Guns N' Roses Member Not A Fan Of The Band

(Rock News Desk) Guns N' Roses bassist Tommy Stinson was never a fan of Axl Rose's band � and the singer had no time for the bassist's outfit, the Replacements. And Stinson doesn't class himself as a rock musician, despite having been a leading member of GnR for twelve years now.

He tells Spin: "What I do in Guns isn't necessarily who I am. I'm not a heavy rock guy any more than I am a singer-songwriter guy like Paul Westerberg was with the Replacements.

"When I met Axl he told me that he and his tour manager had come to see us in some club � and they were not impressed. He and I both had a chuckle about the facts he wasn't a Replacements fan and I wasn't a Guns fan."
