Riddick Bowe Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 http://www.zeit.de/kultur/musik/2016-04/axl-rose-guns-n-roses-acdc-soziologie Interesting article i heard they talked about it on the radio. Axl apparently used six therapist at the same time and studied Sociology for 11 years. Any Germans here that can do a proper translation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl666 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Is this true? That Axl studied sociology? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwarzgold Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) Dudes, that thing is an ironic piece of art, mixing references to arts and sciences with a kind of roadie biography style of writing - not mean by the way, but PURELY fictional.

xBrownstonex Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) It's a column, this guy apparently is writing all kinds of weird columns about music. Sounds very stupid though. Where do you live that they talk about a column on a radio? Edited April 25, 2016 by xBrownstonex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzgold Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) The article suggests that Axl found epiphanies in Niklas Luhmanns "Systemtheorie" and used the resulting insights and enthusiasm to get GNR back on track. Then follow several fictional dialogues during the reunion process, featuring slash and co as if they were philosophers and sociologists themselves, uttering overlycomplex tidbits from these sciences. And so on (sorry, typing on a phone) I think it's supposed to counter all the detailed analyses and critiques that way - ironically showing that it was exactly none of that but "only rock n rolll" in the best sense.
