AXL'S HOSPITAL VISIT

[cat&ratlover]

Axl wants publicity? Uh, yeah, right. Where was there a press conference, reporters and journalists at the hospital? Come on people, maybe Axl like a lot of us, had someone close to him die of cancer. Maybe because a lot of GNR fans are kids. Maybe because he likes kids. I think what Axl did, he did out of sincerity. He's not a selfish young man anymore. This is what should happen when one grows up. You start to care about other people and try to make a difference, even if it is small. It's called humanity.

Alright I apoligize it to everyone he did it out of the goodness of his heart.

[Cold Heartbreaker]

Why would Axl visit a teenage cancer hospital, and let a bunch of cameras come and take photos of him with the sick kids?

I know you already apologized, but I don't think Axl let 'a bunch of cameras' to come in with him, if there's only one pic..

RIP - October '92, interview conducted by Del James.  Here's the full excerpt of those quotes:

DEL: When speaking of Queen, one must speak of AIDS. How has this disease affected you?

AXL: I wan to learn more and start helping people. Freddie Mercury's death is a marker in my life that says there's no turning back, and I'm going to do whatever I can to inform the public about certain things. We can't sit idly and hope someone will change things and hope things will be alright. There are alternative forms of medicine that are having high success rates in treating AIDS victims. There's things like vibrational medicine, oxygen-ozone therapy, there's homeopathic medicines, there are Chinese medicines and different forms of vitamins. The government is denying the public this information. That's because the government, the FDA and the pharmaceutical companies are making billions of dollars off of people dying. The FDA invests money in companies they've supposed to be regulating - that makes no sense. Over the last 50 years there have been different cures for different illnesses that have been kept from us. Freddie Mercury's death made me want to fight for people to have the right to know about these alternative treatments. Everyone has got a God-given right to health, and it's being denied by power-hungry, greedy people who want control.

DEL: I take it you're not very big on the way things are being run?

AXL: Our government talks about freedom and liberty while they exercise and maintain and enforce and strive for and fight for all the control they can have over the people. Since day one we've been taught to support our own oppression, and I think it's time for things to change.

Axl is really smart. He's not clueless, and he knows about all corruption goin on and about diseases. He cares too :o

Dude I'm not saying Axl wasn't doing a good deed, and wasn't trying to help those kids, but maybe just maybe Axl was thinking a little deeper, and was thinking about publicity.

And the inner satisfaction it might bring.
