Ya know , I seem to recall reading an article/interview with some very old bandmate of his , and they said when he 1st moved to L.A. he did use some other stage name.
Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me but I really seem to remember reading that.
i remember reading something similar. was it Babe or something? don't mind me if it's wrong, but i'm pretty sure it was Babe b4 Axl.
hmmmm maybe i'm just going insane again....
