‘Axl locked himself in his apartment and wouldn’t communicate with anybody.’ In desperation Niven told Izzy to go there and talk Axl down. ‘Get him to come. It’s gonna be good. It’s gonna be cool.’ Izzy did as his manager asked, but when he got there Axl wouldn’t let him in. ‘They tried talking through the door and that wouldn’t work and Izzy came back and reported that to me.’

Izzy told Alan: “He’s locked up in his bedroom and he won’t come to the door.”

Alan asked if there was any way Izzy could talk to him in his bedroom and Izzy said, “Well, there’s a tree outside his fucking bedroom window.” Niven looked at him and said, “Go climb the fucking tree and talk to him!” So Izzy goes off. He climbs the fucking tree and there’s Izzy hanging in the fucking tree, going, “Come on, dude, it’s Aerosmith. It’s gonna be cool. Let’s go. We all wanna go.” And Axl’s like, “FUCK OFF! I DON’T WANNA DO IT!” True story.’
