Riding the waves of the success of both "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Sweet Child O' Mine", "Appetite For Destruction" went to #1 on July 23rd, 1988.

4. What is strange about the way Nigel Dick directed the "Paradise City" video?

Answer: He directed it by phone and headset

The "Paradise City" video was shot at Giant's Stadium in New Jersey. Less than one week later the tragic death of 2 fans occured while Guns N' Roses played their set at Castle Donnington, England. This unfortunate event didn't stop "Paradise City" from becoming a hit.

5. Steven Adler was fired from the band in 1990 for excessive drug abuse. What is the only song Adler played on for the band's huge double albums "Use Your Illusion 1" and "Use Your Illusion 2"?

Answer: Civil War

Axl later mentioned that he had to remix Adler's drum recording many times in order to get the sound right. A funny fact, Axl fell down while singing "Civil War" in Portugal in front of thousands of fans.

6. Axl, Slash, Duff, Sebastion Bach, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and Lars Ulrich played together under what name?

Answer: GAK

Members of Guns N' Roses, Metallica and Sebastion Bach of Skid Row played together at a party for RIP magazine at the Hollywood Palladium. Axl sang on the songs "Piece of Me" and "Hair of the Dog" while the rest of the band played "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "You're Crazy".

7. What was the first single from the "Use Your Illusion" albums?

Answer: You Could Be Mine

"You Could Be Mine" was released several months before "Use Your Illusion 2" came out in order to support the movie "Terminator 2". The song was in the movie and Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared in the video.

8. The album "The Spaghetti Incident?" spawned only one video, what was it?

Answer: Since I Don't Have You

"The Spaghetti Incident?" was released in 1993. It caused some controversy because of the inclusion of a hidden track written by famed mass murderer Charles Manson entitled "Look At Your Game Girl". The video for "Since I Don't Have You" included Slash playing guitar in a silkish purple shirt and the band sitting around a campfire while a crazy looking clown drove a car. Crazy stuff!

9. When the revamped version of Guns N' Roses played the MTV Video Music Awards in 2002 how many members were in the band?

Answer: 8

They are Axl Rose, Dizzy Reed, Tommy Stinson, Robin Finck, Richard Fortus, Brian "Brain" Mantia, Buckethead and Chris Pittman. Since that time Buckethead has left the band.

10. In what city did the "Chinese Democracy" tour end after the band didn't take the stage?

Answer: Philadelphia

Even though the two opening acts (Mix Master Mike and CKY) played that night the headliners never made it. Rumors ran rampant, including that Axl wanted to watch the end of a basketball game and also that Axl had heard a bad review of the previous show in New York City and was so upset that he wouldn't go onstage.
I hope you enjoyed the trip into the crazy world that is Guns N' Roses, thanks for playing!
