Damn_Smooth Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 That one is from fernando. He's the slow one in the family so it just sunk in that Axl was making fun of Peppers weeks ago and he decided to join in on the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the slow one in the family so it just sunk in that Axl was making fun of Peppers weeks ago and he decided to join in on the fun. Axl retweeted it, which makes me think he may have been behind it.Now we just need a tweet about a new album. Or just Atlas Shrugged at this point, I'd be happy with that.

ZoSoRose Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I support the new lineups but I feel as though the "no trickery" line is kind of funny. I mean, he is using the name "GNR" but only 1/5 of the original guys are in the band.And, that wasn't necessary. My bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just trying to be a good big brother and make the slow one feel special. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I read too far into his previous tweets hahaI like this one though. It's great to be sarcastic, but it's better to be clear how important of an issue this is to himself. Maybe sarcasm is how Axl protects himself, he likely has a problem with sharing his feelings...no no no! I'm reading too far into this again! Axl go have a great 2014! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lio Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Everybody was laughing at Matt's tweets about protecting dolphins, and now everyone is praising Axl tweeting about a giraffe.

IncitingChaos Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Everybody was laughing at Matt's tweets about protecting dolphins, and now everyone is praising Axl tweeting about a giraffe. Hum, okay.Well to be fair I was the only one above who mentioned that I like that Axl is speaking about an issue that he cares about. (Since this recent tweet) Nobody else has praised Axl for wanting to save this giraffe.I think the difference is Axl is talking about one instance where a zoo made a decision to kill a giraffe in a public display of cruelity when the zoo had a chance to save the giraffe's life by selling it elsewhere to a home he could live in. Matt wants to save every dolphin and put them in his personal swimming pool so nobody can hurt them. I get your point that we tend to favor Axl's point of view over anyone else's. I think that's just the fan in everyone. Nobody went to a GNR concert saying, "man I can't wait to see Matt play the drums!" It may not be fair but Axl is more interesting than Matt.

MB. Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) The issue Matt's adressing (Taiji) is actually way more serious and horrible. Too bad people make fun of his Dolphin tweets. Those are actually the only ones I do appreciate. Edited February 17, 2014 by MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are actually the only ones I do appreciate.Have you watched "The Cove" and "Blackfish?".Unfortunately I did. And I since I follow Sea Shepard, I get those horrible updates.Axl is talking about one Giraffe, Matt was talking about thousands of dolphins and small whales.What the zoo in Denmark did is not that unusual in Zoo's all over the world. The only thing different it was done out in the open. If Axl would look into that, he could be tweeting a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saber_ Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 More run-on compound sentences! Another classic.Over the past week I've put out a few intentionally sarcastic tweets in response and calling attention to the killing of an 18 month old baby male giraffe named Marius by the Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark. And in that regard I think that without more information or a better understanding of not just how this particular breeding program works or why it's believed to be necessary and seemingly without room for exception or public opinion... to the average person it would seem that... 1.) Marius could have been spared and was a waste of a healthy young animal's life. 2.) The manner in which he was if not euthanized then disposed of seemed particularly barbaric, unnecessary and a vulgar or grotesque display of inconsideration and complete disregard for public sentiments adding a level of morbid spectacle and horrendousness difficult for most to comprehend by doing so not just in front of but for what seems some misguided or twisted sense of educational purposes for children.and...3.) The seemingly cold and clinical responses and attitudes regarding this unfortunate event by those involved appearing to be somewhat defiant, arrogant and even seeming somewhat perversely satisfied with themselves and their actions going as far as to express "pride" in their decisions comes off as completely heartless in regard to the animals and seems extremely disrespectful toward the general public on this issue.Perhaps their comments were taken out of context? Perhaps there's something lost in translation? I don't know that anyone is trying to say or act in this situation as if they truly know more than these particular or any professional animal caretakers or zoologists etc. but I do know that at present plenty of lay people worldwide do not understand or approve of what took place here. And again without more information and better understanding of the breeding program and why this was deemed the appropriate course of action this event seems misguided and a crime against the very nature those in such positions are thought to be involved with as protectors and caretakers of such animals. One can attempt to justify these choices as those taking into consideration a bigger picture scientifically but in my view there seems to be more than one perspective to that picture and it would appear that adherence to such a rigid or strict nature of such clinical focus may be disregarding the public impact of their actions.For most normal everyday people that love, care about and enjoy animals this event has been a tragedy. An unexpected, unimaginable and what for many is most devastating a seemingly avoidable horror show that somehow seems lost on the professionals involved and those speaking for the zoo a facility that's in my opinion thought to exist for the animals, the public, educational purposes and science in as best a sense of harmony as possible. Just as it's a privilege for the public to visit, view and experience these animals it's also a privilege to work with and care for the animals and have the opportunity to do so while interacting and/or working with the public. Unfortunately somehow in this instance all or much of that seems to have been forgotten.Axl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netcat Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) i appreciate the fact that Axl is trying to explain himself. maybe he just warms up with the giraffes and then he'll get to explain some other stuff... like, GnR stuff Edited February 17, 2014 by netcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
