Yeah come on people listen to more than the chorus lyrics. Literally the first lines are "Well I know you couldn't love me cause you're promised to a wealthy man" :lol:

Take It Away on Snakepit is about Axl i believe.

Yeah, Take it Away could be about Axl. The one that totally seems to be about Axl is What Do You Want To Be.

"So I run, like I'm mad, to heaven's door"
[...] 
"Spotlight, bad baby, you've got a flair
For the violentest kind of love anywhere out there
Mon amour, sweet child of mine
You're divine
Didn't anyone ever tell you
It's okay to shine?

Roses, Bel Air, take me there"

"Idol of roses
Iconic soul
I know your name
Lead me to war with your brilliant direction"

Lana must be the world most famous fangirl for Axl....

I got a couple of "laughing" votes on my post, which is odd. I wasn't making a joke lol. It seems very obvious to me that King Nothing is about Axl. 

i don't laugh about you post, i just laugh about the song title, seem bit aggressive to Axl :lol:

Check out the lyrics. 

where did you hear this is about Axl?  I've never heard that before.  very interesting take. 

just read the lyrics, seems like it can apply to pretty much anyone who achieved fame and then imploded

Yup. I think this was actually released very early in her career, when she didn't go by the name Lana Del Rey yet.

I'm not too big on Lana, but yeah, I think it was an old MySpace demo. I really like this one, it's got a cool haunting quality that I haven't heard from her more fully produced songs.

It's always been my own opinion. Seems like it could definitely be about Axl since James watched that implosion first hand not long before the song came out.

I've always thought Izzys "Jump In Now" released in 2001 was written about Axl.

Lyrics in the video aren't 100% accurate, this is closer I think:

Quote

You're only human
Why you packing that load
You make it heavy
'Til you fall in the road
Year after year
You keep going nowhere

Why you're so lonely
Is you piss and you moan
You never learn
from any lessons you're shown
Year after year
You keep going nowhere

'Til you have no choice
But to jump in the water
'Til you have no choice
But to jump in now

If you've an SOS
You send it on time
Communication
Is your only device
Year after year
You keep going nowhere

'Til you have no choice
But to jump in the water
'Til you have no choice
But to jump in now

Imagine you can run it
All on your own
You talk about it
You've got nothing to show
Year after year
You keep going nowhere

'Til you have no choice
But to jump in the water
'Til you have no choice
But to jump in now

Sink or swim
And I don't think that you'll make it
You have no choice left
So jump in or drown

Lyrics probably self explanatory. The whole "SOS" bit though I think refers to Axl calling Izzy and asking him to perform at Rock In Rio 3.

A lot of Izzys songs could be construed as biographical I think. According to rumor "Tijuana" (TJ) was written about Steven :shrugs: "Box" is the name of GNRs rehearsal studio and one of his song titles. "Concrete"/"Raggadubbacrete" is another biographical one, and its so so good.
