1986.07.24 - Club Lingerie, Los Angeles, USA

Kelli: Did you actually break up briefly before your show at the Lingerie?
 
Slash: No, we didn’t break up, we just had a long talk; sorted out a lot of shit.
 
Axl: There was a conflict of a lot of things and a lot of disagreements at the time of that show. I thought it was one of the worst shows we ever played. But the next day, we had to have it out. A lot of things went to our heads because this is all new to us. If we did break up, who else are we going to play with that we really value as much as we value each other?
 
Duff: We’re not the most relaxed guys. We’re not Mr. Mister, ya know. We live what we’re doing. We don’t just wear these clothes just when we play shows. So things like this are bound to happen. We think for ourselves and we don’t lit so and so tell us what to do.
 
Slash: We’re a very tense bunch of people when you really get down to it.
 
Axl: We’re very explosive, and that gets put into our music. Every one of us here is an individual. After the Lingerie show, it was like starting over again. Most of us have worked together off and on. For over 3 years, we’ve exploded on each other many times, and we always come back.
 
Duff: Basically, I think every band in the world has done this, but since we’ve become more in the public eye, it gets blown out of proportion.
 
Izzy: I think the music alone, it’ll propel this band to where we want [it] to go.
 
Duff: That’s basically what it’s all about.
