I remember when this interview came on MTV. I was really into GNR (classic lineup) in the 80s. I got into them about 1988, and there was no one taht was like them at all. When you watch this, and see what happened to them today it kinda show how volatile the band was. I don't believe they will ever reunite the original band. If it did happen, this would be as big I believe as DRL rejoining Van Halen.
i wish so bad i could have seen them back in the day. growing up in a small town in the middle of nowhere when gnr were going strong, their concerts were hours away and i had no car. fuck! finally saw them this year (at 31 years old) but goddamn i would of loved to at least see them in 91.
Best Hard Rock band ever existed, to bad Axl don't talk to the members of the band, they could, you know, be all again, as a band, as friends, they used to be
I remember when this first aired on MTV. I had recorded it on VHS cassette. After this aired they played Guns 1988 MTV Ritz show. These were the days!!! I wish I had that old cassette still! I am amazed I found this on youtube! Thank you so much for posting this brings back many memories.
'appetite' is my fave album ever. it's perfect from beginning to end. guns n' roses is my favorite band of all time. they need to put the damn differences aside and save the ill-fated rock of today!
@moreblack The comparison was the climate of popular music being the same 20 years later, and the type of music that broke loose not a direct comparison of Led Zeppelin and Guns n' Roses.
The only "Metal" laber i have seen used on Guns is: Sleaze Metal, that genre is Hard rock but, late 80`s hard rock. but i have never seen Gnr refered to as Heavy metal or any other sub genre of it.
Axl: "Drugs are something we stay away from... it almost broke up the band"... Haha, yeah sure!!! How ironic isn't that statement in retrospect
