"people treat Guns N'Roses as this great mythical thing," he says. "i'll always be very pround of having come from that band, but it's been a long time since i was part of it, and if i walk into a bar and someone says, 'There's the guy from Velvet Revolver' that's a very big thing because it's the first time it's happened sine i quit Guns N'Roses. And it was a very hard band to quit. But if i hadn't i'd be in the very same rut that Axl's stuck in right now, which is going nowhere. I couldn't sit still that way." - Slash/Velvet Revolver some Hotel in Pittsburgh
