believe it or not my uncle, Patrick Whatule, was almost the drummer for Guns and Roses. three days before he was supposed to fly to Florida to meet Axl Rose in his Miami Beach home, Axl's house burnt to the ground. my uncle, a somewhat superstitious man, took that as a bad omen. now look where the band is. most of them are on drugs, or dead from them.
true story.
