Slimemonkey Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Long time no speak......hope everyone is well. I know this is really cheesy but Axl is just an amazing genius lol. Just had a really bad time with my boyfriend of 8 years breaking up with me...i can't listen to any music apart from CD, the lyrics just seemed to be aimed at me lol. The man is a genius at telling a story and its amazing at how his words seem to make me feel a bit better lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sleeping Like An Angel Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Axl is a brilliant song writer. Every song could mean a million things to a million people. Very intelligent man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamboat Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Yeah its great, even he says the songs have no direct meaning, they can mean many things to many different people. I imagine him writing a song with one person in mind and the realizing it relates to many others, a benefit of how the media treats him I suppose ( probably the only benefit too ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janis Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) I listened to it again after a long time and it really is such a interesting and unique album. There's so many layers to it and you can really tell the care that went into it. I love the way Axl uses so many different voices in the songs to convey diff feelings. This album stands alone. It doesn't fit into anything out there. Axl def marches to bhis own beat! The "ray of light" or glimmer of hope ending- there are variuois interps for it- but it reminds me of the end of Kate Bush's Aerial where the singer moves on and finds some kind of peace.The critics are so unintelligent to bash this record.
