LED ZEPPELIN AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, JULY 27, 1973

“Led Zeppelin remains unchanged. The group may perform different pieces, but the effect is the same. Jimmy Page’s lead guitar still dominates and mixes and merges with Robert Plant’s agile voice to provide the basic essence of Zeppelin. And Page is still into musical freakiness; dramatically dragging a violin bow across his guitar, he did his familiar squealing impersonation before boogieing off. Page’s guitar more often than not sounds like thunder, but for all the power and fury at their disposal, the stage had much scaffolding on either side to hold the equipment, Zeppelin manages to provide some separation of instruments in the blare”

review from the eyewitness

“The first time I discovered Night Train wine was on one of these epic nocturnal flyering campaigns—which were best accomplished while drinking from a brown paper bag. Afterward I was happy to find that the liquor store around the corner from our storage space also stocked it. At $1.29 a bottle, Night Train instantly became a band staple; we started piecing together the song “Nightrain” a week later while rehearsing before another flyer-posting outing”

“When we started to write the songs that would become Appetite, it was clear that Slash saw this as a chance to finally perfect his sense of melody on leads and his crunch when it came to riffage. Slash wrote and perfected those classic parts from some dark and beautiful place within himself. The shy introvert Id first met had at last found the true medium to express himself”

Axl: You never know what's gonna happen at a Guns N' Roses concert. We don't even know ourselves from one minute to the next. We don't even use a song list anymore

“Oh, and also we didn't write songs about elves and demons and shit—unless, of course, you considered Mr. Brownstone a demon”

Duff Mckagan, “It’s so easy and other lies”, 2011

“One evening, walking out with my belly filled with its meal of the day, I saw a guy doing business on the phone—a guy dressed like Johnny Thunders. Taking a second glance, I recognized the guy. It was Izzy Stradlin. We had met a few weeks prior, when we both turned up at the same girl’s place on the same night. It could have been awkward, but we both shrugged it off and started talking about music”

AXL ABOUT HANGING OUT WITH OTHER GNR MEMBERS

"I love to get ripped, and I can't do that on the road because of the demands of singing live. So I have to stay away from the others. I want to make sure that we can still do the show"
