I wish you could see this
cuz there’s nuthin’ ta see
-GnR, “Coma”
To this day I’m not sure anyone has ever heard that lyric like I have.
I met Axl Rose once, with my girlfriend. They were on tour w/The Cult for that debut record. She was a Cult chick but we both went for Guns n’ Roses. We both knew what mattered going forward. We met both Axl and Slash in the drive-thru at the Del Taco, a reasonable period after the show. Neither of them were steering the car through the line - that chick from Candyman was. We ran all up on them, I had a cassette J-card. We wanted an autograph. I told Axl how I’d “scouted” them in Hit Parader. And how I knew blah blah, and why would that come about anyway? And he talked to me. Like a regular dude. For a fair length of time.
The girls got antsy. Big hair Slash was in the back completely tanked. He couldn’t give a shit one way or the other. “Here, sign this also Slash” Mr Rose would insist. We held up the line. He wanted to know about what I knew. He wanted to know what he knew so I could know. He wanted to fucking hear from a fan. It was early on and they had not blown up yet but - I saw a dude.
So it would remain particularly difficult for me, in the years that followed, what had happened. To Axl. But I could hear it. In that lyiric.
“Get the fuck off of me. I don’t care if you’re the chick from Candyman and you have the wheel currently. I’m gonna be huge. And I’ll have no fucking clue how to deal with that at all. Throw your tits at big hat guy instead. I want unbroken ocean.”
And that would blow my brain apart.
He wouldn't know how to properly deal with success?
Yeah.
Furthermore. I believe he meant oblivion would be preferable, with that line. And it’s something I would consider, at the time. Or nearly after. For myself. I nearly went and off myself, so much was wrong in those days.
But I didn’t. By pure accident.
And THAT one. I owe to Candlebox.
