Tom Zautut, an A&R Executive at Geffen Records, spotted Guns N' Roses performing at The Troubadour in West Hollywood and was keen to sign them on the spot. However, there was interest elsewhere so Zautut ingeniously told other A&R's that GnR “sucked” to distract them. Axl Rose demanded a $75,000 advance from Zautut before telling him an A&R rep from Chrysalis was willing to walk the streets of LA naked in order to sign them. Fortunately for Zautut, GnR were his five days later.
