10 Most Infamous Guns N' Roses Moments

5. Guns N' Roses Destroy The 'Headbangers Ball' Set

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oLhlcJgasU If you're having some remodelling done and you don't care what happens, why not get Guns N' Roses to come in and help with the dismantling? Guns had their very first interview on MTV 'Headbanger's Ball' in October 1987, just a few months after the release of their debut album 'Appetite for Destruction' - being compared to the Rolling Stones in the very opening of the piece. The interview covered the bands current touring plans, which included an opening act for Iron Maiden, before discussing their future methods of world domination. Steven Adler sits in the corner during his interview constantly rearranging his hat, without really saying anything, leading one to assume that the band have been busy partying before arriving. As Axl attempts to answer questions seriously, note the moment where Slash flips off the cameraman, mentioning in his autobiography years later that it was this moment of corporate defiance he remains most proud of. After the presenter had finished talking with the guys that evening he encouraged them to help in the remodelling by dismantling the set. GNR were all too happy to oblige and the band members (most of whom looked as though they'd gone a few rounds already) proceeded to break and smash everything in sight as the confused host wondered how good of an idea his suggestion had really been. It may have been staged, or tailored, but the moment helped firmly cemented Guns N' Roses as a dangerous band and worth watching - especially to the youth of America.
