ITW 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Is anybody else hoping that GNR brings back the misogyny on CD II? Please tell me that Goin' Down is about oral copulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiraMPD Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I was hoping Axl would surprise us and throw a little misandry in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Wasn't CD full of misogyny anyway? I mean there's a song on it called TWAT that appears to be about a bloke whoose been done wrong by a woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young_Gun Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 No. Axl's in his fifties. He should write about things relevant to his life now. The only problem is that it is hard to identify with an aging rockstar with a messiah complex. Not dissing Axl, but I found that to be the case with CD. Aside from "Street of Dreams," "Better," and "This I Love" I had a hard time identifying with the lyrics.THIS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 As far as age in rock music goes, over 40 is "ancient". You have to take into account there's people around 5 years old playing music, it's not like you wait until you have your degree, then become a professional musician. As soon as you get any sort of money, you're a "pro". Duff said he was 13 when he went pro, and Slash played pro as a teenager. Sometimes people were "done" as an adult in the rock and roll game. Syd Barrett had 1 year and was "done" at 22. The "rules" have changed, even getting discovered in your 30s and 40s isn't weird anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Universal_Sigh Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) You can be badass, edgy, and exciting without being a buffoon about women. Yes, Axl has done this in the past too. Take a look at Perfect Crime, Shackler's Revenge, Garden of Eden... I just assume someone would want the misogyny back because they don't think the lyrics to songs like This I Love or Madagascar are exciting or edgy. You're probably not even serious but there you go.EDIT: Why does this say in the users here "Facebook" is online but you can't click the profile? Is Mark Zuckerburg (sp?) a member? lol..

dalsh327 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 You're talking about a time in someone's life where women degraded themselves for bragging rights that they banged a rock star, or had an agenda to get pregnant by one, and it was pretty much the same things Eminem was writing about. Just grow out of it, get the therapy, and try to work on being a better person. It's not something he's going to go into with fans, and prob. the right time and place will come for him to get into it. It doesn't mean he can't write about one particular woman being evil, or a composite of women, if the music brings it out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) The Stones never had a problem writing songs with a little misogyny when they were in their fifties. It's So Easy 2012 version: "Turn around bitch, I got some dishes for you/Just ate my lamb dinner, and I'm bored."

Patience 4 Axl Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'd love some misogyny. Clever biting fun sarcastic lyrics about debauchery would be cool, and less songs that sound like a 16 year old drama queen got stood up for her prom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITW 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) We want Axl to be crazy, sexy, cool without chasing waterfalls; stick to the street of dreams that he's used to. But I know that Axl's gotta have it his way or not at all. I just think he's moving too slow. Edited May 2, 2012 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
