I Had No Aspirations To Be A

I've Been On The Road For So Long That It's A Part Of My Being. Even After All These Years, I Love Playing. I Love Recording. I Love Writing. I Love Rehearsing. I Love Touring. I Love All That Stuff.

It Seems Like A Lot Of What Was Going On When I Quit Is Still Going On.

But If I Was Still Trying To Be In Guns N' Roses While I Wasn't In The Band... I Wouldn't Want To Maintain An Image Like That.

When I Was A Kid, A Lot Of My Parents' Friends Were In The Music Business. In The Late '60s And Early '70s - All The Way Through The '70s, Actually - A Lot Of The Bands That Were Around Had Kids At A Very Young Age. So They Were All Working On That Concept Way Early On. And I Figured If They Can Do It, I Could Do It, Too.

I Don't Think There's Anything Better Than Hearing Your Favorite Band Live.
