Part of me has to assume he knows more that us.I have a feeling, unless Frank walks, we won't be seeing Brain anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) I thought it was funny that Izzy had no idea it was in the album until he got his copy.Izzy wasn't around for the last recording sessions and mixing of the Illusions, according to Slash (or did Axl secretly have a gun to Slash's head making him say that, too?), so it's probable he wouldn't have been there when My World was recorded.As to Duff being sarcastic, I know you don't WANT Duff to like a song by Axl that you hate--That'd be utterly unthinkable--But considering Duff is very open minded musically, loved music like Prince and Funk for example and was hanging out with the likes of Bodycount and whatnot, I don't see why it's such a stretch to think he may just have really liked it. Just because Duff is friendly with Slash doesn't mean he's as musically close minded as Slash is. Edited January 9, 2011 by Indigo Child Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl8302 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I think there's some kind of hip hop influence on CD, I can't put my finger on it but it's there. I was listening to Dre's Kush and it was that intro and outro thing, very similiar to TWAT. and ITW is sort of a beat Eminem would use. Sorry is almost like a Tupac song. I don't know, maybe it's subliminal or maybe I'm just smoking crack but I think the influence is there even if it's not as obvious as My world.I think the production is very hip hop, very clean clear instrumentation.

They both were very controversial yet very intelligent and articulate. Both are outspoken and always spoke their mind good and bad, their lyrics were brutaly honest, rants in their concerts and both had so much attitude and swagger! I don't know why but when I started watching Axl videos and interviews I immediately thought of Tupac! Anyone else see the similarity?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITW 2012 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Tupac and John maybe had more universal messages than Axl. Axl's more of an individual struggle songwriter whereas Pac and Lennon tapped into both the individual and the collective. Axl could never write something like Working Class Hero, Imagine, Brenda's Got a Baby or Changes. Edited January 10, 2011 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry didn't see your post.It's true Axl "needs" to write his Imagine/Changes.

Sorry is close to the zeitjest.I was just fucking with you. You know what they say about great minds.... And I think the closest thing we've got from Axl that's Lennon like is probably Civil War. Too bad it didn't have the impact of some of Lennon's songs. Edited January 10, 2011 by Nintari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I see Civil War as like the War Pigs of the 90s.I could see Lennon writing stuff like Catcher or Sorry. Axl "should" do a cover of Watching the Wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
