Slash said it was about breaking up and toxic relationships. Yes, we had discussed that one as well in the old WT and assumed that it might be about Axl, but there is an interview where Eric Dover says he wrote the lyrics on it, so I don't know.

Thanks for reminding me of that...I've just been going back through this thread looking for links you posted a while ago to some interviews with Axl and I came across the letter Axl typed to an Indiana journalist. Hilarious! I am your rock and roll nightmare. Is both and I love Axl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillionsOfSpiders Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Even on Slash's 2010 album there are songs about Axl... Crucify The Dead and imo Nothing To Say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the dark Slaxl. lol In comparison, Axl's CD lyrics are much more ambiguous and open to interpretation. Well, Slash did say he had a lot to get off his chest.

In earlier times Slash said that Axl would go on and on about the things of life and whatnot and he never knew what to say. But I do can picture Axl as a self-pitying whining one. Also Axl was def traumatised of his childhood and youth and at the time that wasn't so long ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Axl once said (paraphrasing) that Slash is an angel in public, but can be very mean in private. I don't know if there's truth in this, since Axl's way of perceiving things is ... different, but I wouldn't rule it out completely. 10 minutes ago, MillionsOfSpiders said: I'm sure Slash said somewhere that most of that first Snakepit album is about Axl. Yeah, in his book. 17 minutes ago, Tori72 said: That would be badest sarcasm there. A not so good lay and he was accused of rape and domestic violence.... Ugh. Speaking of that, on another note, I watched part of the Ritz '87 show (awesome) and, I have to say that Axl is one of the two men I find to be hot in a white sleeveless (under)shirt. Spoiler The other one is, of course... I read that Americans call it "wife beater shirt" (no, it hadn't been called that yet in the 80s, when Axl wore it, it's more recent slang).

Yes, the love/hate relationship I think both have described before. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground with either guy, it's extreme love or extreme hate!

MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 7 minutes ago, Georgina Arriaga said: Both made to each other Totally agree. I wholeheartedly believe Axl and Slash are two sides of the same coin. They are made for each other. Slaxl aside, not even getting into romantic or sexual side of things, I do believe those two have a unique bond. Slash has said that too, that they have a bond that no amount of mud slinging would break. Even today, with Slash being a bit iffy towards Axl, who, let's face it, is also acting a bit iffy, I think they're inextricably bound by their history. Don't know whether they think that's a good thing or not. LOL Personally? I think they're lucky to have experienced that kind of bond at all, because many don't get to, and then to have found each other again, even if it's not quite like it was. I did experience it...and lost it. It's hard to live with. So I hope they really make a go of it this time. 7 minutes ago, MillionsOfSpiders said: Do you think some of those lyrics touch on Axl telling him about his childhood and Slash moaning about having to listen to it? Hmm...I'm not inclined to think Slash would be that callous as to complain about Axl confiding in him about his childhood traumas. I hope not anyway. I didn't get that impression from his book because he was very careful about that topic and didn't want to divulge any details of Axl's history. I'd think it would be more everything else Axl would moan about to do with his life in general and the band and everything that goes wrong being someone else's fault etc. And just Axl being generally difficult and annoying. lol 4 minutes ago, Tori72 said: Thanks Yeah, I fell Slash is moaning about it. I think all those guys are not the most empathic people... And that's the other thing...they really weren't the best communicators back then were they? Hopefully they are now. Also, they've got wives/girlfriends to support them and advise them on how to solve a problem/communicate more effectively. I can imagine Susan and Meegan being pretty encouraging of them to talk through things, listen, etc... @Blackstar I love Marlon Brando!! He was awesome. Actually...look what he turned into. Similar to Axl! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
