Bizarro Axl

[jujuhound]

I think Axl Rose is still relevant today because of his unapologetic view towards his fame and being a rock star.  IMO what continues to fascinate/annoy people about him is:  

1.  His chronic lateness.   When it comes to delivering new albums, showing up for concerts, giving interviews, dealing with his fans, etc..  He lives on "Axl Time," the rest of us will just have to wait.  Especially if an NBA finals game is on TV at the time.    

2.  He's got brass balls and doesn't give a fuck what we think:  Firing Steven Adler in 1990.  Making fans wait 4 years for "Use Your Illusion" and then releasing the project as 2 seperate CD's on the same day (he originally wanted it to come out as a 4LP box set).  

3.  He's still doesn't give a fuck:  Allowing Izzy, Slash, Duff & Matt Sorum to leave.  Carrying on using the name Guns N Roses as the only original member.  Not since Dave Gilmour decided to tour and record as Pink Floyd has such a daring move been made.  

4.  He incites riots & doesn't lose a minute's sleep afterwards!  I count four... so far.  St. Louis 91, Montreal 92, Vancouver 02 & Philadelphia 02.  No aplogies from Axl.  He ususually just blames the arena, shoddy security, the police, media or the fans.  And flies back to his mansion in Hollywood before any charges can be filed.  

5.  His unpredictability on stage: With Axl live you never know what's gonna happen.  He could walk off stage after 4 songs because he can't hear himself in the PA.  Or he'll threaten or eject fans in the audience for taking his picture, giving him the middle finger or wearing a T shirt he finds offensive.  He might give the best performance you've ever seen or make you wonder why exactly this guy is famous.  

6.  His bizarro actions: Hiring a guy with a KFC bucket & mask to play lead guitar.  Using 6 teleprompters on stage to help him remember the lyrics to his songs.  Seeing psychotherapists who look at "past life regression."  Telling the media Slash paid an uninvited  late night visit to his tightly secured mansion in order to bash his Velvet Revolver bandmates from his front lawn.  

With Axl it's never boring...

People need to be educated about grammer. Until we've all learned grammar then we can stop correcting each other.

Think about it, if we don't worry about correct grammar than we all might as well be japanese immigrants.
