Do you ever feel like you are watching Mike Tyson's career play out again thru Axl Rose? You know they aren't going to go out on top but you will follow them to the end.

I think Mike is the better ranter of the two.

[D-GenerationX]

Yes, I make this comparison all the time. He's my favorite boxer ever, and on my Mount Rushmore of favorite athletes.

Both are astounding cases of missed opportunity, squandered talent, and wasted time.

When Axl gets a tattoo on his face then I'll start thinking he's living through him.

There are no second acts in American life.

Axl doing a tour where he just talks for 2 hours? I could see it.

It's Rocky IV territory. Axl has to go into the russian mountains to train with logs and write songs in a freeze ass cabin.

At the VMA's Axl said "end of round 1" what fucking round are we in now?

He's been suspended for life by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

To be honest I think it's a shame that Axl seems to be acting the part of every egotistical rockstar, almost like a cliche. He's the only member left out of the originals, he's acted like a hermit since the late 90's, he's spent decades making a record, and he seems to blame everyone else but himself. Not saying I think this way about Axl, but it's a shame that the stereotypical nature of a huge rockstar who let his ego isolate him from the world, does kind of fit Axl in a way.

What will Axl's version of - "I want to eat your children" be?

We all know it will be directed at Slash.

Who will "I'll fuck you till you love me, F@ggot!" be directed at?

VMAs is Axl's 'Buster Douglas', a unceremonious stripping of the power. The 2011-13 tours are Axl's 'Kevin McBride', walking into punches for a pay cheque.

2014. Axl Rose and Kenny Powers World Tour.

Tommy Hilfiger but they seem to have made up so I'll go with Irving Azoff.

Unquestionable similarities between Tyson and GNR/Axl. Both, at their peak, are arguably the greatest ever. Neither, however, sustained the throne lone enough to be collectively recognized as the best. That does NOT take away from the greatness realized and achievements accomplished that so few other athletes and musicians experience. Each should be proud of what they left behind and whatever marks they continue to create in their lifetimes.

Doug Goldstein was his Don King.
