Guns 'n' Roses frontman Axl Rose was often asked about his musical inspirations. "The two records I always buy if there's a cassette deck around and I don't have the tapes in my bag," he declared, "are the Sex Pistols' Never Mind the Bollocks and Queen II."
And if he were stranded on a desert island and could only have one? "I'd be in a bind... I might go with the Pistols," he finally decided, "because maybe a boat would hear me if I played it."
