  • Axl's response to a technical glitch just over a verse into a performance of "November Rain" during the band's "Not in This Lifetime... Tour".
    Axl: We've been through this such a long, long—STOP. What the fuck was that?
  • Their KISS shout-out on the intro of their Live EP.
    Announcer: You wanted the best...WELL, THEY COULDN'T MAKE IT!!!
  • After a messy divorce with Erin Everly, Axl had a tendency to add a *Cough* Snark *Cough* to live performances of "Patience", a love song he had written for her. As fucked up as it is given the circumstances, you can't help but think Axl has bad memories of their marriage.
  • Axl Rose told a story once that when Izzy was in the throes of his heroin addiction, he'd be so bad that the road crew would flip his amps to stand-by so the audience wouldn't hear his sluggish playing. Not only that but when they'd see Izzy walking back to check on the problem, they'd just flip them on again and he was so wasted he simply never put together what was going on.
  • Steven Adler getting kicked out of the band was this to the public. Not that they were laughing AT him, but as Dennis Miller put it best in his 1990 stand up special: “What in the FUCK do you have to do to get kicked out of Guns N Roses?” The idea was so absurd that someone’s behavior was so bad that the hardest partying band on Earth said “enough”. Slash himself acknowledged it in his autobiography.
  • In a Crosses the Line Twice way, Axl introducing "Estranged" saying "It's a nice happy song, kind of like a walk in the park...uh...The sun coming through your window in the morning, it's a beautiful day, and you've got nothing better to do than commit hara-kiri..."
  • The ending of the video for "You Could Be Mine". The T-800 deems Axl as a "Waste of Ammo".
