Quotes:
If I had to choose my favorite show of the tour, it was The Paradiso in Amsterdam. The venue is amazing: it is a dark, foreboding building that used to be a church. Inside the main hall are high ceilings, arches, and great acoustics. [...] I remember Axl going off on old rock stars that night during the set: I don't recall his exact words but the gist of it was that any older-generation rock star who felt that we were ripping them off was right - we were, but we were doing it better. I think he capped that speech off by telling Paul Stanley to suck his dick [Slash's autobiography, p 208]

Izzy was mesmerized by Amsterdam:

Like the cabby said, "Speed limit? What speed limit—who cares? Prostitution—who cares? It's legal. Drugs—who cares? You can buy anything you want." It's the most degenerate place I've ever been. [...] In Amsterdam, they have fucking hash bars with menus of all the different types of hash.

I walked into a hash bar looking for this character (gestures toward Steve) and the air was like paste.
