When was the last time you were proud to be an Axl Rose fan?

I stopped being proud of being his fan when I learned he was a wife beater. I'll always love his lyrics, and the art he creates, but it's hard to like him as a person after learning that.

Great post Razor.

Celebrity worship is weird.

Why would somebody be "proud" to be a fan of a band?

I love Axl's music, but why would that make me proud to be a fan of his band? It's not like your friends or buddies or family with the guy. And unless you are a super hot chick, 99.9% of the time he wouldn't give you the time of day if you tried to chat with him in a real life situation (not at a concert or meet/greet).

I find it extremely odd somebody would say they were "proud" to be a fan of any rock singer. Some people need more positive role models in their lives or need to get out of their houses and meet more people.

You don't have to take it so literally. Just you know, you respect what he does as a musician. As fans we relate to the music which reflects that musician's views, thoughts, and feelings. It's not a big deal.

Randy, I think it's time you finally told your therapist about all the distress and trauma Axl has caused you.

Does the question bother you Brainsaber?

No... I care about Randy's mental well-being. I really do.

If you were to push me on answering the question, then I will humor you: Dublin 2010

The person who he is is not defined by being a wife beater. This is unfair with him, people are much more than their wrong actions and broken relationships.

He has his issues but he really worked to became a better person, he still does. I think Axl was very honest about his terrible behavior and disturbing views about women, he wasn't proud of what he did.

I've never read any article in which he's showed remorse for what he's done, if you know of any please share them.

But I agree, a persons mistakes don't define them, how they deal with those mistakes does. If he's owned up and atoned for what he's done wrong, I would certainly respect him for it.
