Joining Greg on his 30th episode is business owner and author, Kyle Hegarty. Kyle was previously a guest for Parts 1 and 2 for the review of Guns N’ Roses’ Appetite For Destruction. Kyle joins Greg LIVE IN THE STUDIO all the way FROM SINGAPORE to review Guns N’ Roses’ 2nd studio release, GN’R Lies.
Lead Singer Axl Rose's tirade at a GN'R concert in St. Louis in 1990 caused a huge riot and got them band from the entire state of Missouri. Then there was the famous incident in Montreal in 1992 when, while co-headlining with Metallica, singer/rhythm guitarist, James Hetfield got his arm seriously burned by a pyro technic on stage during their intro to their hit song, One. Metallica had to cut their set way short as James was rushed to the hospital with severe burns all over his arm. All GN'R had to do to save the day was to come out and complete a rockin’ set.
But no. A few minutes into the show, Axl grew frustrated with the sound quality from his monitors, threw his microphone down and stormed off the stage. The entire stadium rioted, and parts of Montreal burned that night. Even as a generally angry teenager already, this infuriated me.
Kyle and Greg discuss these incidents which tested our like. But their love (Kyle and Greg) for this band's music is unmatched.
