Ex-Guns N’ Roses drummer Frank Ferrer tells Rolling Stone magazine that people get Axl Rose all wrong. “People misunderstand that he’s a mean guy. I think the world thinks that he’s a scary, mean guy. And he’s the complete opposite. He doesn’t suffer fools,. but he’s generous and super funny and worried about us all the time, worried about, ‘Hey, you guys, how you guys doing?’ ‘Hey, is Frank okay? Hey Frank, are you okay?'”
Journey guitarist Neil Schon tells Guitar Player magaaizne that producers had an unusual request when they were recording ‘Don’t Stop Believin’. “They said, ‘Play something dumb.’”
Gene Simmons says he hasn’t slowed down even though he is retired. “Don’t you speed up instead of slowing down? If I see the finish line, I’ve only got two, three, a year left. You know, you speed, what are you going to do, sit on your thumb and wait to die?”
Mick Jagger tells Business Insider magazine that aging isn’t pleasant and there’s nothing good about it. “There’s nothing good about it. You can’t do things as quickly as you want to. Physically, you’ve got to be more careful. You don’t know what’s going to happen to you in life, but I personally hope to be able to tour, I like going places, I like meeting people, I like to go to weird countries to do shows.”
Huey Lewis tells Parade Magazine that he got booed the first time his band opened for the Doobie Brothers. “When we first opened for the Doobie Brothers, we got booed. Our first show, I think we had like 10 or 11 songs. As soon as a song would end, the boos would start. We learned to launch right into the next song immediately, so we didn’t give the crowd a chance to boo. After that first show, we were despondent. It was a tough reaction. I said, ‘Man, that’s terrible.’ The Doobie Brothers said, “Are you kidding? You did a lot better than (the previous opening band). They didn’t even get through the whole set. I was like, ‘Okay, well, at least we got all 10 songs in.’ We must have done 30 dates with them, and we were booed every single night.”
