Here's some G'n'R trivia for you. The orgasmic sounds on that song are actually real. On a recent interview with Slash I read that Axl brought a girl into the studio and they proceeded to have sex while she moaned in front of the mic. She ended up recording about half an hour of moaning sounds.

Axl in my opinion dosnt have much of a voice, it reminds me of the lead singer from AC/DC's voice, but not as powerful. As for them becoming as great as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Queen, not in a million years. There just plain rock, its all been done before, and much better than Guns N Roses did it. There are no other Bands like Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin, they are legends, they influenced so many other bands, they did things taht hadnt been done before. What have Guns N Roses achieved? Not much, sure they have a few good songs, but there not as amazing as lots of people make them out to be.

I think that creating one of the highest grossing records of all time has to count for SOMETHING, at least.

Mr.Jingles wrote: Guns N' Roses could have been the greatest thing since Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, or Queen. Sadly, Axl himself destroyed his own band. I've read tons of stories from people working as studio and tour crew to band members who mentioned that working with Axl was a complete nightmare. The worst part of all is that Axl hasn't changed at all in 10 years since he disbanned the original G'n'R. The fact that he's been promising 'Chinese Democracy' to be released soon for the past 7 years, is just simply ridiculous. A New York Times report says that apparently the production costs of the album have gone past 13 million making it the most expensive album in history. Let's not forget about that comeback tour in late 2002 that ended up being cancelled because Axl either showed up on stage at 11pm on a concert scheduled to start at 8pm, or in the worst cases Axl just simply didn't show up at all. Regardless of how much talent Axl might have, the guy has a lot of issues that don't seem to be resolved any time soon.

W. Axl Rose wrote: Slash was born in Stoke On Trent England Axl is rumoured to suffer Bi Polar depression and actually has low self esteem despite his on stage persona. He did give up the drugs and excessive alcohol totally by 1992. 2006-05-06 GUNS N' ROSES Axl Rose made an appearance on Eddie Trunk's Friday Night Rocks last night (May 5th). He's in New York City rehearsing with the rest of the band and when SEBASTIAN BACH was on the show, he invited Axl to come over to the radio station to chat. Axl joined Sebastian, Eddie, Scott Ian (ANTHRAX) and WWE's Chris Jericho later and they spent the time talking about everything from W.A.S.P., the tour memories (Skid Row opening for GN'R in New York in 1991 when Axl was late), meeting DAVID LEE ROTH, playing records and talking a bit about GN'R's future plans. Axl mentioned that GN'R were working on a new song that's not been recorded yet while rehearsing in New York. Regarding the album's release he said that it'll be out this fall or late fall. There'll be a third guitarist in the band and Izzy Stradlin might show up at the shows. DOWNLOAD IT HERE link
