Have you written anything that was just too personal to turn into the band?

“No, no, but it is really hard and you have to calm yourself down and work on being able to do that. With our video for "Don't Cry," and the fight that Stephanie and I had over the gun, you don't necessarily know what's going on. But in real life that happened with Erin and myself. I was going to shoot myself. We fought over the gun and I finally let her win.”

The ads on a weekly basis and soon found their next bass player, Izzy Stradlin, who went on to gain fame as rhythm guitarist for Guns N’ Roses. “Back then he was Izzy Bell,” says Santalesa of Stradlin, “He looked a lot like Nikki Sixx and had a lot of energy. He was very enthusiastic.” (This contrary to the current heroin chic persona Stradlin sports today.)

Santalesa goes on to say that Stradlin was always more of a punk at heart, counter to Shire’s melodic power metal sound. He says “[Izzy] wanted to do a Ramones song and I added a solo, so everyone thought that was funny. He was the first guy I saw wearing creepers so he was ahead of his time.”

Ultimately, Stradlin would leave the band when “his friend Bill Bailey came from Indiana in 1983, so he started doing his thing with him.” (Bill would be GnR singer Axl Rose.)

I've pulled razor blades on myself -Axl

How do you explain your volatile nature? When I get stressed, I get violent and take it out on myself. I've pulled razor blades on myself but then realized that having a scar is more detrimental than not having a stereo. I'd rather kick my stereo in than go punch somebody in the face. When I get mad or upset or emotional, sometimes I'll walk over and play my piano

A psychiatrist has diagnosed Axl's problem as manic-depressive disorder,

a condition that can cause people to swing from impulsive, reckless, and argumentative fits to catatonic and suicidal periods.

"I can be happier than anybody I know," Axl says. "I can get so happy I'll cry. I can get completely opposite, upsetwise."

Many manic-depressives turn to drugs or alcohol to lessen the pain of their illness. Although Axl takes lithium to combat the disorder, he thinks it's ineffective and claims to be in control of his moods.

"Did you ever see that movie - I think it was Frances?"

Frances Farmer, an actress, was institutionalized because of her emotional outbursts.

"I always wonder if, like, somebody's gonna slide the knife underneath my eye and give me the lobotomy. I think about that a lot. "Was I, like, a major dick last night?"
