Guns & Roses, Guns and RosesQuotes:
I discovered that I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a Great White or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot. I'm late to everything. I've always wanted to have it written in my will that when I die, the coffin shows up a half hour late and says on the side, like in gold, 'Sorry I'm Late'. Fear is where there is no love. Love is where there is no fear. ~Axl Rose~

Guy #1 dropped the gold and someone said, "Yay! I'm rich!" Guy #2 dropped the silver and someone said, "Ouch! A big box of silver landed on my head!" Guy #3 dropped the nuclear bomb and Axl Rose said, "Slash played a guitar solo and the house blew up!" Submitted by: Amanda

Band Name Origins:
- Guns 'n' Roses got there name when Tracii Guns of "L.A. Guns" started a band with Axle Rose. They didn't get along, so Tracii left the band and started "L.A. Guns" while Axle stuck with the name "Guns 'n' Roses." Submitted by: Mark Godwin
- Slash said in an interview on Conan O'Brien that "Originally I wanted to call the band Guns N' Robots. I still believe that if we had just called ourselves 'Guns N' Robots' we'd still be together." Submitted by: The Robmaster 2000!

Story about this misheard lyric by: Susan Turner 17 yrs old and jammin' to G-n-R in my old Ford Escort. My friend and I have the windows down, the music cranked up and we are practically screaming as we sing along to the radio. At some point, my friend reaches over to cut the music to ask me, " What are you singing?" My innocent reply, "Take me down to the Very Last City". She says, "It's Paradise City!" "How do you know?!" "Because that's the name of the song!" |

Song Lyrics That Mention Brand Name Products:
"Nightrain"
The Lyrics: I'm on the nightrain, bottoms up
I'm on the nightrain, fill my cup I'm on the nightrain, ready to crash and burn I never learn I'm on the nightrain, I love that stuff I'm on the nightrain, I can never get enough Product Brand Name: Night Train Express, usually abbreviated to Night Train, typically contains 17.5% ABV. Night Train Express has been condemned by some civic leaders who think inexpensive high alcohol content drinks contribute to vagrancy and public drunkenness. A full bottle was consumed by Joliet Jake in The Blues Brothers, after which he holds his head and refers to it as a "mean wine". The song "Nightrain" by rock band Guns N' Roses also pays tribute to this spirit.

Crime Records:
"Riot act"
Rose had pleaded innocent to four misdemeanor counts of assault and one count of property damage stemming from the riot that broke out during his July 2, 1991, concert at the Riverport Amphitheatre in Maryland Heights, just outside St. Louis. Videotape showed Rose diving into the concert crowd when he spotted someone with a camera, then punching a man. He then smashed his microphone on the stage and stormed off, ending the show early. Several thousand dollars' worth of property damage was reported by the outdoor theater from the ensuing riot. Gregory said he found that Rose was guilty of the charges "beyond a reasonable doubt." "Well, well, thanks to the lame ass security, I'm goin' home!" **BASH!**
