But Guns N’ Roses wasn’t always well received by the Punk Rock fans as Slash recalledĪs Slash recalled in a conversation with Metal Hammer back in 2019, Guns N’ Roses wasn’t always well received by the Punk Rock fans in the early days. ‘Heaven’s Door’ and ‘Live and Let Die’ were songs Axl and I both thought about doing,” Slash said. ‘Don’t Care About You’ is something I wanted. ‘New Rose’ is something Duff wanted to do, I think. Talking with Rolling Stone magazine in 1991, before the release of the record, Slash revealed that the song “I Don’t Care About You” by Fear was one of the tracks that he chose to be covered by the group on the album. The record also covered artists that influenced Punk music like: The Stooges, New York Dolls and Johnny Thunders. The other bands are: The Damned, U.K Subs, Dead Boys, Misfits and Fear. The Punk Rock influence on Guns N’ Roses music was showned by them when they picked several Punk Rock songs to re-record on their 1993 covers album “The Spaghetti Incident?”, which was also the last one to feature Slash and bassist Duff McKagan.īesides a version for “Black Leather”, song originally recorded by The Professionals, band formed by the Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones and drummer Paul Cook after the end of the band the record also had other Punk versions.

Slash recognized in an interview with NME back in 2007 that the famous British Punk band Sex Pistols were an influence. The Sex Pistols were an influence to Slash But as a whole, I always thought it was a little bit of a Glam fest,” Slash said. There was some really great bands that came out of the L.A Punk scene. I even loved The Germs even though I thought The Germs were sort of like, I don’t know. Or what was coming out of New York as far as I was concerned.” But my whole thing about Punk in L.A was that it was more of a fashion statement than it was coming out of England.

There were some really great Punk bands that came out of L.A. I guess I was probably 13, 14, 15 during that (time) Punk sort of reign.
