Wow, that was pretty cool. Quick question: did Guns ever play at the Starwood?

Starwood was gone in '82.  So no, GNR did not play there.

Yeah I always got the impression that Slash was kind hearted. However, it sure doesn't seem to me like he had much guidance growing up if he was running around doing drugs at age 14!

I grew up in a small town and knew plenty of kids running around doing drugs at 14. Growing up in LA with the parents he had....hard to imagine the temptations.
