Popular Post Andy14 Posted May 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2017 Alright, so I bought this Czech magazine today, there's 5 pages about GNR and a poster of current Axl and Slash. They call them "Two Roosters (Cocks) on one Scrap Heap" which is a metaphor used for two guys who are unable to be together without fighting for power. There's nothing new in the magazin, still it's quite a cool reading, they talk about the history of the band, Axl/Slash relationship, the current NITL tour as well as Steven/Izzy "involvement", Axl visiting the audience (yiss, the St. Louis indicent and others) and also the band's biggest scandals, which includes - for me a long forgotten - story about GNR duct taping the drummer of Faster Pussycat, who wanted to party with Slash and Izzy so hard that he became a pain in the ass, so that duct taping him and putting into a lift was the only solution. I mustn't forget a fashion policy comment on Axl's current hairstyle, which they call "a half plucked chicken" hairdo . (@killuridols will appreciate) Another thing, I found a couple of pics from 1992 Prague show on a Czech fan page, never seen them before. (of course, no sight of Axl....and also Duff who didn't remember playing in Prague) Btw. Axl wore 16 different outfits during the show. And to make my post even longer haha I'm going to post these cute pics 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got defensive over his mom when he was a kid in that one story Dano Kildsig shared, and also called her a saint or something later on in an interview where he talked about his mom always allowing him and Axl to make noise in their garage. I also remember us talking about Izzy's mom giving Axl a Christmas (or birthday?) present. And he also kicked drugs at his mom's house. Cool! But there's something I don't understand..... If his relationship with his parents and mother especially was so good, then why do people say Izzy wrote the lyrics to 'Bad Obsession', where he calls his mother a cunt?? --- @Andy14 loooooool that's an accurate description of hairdo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triad Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 The original L. Boon Toon of the (imaginary) reunion phone call is available again. It's funny, but after seeing Steven's recent interview on Jonesy's Jukebox posted on the Izzy thread, it has a bittersweet side, too. I do like Izzy's quote, "You guys know how I feel about you as people, right? Individuals. I think you're all.......whatever." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also liked this video by the SketchShe girls and since this is the Women's Thread, I guess it goes with the topic *there's a Slaxl kind of thing for the fans of that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parents usually don't fear for their male children when they go out or travel alone or move out from home. With females is different and I guess that back then in the 70's or 80's, things were not as shitty as they are now. Also, not many ways to track them down without cellphones and Internet, especially if they didn't have a steady place to stay. I agree with you in general, but in Axl's case... man, if Axl were my kid, I wouldn't be comfortable with him taking off like that. For various reasons. It's not like he asked his parents for permission anyway, but I wouldn't allow it. 23 hours ago, killuridols said: Cool! But there's something I don't understand.....

MillionsOfSpiders Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Didn't Axl say his mum used to beg him to go home, whenever he called, and they'd put him through college ?? Or is that just wishful thinking on Axl's part, like having a good relationship with his stepdad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but then Axl wouldn't have become the artist he is...... there was really no other way for him in this case. Parents wouldn't have supported him and he had to get out of Indiana anyway.

I always thought that was written by Axl and in that case it makes more sense. I know the lyrics don't have to be necessarily autobiographical but saying that is not something that comes out naturally, not even in a fantasy manner. Don't know.... maybe drugaddicts will hate their mother like that and dont give a heck about it 23 minutes ago, MillionsOfSpiders said: Didn't Axl say his mum used to beg him to go home, whenever he called, and they'd put him through college ??

Not the newer version, the old one. The same book that has the story about how Axl's mum noticed how much he loved music and she gave him a small pocket radio so he could listen to it.

I don't think that Axl wouldn't have been credited if he had a part in writing it. So it's either Izzy or West, but most likely Izzy because the lyrical style is similar to other Izzy songs. And yes, the narrator/"speaker" (in novels, poems, songs etc) and the writer are not one and the same, even when the content has autobiographical elements. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if your kid is 18, works enough to save up for a bus ticket, packs a suitcase and hops on the bus, how would you stop him? Especially in pre-cell phone days?

Maybe I'm deaf but I think the lyrics on the demo are a bit different, I don't hear Izzy singing that. Maybe Axl changed a few lines but it wasn't enough to give him credit (as Izzy wrote most of them and the vocal melody). The NuGNR logo on an original GNR demo makes my eyes bleed!!

He got it from an old magazine article or interview, nothing mysterious about it. Like @Blackstar, I also remember Axl talking somewhere about his parents offering to pay for college if he came back to Indiana (and I've never read Mick Wall's book, so I must have gotten that from somewhere else). The thing I've never heard before is his mother buying Axl a radio (likely against the step fathers wishes) because she noticed he loved music. Did Axl tell that story somewhere? It would be the only nice/positive story I've ever heard him tell about his mother. 1 hour ago, triad said: But if your kid is 18, works enough to save up for a bus ticket, packs a suitcase and hops on the bus, how would you stop him? Especially in pre-cell phone days? I'd hope my relationship with my kid was good enough to have a serious talk about this and either talk him out of it or come up with a compromise. Apart from that, Axl was under-age in some of the stories he told. I think he mentioned being 16 or 17 when the hitch hiking incident happened for example. So I'd have been perfectly within my parental rights to put my foot down on this nonsense. (Whether he'd actually have listened or not is a different story, but yeah...) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) @Frey Yes, Axl told him. There's an interview quoted when he's asked what were good memories from his childhood. If you want to read the rest I can link it for you? His mother gave him the radio in secret. Edited May 7, 2017 by MillionsOfSpiders 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andy14 Posted May 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2017 If I remember correctly, it's been exactly one year since the first Axl DC show. I think it deserves to be mentioned here.
