Estranged Reality Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) I want to give the world the middle fingerWith the exception of my favorite lead singerhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brilliant!_Tragic!#ReceptionOn the track "Axl Rose", Argos has said that "I think GnR are a great band. I think if you got into an argument with someone, you’d want Axl in your corner. He’s a good guy to have on your side. You know, you don’t want Rivers Cuomo defending you. Axl Rose is the guy who will stand up for you. It’s funny, I was recording the song with Frank Black, and he's going, “you know, if there’s one thing you can say about Axl, it’s that he tells people to fuck off!” It was pretty amazing having a conversation with Black Francis about Axl Rose" [19]The album track "Axl Rose" marks the second time that Argos has written about the troubled Guns N' Roses frontman. The first was his 'Open Letter To Axl Rose', first published in Artrocker magazine, in which he says that, while he is a fan of Rose's work and that Guns N' Roses "have some of the world’s greatest songs in their arsenal", he feels that Axl needs to address his punctuality and perhaps trim down the band's current lineup". [20] It was written in response to the Axl's controversial[21] Reading Festival performance the previous year.

FuddMckagan Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I've always found song titles named after real people a little weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Thread title is misleading, even though everyone should know betterI fail to see how it's misleading. If I said "AXL ROSE - NEW SONG!" without Art Brut, or without putting "Axl Rose" in quotes, then maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.. Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 This is one of the most terrible songs I've ever heard. It's not even music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlskAmpf Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I listened and at first said "oh yeah, cool, a revamp of 70s UK punk." Then I said "..but not the good UK punk."Then after another 30 seconds it just flat out reminded me of this classic comedy moment....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njiUFtrFky8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
