl perks up.
AXL
Fuck it, let's kick their ass!
The band takes stage, looking like they got dragged through a
car wash, and rips into a passionate version of "Reckless
Life". The sparse crowd gathers in front of the stage and
rocks out.
CROSS-FADE TO:
EXT. THE COUNTRY CLUB: 6 MONTHS LATER
The sign outside reads "Tonight! Guns n' Roses". The sidewalk
in front of the Whiskey is packed with people.
INT. THE COUNTRY CLUB-(CON'T)
The band is on stage firing through their set. The crowd is
going nuts. People are taking shots while crowd surfing and
moshing; groupies jump on stage and attack the band members
well, members. The band finishes "Reckless Life", then Axl
addresses the crowd.
AXL
Y' know, about 6 months ago we went
on our first tour...
Crowd cheers-band members swig whiskey and light up.
AXL (CONT'D)
Yeah, yeah...but it wasn't that
great. Ya see, our fuckin' car
broke down in the middle of the
desert about 150 miles out of
L.A...
Half the crown cheers, half the crowd mutter. Slash laughs.
AXL (CONT'D)
We had no money...we didn't have
shit! But what we did have was the
idea of- if we made it out of this
shit hole desert alive...
Axl Looks over the crowd and his band mates.
AXL
Everything else would be So Fuckin'
Easy!
The band breaks into "It so Easy" and the crowd erupts.
