Billy Gould: “We had a night off in Guam and we went to some military bar, There were big-screen TVs showing hardcore porn and they started playing I Started a Joke on karaoke. It was like God speaking to us: ‘You have to do this song.’”
Bill and Mike on Angel Dust:
Billy Gould: “We had a night off in Guam and we went to some military bar, There were big-screen TVs showing hardcore porn and they started playing I Started a Joke on karaoke. It was like God speaking to us: ‘You have to do this song.’”
Bill and Mike on Angel Dust:
BG “We wanted to make the most of it by putting something interesting out there while we had people’s ears,”
MP “It didn’t totally click, I remember the label saying ‘commercial suicide’.”
BG “The classic line was: ‘I hope you didn’t just buy houses,'"
Roddy and Mike on touring with GnR:RB “We were smart-alec obnoxious people, We shit all over that camp. We had to prove that we weren’t that.”
MP “It makes you examine yourself,” Patton ‘Is this who we are now? This isn’t my deal.’ You overdo it sometimes. There I am, peeing on [Axl Rose’s] teleprompter. I didn’t really have to do that.”
Roddy on new material:“To hear anything one of us does at this point is fascinating, I think I know these guys and then they’ll do something that’s like: ‘Wow, that is really fucking weird.’ I think we accomplished what we need to accomplish. If we all died today I think we would have done a good job.”
