Srushti7 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I have mad respect for Mike & Axl so couldn't help notice the similarities both have. Here's just a few of them Both were from Indiana(Michael from Gary, Axl from Lafayette) Both had traumatic childhoods Both had abusive fathers Both possess insane talent Made it huge in music business solely on the basis of talent Care about fans Massive fan following Lonely souls who just needed a little love back in their prime when all bashing started Workaholics to the point will risk their health Were thrashed by the media for being themselves and not giving a shit Both fragile asf.(I know Axl is tough asf but I also know he has a lot of emotions and also is fragile ) Vocabulary fire asf. (Explains their songwriting) Musical geniuses That's all I could find. 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srushti7 Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 26 minutes ago, Towelie said: Axl Rose? Seriously? Yes. Axl was always very passionate about Guns. Keep in mind he gave up heroin, became clean nearly around '88 or something. One I thing I always say about Axl, is how he gave his 100% in every performance. UYL tour, Appetite tour etc prove that. And in 2006 he was I think hospitalized or something like that because of over working. He's got an incredible work ethic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see him interacting with fans outside of the show, I'm not saying he's a dick to people because we've all have seen him taking pictures but "Care about fans" is a stretch. I agree with the other poster earlier on this thread, the only real similarity is that they are both a little weird and are somewhat out of touch with reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

double talkin jive mfkr Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 i have a feeling Axl was indeed a workaholic during the illusion recordings how else could he have produced songs like NR Estranged and Coma i bet writing songs like those and others almost killed him what led after the illusion tour - pretty sure the wheels fell right off and then his ethic turned totally inside out on CD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it's a stretch but however we can't ignore the fact he would stop shows midway to confront people who would throw stuff onstage. Remember how 2 fans got crushed at one of their shows? Also there were some reports saying Axl released UYI 1, 2 at the same time so that fans could afford buying. And yeah he's an asshole and I won't defend it. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole "weird and out of touch with reality" is due to MJ being INFJ and Axl being INTP. INxx part is what makes them different. And the reason I click with both of 'em-I'm an INTJ Btw it's Myers Briggs personality type (psychology) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RussTCB Posted February 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2018 I'm a big fan of both. I'm actually a way bigger MJ fan than I am Axl/GN'R. I don't see many similarities between them at all. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I don't think there are any similarities between Axl and MJ other than some very superficial ones. If you're interested in comparisons, check this thread: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 When I think about their biggest tours: - MJ was grabbing at his crotch - Axl had tight little shorts that showed lots of crotch. So crotch based stage craft, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
