West Arkeen was a genius! He wrote "it's so Easy" along with some of GnR's best material including the never released "Crash Diet" which can be found afte doing a search on YouTube.
I remember seeing this when I was a kid on MTV and asking my brother "who is that guy with Axl". Neither of us knew. Gotta love youtube, never would have thought I'd see this again.
He had been sober for a year, then his indoor barbecue exploded on him causing severe burns on 2/3 of his body. This sent him into a severe depression which led him back to the drugs. I believe it was an accidental heroin overdose. I had an opportunity to visit him only days before his death and never made it. I will always regret it. God Bless you West!!! A great no-nonsense musician. xoxo You are missed!
This performance is marvelous!!! Axl's voice sounds absolutely amazing without a mike West Arkeen co-wrote many of my favourite songs!!! So sad that he's dead. Light him a candle for me.

He seemed drunk with that head hanging. Was this after he won the suit for the name of guns n´ roses? Anyway, I like that song but any song of AFD will always be better.
I am the bartender you can see in the background,it was a great day and a great time.I had a good 1 to 1 chat with Axl that day, early signs of phychosis had set in even then !
Yeah, could you tell us more about what he said that day?. What early signs of? Psychosis?. Must be great having presenced such an intimate moment, like singing in a bar, from someone like Axl Rose.
