Axl Rose - GTA:SA D.J.
Axl Rose of Guns 'N' Roses fame voices the K-DST 'The Dust' radio DJ in the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas under the guise of Tommy ‘Nightmare’ Smith, former lead singer of a fake 70s band called Crystal Ship (possibly named after a Doors track on their 1967 debut album).
Here's what he had to say...
"If the police can’t stop you, you must be on The Dust"
"When all your buddies from the 70s have gone to rehab, we strongly advise you to stay on The Dust".
"Music is like a drug, but listen to the same thing for a couple of days and you’re on The Dust."
"Love’s an old-fashioned word. So is the f-word. But I like that too. This is The Dust."
"What makes K-DST special are two things - me mainly, but also these guys with the records."
"Tell you what, I really can’t bear that chick on, what is it, Radio X, Rock X, Rock, er ... look, sweetheart, get over it."
"I’ve said it before, all you need to get through this life is a little patience - and a speedball."
"If you’re planning on heading out to the beach this weekend, don’t bother. It’s really not that interesting. Sand, sun, a lotta nonsense about suntans. Go out to a nightclub, drink until you puke and act like a goddamn American. You’re on the home of driving rock radio."
"Who says rock is dead? No one in this morgue, that’s for sure"
"When I die I want ‘exhume at your own risk’ put on my gravestone, you know what I mean? And if not, you’re probably an asshole."
"San Andreas, gotta love it. Move here for the weather but they hide the sun under a cloud of pollution. Look, I like to smoke as much as the next man, but you’re supposed to hold the smoke in!"

During Heart’s ‘Barracuda’ ; “Jesus, did someone screw their mother?”
Before 'Strutter' by Kiss ; "This song will put hair on your chest. It certainly did on my ex-wife’s."
Before Rod Stwerarts 'Young Turks' ; "Great Britain has produced a lot of great musicians but I doubt anyone with more gravitas, more importance, more significance than me - apart from this man. The one, the only Rod Stewart. This is ‘Young Turks’."
After 'Young Turks' ; "Young hearts beat free tonight. I love that track, it’s like opera only quicker and without all the fat Italians."
After Lynyrd Skynyrd’s ‘Freebird’: "I remember singing that song on the way to put my wife down. Just joking, people - she survived, OK?"
After The Who song ‘Eminence Front’; "I love that track; blows me away every time. In the 70s there weren’t many others that could hold a candle to Crystal Ship but I would’ve shared a stage with The Who any time. If only they’d had the vision to ask."
