5. "...but what about supporting gay marriage? 'I'm a Christian. The answer to that would be no,' he replied."





2. "Slash, From a guitar perspective is the last true Guitar God in our midst."

1. "Back in my country, my president is trying to pass a gun ban. So he's staging all of these murders, like the Fast and Furious thing down at the border and Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there. And now the beautiful people at the Sikh temple."
