Thanks for appreciating the Duff Dogs :lol:

 

I remember Axl referencing split personality disorder once. I can confirm that I am not Axl's potential 23rd personality that he mentions in this interview ( https://www.a-4-d.com/t2649-1992-06-dd-musician-shadow-boxing-with-axl-rose  ), as we do not live in the version of the universe where Axl has developed dissociative identity disorder from his severe childhood abuse.

I found these quotes interesting. "I kind of separated from the self I came here with. Man, I did a really good job of putting together a reasonable facsimile of who I thought I was". Although he does not have DID, he does express a sentiment of feeling like he had a fragmented sense of self. This interview with Vicky Hamilton ( https://www.a-4-d.com/t7304-2015-04-08-daily-mail-interview-with-vicky-hamilton ) also mentions the idea of Axl acting like "He has two very distinct personalities - one is a very sweet boy the other is demon dog from hell". And this one here ( https://www.a-4-d.com/t2649-1992-06-dd-musician-shadow-boxing-with-axl-rose again ), talking about the separation between "Billy" (himself as a kid), and Axl. Especially the quote where he says "I did a really good job of putting together a reasonable facsimile of who I thought I was. I was an angry pissed-off person most of the time. At least I was very honest to that.", it makes it sounds like at one point, Axl's sense of self was like broken bunch of mirror fragments, held together by him angrily taping it all together in an attempt to make it make sense again. Some fragments large and reflective, some small and unpowerful, some cold/cool, some sharp and painful. (<- and considering the thread this is in, not a merch product idea! I think that selling "art" consisting of mirrors personally smashed and taped by Axl, who might accidentally cut himself and leave some blood on the glass pieces, would be an even worst merch than a Dog McKagan!)

 

 

Ayyy, looks like something similar to the fragmented mirror thing was sort of a "merch" ages ago, if you stretch the definition and count a Rolling Stone issue as a buyable Guns N Roses thing. So I'm not nuts for going on a tangent about visually representing Axl using a fragmented mirror as a sort of artwork, someone else thought it was appropriate too. I'm not sure if I want that picture as a poster, but maybe some other people would like that picture as a poster-merch.
