Guns n' Roses | The Dead Pool (1988) #1

Guns n' Roses tour with Motley Crue, Alice Cooper, The Rolling Stones and more! Then Clint Eastwood's kiddo gets his favorite-est band in the whole wide world to be in his dad's new movie featuring Jim Carrey and Liam Neeson. Also lots of booze and drugs and bikers and strippers! Axl Rose warms up his vocals backstage with a Queensryche song that passive-aggressively lets his band know he's sick of their heroin dependency. The "Hell House" era featuring West Arkeen and Del James is discussed. LAPD and UK journalists all show up at the biker crash pad for an epic hang. The boys from Tesla strongly imply that "Patience" was a ripoff of one of their tunes.  Many times during this era, Axl showed up to play gigs as scheduled and on time, but not always. Sly Stone shows up to use the bathroom! Many many times! Steven Adler gets in a "huge barroom brawl." Then it turns out he "punched out a street light". And then it turns out he actually just put his fist through a porch lamp outside a bar, and in doing so provided an opportunity for somebody else's drummer to take his place for a few shows while his finger healed. Living Colour's Vernon Reid has some choice words to say onstage about "One in a Million" while Axl is being forcibly pulled out of hiding and driven to the stadium with police escorts to get him onstage in time to open for the Stones that night.  Oh, and Vince Neil bravely defend's his wife's honor after Izzy Stradlin beat her up with a flurry of karate kicks and punches. OR MAYBE Vince Neil sucker punched Izzy in the dark while he was coming offstage because the lady in question told Vince a story no one else seems to be able to corroborate. Because other folks said she was blatantly putting the moves on Iz and he pushed her off him and insulted her. Could all of this simultaneously be true somehow? I would not put it past the Rock n' Roll gods to have made it so, just to fuck with us, and all the parties involved.
