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 #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:

Songs That Are Banned:
"Get In The Ring"
In a jukebox near me, back in the early 90s, this song was banned and wasn't allowed to be played on the 'Use Your Illusion II' album as apparently it drew in complaints. So it's a small ban... but it's still a ban! And a public ban too!

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!**
