Axl Knows Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) I'd love to hear this live again. It''s easily one of GNR's best songs. I'd probably go nuts if I heard that damn riff in concert. Fuck the haters, this song is absolutely awesome.What do you guys think? Edited July 17, 2010 by Axl Knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR123GNR456 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I don't see why people have so much of a problem with that verse. It's funny as fuck. Epic lyrics. Anyone who is offended by it shouldn't be listening to rock n' roll. They should be listening to choirboy shit or We Are The World or something.Even though Axl isn't a racist or homophobic. He wanted NWA to open for GN'R and is a huge fan of Elton Jon and Queen.BUTI dont know how you can say "anyone who is offended shouldn't listen to rock n roll." I know RN'R is edgy, rebellious, and anti-establishment, but saying words like "black persons," "immigrants," and "faggits" can be very offensive to some people. I don't remember hearing those words in any others band song's. Even if Axl did sing it again, he'll probably change some lyrics. Like instead of "police and black persons," he'll prbably add "police and lyers" and instead of 'immigrants and faggits," he'll probably add "bastards and fuckups." Seriously, even though Axl isn't a pussy, saying those things now will have a much bigger negative effect than in 1989. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
