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 was there in the early 90s at the Illusions tour with Metallica and Faith No More s/b 8hrs but....if you were there at Giants stadium you saw Axle and why it was longer. Still the greatest band of all time!!!!! Sus ❤
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)).
I love when musicians talk about the process of songwriting. Sometimes, I wish that's all they talked about. At the end of the day, that's why we love them, right?
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 - Not really. Slash and Duff made every attempt to keep the band going but Axl was impossible to deal with. His ego was the death of the band.
@@AaronStark1993 Slash and Duff were junkies, completely out of control. Axl was sober. Slash wasn't ready to work together with Axl in making new music and wanted to keep doing bluesy hard rock, and had no interest in doing stuff for Axl's song ideas. Axl was in a horrible place mentally, but he was the only one capable of managing the band.
@@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
*** 💚💛❤️ Awesome as throw back interview 🥰 Was at their concert last night in Auckland, New Zealand 😎👌 They still rock!! 😊 Been following them since I was a teenager 😀 💚💛❤️ ***
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.
I still love them , the original line up. I was fortunate enough to see them At Donnington Park, Uk 1988. Where the two guys got crushed to death. Because they were explosive They blew me away and the whole audience. Wish I had some photos No phones in those days
Is this the interview where they talk about some famous musician and Axel said “I wanted to show him my new tattoo but he died on me”. I remember this interview. God 1988??! Time flew!!!
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.
1:41 Slash never ask for straight hair with tattoos of Axl 😁 Hell house 2:45 Evh about 3:58 Slash and Duff join 6:29 How Axl singing Mr Brownstone 7:13 Slash about Michelle 8:21 Perhaps Slash talking about the end of life
The greatest glam metal band of all time who could have been the greatest hard rock and heavy metal band of all time if they had just kept it together but unfortunetaly, could not.
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).
Saul Hudson (Hampstead, Londres; 23 de julio de 1965) más conocido por su nombre artístico Slash, es un músico y compositor británico-estadounidense,[1] conocido principalmente por ser el guitarrista principal de la banda de hard rock Guns N' Roses.
Ahem, there’s this game called hollow knight, and it about a little bug known as the knight (that’s you) And you have to save this kingdom called hallownest from an infection (caused by the radiance) There’s a character named hornet, who’s the princess of hallownest, and knows there’s an infection I also made up a series out of that game, hollow knight adventures, hornet and knight meet a lot of bands and celebs from around the world, Most of them are from the uk, and in one of the seasons, they meet guns and roses (my dad hates them) slash doesn’t like hornet, Izzy doesn’t like hornet, most of the members don’t like hornet, but axl likes hornet (too much) in the final episode of that season, axl wants hornet to join the band, but since hornet is really tough, she beats him up, slash grabs axl, and hornet gets in a fight and her and knight yeet themselves out of there
Not yet. I'd say Axl became a Megalomaniac during the Illusions tour. Knowing Slash & Duff were Drunk and Wasted 24/7, so that snake had them sign away the name of the band to him.

So jealous of all of you guys who saw them in their prime. They've been my favorite band since high school but I was born in 87 😂

Great to hear Slash verbally express himself for like 2 seconds here ❤
HELP
LMFAOOOOO
Lol
It’s hard work , needs a drink
I ❤️ slash's voice and his laugh
hihihi 😂
I’m 49 yrs old & I watched this interview & the whole show. GNR were the biggest thing during this time. Wow such memories awesome
Same age as u. Loved me some guns back in the day!
I love when musicians talk about the process of songwriting. Sometimes, I wish that's all they talked about. At the end of the day, that's why we love them, right?
i just love axls voice
"Why was I drunk?"
🎩
💀
8:33 ....... (Axl) lol
😂😂
I don’t even know why he asked that question. In that era, he was always drunk! 😂
Rhetorical lol
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.
I remember seeing this on Headbanger's Ball, ahhhhh memories 😊🤘🏼🤘🏼

A meu Deus esses meninos nós deichava loucas.
Could you imagine the music we could have had if they continued to create 😢
Terribly tragic waste of talent
Pretty Axl seems so calm and chill for being maniac everyone says he is
Yeah until you piss him off
Many spousal abusers fit this bill.
Slash’s baby face 😭😭😭😭😭❤️🔥
Where is it?!?!?
These guys were baked out of there minds on this interview 😂
They were but it’s still actually a very insightful interview
amen, High interviews are the best ones@@eyybc
When did everyone start saying on? Like on this video as opposed to "in," this video.
This is the best interview ever.
Why?????
This needs more views
This interview is all over UA-cam
Pro trick : watch series at flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Conrad Omar Yup, I have been using flixzone for months myself :)
Why don't you watch it a million times?
"There's gonna be a song about the bus station" ...
Bruh
And they come out talking about how against racism they are. I just sad yall are one in a million
@@jennwages5719 it's very stupid to be offended by a song that wasn't even meant to be racist, plus you're neglecting the music composition.
Their best song
@@oliverkalamata2753 Always a red flag when some edgelord says this
Axl.. 😘😘😍😍😍😎😎
They were like outlaws at the time. Huge band from 1987 to 1993. Rock died after they split..
It's weird cause we never see Axl and slash together talking like this
I love them both
I’m distracted by every sound slash makes coming through the mic! Smoking, drinking ,breathing haha !
Axls smile :>
Talk to me softly....🤩🤩😎😎

Guns n roses 🤟🏻 ❤
Dude openly says I'm psychotic....meaning bipolar no doubt...and stated it young!
he means his emotions, right
Legend!
Man, as a child of the 80s, Guns erupted at a time when Hair Metal was about to jump the shark.
axl rose 😍😍😍😍
Saw Guns last summer. Great show.
60th comment.

Just finding this video, thanks a lot Nov 8th, 2023
These were two nice young guys . Intelligent , gentle and so unbelievably gifted . I'd liked to have called them friends
Slash is really cute 🖤
Fr bro he aged like fine wine 😩
Slash got line a Never ending cigarette
I still love them ,
the original line up.
I was fortunate enough to see them At Donnington Park, Uk 1988. Where the two guys got crushed to death. Because they were explosive
They blew me away and the whole audience.
Wish I had some photos
No phones in those days
Love this!
Is this the interview where they talk about some famous musician and Axel said “I wanted to show him my new tattoo but he died on me”. I remember this interview. God 1988??! Time flew!!!
maybe watch it?
Back when music mattered.
8:34 wait for Axl's reply hahaha
I remember when he got that yellow and red tattoo from Bob Roberts, walking around the Rainbow with a bandage over it😅
When you have 2 beast in one group thats not easy
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.

what a band...

learn dnglish no one can read your chinese language
thanks for that félix
Black and White mixed. He never admits to being Black.😢
I love the tattoo story but it looks like he darkened it for some reason after the lineup changed. I could be totally wrong though...
probably just aged and axl didn't maintain it
I don’t care what anyone fckn says. Slash is the coolest lookin guitar player!
Funny that slash wasn’t accepted in first audition !
Ahem, there’s this game called hollow knight, and it about a little bug known as the knight (that’s you)
And you have to save this kingdom called hallownest from an infection (caused by the radiance)
There’s a character named hornet, who’s the princess of hallownest, and knows there’s an infection
I also made up a series out of that game, hollow knight adventures, hornet and knight meet a lot of bands and celebs from around the world,
Most of them are from the uk, and in one of the seasons, they meet guns and roses (my dad hates them) slash doesn’t like hornet, Izzy doesn’t like hornet, most of the members don’t like hornet, but axl likes hornet (too much) in the final episode of that season, axl wants hornet to join the band, but since hornet is really tough, she beats him up, slash grabs axl, and hornet gets in a fight and her and knight yeet themselves out of there
ok
Paul Hugh tobias axls mate, slash couldn stand him, so he says mad to hear axl talkn about Paul in 88
That's what I thought too
@@daleofriver6746 Same here.
..the perfect face...🤗
It's too bad Axl lost his voice. Appetite and the Illusion albums are the best rock albums of all time, imo.
Lies is fantastic too. Some of Axl's best recorded vocals imo.
Its the tight jeans for me
The most inappropriate thing I could probably say here is - Paul.
I got guns n roses shirt support
Jesus how can that mass of hair over both eyes not be infuriating !!
8:50 No problem
Slash 💦👅🤘🖤
W. axl rose
Slash
Because you did 😂
I wonder how Axl and Slash hated eachother
Not yet. I'd say Axl became a Megalomaniac during the Illusions tour.
Knowing Slash & Duff were Drunk and Wasted 24/7, so that snake had them sign away the name of the band to him.
Exelente video pero traducilo al español xfavor..!! Asi m suscribo!
I want that tank top that Axl is wearing so bad, what does it say? Something about rock'n'roll?
You want the tank top so bad but don't even know what it says? Lol
@@kesuya i think the same lol most Guns fans today are a big joke they also listened to pop shit,just posers who wokes around the world with their real rocker attitude lol
@@Endo-uu8moyou’re edgy.
It says 'I wanna be a transgender'
You should get it
0:17 he said allat than the lyrics were tantalizing
Wait, how did he find Izzy? He was in jail and I wondered how they found each other without cell phones
Saul Hudson 😂
Paul Tobias?
good thing they were talented and famous cuz they could have ended up being the weird maintenance guys of some mall or building
🤸🤸
Axl's teeth are same color as his skin
They were natural teeth. Not fake white chicklet teeth some people have today.
Hol' up! "W. Axel Rose"!? He had a first name?
Im pretty sure Axl said that sing was about a 13 year old he went out with.
9:27
Could Slash suck wind any harder. Damn. I have emphysema and I never gulp air like he is here.
Old. Day s
12:12 the H hits Axl, ahhh pepsi
Back then slash his hear was real 😅😅
Where's Izzy?? Must have been a regular thing?
Axl teeth?!
Yeah, he was kind of a white trash guy. I don't know what would have happened to these guys if Geffen hadn't signed a contract with them.
Talk NoneSense.
Oh yes this was almost as big as Nirvana breaking 1991
Somebody had a doobie 😀
