I was 17 and left Indiana because I had a disagreement with one of the juvenile detectives. He was determined to put my ass in jail, and I was determined to get the fuck out of Dodge. As he was driving to my house, I was getting my clothes out of the dryer, and getting the fuck out of Dodge. I had about 35 bucks and I took a bus to St. Louis...Then I went out by whatever freeway I was closest to and hitched a ride with some air conditioning repairman in a van. It all seemed pleasant and safe enough, and nothing really much happened. I was exhausted, beaten, never been out of my fucking town on my own, in my life. We went to some fucking hotel and I crashed out, and this guy crashed out, and I woke up, and this guy was trying to fuck me. I don't care - you can be male, female, you can be a fucking dog - I don't care what you are, man. That shit ain't right...Anyway, I pinned this guy against the wall between the door of the hotel with my straight razor, and it took everything I had inside of me not to fucking slice his jugular vein. So that was kinda my first experience of knowing where I was. Do you know where you are?

An interview in the beginning

I found an interview from the beginning of the band. I'm bringing it here so you can see a bit of the humor and sarcasm that Izzy had.

Axl spoke most of the interview in a low, somewhat serious voice, while Izzy was in the background making comments like:"We don't care about that", "That's a stupid question", "Next" or "Fuck your interview".

On the other hand, Duff seemed drunk, Steven was trying to flirt with a girl who was there and Slash seemed to be the mediator trying to solve the band's problems.

The interviewer (a woman) began to ask the ages of the members, everyone looked seriously at each other, until they spoke:

Axl:"Sure, we'll reveal our ages."

Duff:"Yeah, we don't care, I'm nineteen years old"

Axl:"I am twenty-four"

Slash:"No, Duff is twenty-two and I'm nineteen"

Izzy:"This is really not relevant..."

Slash:"Come on, say it..."

Izzy:"Axl isn't twenty-four, he's a million years old! He's seen it all!"

The interviewer: "Now let's go with the real ages"

Izzy:"What about the shit about ages? We don't care about that shit"

Slash:Izzy is twenty-three and Steven is twenty-one"

Izzy:"Write that for the Rainbow, so they'll let us through."

(...)

Slash:"Yes, I mean...I loved my dog"

Izzy:"But then the dog died and now he has Steven!"

Steven:"Oh fuck you!"

Izzy Stradlin N' a kid

Slash,Duff and Axl.

The "help me please" breaks my heart. The man asked for help so many times. He honestly deserves being so happy now...

«His howl was pure, unadulterated rage and anguish, not a vocal exercise; clearly, the first time that sound came out of him, it had come from the pit of his stomach»

I’ve just squirted everywhere

Following the previous post, there’s also a report of young Axl being hit by a car when crossing the road. He really seemed to have caught no break in life, poor boy.

And there’s a picture I found of Izzy’s cousin who, according to Izzy, was a bit of a bully to them in high school and Axl fought him in Izzy’s absence. Turned out he was a professional athlete. Pretty brave of Axl to pick a fight with that guy given their size difference tbh.
