I went to the Aragon a few times. I could walk there. I lived where Belmont, Clark and Halsted intersect. "Boys Town" 60657 back then. Excellent location, still cheap, but dangerous.
Tom represents the guy I always wanted to be. Viewing talent that is unknown and bringing them to the world, is Rare, and Tom actually did it. Oddly, he is not smug, not intense and nothing but a gentleman. If your seeing this Tom, my hats off to you.
While MTV turned an audio medium into a mostly visual one in the 1980s, they managed to alert young people to the fact that there were new bands out there such as G N' R, something the kids wouldn't learn from commercial radio where it wasn't unusual to feel like you'd stumbled into a world where stations were apparently designed to make you hate music.
If Motley Crue and Guns N Roses and Metallica were new bands today... What would they be doing? What would a 25-year-old Nikki Sixx and Axl Rose be doing in this shitty super lame music scene of today? It's a weird thought. Because I think they'd have a much harder time in this climate.
I remember welcome to the jungle came out and disappeared for about 6 months. Then it was rerelease with promotion then took off from there. 6 months later Slash abd Duff accepted an award with many thanks for fu.king getting us there. The next week Johnny Carson during his monologue said "That year all Oscar awards speackes will be accepted by Guns and Roses". Then the whole world was informed about the band.😁
Tom was my football coach in '78 and took me to see AC/DC and Thin Lizzy at the Aragon in Chicago. He was a great guy and his love for music is real!

Crazy lucky. Sooo many people had to be in the right place at the right time.
That 1987 Motley Crue Girls Girls Girls Tour w/ GnR as opening band was awesome. Sex Drugs and Rock n Roll!

It is crazy how close Appetite for Destruction was to being a cult record instead of a gigantic commercial success.

It took a direct call from David Geffen to air them.
Fantastic interview of Wendy wants to make it I’ll purchase her first album

Awsome
Enya has sold more records than GNR? Tom always says something in an interview that's hard to believe.
Enya: 70 millions (approx) / GNR: 150 millions (approx.)
