2020_Intensions Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Does anybody know the show which Axl went on a rant talking about this song and One In a Million? It was an epic rant and I remember seeing it before the Great Purge of 2018. It was a '91 show if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystery Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I so wonder what Axl thinks of those rants these days. He seems like a million miles away from this mentally and emotionally. Probably would think young Axl is absolutely insufferable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say and do what you want without worrying some asshole might stop you. yeah, this was young Axl and when you're young you say shit before you think sometimes. Today's Axl is older and when you get older you don't give a shit about what people think or say about you because if you are content with your life it doesn't matter. Axl was dealing with tons of shit back in the early 90's with personal and band stuff, so I'm proud that Axl has grown and done better now with his life and the band. That's what growing up means. Luckily for Axl he's done a lot of growing up because some people never do and repeat the same shit. Not to say Axl isn't the same tough guy he was. I'm sure he's personal feelings about certain things are still there, he just deals better with them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see what some of you would have done dealilng with writing songs, drug addiction and other stress to keep the band you love together without falling apart yourself. Sometimes you have to be selfish to keep your sanity above all else. No one really knows what went on with GNR and because Axl was the lead singer and focus of GNR, he got blamed for every fucking thing that went wrong. The man had tons of shit to bitch about. But now GNR is a band together to be proud of and luckily they are alive and healthy. some bands don't get a second chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the one thank you!!! I thought he went on a rant specifically about the topics in the song OIAM though, perhaps I'm misremembering or it's just a different rant. Do you know what I'm talking about? He addresses each "controversial" subject he mentions in the song in a list with the crowd cheering as he goes "I dont care if you're __ just dont ___ " etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coliseum Oct. 18, 1989. I suppose it can be found out there somewhere. I think it was also in one of GNR Central's videos about the Rolling Stones gigs.

You never knew what was going to happen on any given night. It was exciting and interesting. Pretty much the complete opposite of what we get now, which--by comparison--seems bland, corporate and completely lifeless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Boy Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 God he was such a drama queen, lol. You can just feel the rest of the band behind him thinking oh god, another Twain wreck. Fun times though yeah What year did the rants finally stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Blsckstar or Soulmonster said it was a couple of years before NITL but I can’t quite remember. I guess it depends on what qualifies as a rant, too..

He did one or two mini-rants in 2006 and nothing after that, so he essentially stopped in 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the closest thing to a "rant" in the past decade plus was the intro to You Could Be Mine in Philly in 2012, which was less of a rant and more of an extended "it's nice to be back after all this time, sorry for what happened in 2002." And if he thought young Axl was insufferable, he'd be objectively correct. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
