If you weren't alive or old enough at this time, you'll never know how big Guns actually were. Biggest band in the world for a good 5-6 years before they imploded.

I was a teenager when they hit big and they were a rocket ship. Massive, exciting, musical, edgy… photogenic. It was the era in music where bands worked hard to get known, unlike the studio picked, industry plants.

I am old enough and was at the Illusions concert at Giants Stadium. The biggest band of all time and the one I followed religiously on MTV. I recorded every interview they made as it was happening. I am still dedicated even though they did "implode". Their songs are embedded in my rocking mind. Sus

That was in the days that a major album release was a major event ( I remember how big the release of the "Use Your Illusion" albums was. I managed to get the first one at a small record store on release day (my Mom had to buy it for me since I was only 11)).

Great to hear Slash verbally express himself for like 2 seconds here ❤

I love sm how caring and down to earth axl and slash are but mainly with axl with how he praises Slash and talks about his passion and personality.

It’s great that axl admitted that he was psychotic this very early on. He was telling everyone who he was and then they acted surprised when he brought it out in his behaviors.

Slash and Axl were obviously buddies. It's a shame Slash had such animosity towards him when he wrote his book. He still came across as having a ton of respect for Axl but the book would've been better and had more stories if they'd been amicable at that time

You can't blame him though. Axl was completely to blame for the demise of the band in the mid 90's. He gained complete ownership of GNR and tried to turn Slash and Duff into his on-salary employees. Totally understandable that they basically said fuck you and left.

@@jumanism5681 - Duff was sober at that point. So trying to say that Axl was the only one capable of moving the band forward is not accurate. He also fired Matt and Gilby without consulting the other band members. Things like that were exactly why the band imploded. Axl basically became a dictator.

It's so accurate what they said about each other.. how Axl described Slash's personality and guitar skills, how he described Izzy.. how Slash said only the combination of 5 of them could've made GnR.. it's like they knew it all yet threw it all away for egos and drugs. Not to much surprise, they thrived mostly on the GnR material throughout rest of their careers, although each of them tried their best to get their shit together and work seriously

When they talk about growing as musicians, I think they grew more than any over heavy band. Look at ACDC. They kept writing the same songs, just slightly different. But Us your illusion's was a much more mature records.

When you have 2 beast in one group thats not easy

It's always funny for me to see interviews with guys (chain) smoking. That's something you don't and most likely won't see these days (except for maybe vaping, but I don't see that either).

8:34 wait for Axl's reply hahaha

These were two nice young guys . Intelligent , gentle and so unbelievably gifted . I'd liked to have called them friends

Pretty sure this interview first aired on MTV leading up to the World Premiere Video Live from the Ritz. The MTV concert was recorded 2/2/88 but it didn’t air on television until April 1988. I still love GNR and my wife and I saw the reunion tour like 4-5 times. GNR forever.

Did he just say that he met the subject of "My Michelle" when she was 13 and he went out with her a "little later on"..?
