I finally got to see Axl perform live this past May. I was right in front and he walked in front of me and planted his feet to sing through a verse of "Don't Cry". Being 10 ft away, I could see that he still looks like the Axl everyone loved 25 years ago. The press loves to expose unflattering photos of him. The hell with the press cause to see him up close in person...he still has those eyes and the finesse that makes him one of the best rock n rock front men. The best in my opinion.
He was a close friend of the band, he co-wrote "It's So Easy", "Yesterdays", "Bad Obsession", "The Garden" and a couple more that were never officially released plus he was in a side-project band with Izzy and Duff.
I loved Guns N' Roses then and I love them today. Axl has an incredibly talented group of musicians with him who have earned the name GNR! Music isn't about rehashing the same experiences. I mean, Axl is 51 years old now for Christ's sake! I'm 39 and I sure as hell don't look at everything the same way I did when I was in my teens. I can look back on this with fondness, but people are not frozen forever in time. That's not the way the world works. The MTV sucking now thing is spot on though! :)
axl is really a great guy and gnr wouldnt exist without one of em they all brought somehting to it....its cool to see em like this tho...great post! i love it!
Slash has a fair amount of gear in his system, can hear it in his voice. Being a former addict, currently weaning off subutex, it's hard not to notice this stuff.
Gosh slash looks so HOT when he says ...python... i love all this guys and no one have any idea how much i hate the time that i'm living at,a time were there's no rock n roll and there's no THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD:GUNS N ROSES
One of a kind. no one will ever be a better band than them in their prime. They lost a lot when Izzy left. They need to get back together even if its just for one night!
Great vid, jaja!!!!!!!! But: where is Izzy? Where is my Izzy!!!? I love him! Steven: so cute! Slash: so cute too!!!! Aguante Guns N' Roses, carajoooo!!!!!
My top 10 guns and roses songs of all time: 10. Don't cry 5. Paradise city 9. Symphony for the devil 4. Live and let die 8. civil war 3. November rain 7. Knocking on heaven's door 2. Sweet child of mine 6. you could be mine 1. Welcome to the jungle
It's insane just how much chemistry the original GNR guys had back then! Then they fired Steven and it started going down hill from there. It sucks that there aren't any bands like this nowadays...
yeah that's what I thought when I first saw this video , he's kinda lookin at his feet when he says that, what a lot of people do when they think sincerely about someone they love lol
I bought an acoustic Guitar when I was 18. Then my Sister's first Husband gave me his Guitar. It was smaller. To this day I cannot find them I left them at my Patents
Totally Agree. I hated Matt and I think most people did, the only good thing about him joining the band is that they were able to tour and continue for 2 more years. But Steven and Izzy were irreplacable! When Steven left it marked the beginning of the end of GNR without them knowing it. And when Izzy left, that was definitely the END!
Axl sings so fine... its so fuckin hard to get that hight pitched voice... its not like ACDC... just screaming... i am not dissing ACDC... they are legends... but Axl's voice needs more power more energy more feel and more strength to do so...
They are all so nice to eachother and with so much understanding, like when Axl talks about Slash's heart and soul showing through his guitar playing It's also amazing how Axl can change his voice, from really deep talking and singing to the yesterdays voice at the end
My nicknames were Pud (Pudding)by my Fathering as a child I always wanted my dessert first before eating my dinner, Hemahn by my Sister, Ally, Ally cat by friends. Alice which I'm not greatly fond of at all There was only one friend/collegues I used to work with Amelia could get a way with it. I don't know why, it just didn't bother me coming from her, and Gary an elderly neighbour. My Mother used to call me Alesandra, I always used to say stop calling me Alesandra my name is Alison rolling My eyes. Seems when one protests they do it all the more My middle name is Sandra. Must be because my Father is from Italian background. My Sister chose my middle name.I winged you should have picked Sarah. Also, red, from one of the Lebanese boys I grew up in with and former work colleague when I was nineteen, by my father when I was younger, copper knob I'm sure there is more no pun intended 😂I use to love my red and white boot rollerskates. I live cats and dogs. Currently have, three adorable kittens, the Mother I call Treasure, there is also Tinkerbell, the kittens, Tiger, Leon and Tobias (Toby) and no I have never had a general disease or STD recieved or given . I do not have breast implants would love to know who started that one. Lol
ok , forget what I've said about the dog.Man, what's wrong with you,people???Why on Earth are you arguing about something that happened 12 years ago??Why can't we all think as this band as how great it was during the good times ,when they were like family?Come on!!Stop this hysterical arguing , please,in the name of the old and awsome Guns n' Roses!!!
What is sad is that these 5 guys are alive, they CAN REUNITE and play again before its too late , i mean when john lennon died it was over for the beatles, cobain, etc. but these guys are alive and still playing. I hope happens someday..... anyone agree??
Well first of all, Izzy was the orginal rhythme guitar player before Gilby in like 1991 or whatever, andddd Izzy wasnt in this docuimentary, for some reason I dont know, im glad they included him though
@Vingalinga It's not as complex and bass is generally very easy to play if you can play guitar. I don't find it too tricky but I wouldn't want to write anything in bass!
@StuRaz lol, it's not hard to learn how to play guitar the right handed way when you're left handed, I myself am left and i play right handed too. It goes automaticly actually.
Great Rockymentary xD ! I'll always love Guns 'n Roses, I wish the old line up would come back again.. Btw I don't know why Izzy wasn't in the interview. =( Well anyway they all look AMAZING =|
thats a fair point, im willing to accept that. axls always seemed like the angrier guy tho, even now izzy is the only one still making appearances with him. Meanwhile the rest of the band are still meeting up and playing music with each other. From the outside looking in it looks like Axl is the one pushing everyone away to do what he wants.
i miss these guys wish they would do a reunion tour and axl and slash could just be friends nd io wish steve wasent an addict but steve isnt my conern i dont care if matt sorum is there its just axl and slash need to fuckin make up
that was great. i hope my band never breaks up, a band isnt just a group of friends havin fun bashin on an instrument. its a fuckin family. sure dysfunctional at times, but still close. just a shame axl was overly dysfunctional.
This is real rock n roll, i mean Kerrang, a hard rock/metal chanel is playing the Ting Tings, n Simple Plan r bein hailed as princes of rock. Pt Simple Plan in the firing line of Guns n they wud die
'blueskiesbrowneyes' yeah, thats a good point... but now everyone's gone, except for izzy who plays a couple of guest spots. and look at chinese dem, thats not a rock n roll record
lol "I never had a car"... Good rock N roll never comes from spoiled kids... by the way I dont have a car either, so Axl if you got few grand to spend, call me I'll be pleased lol
dude, i dont know what stadium it is, butt it's defintely not Wembley, the old wembley-stadium looks a whole different, well i don't know either butt it isn't Wembley

April Gonzalez amen!!such an intelligent man also.i love him!
Ой, ну он конечно же еще тот скандалист, истеричка, оторва
I love how Slash and Steven each say:
"And we were friends ever since" That was so sweet :)
It's mad to see Axl speaking in his normal voice and then hearing him sing moments later. A total transformation. What a talent
Most unusual voice ever.
By far the greatest hard rock band there ever was. If you think they weren't ,that's okay. But just know this.....you are fucking just wrong.
This is by far the best GN'R interview ever!
This IS the old GnR..love the fact that West Arkeen is in it...good old times..
He was a close friend of the band, he co-wrote "It's So Easy", "Yesterdays", "Bad Obsession", "The Garden" and a couple more that were never officially released plus he was in a side-project band with Izzy and Duff.

axl is really a great guy and gnr wouldnt exist without one of em they all brought somehting to it....its cool to see em like this tho...great post! i love it!
Steven is so cute I can't 😍😂
theyre soooooooooooooo kool... i love how every single one of them says something about their car! thats awesome
Bahahaha Axl 3:01
"One mooore tiiiiiiime" XD
I kind of like seeing Axl so relaxed doing his bass voice for the Bailey trio... =)
Why isn’t there a band like this nowadays
Slash has a fair amount of gear in his system, can hear it in his voice. Being a former addict, currently weaning off subutex, it's hard not to notice this stuff.
Gosh slash looks so HOT when he says ...python...
i love all this guys and no one have any idea how much i hate the time that i'm living at,a time were there's no rock n roll and there's no THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD:GUNS N ROSES
i love the old guns n roses!!!!!
they are one of the greatest band in the world!!!!!!!!!
banda maravilhosa
I wish Izzy had been there but it was still great!! Axl's impression of Slash was so funny and Stevens so adorable!!
I remember taping this on MTV and watching it over and over and over.......
axl is THE MAN
Talented talented musicians. Thanks for the music. I love you Axl!
seeing axl sing use your illusion songs so early was interesting to see.
these are all legends.
this is great I lvoed watching this. Axl really looks like a nice guy in here n stuff.
One of a kind. no one will ever be a better band than them in their prime. They lost a lot when Izzy left. They need to get back together even if its just for one night!
this have to be like the best interview ever....love the way steven says: I love my dogs
Great vid, jaja!!!!!!!!
But: where is Izzy?
Where is my Izzy!!!? I love him!
Steven: so cute!
Slash: so cute too!!!!
Aguante Guns N' Roses, carajoooo!!!!!
:D :D :D :D :D yeeeeeeeyy!! this rockumentary was really good an interesting, i didn't know 'bout their pets an how they met an things like that...
My top 10 guns and roses songs of all time:
10. Don't cry 5. Paradise city
9. Symphony for the devil 4. Live and let die
8. civil war 3. November rain
7. Knocking on heaven's door 2. Sweet child of mine
6. you could be mine 1. Welcome to the jungle
you know any other songs other then the singles?
А мне вот лично больше всего нравится песня зис ай лав
It's insane just how much chemistry the original GNR guys had back then! Then they fired Steven and it started going down hill from there. It sucks that there aren't any bands like this nowadays...
The last Rock Gods!!wish they could come back together for a Second Time.
Think it was the 'Manic Street Preachers' frontman: James Dean Bradfield, that said no rock band has ever ''looked'' as good as Guns N' Roses did.
Great footage. Nice to see them all when they were still young and not so bitter about each other.
BY far the best GNR clip on here. Imagine walking into a bar and seeing axl sitting on a bar stool singing!
it's the giant stadium you can see a 0:28 long concert off gnr in that stadium, look it up.
Yesterdays song in 89... another new one for me!
love it when axl sings the hymn in deep deep bass! total melt!
These guys are so fucking awesome. They are my all time idols along with others. Can you get any cooler?!
K voz mas profunda tiene Axl, me encanta. Es increible como la maneja y le da tantos registros.dios mio es monisimo, un bombon.
yeah that's what I thought when I first saw this video , he's kinda lookin at his feet when he says that, what a lot of people do when they think sincerely about someone they love lol
I bought an acoustic Guitar when I was 18. Then my Sister's first Husband gave me his Guitar. It was smaller. To this day I cannot find them I left them at my Patents
LoL Duff talking about how he never plays his bass, except on shows :D
Totally Agree. I hated Matt and I think most people did, the only good thing about him joining the band is that they were able to tour and continue for 2 more years. But Steven and Izzy were irreplacable!
When Steven left it marked the beginning of the end of GNR without them knowing it. And when Izzy left, that was definitely the END!
Stevie is ALWAYS adorable, well maybe 'cause he's always stoned - lol :)
Aaaaw where's Izzy :[ Why does he never show up on interviews and such?!
Vid is still awesome anyways
That was so cool! where did you get it?
3:00-3:10 made me laugh so hard :)
Best vid ever~
❤ this video..
they're all really cute!
but i love axl and izzy the best
Axl sings so fine... its so fuckin hard to get that hight pitched voice... its not like ACDC... just screaming... i am not dissing ACDC... they are legends... but Axl's voice needs more power more energy more feel and more strength to do so...
ho i love them soooo much! gnr's guys are so awesome and their music too.
Duff I love ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are all so nice to eachother and with so much understanding, like when Axl talks about Slash's heart and soul showing through his guitar playing
It's also amazing how Axl can change his voice, from really deep talking and singing to the yesterdays voice at the end
i luvd it man.
awesome.
oh how i wish the old guns was back
this is totally awesome!!!
thanks for uploading!!!
Its a shit that Izzy never spoke on interviews, despite being my fav gunner, that's the main reason nobody knows him
It's weird to hear Steven talk here.. pre-stroke :s
at some awardshow (I think its MTV video-awards)in 1988 or 89
9:05....OH TO BE @ THAT BAR @ THAT MOMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO COOL!!
Axl always smile while he talking ...and i love him 😂
West Arkeen was a genius. He wrote some of the best material for GNR.
Do a RUclips search of Crash Diet, an unreleased GnR song.
una merluza!!!
axl seems like such a cool funny guy here... shame he went on his power trip
best gnr time period right here
steven adler is so cute
My nicknames were Pud (Pudding)by my Fathering as a child I always wanted my dessert first before eating my dinner, Hemahn by my Sister, Ally, Ally cat by friends.

Thumbs up if you believe a GnR reunion is waaaaay past due.
Do u have the rest of it to upload?
yeah that's what I thought to! I'm more into duff and never had much with steven but steven's a really good guy to actually.
ok , forget what I've said about the dog.Man, what's wrong with you,people???Why on Earth are you arguing about something that happened 12 years ago??Why can't we all think as this band as how great it was during the good times ,when they were like family?Come on!!Stop this hysterical arguing , please,in the name of the old and awsome Guns n' Roses!!!

I want to be beer drinkin with those guys on that bar!
Well first of all, Izzy was the orginal rhythme guitar player before Gilby in like 1991 or whatever, andddd Izzy wasnt in this docuimentary, for some reason I dont know, im glad they included him though
@Vingalinga It's not as complex and bass is generally very easy to play if you can play guitar. I don't find it too tricky but I wouldn't want to write anything in bass!

Great Rockymentary xD !
I'll always love Guns 'n Roses, I wish the old line up would come back again..
Btw I don't know why Izzy wasn't in the interview. =(
Well anyway they all look AMAZING =|
Oh a friends Father called me Lemonadie because I didn't drink Lol. Cute
thats a fair point, im willing to accept that. axls always seemed like the angrier guy tho, even now izzy is the only one still making appearances with him. Meanwhile the rest of the band are still meeting up and playing music with each other. From the outside looking in it looks like Axl is the one pushing everyone away to do what he wants.
Well that's from my understanding Axl keeps the wheels turning
i miss these guys wish they would do a reunion tour and axl and slash could just be friends nd io wish steve wasent an addict but steve isnt my conern i dont care if matt sorum is there its just axl and slash need to fuckin make up
that was great.
i hope my band never breaks up, a band isnt just a group of friends havin fun bashin on an instrument.
its a fuckin family.
sure dysfunctional at times, but still close.
just a shame axl was overly dysfunctional.
This is real rock n roll, i mean Kerrang, a hard rock/metal chanel is playing the Ting Tings, n Simple Plan r bein hailed as princes of rock.
Pt Simple Plan in the firing line of Guns n they wud die
'blueskiesbrowneyes'
yeah, thats a good point... but now everyone's gone, except for izzy who plays a couple of guest spots. and look at chinese dem, thats not a rock n roll record
lol "I never had a car"... Good rock N roll never comes from spoiled kids... by the way I dont have a car either, so Axl if you got few grand to spend, call me I'll be pleased lol
dude, i dont know what stadium it is, butt it's defintely not Wembley, the old wembley-stadium looks a whole different, well i don't know either butt it isn't Wembley
because when you're 20 and you have a car means that you parents give it to you, or you worked to own it but then your parents pays you your studies
Izzy hated doing stuff like this. He was actually in jail when they recorded it, but I doubt that he would've taken part in it even if he was able to.
I've never driven. However, I would love to get a motor bike license.
@lukita274 Thank you!
Yeah he sounds like a cat. I've seen some other rockstars talkin' like that tho. =)
duff don't practice bass!when i was looking at my uncles rock magazines from 1990 duff was in the top 10 bass players
lol your kind of fortunate... I use to unload trucks during my holidays to pay my studies and my flat rent...
I used to be in cub scouts with axl, back then he was called little willy. He used to always wet his bed.
nao tem noçao como queria estar envolvido em uma banda como essas....
so resta sonhar
And of course my favourite,,,,, Womble😂
how could you work in a bank at 15 without any help from your familly or friends for bringin you in?lol
Cooooool! They all actually speak here! 'cept izzy! like the banner says in don't cry, 'wheres izzy?'.
WEST ARKEEN! he composed a bunch of gnr songs, i dont know if thats who u r talking about?
What song is Axl playing with that guy around 5:20?
best gnr interview to date. slash definately high haha.... they are all beatigul people
