Duff mckagan
The bassist for guns n' roses for all of their albums except chinese democracy. He is now with Slash in Velvet Revolver. He was a good bassist, and is also a realy nice guy. He now has had to give up the rock star lifestyle since he's married with 2 kids, but he still rocks when he's playing music. never actualy was kicked out of guns n roses- he and Slash, the only original members left, kicked Axl Rose and all the replacement members out in '98. Axl then sued them for the rights to the name, won, and Duff and Slash formed Velvet Revolver. Like the other gunners, duff had trouble with drugs and booze. he now has quit drinking, after his pancreas burst and he learned that any more alchohol would kill him. He's not much of a partier any more, but he's still a realy cool guy.

steven adler
The drummer for guns n' roses on Appetite for Destruction and Gn'R Lies. He wasn't a great drummer, but his style worked for the band. He was a big partier, and was kicked out during recording for Use Your Illusion 1 and 2 when his bandmates realized he was too drugged-up to play, and was replaced by matt sorum. The only song he contributed to use your illusion was "Civil War." He kept using drugs until a massive stroke which left his speech slurred. He now drums for his band Adler's Appetite. He has also sued former band members, like every other gunner.
It is believed that "The Spaghetti Incident?"'s title is inspired by a spaghetti fight that took place between Matt Sorum and Steven Adler.

sarajevo
One of the worlds most beautiful cities that came close to destruction during the tragic Balkan War, the event we have to thank for the term ethnic cleansing. Sarajevo was home to all ethnic groups in Yugoslavia: Catholic Croatians, Protestant Serbs, and Muslim Bosnians. Then Serb nationalists started a war with the Bosnians, and also got the Croatians caught up in it. The city of Bosnia remained ethnically diverse, with many Serbs choosing to defend it alongside Bosnians, but relations have been strained by Serb war crimes (slaughtering thousands of unarmed civilians in the largest mass murder since the Holocaust) and Bosnian war crimes (burning of Churches, excecution of all Croatian and Serbian POWs). The city is being rebuilt, and has come a long way. Everyone should go there sometime.
Sarajevo is once again one of the greatest cities in Europe. It's got everything: sights, good hotels, good food, good booze, beautiful women, and friendly people. It's coming back. Hopefuly New Orleans can do the same.

top 40
The barren desert of music. To see a good artist in the top 40 has been unheard of ever since the breakup of Nirvana. Dominated by emo, the dregs of rap,pop divas, and poser-punk acts. At least the Boy Band craze is over. When Bob Dylan's new album reached the Billboard charts this week, I was amazed.

Slash
The lead guitarist for guns n' roses from 1986 to 1996. He was the only British member of the main lineup, from the town of Stockton-on-Trent. He is one of, if not THE, greatest guitarists of all time. His riffs blend blues and metal very well, and he has a great stage presence, though Axl Rose often overshadowed it. Since leaving gnr, his bands have been Snakepit and Velvet Revolver, which also features gnr bassist Duff McKagan and gnr replacement drummer Matt Sorum. His likes are top hats, his afro, jack daniels, and cigarettes. He is a really cool guy, and is one of the few members of gnr to have a relatively minor criminal record. His only bad moment was his AMA award acceptance speach, for which he strolled on stage holding a bottle of jack. In his words: "I'd like to thank our fucking manager for fucking getting us here..."
Slash don't need no example.

Izzy Stradlin
The original rhythm guitarist for guns n' roses. He was the quiet member of the band, and didn't look for much attention. He was a pretty good guitarist, and wrote alot of the band's best songs, and co-wrote many others. He was the first gunner to give up drugs and alchohol, in 1989, though this was in part because of a court order after an arrest for disorderly conduct and indecent exposure on an airplane. He left in the middle of the use your illusion tour because of creative differences with Axl Rose.
Some of the songs that Izzy Stradlin wrote:
Patience
You Could be Mine
Rocket Queen
Mr. Brownstone
Think About You
14 Years
Double-Talkin' Jive.
