Oh yeah, even before Decline. His lyrics were interesting, he wanted to get under people's skin.

-

Not to mention they are the reason we have enormous sound systems at concerts now. That shit was unheard of until 74 when owsley made it come true. These dudes were pioneers and the best of the best. They took live sound to a whole different realm. Anyone that disagrees better check their pulse.
Never got to see Jerry though. 96 furthur fest was my first show.

The picture has gotten f'd up over the years, unfortunately. Wish I still had the negatives.
oh man so cool, keep it with pride and guard it well
-
I don't give a fuck about how bad he looks now, or how mental he's clearly gone. That guy had a bigger dose of cool than anyone one of us could ever dream of, it's a shame he used it up so fast but at least he had it.

not a huge axl fan, never thought his voice was that great….however duff mckagan is the true hero of that band is one of the most awesome dudes you will ever meet.

Please tell me that's Axl hahaha!!!!!

Agreeing with Riff about Duff McKagan, he's a very nice guy. When I first started working at the hospital I
worked with a girl who was dating him, they met in AA. He used to come pick her up after work and would
sit in our office until she off for the day. This was back in 1992, I had a great time chatting with him about
music. -
I think Ax'l kind of fucked his band mates over pretty seriously.
-
There is absolutely no doubting that, but up until and just after the release of Appetite he was immense…..and then he went crazy. What they do these days (and I have been to witness it) is basically a Guns n Roses club act/ tribute, it's completely fucking horrible for a fan and hilarious for a hater.
-
^ Agreed, Axl was cool back when they were playing the clubs then as soon as they hit it big he did go crazy.
Some people just can't handle the fame, he's a prime example.
