Guns N' Roses Slash On Touring With Motley Crue & The Dirt (NETFLIX) Connection 

Oh man I’d LOVE to see them do a GNR movie in that same style as The Dirt

Guns N Roses opening for Motley Crue god damn I wish I went to one of those concerts

If you watched the movie the dirt. In the movie , the part when Nikki overdosed. If you noticed slash was on the couch.

Young slash is my favorite person of ALL time

Actually according to Tommy, it was Nikki’s balls on slash’s chin right after Guns’n’roses tried to out party Mötley Crüe

I saw GnR & Motley Crue in December of 1987. ❤👍

My first time seeing GNR was when they opened for Iron Maiden. Awesome concert. It was my first concert.

To this day I have never seen an interview were Slash gets cocky about his success he has got to be one of the more humble guitarist out there.

Slash: the autobiography is a must read!

My very first concert. Nov 10 1987. My 14th birthday. Never heard of GnR before but loved Motley Crue. Left the show with GnR Lies and Appetite cassette tapes and two concert shirts . My buddy caught a Tommy Lee drumstick and traded it for a Guess leather jacket. Tommy was flipping his drum set. What a night.

"They took us in like proud parents and...... gave us all the cocaine and heroin a kid could dream of"

That was my first show in Atlanta. I was 11 and bummed that WS wasn't going to be there. GNR killed it

Never ever piss off a grandmother!!!😂

3:08 "You know, sometimes I like a big long mic" 😂 😂 😂 😂

GNR could have been so much bigger if not for the drugs and alcohol. Axl was so volatile on his own. AFD is one of the best albums of all time.

As a teenager in the 80s I thought groups like Bon Jovi, Poison and Motley Crue were awful. Girls in my class liked those groups. GnR on the other hand I respected as a real rock group.

Small correction: I was at the Atlanta show. A fan approached the stage with some roses and the security stopped her. Axel got pissed and said "No one fucks with my fans!" and jumped into the crowd. All I saw was fists flying. They handcuffed Axel and marched him out of the arena. The band played Zeppelin covers for 45 mins. So, no, the cops didn't arrest him onstage. He even says later he dove into the barricade area. This was the second show the GGG tour played in Atlanta. 11/22/1987

I too occasionally go on a verbal plectrum of curse words

I've seen a ton of 80s & 90s bands. Motley put on phenomenal live shows.

But the Success was Phenominominal!!!!

Oh man this is in my wheelhouse. Humor me for a moment if you will. I had just turned 14 years old, and my favorite band in the world was Motley Crue, who had released Girls, Girls, Girls, and were the biggest thing on the planet. So when word came that they were coming to Charlotte in November of 1987, I was in. It was Motley Crue and some band nobody had ever heard of called Guns N Roses. I ended up going with 2 chicks, friends of mine, one of which had a mom who worked as a DJ at a local radio station, and scored us amazing seats right right by the side of the stage. It was my first rock concert, and I was buzzing with anticipation. Then the lights went out, the crowd erupted, and my whole world was about to change. Guns N Roses took the stage like a hurricane. They fucking EXPLODED. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. They looked like cartoon characters! The energy was ecstatic, and Axl was something to behold. He owned that stage. They blew every circuit in my little teenage mind. It was everything great rock and roll should be, and then some. My ass never hit the seat the whole time they played. Then Motley Crue took the stage, and I must confess, I was quite underwhelmed after seeing Guns N Roses. There wasn't anywhere near the energy, the attitude, or the raw grit GNR had put on magnificent display. It seemed almost hollow by comparison, and looking back, it makes sense, as they were fat and sassy on their third headlining world tour, and GNR were HUNGRY and on the uptake. Guns N Roses blew Motley Crue off the stage, and it wasn't even close. I ended up sitting down for a while, almost bored at the comparison. When I got home, my little brother, another Crue fan, was up waiting on me, excited, wearing his little Motley Crue shirt he got at Carowinds with the sleeves cut out, and upon sight said, "SO...HOW WAS MOTLEY CRUE?" I said "DUDE, there's this band Guns N Roses..." and went on a tirade about how great they were, how they were my favorite band in the world, and he just stood there looking at me, completely confused. It was like the veritable meteor crashing into the earth. Changed everything for me. Made me pickup a guitar, which in time made me become a musician. It was AMAZING.

I somewhat remember the Girls,Girls,Girls concert here in OKC and I could've swore WhiteSnake opened for them, or might have been Winger...definitely not GNR

Slash said he used to camp outside a recording studio where Crue was recording hoping to catch Nikki n his cocaine encrusted cronies live. But now GnR is way way way bigger, better n, once Izzy comes back, will come up with the best Hard Rocking album of all time.

In the dirt, the part where Nikki is at the party, steven adler, duff mckagan and slash were at the party

I saw Motley and Faster Pussy Cat in Feb 1990. Was a damn good show and being a big Motley fan if they were unable to perform well I would have known in a heart beat. They sounded great and the show was tight.

I saw guns open up for iron maidens 7th son tour……the next day I walked into a coffee shop and slash and duff (I think it was duff) were walking out…..slash asked me for a cigarette….lol….I told him I didn’t smoke and kept on walking……you must remember that guns weren’t well known back then but I certainly recall that it was slash….lol….I met slash 20 years later but this time I stayed for a few words!!!

My first concert was motley cure & guns in 1987 in Atlanta at the civic center..amazing awesome show..I was hooked

I want a guitar pick that says "A Plectrum of Curse Words."

I was at the '87 Atlanta show. GNR lasted about twenty minutes before Axel lost his mind and tried to fight half of Atlanta's finest. Slash tried to get the audience to tear the place up so they would let his singer back up on stage but it didn't work. They played "Communication Breakdown" with roadie on vocals and called it a night shortly after that. Me and my buddies were a little pissed cause we were as fired up about seeing Guns as much or more than seeing the Crue. All in all good time was had by all. Go Dawgs!

Tommy Lee was married to Heather Locklear not Nikki sixx

Editing skills 10/10

This is all straight out of slash’s book

Watching that interview even though they were kind of wasted you could Tell Slash could still get his point across and made the point that his grandma was not someone to mess with. I actually thought it was a pretty decent interview cush words and all they were being honest and genuine. Duff seemed very smart and kind of the most likeable out of all the members.

I’d loved to seen these bands back in the day, I’ve heard great things about Mötley Crüe live back in the day, not so much these days. Guns N’ Roses I heard they were awesome also if they showed up not to wasted, a buddy said the worst thing he saw was Guns on tour with Aerosmith, but later shows he loved. He also let a young guy like me, that these guys, Kiss, Def Leppard and Aerosmith were the best shows he’s seen, but Bon Jovi was in the 80’s was his all time favorite

There would be nothing greater than a Motley/GnR co-headline tour. Sure beats the hell outta Def Leppard thats for sure.

Motley crue the best band in the world 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Slash's diatribe reminds me of Nigel in the dressing room complaining to Ian about the sandwich platter

I remember when Guns N' Roses opened for Motley Crue here in Chattanooga it was November 21, 1987, my15th birthday... I didn't get to go sadly, but i heard from friends that did go that most of Motley Crue were wasted and in no shape to perform ( especially Nikki ) & that GnR was the better band in every way which was later confirmed by the local rock station KZ106

Best days of my youth. Love ❤️ I know things got better.

this started out really really good then lost steam about halfway thru.

Nowadays, Duff Slash & Steve can’t abuse themselves or they will die.

Hey is it me or did u fix the volume discrepancy on the intro? I know I said it was too loud but now it may be too low lol

“I’ve been teabagged for all the world to see”

Respect to the living legends.

OMG Doc rolling Tommy through an airport😂😂😂

Slash put a comdom on the henkinen bottle..lol..lmao😂🤣😭

This is why I have been saying for a gazillion years that the Crue is the most misunderstood and most underrated rock band in ages. They had WAY MORE in common with Gn'R and their look and attitude than all these phony LA bands like Poison and whatever. Slash knew Nikki for ages. Slash talks about in his book and in Nikki's "The Heroin Diaries" how Van Halen and the Crue were the only LA bands he liked. Gn'R actually looked up to the Crue, and as it turned out, where less wild the Crue were.

GNR was kind of different to contemporary hair band like Crue or Poison. They opposed big hair, make up, spikes or other metal bullshit of the day. They even bring back the classic gears to their stage performance such Les Paul and Gretsch falcon instead Kramer or Jacksons V, minimize drums kit instead of Van Halen'is busy drum kit that favourite among the hairbands, they really starts a new trend of metal.

CLASSIC TOUR

Whitesnake DID open for Motley on the Girls, Girls, Girls tour... at least for a few stops. I know. I saw the show in Phoenix and thought the order should have been flipped. Coverdale and friends nailed it. The only thing about Crue that stood out for me was Tommy's wild drum solo.

I was at that concert in Lakeland Florida when GNR opened up for Motley crew. Met Axel rose and he was extremely nice to me, he signed my ticket we talked about Indiana because I'm from Indiana and he was very pleasant he excused himself. He said he said he wanna go smoke some weed.

saw this show in Lakeland FL in Nov of 87 about a month before Nikki od'ed

thankyou for new information i love to learn more about 80s rock bands and such.

Rock N' Roll!

I still regret not being able to go to the Lakeland show. I remember my friend Michelle, who was my friends younger sister, and a devout Motley Crue fan, (she would sketch their portraits, meet them back stage to get their autographs, and they would keep them) told me about this band Guns n' Roses that she thought I would really like, boy was she right!! Found them on MTV about a week later, and have been a diehard fan ever since!!...iiii]; )'...

damn slash is making me jealous with that super nod.

Holy shit. . 0:28. .was that an actual print on a tour shirt or poster? I must have that! Anyone can direct me to this pic somewhere?

Wow, i was at that Lakeland, FL show. It was great.

Man, those were the days when through year old RS n other magazines we learned about the fight between Vince n Izzy n how Axl stood up for his Indiana friend ( no internet in 89-90 in Mizoram, India).

How old was slash here, wow his voice sounds way different

great bands great movie

The perils of rock and roll decadence.

I was at that Atlanta show!

That movie will kickstart the cow again$$$$%$$$$$$$$$$$

"You know, sometimes... I like a big, long mic." - Slash

I was there !! There was many people at the Franklin that night and we almost split

Your voice reminds me of Rock and Roll true stories.

While growing up, we really saw Motley as hillbilly rock, GNR were really revolutionary in taking rock grom the 70's into the 80s and saving the scene....

"Slash once again found himself dragging a corpse into the shower". You know, taken out of context that's...

I love that interview where Slash is going on about grandma , God he's cute ... lol

Rock Stars are so intelligent.............you can tell by their interviews.......... And I am sooooooo being a smartass

I watched from 3rd row center at the Hollywood Sportatorium as Crue's Roadies climbed the ladders up into the light rigs with Peperidge Farm gold fish bags in their hands wondering WTF they were doing.. Slash wasn't joking about it taking a week to get all that flour out of his hair.. I'll never forget that as long as I live...

I went to this show...one of five times I've seen Crue 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

The flour... what about when they hiked up G'n'R with pyro so when they kicked into "WELCOME" pyro went off and they looked like skool kids they were sooo happy! Gawddamn mann.... read the Dirt, Heroin Diaries and Slash's book.

Great video!

I was at the Atlanta show when Axl got arrested.

being that high that they have to carry you around is dream of mine

Thanks for sharing

Why have I seen sooooooo many concerts of both of these bands and have never seen them perform together

They were fucked up! Man ppl take care of themselves their whole life and die outta the blue... these guys were doing everything and still rock 🤘🏽😎

One of my favorite shows. Maple leaf gardens. Whitesnake and the crue! Girls girls girls tour.

Slash... I was Tea bagged for their Backstage pass photo for the world to see lol...

1,2, and 3 please!!!!!

Ahh! Those were the days! Oh how I wish the bands of today could be as wild and crazy as Guns and Mötley were. Now everybody is so fucking wimpy and afraid to "offend" anybody. Sheesh! Are we adolts or cry babies!?

THA good old days

👍 love the tales of debauchery 🥴

I saw GNR and Motley Crue in Jackson Mississippi in 1987.. I was 13. My parents dropped me off!

I saw the guns/motley show and saw whitesnake/great white the same year.

The guns n' roses are 15 musicians who turn in4-5 albums of which 3 really valid. they rode the wave of real hair metal bands without risking their own, they started as a support group of the motley crue and copied them : female choirs, blond singer. a cross between poison ,motley crue , skid row. brilliant covers extremely commercial and here are the guns. what movies could you invent? I don't know at all. at most given the "sympathy", a film about "axel and its feuds" with slash, kurt cobain , vince neil, def leppard, etc. etc. after the sex pistols are the "big brother" of rock

you guys!

Mötley is my second favorite band After Guns 'N Roses

Search here for (Sucker For a Pretty Face) by RockCandy, it's a great under rated 80s rock album! Also search here for (Sinful Demo Album 1985) it features Nuno Bettencourt B4 Extreme and Jose Anes B4 RockCandy! Enjoy

so much fun watching zoom-ins on old pics....hey documentary producers- TRY HARDER!

Saw the girls tour 87, in providence ri, I was 17 and me and my 2 friends took a train from boston and hitchhiked back to boston after the show, quite adventurous, motley was on fire amazing show, I had seen them on their last 2 tours as well the theartre of pain in lynn mass 85 but in 84 I saw them at the orpheum theartre boston, best show ever the shout at the devil tour with ratt opening up, but the night in providence, whitesnake opened they bored me lame.

Hey this is tommy I need a number 1-10

Dirt was soooooo good!

Slash just spoke 87% of his total vocal output of the 1980's.

A "verbal plectrum"? A talking guitar pick?

Slash❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💥💥💥💥

I thought it was Steven that was with Nikki when he overdosed?
