Guns & Roses, Guns and RosesMusic Quotes:
I discovered that I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a Great White or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot. I'm late to everything. I've always wanted to have it written in my will that when I die, the coffin shows up a half hour late and says on the side, like in gold, 'Sorry I'm Late'. Fear is where there is no love. Love is where there is no fear. ~Axl Rose~

Band Name Origins:
- Guns 'n' Roses got there name when Tracii Guns of "L.A. Guns" started a band with Axle Rose. They didn't get along, so Tracii left the band and started "L.A. Guns" while Axle stuck with the name "Guns 'n' Roses." Submitted by: Mark Godwin
- Slash said in an interview on Conan O'Brien that "Originally I wanted to call the band Guns N' Robots. I still believe that if we had just called ourselves 'Guns N' Robots' we'd still be together." Submitted by: The Robmaster 2000!
Why the Name is Stupid:
- Come on, did any one ever hear Axle Rose's voice, can it get any higher? How can a band like that pull of a name like Guns and Roses? They should be just Roses! Submitted by: Floyde the stondent

The Lyrics: Welcome to the jungle! It gets worse here every day!
Why: For a song about living like an animal in an urban hellhole, it's an awfully cheerful piece. (It's evidently sung from the point of view of one of the more successful predators welcoming some fresh meat.)

Crime Records:
"Riot act"
Rose had pleaded innocent to four misdemeanor counts of assault and one count of property damage stemming from the riot that broke out during his July 2, 1991, concert at the Riverport Amphitheatre in Maryland Heights, just outside St. Louis. Videotape showed Rose diving into the concert crowd when he spotted someone with a camera, then punching a man. He then smashed his microphone on the stage and stormed off, ending the show early. Several thousand dollars' worth of property damage was reported by the outdoor theater from the ensuing riot. Gregory said he found that Rose was guilty of the charges "beyond a reasonable doubt." "Well, well, thanks to the lame ass security, I'm goin' home!" **BASH!**

"Used to Love Her"
The Lyrics: I used to love her,
But I had to kill her. I used to love her, mmm, yeah, But I had to kill her. I had to put her six feet under, And I can still hear her complain. Why: Not a good song to have suddenly come blasting out while a man is being questioned about his wife's murder.
