As For Guns N' Roses, I Don't

What Does Surprise Me, Though, Is The Amount Of Attention This Band [guns'n'roses] Has Garnered 11 Years After The Original Lineup Broke Up. That's An Interesting Phenomenon. It Was Even Interesting Back In The Day. I Mean, [we Were] This Glorified Garage Band. It Was A Great Band, But It Was Not The Kind Of Band You Expected To Become What It Has.

That's One Of The Cool Things About Going To Local Bars: Seeing What People Are Doing And Jamming With Them. I'm A Huge Advocate Of Jamming With Others; You Learn A Lot. So I Love To Go And Do That - Even If People Wipe The Stage Up With You.

I Had No Aspirations To Be A Musician, But I Picked Up A Guitar For Two Seconds And Haven't Put It Down Since.

When I Was A Kid, A Lot Of My Parents' Friends Were In The Music Business. In The Late '60s And Early '70s - All The Way Through The '70s, Actually - A Lot Of The Bands That Were Around Had Kids At A Very Young Age. So They Were All Working On That Concept Way Early On. And I Figured If They Can Do It, I Could Do It, Too.

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.
