Axl Rose quotes

Sometimes your friends are your lovers, or have been at one time. (Axl Rose)
My growth was stopped at two years old. And when they talk about Axl Rose being a screaming two-year-old, they're right. There's a screaming two-year-old who's real pissed off and hides and won't show himself that often, even to me. Because I couldn't protect him. And the world didn't protect him.
Axl Rose
That's always the hardest question. Lately I've been listening to Derek and the Dominos, the Bar-Kays. I really like the first Patti Smith. I'm just starting to discover the Cure. I keep trying to find things to open myself up to. I enjoy Soundgarden. The singer [Chris Cornell] just buries me. The guy sings so great. On the club circuit, I like Saigon Saloon a lot.
Axl Rose
Fear is where there is no love. Love is where there is no fear.
Axl Rose
I'm not God but if I were God, ¾ of you would be girls, and the rest would be pizza and beer.
Axl Rose
I like to be real private; you don't always want everyone around you - even when they like you.
Axl Rose
Regarding social media, I really dont understand what appears to be the general populations lack of concern over privacy issues in publicizing their entire lives on the Internet for others to see to such an extent... but hey its them, not me, so whatever.
Axl Rose
I write the vocals last, because I wanted to invent the music first and push the music to the level that I had to compete against it.
Axl Rose
I could beat my mike stand into the stage, but I was still in pain. Maybe fans liked it, but sometimes people forget you're a person and they're more into the entertainment value. It's taken a long time to turn that around and give a strong show without it being a kamikaze show.
Axl Rose
We wish we were doing it, of course, under much better circumstances, but this man was loved. For Chris.
Axl Rose
When asked what kind of music and bands he enjoys. (Axl Rose)
Life sucks, but in a beautiful kind of way.
Axl Rose
We have a saying in Guns N Roses: When somebodys gonna get yelled at, theyre gonna get the corn.
Axl Rose
In general I usually don't really go by or live my life by a clock and outside of touring I don't really ask anyone else to. It's not out of lack of respect for anyone or intentional.
Axl Rose
I sing in five or six different voices that are all part of me. Its not contrived.
Axl Rose
I like Nine Inch Nails, and I like hip-hop.
Axl Rose
There was a much more self-destructive nature in 'Appetite.' It was a going-for-it-at-all-cost thing that worked then.
Axl Rose
I go to movies, go out with friends, go to car shows. I have a zoo.
Axl Rose
'Appetite for Destruction' was the only thing written with lyrics and melody fitting the guitar parts at the same time. After that, I got a barrage of guitar songs that I was supposed to put words to, and I don't know if that was the best thing for Guns.
Axl Rose
I try to be respectful about getting an honor or recognition, but I don't really know what the Rock Hall actually is. In my experience with the people who run it, I don't see it having to do with anything other than them making money.
