- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: "My World" coming in at the end of Use Your Illusion II. Axl wrote that song all by himself while nurturing a love of Nine Inch Nails, and put it on without informing the other band members. Slash only found out about the song after buying a copy of II.
- Protection from Editors: Both albums are a lesser example of this (especially in comparison to Chinese Democracy), but it's clear that they had no leash.
- Retroactive Recognition: A year before the release of the first Blind Melon album, Shannon Hoon contributed backing vocals to six songs on Use Your Illusion I note , where he's credited in the liner notes simply as "Shannon". He's probably most recognizable on "Don't Cry", "You Ain't The First", and "The Garden". The "Don't Cry" video also featured Hoon performing alongside the band.
