I live for CAN-ing other people's can'ts.
But you've reached them, and I've always wanted to reach people. I'm the first one to say I love my fans because they love that I took a chance.
A lot of bands have managed to borrow parts of our style for their music. That's fine with me, because we've borrowed from people like the Stones. But we don't want to sound like we're copying anyone, including ourselves, so we're moving on.
When you start a rock n' roll band, you've gotta fake it till you make it. You begin by doin' what you love- and what you love is usually what some other people have already done. It just depends on how much of a fool you make of yourself along the way to finding your own sound, assuming you find it.
As you know, I'm androgynous. I can wear a jacket that most guys wouldn't put on. But you make it in guys' sizes, and suddenly they're wearing them. I think styles should get back to getting people to wear things that look so good that they don't care.
Fake it until you make it.
... if you take a risk, two things will happen. People will laugh at you. Or you'll be way ahead of everybody else. And if that's what you're in it for, then you gotta take that risk.
Guns 'N' Roses music was part of the fabric of all people.
I'm not sure about the selling part, but I've always found that the things I've worn on tour have moved over to what people wear every day. Sometimes the things I wore in the beginning before I had money were things I put together.
People love Axl [Rose] with the original band, they love him on his own but they want to see him with the original guys.
And the things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those that got there first.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who were there first.
Mary had a little sheep,With the sheep she went to sleep.The sheep turned out to be a ram,And Mary had a little lamb.
Oddly enough, it's what we started out as, it's what we always have been, and it's almost like Aerosmith is that band in the closet.
