West Arkeen: Discussion, Appreciation, & Reflection
« on: August 05, 2007, 12:17:28 AM »
I know that this may seem random to some or a decade late to others, but I wanted to bring special attention to GNR's original sixth member, West Arkeen.

For the uninitiated, West helped write hits It's So Easy, Patience, The Garden, Yesterdays, and sadly West died from a drug overdose in 1997.

Let's discuss and bring attention to someone like West whose talent doesn't get enough attention rather than complain (or talk about Del James  :tongue:).

Don't forget the Outpatience album, damn there are some good songs on there. Those here who have not heard it, track it down. Anxious Disease is one of the best songs guns n roses never wrote....

As far as I know, West didn't have anything to do with the song Back Off Bitch, Paul Tobias did

just out of curiosity, why do all the hangers on get so much attention on the gnr boards, for example the housekeeper chick, the housekeeper's kid, the photographer, the random friends, friends of the old managers, etc etc

not flaming just wondering, no angry ppl and no BR's need reply ty

praising the entourage is like my gf sending the garbageman a thank you note after i blow a huge load on her stomach... i mean sure w/o the garbage man the whole block would smell bad and i wouldn't be able to focus on the task at hand, but he's still the garbage man c'mon

On the Eddie Trunk show last year

Someone asks: How's West Arkeen doing these days?

uncomfortable silence

Axl: Um.  He's not


Fucked up but funny part of the show.  R.I.P. West.

Well Axl doesn't have West Arkeen or Izzy Stradlin to help him with songwriting. No wonder CD is taking so much time.
