Svankj - Someday We All Die Why Give’n To Tiny Suicides?

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!"

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?

About a year ago I dug around old newspapers and found some interesting facts about Axl’s childhood, just thought I’d post them here cuz some of you might be interested.

Due to the ten-pic limit, in this post I mostly included stuff about his biological father who, if the following accounts are true, was a habitual criminal and an overall unstable, aggressive person.

According to the logs, when Axl’s mother filed for divorce for the first time her request was rejected by the court. She was allegedly found with a Purdue student one night, and the next day Rose Sr. kidnapped Axl, then aged two, leading local authorities to finalise the divorce.

There’s also a report of Rose Sr.’s attempt to chase down the car of that said student post-divorce. Just, wow, crazy stuff.

Axl Rose is my favorite trans woman.

Izzy Stradlin in shire

"Back then he was Izzy Bell. He looked a lot like Nikki Sixx"

The ads on a weekly basis and soon found their next bass player, Izzy Stradlin, who went on to gain fame as rhythm guitarist for Guns N’ Roses. “Back then he was Izzy Bell,” says Santalesa of Stradlin, “He looked a lot like Nikki Sixx and had a lot of energy. He was very enthusiastic.” (This contrary to the current heroin chic persona Stradlin sports today.)

Santalesa goes on to say that Stradlin was always more of a punk at heart, counter to Shire’s melodic power metal sound. He says “[Izzy] wanted to do a Ramones song and I added a solo, so everyone thought that was funny. He was the first guy I saw wearing creepers so he was ahead of his time.”

Ultimately, Stradlin would leave the band when “his friend Bill Bailey came from Indiana in 1983, so he started doing his thing with him.” (Bill would be GnR singer Axl Rose.)

Axl Rose Interview

"There's a lot of violence in the world. That's the environment we live in and we like to show what we live in rather than hide it and act like everything is nice and sugary.

Everybody likes to paint their pretty pictures, but that just ain't how it is.

It just seems easier to know the rougher side (of life) than the more pleasant side just because it's more readily accessible.

It seems like when you come to this town unless you are part of the mommy's-boy-daddy's-money poseur rock scene they try to puke you right out," said Rose.

"You fight for your place.

I remember two years of standing at the Troubadour and talking to no one, not knowing what to do, and everybody thinking they're so cool. Eventually we did our own thing, made new friends, and brought a new crowd to the Troubadour."
