G&R songs explained, visions and taiste.

You Could Be Mine

I some how found myself backstage for one of the very first concerts promoting the Use Your Illusion Tour. I?m walking towards the band area where the members of G&R are hanging out.
I hear a familiar voice raging and screaming at someone. Axl: ?Go *%&%* yourself you slimy rat beaten blood sucker!!!! We?re not going on the *%&^%* stage until I count all of the receipts and tally up what you owe us!!! The promoter is trying to con Axl and the rest of the band but they won?t budge. Slash is standing there smiling. Izzy is smoking a cigarette. Duff is giving the promoter his finger. I saw the new drummer Matt. He was sitting very quietly. He was anxious to get on stage and get off on tonight?s performance. The band members see me and smile. Axl sees me. He says one last line to the promoter: ?Get the ^*($ out of my site and go get the receipts bitch!!!? The promoter takes off. I really thought there was going to be no performance tonight and that would be a shame. Axl looks straight dead into my eyes. He smiles. Axl: ?Hey man come over here. You want a beer?? I said ?yes?. Axl looks at some girl with blonde hair, a beautiful smile and a rock & roll body. She brings over two beers and opens them up with a key-chain bottle opener. She hands one to Axl than me. She smiles at me and my heart melts. Axl notices this and laughs. Axl: ?Yeah she has that rap down to a science.? Axl raises his beer to toast me and I did. I said to Axl: ?So are you guys going to perform tonight? I kind of overheard the promoter making demands and stuff.? Axl laughs.
He takes a swig from his beer. Axl: ?You know I want to punch that asshole right into kingdom come. These (%*% think they can push us to do whatever they please with their piss-ass demands. It?s not enough we have to go out there and work on putting on a very good show for our fans, I?ve got to deal with the lazy-ass slick cocaine jittery punks who think we are dosed up on liquor and drugs and are under the impression they got us by the balls and can manipulate us out of some money from the top of tonight?s receipts at the door!!!?
Izzy walks over to were Axl and I are. He smiled and said hello. I said: ?Hello Izzy.? Izzy: Hey how?s it going? He shakes my hand and clinks his beer to mine. Izzy: ?We go through this shit almost every other show since we?ve got signed with our last lp. One day no one is paying any attention to you. Out of know were nine months to sixteen months after the first release all of a sudden you are in demand and everyone wants a piece of you!? Axl laughs. I laugh. Izzy laughs!!! Axl: ?Yeah and they can all be ours now!!!!! Duff comes up. Duff: ?No mother fucker, you could be mine!!!!? A few yards from us Slash screams out: ?But you?re way out of line!!!?
Slash strolls over like a sleek-lead guitarist with an open Jack Daniels in his hand. I stood there now surrounded with the four original members of G&R. Even though there were some problems I sensed at that point in time they still had some brotherhood left between them. It was very cool to feel the energy they some how tapped into. Axl: ?Hey Matt come over here you freaking drum-cannon stickler!!? Matt gets up and strolls over. I shook his hand.
Now the promoter comes back with a bag of receipts and a small book. Axl see him: ?Hey mother (&#$*& what?s it going to be?? The promoter walks up and says: ?Alright. Here it?s all there. You can count it and than you guys can get out there. You?re already running 40 minutes behind and the audience is ready to tear up the seats!!!? Axl looks and hands it to another man. Axl: ?Max, count this for me and make sure it adds up to what this place holds and tally up our share of the money to the promoters contract agreement we?ve signed!!! Hurry up so we can deliver our end of the deal for Miss. Fairy Bitch here!!!? Duff: ?Scuzz ball!!?
Afterwards all backstage guests were escorted to a special area in the front of the stage.
The lights dimmed. The crowd started screaming. The first thing we can hear is Duff. Duff: ?Welcome you impatient mother (&($#& !!!?? Matt takes his seat behind the drum set. Slash can be seen but it looks like you can only see his top hat floating around. Izzy takes his side of the stage hits a few notes. Axl comes out. Goes up to the microphone and says: ?Hey, due to a bitch-slap rappin mother *^&% trying to scam us we were held up until we could sort the bullshit out!!! Anyhow??Matt???..Give us some Termination ?cause we need to clear the air!!!! (The band goes into You could be Mine as the opener for the concert. Needless to say?.the guys performed to their standards of excellence.
"With your Bitch Slap Rappin and your cocaine tongue you get nothin done"
