alfierose Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Seen a few graphics now that show the fire hotspots and for the moment Axl's home looks not to be directly in the worst parts. Of course it's not contained yet so anything could happen over the coming days. His home is on the sharp bend in the lower portion of the photo.

Popular Post Download Posted November 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2018 For 30+ years Axl remained virtually silent on political leanings, though he did release “One in a Million” and “Civil War” but on interviews never really dove into policy or political stances. I would agree that perhaps the entire AFD album could have been a shot to the Reagan era of the 80’s but again others could interpret it however they want. I’m not going to “Virtue Signal” my thoughts and pretend we could all do a little better in our rhetoric of right vs left and just a few short years ago Axl stated on Jimmy Kimmel that he has never even voted, and all of a sudden a big city billionaire from Queens, New York is a man that the United States must “resist.” Make no mistake, Donald J. Trump is a Democrat in Republican clothes. Just a few short years ago, most of the policies Trump chants for were all found on a Democratic platform. He’s the first president in the history of the United States that’s openly pro gay marriage but I’m suppose to pretend, I’m supposed to pretend that he’s the next coming of Hitler, and blacks are getting shot in massive numbers for for just being black, women are having their rights taken away, and every immigrant is living in tyranny and fear of being sent back to wherever they came from. Gimme a fucking break. I’m not the biggest Trump fan in the world but How many times can you cry wolf before I run out of fucks to give? I’m out. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something that directly affects him and he has every right to speak out against the President in public, if the President is publicly lying about the situation. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What everyone wants to hear from you, you refuse to give them..... new music Because Axl is right! Trumps a jerk and if people dont get it by now, everyone who gets it needs to stand up and say something.

Ant Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) What kind of GNR fan rags on Axl Rose for speaking his mind? Did you guys learn nothing from the UYI rants?? Looks like I'm going to have to assign some remedial viewing as homework tonight. Ignore it, dispute it.... don't tell him to shut up. I dedicate this political firestorm tweet... ... to the people that tell you what you can say and what you can’t say. I personally don’t need that. I don’t need that shit in my life. Those are the kind of people that have been getting me down. They make me feel like somebody, somebody out there.... ....is Ouuuuuuut Ta Get Meeeeeee!!!!!” Edited November 11, 2018 by Ant 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post guitarpatch Posted November 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2018 I don’t think anyone no matter what their standing with axl over the years has been, has ever insinuated him to be disingenuous. They may have disagreed with his version of the truth, called him an asshole, or disagreed with how things were handled, but it never came to intent. In fact it’s usually the opposite. Just because one might disagree with one’s comments, it doesn’t make it “disingenuous”... Lots of people are having their lives completely torn apart from this. This is not just wealthy individuals. There’s a wide range of people who live in those areas. It freakin sucks... Instead of needlessly pointing fingers (for political gain or not), a little bit of compassion and action for help for those affected would probably go a little further. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His house could burn down to the ground as well, so you better believe that he is aware of the situation and what's going on and speaks out if things are being misrepresented. And what the hell does this have to do with music?? Edited November 12, 2018 by PatrickS77 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why he comes off as disingenuous... he preaches too much and he's just the same as those he criticizes.

People are losing their homes to something they have no control over and people are looking for someone to blame. I'm not talking about anyone on this board, ofc. Wasn't it Trump, who started to throw the blame around? At a time which is the absolute worst to throw any blame? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the poor people I get concerned about in situations like this, not the millionaires. I get the sentiment and in a way a agree (especially when these millionaires get on their IGs asking people to donate, if the wealthy community of Malibu/Hollywood/L.A. gets together, they could sort things out for anyone not that wealthy), but just imagine your house burning down. Even if you would have the funds to replace everything, it's a pain in the ass and there are things no money in the world will bring back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s weird to see so many people believing this fake hysteria peddled by the media and career politicians. To me, it's weird how Trump supporters are so against PC, "participation" trophies, calling people snowflakes, etc. Yet, when you say anything remotely bad about Trump, the Trump supporters gets so defensive and angry. They want freedom of speech, but are easily offended by kneeling or if something is said about them. I find that there is so much irony and hypocrisy with Trump supporters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Axl by no means was as vocal about politics in the past as he has been recently, but he didn't appear to be uninterested either. It's not only Civil War and other songs with social comment insinuations. In 1992, he would comment onstage on the elections of that year and the candidates. For example, at the show in Indianapolis: [Axl] referred to Indiana as a state that produces corn and drugs and is overrun by Japanese car factories. He blasted Indiana for being the conservative, backward state that sent Dan Quayle to the vice presidential office.
