A cool picture I dont think you have seen


Recommended Posts

Since the shirt has crazy killer Charles Manson on it, I don't think anyone should wear that shirt.

I know Axl had said he wore it because of the music Manson wrote, but honestly who gives a shit. Axl was young then and I'm sure today he wouldn't wear that shirt nor support Manson in any way.

Manson was known as a mind controller - to this day he is locked up for life for his involvement in influencing a group of young misfits to do some Helter Skelter - although they can't pin him for 1st degree.

Axl wore that T-shirt alongside his 'I am not a Matyr' and 'Kill Your idols' ones... It's just social commentary....

It was his way of commenting on/coping with all the hero worship from the fans - when Gn'R was at their peak, he was inevitably raised to those 'bigger than Jesus levels' - Cult Like Status - with the inevitable 'so crucify me' when he could never live up to the God Like standards some fans and media put him at.

Basically, he was saying - I'm just a guy in a band playing some music that you all happen to dig at the moment, that's all it is! tomorrow, well, that may be a different story....

It was at a stage when people stopped listening to Axl, the musician - and some reflected their own image onto Axl - so Axl, by wearing the Manson T-shirt - reflected an image -in the form of Charlie- back onto them.... :hahafyou:

The Beatles (John Lennon coined the phrase 'Bigger Than Jesus' and got flamed for it) were in a similar situation.... http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/manson/mansonbeatles.html

Manson's pretty out there but he's sharp as a butcher's knife, interesting guy, he didn't kill anyone but doesn't dispute he had some fucked up folk in his ''family''.
