The cover of Appetite for Destruction was originally depicting a robot rapist and a sexually assaulted woman, but was changed due to backlash from stores refusing to sell it.

An interview with the Rolling Stones in 1989:

“I used words like police and n*****s because you’re not allowed to use the word n****r. Why can black people go up to each other and say, "N****r,” but when a white guy does it all of a sudden it’s a big put-down. I don’t like boundaries of any kind. I don’t like being told what I can and what I can’t say. I used the word n****r because it’s a word to describe somebody that is basically a pain in your life, a problem. The word n****r doesn’t necessarily mean black. Doesn’t John Lennon have a song “Woman Is the N****r of the World”? There’s a rap group, N.W.A., N*****s with Attitude. I mean, they’re proud of that word. More power to them. Guns N’ Roses ain’t bad… . N.W.A. is bad! Mr. Bob Goldthwait said the only reason we put these lyrics on the record was because it would cause controversy and we’d sell a million albums. Fuck him! Why’d he put us in his skit? We don’t just do something to get the controversy, the press.“

"When I use the word immigrants, what I’m talking about is going to a 7-11 or Village pantries - a lot of people from countries like Iran, Pakistan, China, Japan et cetera, get jobs in these convenience stores and gas stations. Then they treat you as if you don’t belong here.” and “Maybe I should have been more specific and said, "Joe Schmoladoo at the 7-11 and f****ts make no sense to me.” That’s ridiculous! I summed it up simply and said, “Immigrants.”“

"I’m pro heterosexual. I can’t get enough of women, and I don’t see the same thing that other men can see in men. I’m not into gay or bisexual experiences. But that’s hypocritical of me, because I’d rather see two women together than just about anything else. That happens to be my personal, favorite thing.”

“No! I never have. The most I do is, like, on the way to the Troubadour in "Boystown,” on Santa Monica Boulevard, I’ll yell out the car window, “Why don’t you guys like p*ssy?” 'Cause I’m confused. I don’t understand it. Anti-homosexual? I’m not against them doing what they want to do as long as it’s not hurting anybody else and they’re not forcing it upon me. I don’t need them in my face or, pardon the pun, up my ass about it.“

"It was just publicly announced that we weren’t allowed to do it because the Gay Men’s Health Crisis wouldn’t let us. I don’t feel they have the right to deny the money and attention they would have gotten from us playing. It’s pride, it’s ignorant and it’s childish” (On the subject of being bounced from the AIDS benefit by the Gay Men’s Health Crisis due to the lyrics of their song “One in a Million”.)

“I think love and lust go hand in hand, like good and evil. One without the other is not complete […]”
