Don Henley from the eagles

thanks man, why couldnt steven perform that night, he was still in the band 1989 right?

Yeah, I'm almost positive his wrist was broken around this time though.

I was surprised to see you playing drums with Guns -n- Roses at the American Music Awards show last year. What prompted you to sit in with the band?

They asked me to. It was after Axl came down and did the vocals on "I Will Not Go Quietly." I was in the studio about two or three weeks later and the phone rang. It was Axl. He says: "I got a proposition for you. We've got to play the American Music Awards, and our drummer's sick. We want you to play the drums." I was a little taken aback by the proposition, I can tell you that. So I told him I'd think about it and call him back. I told Danny what Axl wanted me to do and he said, "You gotta do this. You have to do this." So I called Axl back and said okay. Fortunately it was a ballad that we played, not a balls-to-the-wall number. I rehearsed with Axl a couple of days, although the whole band never showed up. But it was a piece of cake. There was really nothing to it.

Axl showed up, not the rest of the band, that in itself is an oddity for those  days/daze!

you took the words right out of my mouth

what?

Axl did backing vocals for the Don Henley song "I Will Not Go Quietly".  It's on his "End of the Innocence" album.

Cool. I never knew this. :beer:
