  1. Nope. Just self pity. Axl isn't honest enough with himself for all of that. And I'm not sure he has the mental capacity.

    exactly.

    the lyrics would have been more interesting if they had been more self-critical instead of just blaming the others or claiming it was unintentional...

    axl didn't respect the other original members of the band, he thought gnr was his solo project, that's why gnr broke up. he should admit it.

  2. Ron seems pissed.

    The situation is very bizarre. The band are desperate to record, the fans are desperate to hear new music... so what's stopping Axl???

    Writer's block?

    Lack of passion?

    Laziness?

    Lack of something meaningful to say/write a songabout?

    Emotional exhaustion from the stress of CD?

    Not wanting to relive the CD experience?

    Label issues--Label not willing to fund or promote next album unless certain conditions of theirs are met, which Axl doesn't like?

    Simply not giving a fuck?

    Some combo of the above?

    lack of demand for a nugnr album ?

  3. There's some similarities between Brian and Axl. It wouldn't surprise me if they both hung out once or twice or have mutual friends.

    there are more differences than similarities. brian wilson is an incredible songwriter, axl isn't.

    they aren't really in the same league.

  4. "the great white hope" is a good movie about jack johnson's life.

    jack johnson was the first black world heavyweight boxing champion (1908-1915)

    for more than thirteen years, jack johnson was the most famous and the most notorious african-american on earth.

    Based on Howard Sackler's Broadway play about the life of flamboyant boxing great, Jack Johnson, THE GREAT WHITE HOPE stars James Earl Jones as Jack Jefferson, a fictional counterpart for Johnson. Jefferson, the first-ever African-American heavyweight champion, fights racism, hostile fans, and aggressive promoters to become the top fighter in the world in the early 1900s. However, once at the top, Jefferson finds that he has provoked the anger of the government, labor unions, and the boxing racket itself because of his race, talent, and his romance with a white woman, Eleanor (Jane Alexander). Under investigation by the government, Jefferson travels the world fighting for a promoter whose main focus is to find a white fighter who can match Jefferson's prowess in the ring--that is the definition of "the great white hope" of the title. Bolstered by Mr. Jones's powerful performance, THE GREAT WHITE HOPE is a searing examination of prejudice in 20th century America. The film doesn't back down from some of the more complex and disturbing issues in the play, namely the psychological reasons for the white establishment's fear of Johnson. Revealing and entertaining, Ritt's film takes an unflinching look at racial politics in America.
