[Hammy]

I was just thinking ain't it cool when GN'R come up in a film in some form or another i was watching My Teacher's Wife last night when this girl started playing pinball on a GN'R pinball machine just thought it was pretty cool for them to be on tv...........so this topic isn't wasted with one little film mention how about everyone mentions what films they've seen a GN'R reference of some sort in



Edit: Changed subject /jarmo

Axl was mentioned on Sam Kinison's album, "Live from Hell". Kinison was talking about how he missed the Joan Rivers show and the media made such a big deal about it, but other celebs did worse. he mentioned that Axl had a warrant out for his arrest in MI. for inciting a riot with $300, 000 damage done.

Slash also appeared on Kinison's "Leader of the Banned" album, he played on Kinison's cover of "Highway to Hell"
