Regrets:

True Story: November 1987, I was shooting Guns N' Roses on the Motley Crue Girls Girls Girls tour in Columbia, South Carolina. Staying in the same hotel and same floor as GN'R, I forgot my key and locked myself out of the room. I make my way to the elevator, the doors open and I enter. A shadowy figure is standing in the corner wearing a black leather trench coat.

After a minute I realize it's Izzy Stradlin (guitarist for GN'R) and I can't help but wonder how long he has been on the elevator. We made small talk about the show that had taken place two hours before, Izzy pulls out a cigarette and asks for a light. I don't smoke but I suggest we can get matches at the front desk.

We get off the elevator and make our way to the front desk but Izzy keeps on walking, right out the front doors. After showing 20 pieces of identification I was given a replacement key and Stradlin walks with two young ladies under each arm. They walk up to where I am standing, Izzy presents one of the ladies and says "she's with you, it's cool..."
