little_witch Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 In the spirit of something new to talk about, Axl has said some pretty memorable things in interviews, rants, etc... Any favorites?I like"But you can't save noboby else. You'll be lucky if you can save your own *ss."Paris 92and"...But I have no intention......and I never did......of denying you......something you enjoy."RIR3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gcam Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 I have to say that my favourite Axl quote is from the cover of Lies. About "Patience" he says, "Patience, ya try ta keep it! But it comes and goes!"Gcam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docmagoo Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 I really like this Axl's statement:" I personally love our songs. The bottom line is this, if this were all to finish tomorrow then, at least, I've got 'em taped. I'm not writing this for anybody who listens to it. I'm doing it for me"Another quote I like his this (Slash or Duff talkin' about Axl : Axl wants to do stuff his way, at his pace, in his time...)

one_weak Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 what was funny was during its so easy at RIR3, "get that guy outta hear, that guy right there, are you listening to me mister security man? that guy, gone, yeah goin'" it cool cause he actually says it in time with the music,, one line, then the riff, then another line, then after last line solo... that was cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Oh yeah, I'm not really sure which show it was exactly, I'm pretty sure it was sometime in 1993, but during 'Wild Horses,' Axl sings 'Wild horses couldn't suck my d-ck' instead of 'Wild horses couldn't drag me away'...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Another pretty, um, kool one:Before 'Nightrain' in early '86, Axl said, "I dedicate this song to Dizzy and his hand." I take it he's referring to Dizzy Reed because he was friends with him during the early days of GN'R. I think it was kool how he recognized Dizzy for being a major drunk, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madison Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 One of my favorite rants came during the Albany show in 2002. "I mean, Slash may sound like a De La Hoya, but he's the fucking Vargas. That's just how it is. And just because you've got a bunch of guys agreeing doesn't mean shit. The truth is that they're a bunch of bad cops and I'm the fucking Serpico and they can "suck my dick!" .." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G n F n R Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Axl: There's something really wild, for me, in performing "Estranged" 'cause all of a sudden I realized I don't want to be sitting at the piano playing this song to keep the energy of the song moving live. I need to be moving around and there's something about being able to be up there moving around during it that's actually a present, a gift or something. Being able to dance and rejoice in a song. That came from situations and emotions that were killing me. You know, we pretty much mean everything we say. We don't put anything down that we're not willing to stand behind or attempt to stand by for the duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr-fukaji Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 what happened to those people without names member groups or gender tags or anything?how did they suddenly dissapear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G n F n R Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Axl: I feel "November Rain" and "Estranged" have a chance at getting embedded in music culture, so I'm gonna fight for them and seed them with as many people as possible. I get bummed when I hear a great track off a record and the artist says, "Yeah, but the public wasn't into it." I'm like, what do you mean? The public wasn't into "Jungle," either.Not an Axl quote but I thought it was cool.Tracii Guns: When we were doing that EP for L.A. Guns, like '83? He was playing "November Rain" - and it was called "November Rain" ... you know, on piano. Way back then. It was the only thing he knew how to play, but it was his. He'd go: Someday this song is gonna be really cool. And I'd go: It's cool now. But it's not done, you know, he used to say. And like anytime we'd be at a hotel or anywhere there'd be a piano, he'd just kinda play that music. And I'd go: When are you gonna finish that already, you know? And he'd go: I don't know what to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teroz Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 At some point during the show, Axl says, "“Psychologically, you could consider this a reunion tour, because I’ve managed to find enough pieces of my mind in order to be with you here tonight.” Axl 2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madison Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 what happened to those people without names member groups or gender tags or anything?how did they suddenly dissapear?This thread is an old thread that started when we were using the old forum.At the old forum, members could delete their own accounts, and when they did, their names and member groups would disappear (although their IP numbers stay). When we upgraded to this forum, that feature was no longer available. Eric has asked if it can be added, but it can't -- at least not in this version.
