Then Duff told them some of his rockstar stories, like drinking throw-up because there was alcohol in it, and so the mountain bikers had to admit that they ''partied like mountain bikers''. Ok, let me make sure I've got this right, Duff actually drank vomit because of the alcohol content? Holy cannoli, I thought I had heard it all, but alas, I have not.😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read this a long time ago (in a galaxy far far away) so I might be a little off on the details, but here it is: It's the UYI tour, another night where the band's been sitting around for a long time drinking and waiting for Axl, so they could go on stage. So finally Matt's had enough, and says "I'm going to find out what the hell is taking him so long" (to the horror of the rest of the band). He heads out to look, and eventually enters a room where Axl is sitting on a chair in the middle of the room, holding a shotgun. Axl says, "You can leave now". So Matt turned around and got the hell out of there as fast as he could. I'd like to know why Axl's issues were still causing him to be persistently late in 2010 but after improving a lot up until 2014 he suddenly managed to be punctual and incident free from 2016 on. Because back in the day his whole thing was that he needed time to get his head straight to perform whilst simultaneously having therapy for all of the stuff he found out about his childhood.

The fears of getting irrelevant probably made him understand he wasnt better than anyone who was there to see his perform or his bandmates, people have lifes to live. He probably learnt what is disrespect really about. Edited January 22, 2019 by default_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wondering where's izzy? Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 In Duff's first book when he talks about meeting Axl again for the first time in over a decade. Made me tear up a bit because clearly Duff didn't view Axl as quite the same monster everyone else did. And when they go out to dinner together after Duff is sober Axl orders a drink, pauses and then says, "Make that a virgin." Thought it was sweet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite may be before this when he went to his room and security tried stop him saying, "He's taking a shower," and "Don't go in" and Duff nonchalantly says, "Don't worry, it's not like I've never seen him naked before."

Legendador Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 The best story to me is from Duff (a 90's interview talking about Steven). He was tired of seeing Steven battling with drugs, so he grabbed his shotgun and went to the apartment of Steven's dealer to scare him off. He them proceeded to bash the dealer's apartment door - full on "pulp fiction" mode -, but got the wrong apartment and broke in a random family's apartment. There's is this other Duff story: when he punched Chris Holmes (from W.A.S.P.) for saying that black men shoudn't have tattoos to Slash's face at the Rainbow (I guess 89 or 90).

tkarmy Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I like in Duff's book that Sly Stone use to just drop by Duff and his girlfriend's shabby little apartment to smoke insane amounts of crack and then mumble gibberish and leave.

Rock the Cock Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I'm almost sure I remember reading this, although it could be my youthful imagination - but wasn't there a story about Steven Tyler bumming Steven Adler on a tour bus?

Popular Post KeyserSoze Posted January 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Am I the only one who read Craig Duswalts book??? Theres a bunch of behind the scenes stories in there that occur during the height of UYI GNR. From Axls "private" life of that era, to how Craig was fired multiple nights for not knowing how to work Axls teleprompter I don't know what the general opinion of Duswalt is, but he seems to be a funny and quirky dude. The kind of guy Axl may look at and be like "who the hell is this guy?" - the exact type of person he probably thrives around. Look at Slash. Anyway, theres one part of Duswalts book that always stood out to me. Let me set the scene for you: It's late 1992. GNR are ending the year on a high note in South America. The Montreal and St. Louis riots are months in the past at this point. The band fly into Venezuela literal days before citizens tried to overthrow their own government. (read about that here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Venezuelan_coup_d'état_attempts) They then fly to Bogata for 2 sold out shows. Because of the coup, half of the bands equipment can't leave Venezuela. The first night of the show is cancelled, but fans are told they can bring their tickets to the second night and they will be honored. With tensions and emotions high, a stadium full of 80,000 fans in a venue with a capcity of just under 49,000 (these are Goldsteins words), and already an hour late, Axl tells Duswalt he isn't doing the show then goes back in his room and closes the door. If I remember correctly, nobody wanted to tell Doug, but finally Duswalt does it. Doug replies with "If Axl does't show up in 15 minutes, the police are going to tell the crowd the show is cancelled and to go home." Duswalt then bum rushes Axls room where Axl is on the couch. Duswalt tells Axl his sister is there and she will be unsafe if he doesn't show. Axl responds with "Fine." With alllllll of that time wasting, Axl finally got to the venue. That was the night that this happened: November Rain had been on the charts for 60 weeks in Columbia up until that point. Reading stories like that, its honestly amazing to hear and see how the band made it out of that time fully alive and well. If it wasn't one thing, it was another and the whole thing could have imploded at any moment, and at many points did. But all of this marked by the most amazing highs and lows the average person DREAMS of having in their life time.

I stood up. “What the fuck did you say to my friend?” “You heard. hooray for tolerance!s shouldn’t wear tattoos.” I slugged the guy. Then I slugged him again. And again. He reminded me of the bullies back in Seattle, the meatheads who beat up punks in packs, who called everyone hooray for tolerance!s. I’m not sure how many times I hit him - I just completely lost it - but he went down. I found out later that three of his ribs were broken.“ - Duff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
