Quotes:
Duff: We played a celebratory gig at the Roxy [after being signed to Geffen], or rather two - an early show and a late show - on March 28, 1986. To be honest, the shows had been booked prior to our signing with Geffen. They were supposed to be label showcases. Events overtook our plan, however, so we took out full-page ads in the local music papers to announce the gigs: Geffen recording artists Guns N' Roses, live at the Roxy. [...]. We all had fresh tattoos at the Roxy shows, and people wanted to touch them. We felt like we ran the city that night [Duff's autobiography, "It's So Easy", 2011, p. 114].

The two shows on March 28 at the Roxy was mentioned in the band's fourth newsletter:

"So you’re down and out and think you’ve reached the end of the road? Finally, Friday, March 28th, ‘Guns N’ Roses’ does a double-header at the Roxy and like cold beer thrown in your face, the light at the end of the road at last shines! With the hardest rock band out of England, ‘Carrera’ opening the first show at 8:00 and L.A.’s own ‘Lions & Ghosts’ opening the second show at 10:00, it is sure to be the event of 1986. Our new stage show alone, will make you cum in your pants!" [Guns N' Roses Newsletter, March 1986].

I don’t want you think that we didn’t have some funny moments while Steven was in Guns and Roses. One in particular happened when he was first signed by Geffen Records. They were playing at the Roxy in Hollywood. His grandmother “Big Lilly” wanted to see him play so I took her with me. We arrived at the venue and a few minutes later I could not find her. She had gone to the front of the stage in front of all these hugh speakers and was waving to Steven and throwing him kisses. Steven was laughing. Now picture this: a 75 year old woman about 4 1/2 ft. tall in front of the stage, Right on stage where she was standing is Axl Rose wearing chaps! No underwear, just chaps, and his tushey was facing her. I ran down to the front and took her back to where we were sitting. I was laughing so hard and could see that Steven was still laughing. But you know what, she didn’t even notice Axe. She had eyes only for her grandson Steven. What a night!
