I studied Italian in Italy and all English-natives really struggled with the pronunciation. It was hard for them to make it sound Italian, especially because of the "R" sound. On the other hand....Italians, French, Czechs, Russians, etc. speaking English is not very pleasant to the ear either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alja Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Just now, Andy14 said: Omg, yes, Czech fashion of wearing socks with sandals . I hope he hasn't drunk too much of the beer then More than alcohol it seems to be some czech beer spirit, which makes czech beer so good, so it might not be dose-related... Poor unaccustomed midwestern guy, I had american beer once, it was like sex on caone - f*ckin` close to water. Other working theory is that he was exposed in Prague and with certain fashion sense that socks`n sandals thing is contagious. Third theory is that he intended to be cleverly disgusted as inconspicuous average Czech tourist (did not work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 @Andy14 Nope, that's not it. I do remember that one too, though. I'm devouring all the show threads now...the trainers were black and maybe he was wearing ankle socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on foot, little toe side, by the size of internal fixation of the bone (which is ca 5-7cm long) scars after planned surgery are usually so small that you don`t even see them if you don`t know about them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frey Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 (edited) Jesus people, give the guy a break about his socks. I think the reason he wears them is simply because he likes these kinds of socks. He's been wearing them since the UYI tour. Only back then he paired these socks with combat boots and underpants and somehow that looked less ridiculous to you lot apparently He also wore these socks during past tours in the 2000s. I know because there was one time when he wasn't wearing them (he was wearing purple socks instead) and someone somewhere was shocked enough by that to make a whole new thread about it Good times. 1 hour ago, MillionsOfSpiders said: Ok, I'll be serious now He has always complained about having bad/weak ankles. I think he seriously tapes them up during shows, maybe he bandages them up too tight. This might also be a reason for the socks. He might wear these loose-fitting, high socks to hide tapes and bandages. 3 hours ago, Andy14 said: Axl finally has a shirt that matches his face As for that shirt... Is he sending us a message? Does he want us to help him?

I don't know about Italian but there is this American guy who is a successful YouTuber here because he speaks perfect Argentinian Spanish and he knows another American guy who speaks perfect Brazilian Portuguese and is also a YouTuber. IMO, anyone can master any language with years of dedication, study and of course, living in the place of the language you want to master it is the biggest plus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off of that, he should bring back the combat boots. Those white underpants can stay in the vault. Hey Rose, if you're reading this thread...you could always go barefoot like myself.

On the other hand....Italians, French, Czechs, Russians, etc. speaking English is not very pleasant to the ear either When a sound doesn't exist in one's native language, it needs a lot of practice to come close to pronounce it correctly. For example, our "t" sound is not the same as the English sound and we don't have the French (or German umlaut) "u" sound (although ancient Greek had it). The languages that are the easiest for a Greek to pronounce are Italian and Spanish, although there are differences. And yes, English -> Italian and vice versa is difficult...
