Nosaj Thing Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Axl is the greatest rockstar in the world for the simple reason that he believes he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NGOG Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Axl is very close to the title, but in my opinion, there is a slightly more deserving candidate:1. Chris Pit(t)man2. W. Axl Rose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 They're out ta get him, once again!Seriously, this attitude they talk about is long gone as well. He dresses like a rockstar but he's just a regular 50 years old millionaire now. In my case, I never wanted him to be the greatest rockstar ever. In fact, I was a happy fan in 2002 seeing him taking a more alternative direction, having bands like CKY opening for him, not dressing like he does now. That's just me... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I like how they choose to post one of the (very) few outlying videos... There have been hundreds of shows since Rio and these heros always post one of two videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prettytiedup88 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Its a kinda sad state of affairs that these sort of discussions are dominated by 50+ rockers who's biggest day's are behind them. You'd have hoped a new generation of front men would have come through by now who could be in the mix to be considered the 'greatest rockstar in the world'!But...If you're looking at the whole doing things your way attitude, give a damn about anyone but yourself mentality, combined with the look, mystery, myth, legend etc...then sure, i'd go along with it. Theres not much competition out there and on his day Axl is still one hell of a rockstar. Edited April 23, 2014 by prettytiedup88 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Iron MikeyJ Posted April 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2014 I agree with the article. Music has become so bland and boring, everything is so PC. Even hip hop/rap music. When rock was becoming bland in the early 90's, gangsta rap came along and carried that mantle of danger and unpredictablity, but ever since Biggie's and Tupac's death, rap hasn't felt the same either (with Eminem being the one exception for a few years). Now who do we have? Fucking Kayne West and Miley Cyrus. Both of them are the biggest fakes and pretenders I have ever seen. A 50 something year old Axl is far more interesting than either one of those. It is just a sad era for music right now. I know some early 20 something will jump on this post and try and claim that music is just as exciting now as it ever was, but to you I say piss off. If you are not old enough to remember real Guns n' Roses, witness the rise of gangsta rap, the whole grunge era, and so on and so fourth, sit back shut up cause you might learn something. Because that was music made by people who wrote about things that they lived and saw, real experiences, real music. Today it's people writing about bling, money, or poor me attitude, or pretending to be what people like Axl Rose used to live. Basically they are all posers imo, the whole fucking lot of them. Kanye West couldn't carry Tupac's jockstrap, he is a fucking fake and waste of time.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably newGnR fanboy EDIT: with Team Brazil approvalNote how the article mentions that Axl's vocals basically suck now. It's not that black and white - all fans aren't either new or old GN'R fanboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-GenerationX Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 With such a void in the rock star department, Axl could step right in. Of course, you could say that the past 10 years. Dude just doesn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 With such a void in the rock star department, Axl could step right in.This is about the size of it, why every so often you get these articles rating Axl Rose, not cuz he's the best in his field, just that he's one of the few that are still around that ain't a complete joke, thats all it is.

classicrawker Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 just that he's one of the few that are still around that ain't a complete joke,Considering he has turned what once was one of the greatest bands in the World into what is basically a tribute band playing and living off of the old music I would say you comment can be disputed.................. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 It's like saying Robert DeNiro is the greatest actor of all time - even if he makes bad movies."Rock star" is something that gets thrown around when they give out "Employee of the Month" awards.He's part of an elite group of frontmen, and when he threw himself into the songs, you really felt it coming up from his guts.
