Artists quotes on Guns N Roses.

[Carlos_f_Rose]

Hi guys, this thread is about writing down, some of the quotes other artists, have said about Guns N Roses past and present. Please dont make them up. These are the few I was able to find. Thanks

- Oasis :"Definitely not. The songs speak for themselves. They don't need for us to go run up or down the stage like Guns N' Roses. We know our strenghts and weaknesses. We're not showmen, we're musicians."

- Dave Grohl: Of Nirvana starts taunting Axl Rose from the stage by saying on microphone "Hi Axl,Hi Axl,Wheres Axl? Hi Axl,Hi Axl,Hi Axl" while Nirvana destroyed their instruments

- Slash: You know, it's funny, because Izzy came up and played with us for three or four shows in Europe recently, and it was really fun. Izzy is one of those guys who are always floating around. When we first put this band together, we were looking for singers before Scott [Weiland] came in the picture, and Izzy came down and hung out with us for two weeks and we wrote probably 10 or 15 songs together. It was like old army buddies sitting around the studio, exchanging war stories, and during that time we probably wrote the best instrumental Guns N' Roses record to date. Of course, none of that material will probably see the light of day, but it's really cool. At least I have it on tape.

Kurt Cobain:  Kurt was asked is there anything about Guns N'Roses music you like?  "I can't think of a damn thing.  I can't even waste my time on that band because they're so obviously pathetic and untalented.  I used to think that everything in the mainstream pop world was crap, but now that some underground bands have been signed  with majors, I take Guns N'Roses as more of an offence.  I have to look into it more:  They're really talent less people, and they write crap music, and they're the most popular rock band on earth right now.  I can't believe it."

David Hetfield:  Whilst reading from the Guns N' Roses rider requirements, and those specifically of Axl Rose, Hetfield snorts, "Horrible truths.  The piddly wants and needs of certain folks on the road.  Axl 'Pose' dressing room requirements."  Sneering, Hetfield read from the list, "absolutely no substitutions.  One cup of 'cubed' ham, it's got to be cubed so it can get down his little neck...one rib eye steak dinner, I didn't know the guy ate meat, looks like a fucking vegetarian....pepperoni pizza, fresh - I think that's just for throwing around.  One can of assorted Pringles chips, that's the greasy shit so he can grease his hair back."  As those onlookers in the Metalica camp sniggered at Hetfield's obvious distaste, he finished with "honey that makes him SING LIKE THIS!" rising with a squeal and imitating Axl's voice, "one bottle of dom perignon - hey that's where the money's at right there."  He then says "its just fucking crap" and throws the list into the air and steps on it when it lands, all the while being filmed.

Hi everyone this is not only a quote, but some questions Kubain Kurt was asked  about Guns N' Roses. Please dont discuss about them, its only something I wanted to share, and if you have more Quotes about other artists please post them.

AD: Is there anything about Guns N' Roses' music you like?

KC: I can't think of a damn thing. I can't even waste my time on that band, because they're so obviously pathetic and untalented. I used to think that everything in the mainstream pop world was crap, but now that some underground bands have been signed with majors, I take Guns N' Roses as more of an offense. I have to look into it more: They're really talentless people, and they write crap music, and they're the most popular rock band on the earth right now. I can't believe it.

AD: Didn't Axl Rose say something nasty to you at the MTV Video Music Awards in September?

KC: They actually tried to beat us up. Courtney and I were with the baby in the eating area backstage, and Axl walked by. So Courtney yelled, "Axl! Axl, come over here!" We just wanted to say hi to him--we think he's a joke, but we just wanted to say something to him. So I said, "Will you be the godfather of our child?" I don't know what had happened before that to piss him off, but he took his aggressions out on us and began screaming bloody murder.

These were his words: "You shut your bitch up, or I'm taking you down to the pavement." [laughs] Everyone around us just burst out into tears of laughter. She wasn't even saying anything mean, you know? So I turned to Courtney and said, "Shut up, bitch!" And everyone laughed and he left. So I guess I did what he wanted me to do--be a man. [laughs]

AD: Does he remind you of guys you went to high school with?

KC: Absolutely. Really confused, fucked-up guys. There's not much hope for them.

AD: When he was singing about "immigrants and faggots," people were excusing it by saying, "Well, he's from Indiana-"

KC: Oh, well, that's OK then. [Laughs] Insane. Later, after we played our show and were walking back to our trailer, the Guns N' Roses entourage came walking toward us. They have at least 50 bodyguards apiece: huge, gigantic, brain-dead oafs ready to kill for Axl at all times. [Laughs] They didn't see me, but they surrounded Chris, and Duff [McKagan of Guns N' Roses] wanted to beat Chris up, and the bodyguards started pushing Chris around. He finally escaped, but throughout the rest of the evening, there was a big threat of either Guns N' Roses themselves or their goons beating us up. We had to hide out.

Since then, every time Axl has played a show he's said some comment about me and Courtney. When he was in Seattle, he said "Nirvana would rather stay home and shoot drugs with their bitch wives than tour with us." [Laughs] That's why there's this big feud in most of the high schools. It's hilarious. He is insane, though. I was scared. I couldn't possibly beat him up; I know he would beat me up if he had the chance.

AD: How do you feel about Guns N' Roses fans coming to see you?

KC: Well, when we played that No on 9 benefit in Portland, I said something about Guns N' Roses. Nothing nasty - I think I said, "And now, for our next song, 'Sweet Child o' Mine.'" But some kid jumped onstage and said, "Hey, man, Guns N' Roses plays awesome music, and Nirvana plays awesome music. Let's just get along and work things out, man!"

And I just couldn't help but say, "No, kid, you're really wrong. Those people are total sexist jerks, and the reason we're playing this show is to fight homophobia in a real small way. The guy is a fucking sexist and a racist and a homophobe, and you can't be on his side and be on our side. I'm sorry that I have to divide this up like this, but it's something you can't ignore. And besides they can't write good music." [Laughs]

AD: You know, you were probably taking money from people who were voting yes on 9 - but they really wanted to see Nirvana.

KC: [Laughs] Right! Chris went to a Guns N' Roses concert when they played here with Metallica a couple of months ago, and he went backstage, and there were these two bimbo girls who looked like they walked out of a Warrant video. They were sitting on the couch in hopes of sucking Axl's dick or something, and one of them said, "Chris, we saw you at that No on 9 benefit! We're voting yes on 9! You kissed Kurt on the lips! That was disgusting!" [Laughs] To know that we affect people like that-it's kind of funny. The sad thing is that there's no penetrating them. After all that, after all the things those girls had seen us do, that was the one thing that sticks in their minds.

I think there's already a thread on this subject.

I mean how many times do we need to read what that shithead said about Axl 13 years ago!!?

Kurt Cobain:? Kurt was asked is there anything about Guns N'Roses music you like?? "I can't think of a damn thing.? I can't even waste my time on that band because they're so obviously pathetic and untalented.? I used to think that everything in the mainstream pop world was crap, but now that some underground bands have been signed? with majors, I take Guns N'Roses as more of an offence.? I have to look into it more:? They're really talent less people, and they write crap music, and they're the most popular rock band on earth right now.? I can't believe it."

David Hetfield:? Whilst reading from the Guns N' Roses rider requirements, and those specifically of Axl Rose, Hetfield snorts, "Horrible truths.? The piddly wants and needs of certain folks on the road.? Axl 'Pose' dressing room requirements."? Sneering, Hetfield read from the list, "absolutely no substitutions.? One cup of 'cubed' ham, it's got to be cubed so it can get down his little neck...one rib eye steak dinner, I didn't know the guy ate meat, looks like a fucking vegetarian....pepperoni pizza, fresh - I think that's just for throwing around.?

As those onlookers in the Metalica camp sniggered at Hetfield's obvious distaste, he finished with "honey that makes him SING LIKE THIS!" rising with a squeal and imitating Axl's voice, "one bottle of dom perignon - hey that's where the money's at right there."? He then says "its just fucking crap" and throws the list into the air and steps on it when it lands, all the while being filmed.

His name is James Hetfield, not David and who gives a crap about what people said 13, 14 years ago? They also have the right to think whatever they want you know.

I've searched the Thread about this, but I didnt find it, anyway, this isnt about shit, people said about GNR, its only Id like to know what artists have said about them,  happens that most of the quotes are against the band, but some like Perry's are on their side.


- Oasis: They dedicated "Rock N Roll star" to "MR. Rose"  in their own words, at the ROCK IN RIO 3 festival.

-  - Joe Perry: ?They had a certain genuine thing to them, what you see is what you get, take it or leave it which I think there fans loved them for?

Chad Ginsburg, guitarist from CKY

What was it like touring with Guns N' Roses?

It was quite amazing, it was a really fun time, and it was really cool to be on tour with those guys, they were the nicest dudes - Axl was really cool. I think that tour was the best because there was a riot at the beginning and the end. The one in Vancouver meant we didn't get to play the show - it was nuts and then we played 20 dates and by the time we got to Philadelphia our hometown, another riot occurred!
