UYI Tour Diary

sic.

Such a thing exists, apparently. Add it to the pile which already consists of Perfect Crime (the tour-spanning documentary) and all the shows that were shot by the GNR video crew.

RAW: It's weird, on the face of it, I would have thought a tour as long as the GN'R have just finished would have been enough to drive anyone over the edge, but actually the band all seemed to slow down on the excesses and find other ways to occupy themselves - at least according to the sneak preview I've had of the tour diary.

Duff: 'You've seen that? I wish I had.'

RAW: Yeah, I can for instance, tell you what you were doing on 16 June 1992.

Duff:'What was I doing?'

RAW: You were having a row with a fan at Gateshead until Axl Rose stepped in and advised him, '˜I wouldn't mess with Duff he hasn't had a drink in two weeks! Duff laughs long and hard.

Duff:'I do remember that!'

RAW:What was that row about?

Duff:'It was just some asshole that kept throwing stuff at me. I get that a lot '˜cos like you were saying, people picture me as the Punk of the band so they figure it's cool to throw shit at me or spit at me or whatever! But no, no, I don't like it! But this guy kept throwing shit and I was about to jump in. it's such a wimpy thing to do '˜cos I'm a tall guy and an easy target.'

[...]

RAW: I can also reveal that on 10 June 1993 you went to an Oslo dentist to have a tooth removed! Do you remember that?

Duff:'Yeah, I still have it! It's a big ugly fuckin' big-ass three fuckin' rooted tooth! It doesn't look human, man, It's like this THING but it came out of my mouth and now I have this huge gap. They coulda saved it, but I didn't have the time to undergo six weeks of root canal shit and it hurt so bad I just said, '˜Please, please get it out!!! And it was so big and ugly I had to keep it!' - RAW Magazine, Sept. 1993

Awesome. I wonder if one day this kind of thing will be relesed as a massive box set or something.

I'd never heard of the tour diary - cheers for posting.

Unfortuately I think we will have to wait for a reunion before all this type of shit gets released sad

But they have a mountain of stuff that people wanna see and hear so theres plenty of $$'s sitting there waiting to be had at some point.

Slash was talking about it in his book. Apparently it's one of the things that's still tied up in their ongoing lawsuit.

The closest thing I've seen or heard about to a tour diary was the Kerrang GN'R tour special magazine that came out late 1993 or 1994. A reporter was on the road with them (I think) for most of the gigs from 1992-93 and wrote short blurbs about each gig right up until the very last show in 1993. Some very cool tidbits and photos in there.
