GN'R/VR mentions in the latest Hit Parader
Some GN'R/VR mentions in the latest Hit Parader magazine:

Heavy Metal’s All-time *Top 100* Stars

1. Ozzy Osbourne
2. Steven Tyler
3. Kurt Cobain
4. James Hetfield
5. Jimmy Page
6. Jimi Hendrix
7. Eddie Van Halen
8. Robert Plant
9. Paul Stanley
10. Axl Rose: Despite being virtually absent from the rock world for the last ten years, Axl Rose remains one of the most famous and controversial rockers of his generation, a walking powder keg of rock and roll dynamite that’s liable to go off at any moment. We've all heard about the “imminent” arrival of the next Guns N’ Roses album, Chinese Democracy, but we’ll all probably be rockin’ in wheel chairs before it actually arrivers.

“Even at the peak of Guns N’ Roses popularity, I wanted to be able to walk down the street and not get hassled,” Rose said. “Sometimes I was able to pull that off, but most of the time I wasn’t.”
Most notable quality: Perhaps the most mysterious – and misunderstood – force ever to grace the rock and roll world.

23. Slash: With his face-covering curls, his trademark top hat, and his usually shirtless presence, Slash just exudes everything that’s great about the rock and roll form. This notorious ex-Guns N’ Roses guitarist (now leading Velvet Revolver to the top of the charts) has traveled in rock’s fast land and lived to tell about it over and over again.

“Thankfully, those days are behind me,” he said. “It’s so much easier when you can approach making music with a clear head – and be able to remember what you did the next morning.”
Most notable quality: He comes from a multi-racial family with a black mom and a white, Jewish dad.

They SAID It!!!

“Success is something you never take for granted. That’s never been our style, anyway. We’ve never been very good at trying to play nice and fit in with everyone else. We’ve always been much better at rubbing everyone’s face in the mud and just doing our own thing. This is a very dangerous band on a number of levels – and we may be the first dangerous band that’s come along in a ling time. Our goal is to go out there and cause as much chaos as possible.”
Duff McKagan, Velvet Revolver
