liers Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) I know some of the songs are from the 90's, but as far as songs written after that and selecting what songs go on the album, and even the order, does Chinese Democracy decribe 9/11?Chinese Democracy: About how we brag about how great of a nation we (the US) are and how other countries are wrong.Shackler's Revenge: The attack, and noone understanding how someone could be so cruel and heartless.Better: About how after 9/11 we grew closer as a nation and joined forces to fight back.Street of Dreams: People of New York beginning to recover from the attacks and the survivers being happy they're alive.If the World: People realizing that more attacks could happen, what if they are killed by one?There Was a Time: People thinking about how it was before the attacks, and also about people getting into affairs/drug addiction from stress caused by the attacks.Catcher in the Rye: people getting depressed and thinking about how the terrorists were able to pull off the whole plot.Scraped: The US government saying that this attack isn't going to destroy us.Riad N' The Bedouins: The US mocking middle eastern countries.Sorry: People looking at the conspiracys and wondering if any are true. Also people feeling sorry for the people in middle eastern countries who are being uprooted because of the US invasion.IRS: People thinking of suing the government/airports because terrorists were able to get through security.Madagascar: Famillies of the victims begging to move on and also wondering why everyone can't get along.This I love: A person who was angry at a familly member when they left for work on a normal day and never returned due to the attack.Prostitute: Moving on, wishing they could've done something and realizing that they can't turn back time.

Axl_morris Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Personally I don't see it as any of that. I think it's more personal to Axl, Prostitute being his lifestyle and how he puts up with shit in the media and people bitching about him online, and throwing shit on stage at him, and paying for him to play concerts. Fortune and shame. For his fame, he gets abused, compares himself to a prostitute. IRS is to do with the legal battles he has faced over the years and basically saying "yeah, fuck you, you can't stop me"You might be right about one songs though but I doubt the whole album is centred around that, not even sure how deep 9/11 effected Axl.

liers Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 I'm not saying I believe it's 100% about 9/11, but I was thinking about how some of the songs and the order could be about it, so I was just seeing what others thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAFC Nick Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Well considering half of the songs were written BEFORE 9/11, I think it's highly doubtful/impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Axl knows...9-11 was an inside job!"Inside" as in inside the mind of a deluded murdering fucking terrorist. Truthers are a disgrace to humanity!They're the original "birthers." Wonder how much overlap there is between those two groups.But seriously, I don't see any connection. I remember at the MSG show in 2002 Axl called NYC the "strongest city in the world" but I'm not sure if he thought about it when composing lyrics for the album. I'm sure it would make for an interesting university thesis. Wasn't there supposedly a song called Oklahoma about the absurdity of Axl fighting with the lawyers of his ex wife meanwhile the Oklahoma bombs had just gone off?

SONOFABITCH Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 The song Chinese Democracy was created before 9/11 so I seriously, seriously doubt it. In fact, I will go so far as to say, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact, little known fact, Michael Jackson totally gave it away on the cover of his album Blood on the Dance floor. Forget the fact that it came out in like 97 or something, he totally was in on that shit. Clearly, your flawless logic has shown me Axl was too, writing songs about 9/11 in the 90's! That son of a bitch! Go there, and post. You will be welcome.Seriously, please go... now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jekylhyde Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) I doubt it has anything to do with 9/11, but if someone thinks or sees that it has, then cool. It just shows how great record CD is. You can interpret it in many ways. Edited June 14, 2012 by jekylhyde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
