TRUE LOVE

We played in Baltimore, Maryland, on October 18, and then it was on to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This was where I met my first true love. We were playing a club called the Trocadero. I went to sound check in the afternoon. There, Fred Coury, a genuinely nice guy from the band Cinderella, introduced himself to me. We were hanging out, walking around, shooting the shit, and smoking cigarettes. We entered the Troc from its main entrance. We opened the big doors, and there, standing at the bar straight ahead, was the finest ass I had ever seen. It was so tight you could palm it with one hand. She was standing with her girlfriend, and when she turned to talk with her, I saw just how perfect the whole package was. I said to Freddie, “I gotta meet that girl.” Freddie said he knew her. “Let’s go, right now.”

We walked over and Freddie introduced us. Her name was Cheryl. I was already instantly attracted to her, and after just a few minutes of conversation, I knew that this was the girl for me. She was so down-to-earth and so sweet. We hung out that entire afternoon, just getting to know each other.

That night we played our show, and after, I brought her back to my hotel room. We talked most of the time and kissed a little, but I was so impressed with her, I really wanted to take this slow. I chose to treat her right. I got her number, and I would call her every night thereafter. We talked about everything and I discovered that she’d had only two boyfriends. She told me she had sex with each only once, and each time lasted about two seconds. I sensed that she wasn’t like so many other girls who were all “take, take, take.” She wasn’t looking around to see if something better might be coming along. She hadn’t fucked a bunch of guys and she wasn’t a user. Shortly after, I would fly her out to be with me in various towns and cities.

Surprise! I was deeply in love. More on this a bit later.

Even though we had shot it, our video was not getting played. David Geffen had to call in a huge favor from the head of MTV to get one fucking airing of “Welcome to the Jungle.” They tried to bury it at like five a.m. on a Sunday morning. But guess who’s wide awake at that hour on a Sunday and just getting in from a night of partying? That’s right, kiddies, GNR Nation! Legend has it that “Welcome to the Jungle” hadn’t even gotten done with its one airing and the MTV switchboard was lighting up like a Christmas tree. They were all demanding to know one thing: when would MTV be airing the video again?

Soon we started getting played in regular rotation, and our popularity grew and grew. We went from playing clubs to theaters very quickly. On the big tours,
