the only staggering matter right here is people like you who support a band that uses a false name just to rob the fame of the original lineup...any clue at all?

....so do you have some interesting answer about it? OF COURSE NOT!


 :smirk:

So Axl doesn't care about making music he just wants to run the GNR name into the ground?

why didn't you make yourself this same question when axl destroyed the band in 1994?  :smirk:

you and i know that he doesn't want to run the GNR name into the ground, he just want to show it up while it makes money and fame for him!

...don't you know that you end up being a real idiot when you pretend to write a smart question here?   :cool:

Well If I am the idiot here answer me this. Which one of us is on a Guns N' Roses fansite bashing the lead singer and the fans of a band called Guns N' Roses?

I read the book just because this song was written about it, then I went back and listened to the song and it didn't make much more sense. Good book though. Good song too.

When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way

I love those lyrics and the "If I thought that I was crazy" line

I'd just love for Axl to explain how the book inspired the lyrics to this song.
As long as this road seems, I know it's called the Street of Dreams.

Quote from: Dexter
Ok, I've never actually tried to put this into words this way before and this'll probably get me in trouble with someone but here goes...

The piano started while watching a documentary or A&E type show on Chapman and wanting to write something for Lennon and his family.

W/the book it started as fascination and curiosity with Holden Caufield Syndrome and what was or could possibly be in the book that obviously certain vulnerable people have seemed to become so passionate about and resort to outrageous public attempts or acts of violence. That and the question most have in regard to Lennon's death...why?

Can't say I have those answers but I feel our song pays the emotional tribute to John Lennon in the end that I'd wanted to write since the night he was killed and also since first listening to Elton and Bernie's Empty Garden.

I read the book. I fell into a deep dark sleep. Went to the studio and sang as a joke what I refer to as the Holden parts off the top of my head and felt at the time at least imo I had stumbled on a way of thinking that had a pattern and a flow but was broken up like a television station going out and coming back slightly off course intermittently and not making sense with it's earlier portion.

Where this unease helped to justify or even demand taking action and feeling the power of taking that action against whoever your mind felt was somehow involved or the root of this unease and alienation.  Accompanied by a calming surreal almost religious (but totally insane) vibe I think that if some were to experience having limited capabilities, insecurities or are mentally and emotionally challenged in some way could find a false sense of solace and take comfort in like being on some type of drugs or meds but with an added completely false sense of an imagined calling or purpose.

It certainly could and very well often would feel better than some individuals real world or having to experience or live with a clearer perspective of their true reality...

All of which of course could be imagined and hooked together by events like Lennon's murder, reading the book, wanting to write a song about someone being insane, John Lennon, Chapman, people shooting people and watching Mel Gibson's Conspiracy!

And when I got home not in any dramatic way but more like cleaning off the dinner table I threw my book away.

Don't know if any of that's really what any of that's about but that's how it hit me and just like an instant cake we got the basis for a song.
