LED ZEPPELIN AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, JULY 27, 1973
“Led Zeppelin remains unchanged. The group may perform different pieces, but the effect is the same. Jimmy Page’s lead guitar still dominates and mixes and merges with Robert Plant’s agile voice to provide the basic essence of Zeppelin. And Page is still into musical freakiness; dramatically dragging a violin bow across his guitar, he did his familiar squealing impersonation before boogieing off. Page’s guitar more often than not sounds like thunder, but for all the power and fury at their disposal, the stage had much scaffolding on either side to hold the equipment, Zeppelin manages to provide some separation of instruments in the blare”

Axl: You never know what's gonna happen at a Guns N' Roses concert. We don't even know ourselves from one minute to the next. We don't even use a song list anymore
AXL ABOUT GNR FIRST LINEUP
Axl: This lineup has been together for two years. Izzy and I have been playing together for about 12 years. He started out on drums, then switched to bass and finally guitar. At one point he was singing and I was playing keyboards and bass.
Izzy: I couldn't sing, so that didn't work out! (Laughs)
Axl: Then, about three years ago, I was in a band called Hollywood Rose and then another one called LA Guns, which is how I got to know the rest of the guys.
Eventually we decided that this was the right lineup and that we were gonna stick together
KELLY NICKELS OF L.A. GUNS ABOUT HIS FAV BANDS
WHAT IF YOU COULD TURN SOME FANS ONTO A FEW GROUPS THEY PROBABLY HAVEN'T HEARD?
Kelly: My favorite band is Dogs D'Amour! I love them because they are mostly acoustic now. I love their songs and attitude.
Their singer, Tyla, is a great lyricist. I'd definitely recommend them. I also listen to a lot of Elvis. Of course, the Sex Pistols, Jerry Lee Lewis, And some Pato Banton, he's a reggae guy. I love reggae! And I listen to a lot of really early rock songs on K-EARTH (a classic rock station in L.A.). Those songs were killer, man. They didn't even have distortion and they still rock!
Axl about his different voices
MG: How do you do it?
Axl: I think I'm actually a second baritone. I used to take choir classes and sit there reading music and seeing if I could get away with fooling the teacher by singing other people's parts. We had this teacher who was pitch-perfect. He had ears like a bat, man. Like radar. So, in order to get away with singing someone else's part, you'd really have to get it down. Or else, he'd know exactly what corner of the room it's coming from. So, I guess I really started working on my different voices back then by trying to mess with my teacher’s head! (laughing) He used to wonder how come he’s hearing a soprano in the bass section!
“Oh, and also we didn't write songs about elves and demons and shit—unless, of course, you considered Mr. Brownstone a demon”

“The first time I discovered Night Train wine was on one of these epic nocturnal flyering campaigns—which were best accomplished while drinking from a brown paper bag. Afterward I was happy to find that the liquor store around the corner from our storage space also stocked it. At $1.29 a bottle, Night Train instantly became a band staple; we started piecing together the song “Nightrain” a week later while rehearsing before another flyer-posting outing”
Duff Mckagan, “It’s so easy and other lies”, 2011
You uncovered this outlaw soul
You should've gone, baby, long ago
But you shined a light where it was dark
On this wasted heart
“The day of the rescheduled show arrived. It rained and rained. It continued to rain during the show. Then, as Axl played the opening chords of “November Rain,’ the sun broke through the clouds. Everyone in the audience crossed themselves. After the song, the rain began again.”
Duff Mckagan, “It’s so easy and other lies”, One of the performances from Use Your Illusion tour
“Just as the record label frenzy around us was heating up, some fallout from our Gardner space partying hit us. The cops busted down our door one night looking for Axl. They wanted him to answer what turned out to be a bogus rape charge. Our days became numbered there at Gardner. Axl didn’t do the crime, but the incident inspired a great song, “Out to Get Me,’ which we quickly added to our sets in early 1986. You can hear the depth of our collective anguish in that song, shitting ourselves that the record labels might get wind of the situation and break off their courtship: “You can't catch me, I’m fuckin’ innocent!”

“One evening, walking out with my belly filled with its meal of the day, I saw a guy doing business on the phone—a guy dressed like Johnny Thunders. Taking a second glance, I recognized the guy. It was Izzy Stradlin. We had met a few weeks prior, when we both turned up at the same girl’s place on the same night. It could have been awkward, but we both shrugged it off and started talking about music”

“Steven Adler was really nice, and expressed himself with an infectious, almost childlike enthusiasm.
He said, "Listen, we're going to be great — going to get the feet stompin' and the hands clappin."
He still says that to this day when he climbs behind a drum kit and gets excited: going to get the feet stomping and the hands clapping.”

“When we started to write the songs that would become Appetite, it was clear that Slash saw this as a chance to finally perfect his sense of melody on leads and his crunch when it came to riffage. Slash wrote and perfected those classic parts from some dark and beautiful place within himself. The shy introvert Id first met had at last found the true medium to express himself”
