So apparently that is how they are marketing it now. Oooooh I did not hear that part! Well.... even lamer.... these people are insulting our intelligence if they believe someone can buy that BS..... actually, it seems they have succeeded because some people here totally believe it Im more bugged by lies like this than whatever Williams intended with his painting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a mix. He said he wore it because he wanted people to know he's not that guy (or something to that effect). It made no sense to me.

vempirechrist Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Jaysus Tittyhumping Christ. Why don't we all light a campfire, sit around it holding hands while singing kumba-fucking-ya. How well off are we people in the first world that constantly need to find something, anything to be offended by. Not everything needs to be explained to death, and everything sure as shit does not need to be politically correct (whatever the hell that means). #thistoo??

Carried Interest Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 AFD 's artwork, the It's So Easy music video, rants, One In A Million, riots, Look At Your Game Girl. Axl's a provocateur. Personally, I don't see how it's a big deal. There are lots of unpleasant things in the world, and artists like Axl, Marilyn Manson, and Kanye are provocateurs. If it wasn't gonna be robot rape, it would've been something else. Look at the unreleased Chinese artwork -- it's chock full of weird, sexual stuff (although I'd love a physical copy of This I Love artwork.)

It probably had more to do with Jim Morrison than any messiah complex on Axl's part. He also wore crosses as early as 89. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
