"We ain't dead yet" Slash ('Kerrang' 1996)
"In all honesty, I think Guns N' Roses will be one of those bandsthat will be around forever!" -Slash
"We're the kind of band we liked when we were kids, defenitely a people's band" -Slash
"A bottle (of Jack Daniel's) a day for five years, that's what I was doing... you have really bad breath in the morning - you know, you can't have sex in the morning till you've brushed your teeth, which is a real ******* drag". Slash
"It was success that screwed us up". Slash
"Axl is just an other version of Ayatollah". Slash
"...It's not so much how good a player you are, it's how cool you are". Slash (1989)
"I don't think it (his guitar) is a phallic symbol. I don't think it is a symbol for anything. Basically, as far as what I use it for it's just something to hide behind, because I'm quite shy". Slash (1988)
"I've got my fucking bag full of clothes and that's everything, right? And I've got my cooler. I've got my booze in there and that's all I fucking need". Slash (Aug 1991)
"The biggest fights are between me and Axl. But that's also what makes it happen". Slash (July 1991)
"Me n' Axl are so unalike that we attract each other". Slash ('91)
"I don't do cocaine anymore. Well, only occasionally". Slash (1992)
"I wrote some cool shit when I was high". Slash (1991)
"Rock 'n' Roll is, like,get laid and fucking go out and... well, y'know"... Slash (August 1991)
"The cool thing is that in reality you can't put a label on us. Come down to our shows and watch us. You'll see that there's every kind of fan at our shows. There s the hardcore metal heads, there's the hardcore punks, all kinds of people. There's that whole whitefaced make-up with the black hair scene and then all the really young kids that have just gotten out of junior high school.
"Y'know, you got make choices in life. You can't keep on following bands around your whole life and partying out. One day you're gonna wake up and you'll be 30 years old and you wont have done a damn thing with your life.
If I had one wish. I'd ask for a constant supply of Marlboros.
"I try and get my sleep but I'm just a naturally excitable person and can't get much sleep on the road. We always seem to be on the bus at night. My whole personal life is wrapped up in this band and its real real hard to separate the two. I like to drink and hang out a lot. I have a steady girlfriend, but I only see her twice a year when I'm not touring."
"Longevity ain't a problem for us at all. Longevity is something that everybody else thinks about, not us. We're just going to keep doing this until its no fun anymore. I know that's almost a cliche but it's true. When its not a turn-on anymore, that s when we quit. We're not going to be one of these bands who say. 'well, we got to keep going out there even though we hate-every minute of it."
"I got this reputation for being drunk all the time but I'm really not all that bad. I'm actually a nice shy kid."
"We're not stupid. Axl doesn't do drugs or hardly drink anymore. He lives to be on that stage. He eats, sleeps and plays. That's it. Izzy hardly even smokes anymore. Steven doesn't have any problems in those regards and Duff and I drink. I'm not a practicing drug addict anymore."
"The sense of humor inside the band suits me fine. I don't have to go down to the Comedy Shop to qet a joke. I can find that here."
"The last job I had was in a music store and I got fired. One job I never even showed up at because Motley Crue was recording in L A. so I went to hang out outside the studio.'
"We improvise the whole time we're playing. A lot of times we won't know that song we're gonna do and I'll suggest one and we'll debate it right there on stage. Sometimes I'll start improvising and they'll know not to mess around until I'm finished and I give them a nod. We do go off on our individual things but it somehow all stays together. We do the whole show like that. We screw up every so often but not that much."
"My peers suck. They're really bad. I hope that in another five years Guns N' Roses isn't considered another Poison or Kingdom Come. I hope were remembered as being different. I mean were in a bad time for rock'n roll now. It's like here in the late '80s, people just amt doing anything from their soul. It's turned into a very business and money oriented type industry. I would hope that we're a bit away from that as far as the music goes. Don't forget we didn't have to play any games to get signed. We told people that we were gonna do just what we said we'd do and that's the only way we'd sign a contract. And we stuck to it."
