Powderfinger Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Sour, this affliction If it was me I'd have it fixed And with everywhere you've been You're much too old to be so naive So what the hell do you want to be Following the trends that never end I can't stand the parties you attend So what the hell do you want with me Oh, you're so underground Oh, ain't that swell Well the word is on the street You're collecting sympathy and then you hide And ya ain't been out in days Will the sunshine burn your face Preserve your precious skin I'll go out, you stay in What the hell do you want to be Following the trends that never end I can't stand the parties you attend So what the hell do you want with me Please don't feed the pigeons Out of the same sad bag of tricks I've heard it all a million times You make me sicker than the wine you drink So if you think I need some help Climb out of your own shell It'll make you think So what the hell do you want to be Following the trends that never end Why is it that I can't stand your friends So what the hell do you want with me What the hell do you want to be Following fashion in the sheets Chasing every other flavor of the week So what the hell do you want from me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugly_Kid_Jose Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 There is a video clip in which all Metallica members opened up about the incident and according to James Hetfield, Axl Rose could have saved the show after what happened prior to their time on stage, however, he preferred to walk off the stage.

WhazUp Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I heard 14 Years was written about Axl after Izzy consulted a psychic to tell him how long Axl would take to release albums after the Illusions 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAU3R Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 This one is as well. Seal was inspired to write it after Axl played him „Eye on you (drums +1dB)“ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamillos Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Just a reminder - something that actually factually is about Axl: The fire started long ago The flames burned out, still embers glow So charred and black There's nothing left to burn, to burn We had the same dream Lived life to extreme A loaded gun jammed by a rose The thorns are knots around your head Your ego cursed you till you bled You cannot crucify the dead To me you're dead, yeah The future is unset in stone Decisions past leave you alone Betrayed us all with your own selfish greed, your greed, yeah New soldiers now say That your beggars collect Re-crucified and paid by you The thorns are knots around your head Your ego cursed you till you bled You cannot crucify the dead To me you're dead, yeah We were like brothers with the world in our hands You always have too much to say Someday you look back and you wonder why You let it all slip away, yeah Crucify the dead Crucify the dead The thorns are knots around your head Your ego cursed you till you bled You cannot crucify the dead To me you're dead, yeah Edited April 3, 2022 by jamillos 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say The Memory Remains is definitely about Rose. Fortune, fameMirror, vain Gone insane But the memory remains Heavy rings on fingers wave Another star denies the grave See the nowhere crowd cry the nowhere tears of honor Like twisted vines that grow Hide and swallow mansions whole Dim the light of an already faded prima donna Heavy rings hold cigarettes Up to lips that time forgets While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back And can't the band play on? Just listen, they play my song 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK how, but I mistakenly cited the date the single was released. The much earlier release of the album and actual song writing further strengthens my belief.

lilacmess Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) All lyrics Slash has ever written and released are about Axl. He said so himself in his book and to members of Insane Clown Posse (it's in their book). Personally I have my doubts about 'I Hate Everyone But You', but who knows.

Chester 524 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I remember hearing that song was about Axl but can't remember the source. here's a video of James talking trash during their tour in the 90s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
