On Guns N' Roses' first tour, something rather crazy happened on the way from Los Angeles to Seattle. What was it?
What is The car broke down and they tried to walk to Seattle. Guns N' Roses went on this tour with some friends who happened to be brothers. A few hours into the journey, their van broke down. They managed to push it to a garage, but it turned out that it would take two days to get the van repaired. So, the band decided to keep walking for the two days and their friends would pick them up on the way after the van was repaired. Source: Wall, "W. Axl Rose" (Biography), 2007.

On a tour, Guns N' Roses was traveling with another metal band. The other band's drummer started to annoy them, so they taped him up and put him in a hotel elevator. What band was it?
What is Faster Pussycat. In Slash's book, he claimed that drummer Mark Michaels kept following the members of Guns N' Roses, so they decided to tie him up and put him on an elevator shaft.

When Slash was in the band Tidus Sloan in the early '80s, the band was asked to play at a birthday party. When they got there, it turned out to be a child's party at her grandmother's house. The band stayed there for a night, but what was the crazy thing they did while they were there?
What is Drank all the drinks in the house and vomited. Slash played in Tidus Sloan before he joined Hollywood Rose. It was Slash's first band and it didn't even have a singer!
