Jhonn Dee Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Think some didn't get the ironic side of GN'R Lies. They still beliving that UTLH is about kill women and OIAM about kill black people. Maybe they think that the nazi symbols in punk scene are about nazi propaganda too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only 2 years old when that song came out, but I believe the media back then made GnR and Axl in particular seem like a racist motherfucker...and the damage was done. I get the true meaning of the song, but if you listen to it out of its context, then you would think what the media made a lot of people believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that hard to get the sarcasm of the song, but there's this thing I perceived over the years which is that there was no room for that kind of statement, in any way, shape or form, especially coming from a white, privilleged guy and during that time in history. I don't want to start a debate on this OIAM matter or anything because it's an old one and beaten to death, nonetheless, I can't pick sides when both sides (Axl's lyrics and the media/public judging him forever based on an unhappy statement) are just kinda wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manfisman Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I think that besides the obvious sarcasm of GNR Lies, there are a lot of lyrics that are really racist and sexist that didn't get that amount of backlash. So yeah, it is an unhappy statement really blown out of proportion by the media at the time, mainly because that sold magazines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but there isn't an ironic side of OIAM. It was a dead serious song and unfortunately Axl meant what he said. Those sentences he used aren't nothing to joke about like about a killing a woman and still hear her complain. It's all about the context and there is nothing funny about OIAM. But I do believe that's somthing Axl wouldn't release today just because he matured enough and he probably knows that it's not right to generalize things. But it is what it is. A bad ass song with the sadest kind of lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because people try not to be assholes now but instead choose to be decent people and acknowledge that almost everyone is taking a stand now. You pointing out that Axl once wrote One in a Million is just poor taste and another way to belittle the fact that the band is taking a stand. Which is mostly the way that racist assholes behave. But more power to you if you think thats the right way to behave right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think there is any lack of taste in pointing out that that guy who is now hectoring on race issues, once wrote, Quote Police and hooray for tolerance!s, that's right Get outta my way Don't need to buy none of your Gold chains today Now don't need no bracelets Clamped in front of my back You either believe Rose has had a Damascean conversion or not I suppose! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lio Posted June 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2020 Axl being called racist when Slash was in the band and while he's been living with a Brazilian family for decades. People calling him a racist and a hypocrite have more than probably uttered racist slurs towards Beta and the Lebeis clan. If you really believe Axl was/is racist, don't you think that that would have come out during the bitter years? Ridiculous. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people are criticising Axl more for being a hypocrite, rather than being a supposed racist. I don't think Axl is racist (never did), but I do think he's a hypocrite, trying to squeeze money and attention out of a horrible racist assault. I'm surprised so many people fall for it.

Why is it suddenly wrong to make a stand against racism and police brutality?

When the fox preaches, take care of your geese Oh, did you forget in 1992 there was a little song called Cop Killer, after the riots in LA? Bodycount was asked to support GNR back then. That's 28 years ago. Don't make it as if Axl Rose just got woke and jumped on the bandwagon. We aren't all too young to still remember. After the promoter in LA asked to replace Bodycount by another act for the LA shows, this is what Axl had to say: Quote Guns N’ Roses lead singer Axl Rose branded the elimination of Body Count from the shows as “shallow-minded.” He added, “Both Ice and myself are tired of all the racial crap. This was our chance to play together and show people that we’re about artistic expression, not violence or prejudice. It comes down to this--freedom of speech is OK, as long as it doesn’t piss off some public official.” 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
