Yes–but only for one night. In 1989, at the Hollywood premiere of Depeche Mode’s concert film 101, the Guns N’ Roses singer introduced himself to the band as a huge fan–proving it by reciting the lyrics to their mournful song “Somebody.” He then brought them to the Cat House, a favorite heavy-metal club. But when Rose left the Mode, he continued his evening at a friend’s barbecue in Beverly Hills, where he reportedly shot a pig. A band spokesman soon announced that “as strict vegetarians, the band were appalled by [Rose’s] behavior and do not wish to associate themselves with anyone who goes round shooting pigs for fun.”
