The very first schoolbook that was written had God all over it.

couple gun player
Buckethead [former GUNS N' ROSES guitarist] is probably twice as good a guitar player as me and Slash combined, and can stand having fried chicken rubbed up against his face all night for a couple of hours.

We got a new song called 'Ashes in Your Mouth,' and it is NOT about a joint falling apart.
So Far,So Good........................So What?

If you guys are going to be throwing beer bottles at us, at least make sure they're full.
stupid play guitar
I like jazz, but I could never play it. You just sit there with a guitar the size of a Chevy on your chest, wearing a stupid hat, playing the same solo for an hour.

I could do Rust In Peace again, but I don't want to. I could have followed that formula but, God, why? I would have to have done so much heroin and cocaine - and I wasn't going to. Not if I'm paying for it!
