When you read, you begin with ABC. When you sing, you begin with do-re-mi.
But when it comes to LSD, you really need look no further than the front man,
visionary and credit-taker par excellence for Guns N' Roses. Though Guns began as a band, midway
through the campaign
... more for their legendary debut album, "Appetite for Destruction," Rose's megalomania was
well on its way to rendering it a solo project. Next came the onslaught of
lineup changes, the egregious wardrobe choices and, of course, the ultimate Lead
Singer Disease symptom: the 10-minute power ballad. In Rose's case, "November
Rain." (Which, apparently, is cold.) Relegated by his own impossible standards
to an exile of session players and collaborators who have to sign nondisclosure
agreements, Rose is also that rare LSD victim who has taken the disease to its
furthest extent: He almost never performs or releases music anymore. Depending
on your attitude, this is either a happy or a sad eventuality.
