Facekicker Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Axl's silence implies he had no counter reply to Slash If what Slash said was wrong, why didn't Axl sue him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 i think axl was always just drawn to enigmatic and rebellious stuff even if there was no real meaning behind it -- hence the zodiac references, the manson shirts, yadda yadda.honestly? most guys go through it at some point in their life, the rebellious spirit and whatnot. it's why alienated teens always get drawn to dudes like jim morrison who were emblematic of that kind of spirit. and so it goes.

cooker Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 What was it that Axl said in the chats about Kurt Cobain. One of the oddest things i've read from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubbaBubba Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 What was it that Axl said in the chats about Kurt Cobain. One of the oddest things i've read from him.He referenced kurt in the chats?? Cool, I didn't remember that.He said kurt was "a junkie, with a junkie's life" way back when - but that's the definition of straight shooting!i think axl was always just drawn to enigmatic and rebellious stuff even if there was no real meaning behind it -- hence the zodiac references, the manson shirts, yadda yadda.honestly? most guys go through it at some point in their life, the rebellious spirit and whatnot. it's why alienated teens always get drawn to dudes like jim morrison who were emblematic of that kind of spirit. and so it goes.To an extent agree, but the point I'm (Axl's?) making about the official UYI album sleeve shot is that some of it did have very deliberate meaning.

themadcaplaughs Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Too lazy to find the exact quote, but it was something along the line of "Kurt got bored and said never mind. I made Chinese Democracy' . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 "Kurt got bored and said never mind. I made Chinese Democracy' .I have an interpretation of that quote - assuming that is what he said or pretty close to it.Maybe he meant "Kurt wrote Nevermind about being disillusioned and bored. My thoughts that made up the lyrics on Chinese Democracy are different from that" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts that made up the lyrics on Chinese Democracy are different from that"Yeah, that could be it. You could even say it sounds like he's implying he thought the music on nevermind was boring, at least in comparison to cd. Not sure about that, but it'd be hard to argue that it wasn't less sophisticated, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris 55 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Cool thread, but one I don't think I have much to add to.I throw in the softball: the Zodiac message on the cover of TSI?Yeah, I like that one. Who was it again that finally found the code? His name escapes me...Here's one. What concert dvd did this quote (now used in a post) originate?
