They had probably just barely managed to wrap their heads around these lyrics and accepted how gay they were, and then their view of the world was shaken again when they found out those lyrics were written by a woman If that is enough to shock and confuse Mr. Stradlin and Mr. Rose, I'd love to see their faces when they find out about all the gay fan fiction out there. Written by women lol. I laughed so much at this. Haha. Hilarious. That confusion with WASP must have been mind blowing for little shits of homophobes like them. And oh would i LOVE to see those faces when they first read gay FF about themselves. Hahaha. I hope they did, I really do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked their debut album with the original lineup quite a bit, it has a Beatles vibe. The second one... is of that grandiose 70s prog rock kind, with looong complicated compositions and orchestration (I'm sure @Darkenchantress would love it ) with many things going on that you lose it , although there are some beautiful parts ... and it has a version of Roll Over Beethoven, kind of a mashup of Chuck Berry and... Beethoven - horrible But I must say I love some long things, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killuridols Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 What is a 'Big Shot'? Do you guys think Axl chose that song or was it Billy's suggestion? The lyrics remind me a bit of that other AC/DC song Axl introduced last year as being a reflection of his sad love life.... What was the name again?

I kinda think to use this descriptions you have to have repeated experience. I think Bon Scott`s AC/DC fits Axl more than Brian`s because he is way more playful and goofy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely I found out that any Billy Joel exists like three days ago Internets also don`t provide info about any other "shot down in flames" song. Songs are here to bring feelings, not to overanalyze. Don`t hurt art by autopsy, enjoy. I was there in Prague dancing my ass off on AC/DC and I think Bon Scott era fits Axl more. That`s all.

Shot down in flames Stephanie? I don't know where you guys are getting Stephanie/cocaine addicted women women from IF Axl was the one who chose that song, I think he was most likely poking fun at himself. In a self-depreciating sort of way, you know. Axl is the one who absolutely had to be a big shot here. 10 hours ago, Tori72 said: I laughed so much at this. Haha. Hilarious.

What does the WASP story have to do with homophobia? You're confusing me lol. This is all getting confusing, so listen up, @SerenityScorp: There are 2 different stories that have been brought up in the last pages. I don't remember all the details anymore, because it's been a while since I listened to that interview, but they went something like this: Story 1: "Herpes Izzy" Izzy was driving around crazily in cornfields somewhere (maybe in Indiana), but then he hit a ditch. The car's airbags went off and hit Izzy in the face of course. He had abrasions all over his face from that and they apparently looked like Herpes. I think Axl said Izzy's face looked like one big scab. So during the recording of UYI they were in New York and went to meet WASP. At some point Izzy left the room and Axl told the story of Izzy's accident. And the guys in WASP were really relieved because they thought Izzy had like the worst case of herpes they'd ever seen. Story 2: "Izzy learns a shocking truth about women" During the interview, Baz's phone started ringing and his ring tone was "Balls to the Wall" by Accept. Accept is a metal band that had/has (?? I don't really know shit about them) kind of a gay reputation because they had some gay song lyrics and album covers. So the guys there were like "WTF Baz has an Accept ring tone? That's so gay lol". This reminded Axl of a time when he hung out with Izzy in New York (sounded kinda recent iirc, so around 2006) and Izzy was kinda freaked out because he had just learned that all these gay lyrics were written by a woman (by the wife of one of the guys in Accept I think). Izzy, who is apparently easily freaked out, just had to share this shocking discovery with Axl. Who then shared this story on the radio interview. 10 hours ago, Tori72 said: I laughed so much at this. Haha. Hilarious.

I hope they did, I really do. I'm evil enough to hope they did as well. It would be freaking hilarious to watch. For epic awkwardness and even more hilarity points, make them read it together. So if you've got some nice steamy (or maybe puke-inducingly romantic and sugary) Slaxl fan fiction, make Axl and Slash read it together. If you've got Izzy and Axl being childhood sweethearts, make Izzy and Axl read it together. Same goes for Sluff and so on (I assume they probably get paired up in all possible variants, yeah?). I imagine this would make for great entertainment, much more so than the boring interviews about Seattle traffic or coffee or whatever the fuck I'll end this gay post on a musical note Edited May 16, 2017 by Frey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlingrl03 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 According to some Billy wrote that song "Big Shot" about Bianca Jagger... In an interview in 2006, Billy Joel said, "I read that the song 'Big Shot' is said to be about a date I had with Bianca Jagger. I never had a date with Bianca Jagger." But in an interview with Howard Stern on November 16, 2010, Joel admitted that the song was written after having dinner with Mick andBianca Jagger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Honestly, I think he did Big Shot because it is bang in the middle of the encore and that's the perfect time to bring him back out and you need a kind of more edgier song than Uptown Girl for Axl Rose, don't you? That's all. Still, the song would be a perfect SS song 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, where is the gayness stuff coming from?! The lyrics to the song I posted above are pretty damn gay if sung by a man: Everyone is telling me that he was born as a love child By looking in his eyes something turned me lose in this hot night Feeling the power of lust when the guy's passing by Wrecking one's brain and I'm going insane don't know why I can feel your sex winding up a girl in the red dress And my brain is gone, what is going on, I'm burning inside Feeling the power of lust when the guy's passing by Wrecking one's brain and I'm going insane don't know why A love child, running wild A love child A love child, running wild A love child - love child I gotta tell myself that he was born as a love child And the story of his way should not make me stay in this hot night Feeling the power of lust when the guy's passing by Wrecking one's brain and I'm going insane don't know why A love child, running wild A love child A love child, running wild A love child - love child Don't know what I am A woman or a man Many troubles behind me I'm doing all I can But I'm what I am Leave me alone - don't mistreat me Feeling the power of lust when the guy's passing by Wrecking one's brain and I'm going insane don't know why A love child, running wild I also remember Axl (who, along with Izzy, is apparently an expert on all things Accept for whatever reasons ) mentioning another Accept song during the interview- "London Leather Boys". I'm too lazy to look up that song as well, but between the lyrics above, song titles like "London Leather Boys" and "Balls To The Wall" and album artwork like the one appearing in the Love Child video I posted, it's not hard to see where the gay thing comes from lol.
