Nice Boy Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 You’d be surprised, quite a few people are able to either disregard the lyrics for the sake of appreciation the musicianship of the song, or run with the (unconvincing) “third person perspective” interpretation of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D4NNY Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 I do think the LED art thing is kinda cool, I think the album choice is strange considering patience excludes Steven and we call all have our view on OIAM, we can love it or hate it for different reasons but the idea Steven is going to make an art canvas of it is slightly distasteful in my opinion 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the next would be Lies since it's an album he is on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is easier to believe that Axl would express himself in the most hardcore way possible and not give a fuck than to believe he is a racist. I’m sure he knew the song would be misinterpreted and obviously went with it anyway. After all, he is a raging liberal as it seems from his Twitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester 524 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I would advise him to skip one in a million and do one for Civil War instead. but I'm not his advisor so what do I know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how he interprets the lyrics. He could very well make it an anti-hate statement piece and ensure that mentality is left in the past. Or it's in there for publicity...

It’s unconvincing that he was writing the lyrics from someone else’s perspective, when it’s clearly just his own recollection of arriving in LA and experiencing an unnerving culture shock. I don’t believe for one second Axl was ever a racist like ‘KKK’ racist, but he did have a small town white boy view of black people, and quickly matured beyond that during his first few years in LA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think this is pretty spot on and to a large extent corroborated by what Axl himself has said and others, although various explanations/excuses have been given. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karice Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) Another problem with One In A Million is the song title. I honestly thought One In A Million was going to be a LOVE song like Sweet Child Of Mine, but it's a shocking, controversial, political song instead. 😳 Maybe a title change would have made the song more clear like something like, "Small Town White Hick In Seedy LA?" So we'd know going in that this is going to maybe be a controversial song and not be completely blindsided? 🤔 Edited March 16, 2023 by Karice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I personally think it's kinda sad that more than 30 years after releasing an album and an EP (even if one of them was groundbreaking) with these other four guys who kicked him out of the band and barely even acknowledge him anymore, Steven still won't move on. It's always about AFD with him. Therapy would do him good. No joke. Like man... the moment you set in stone that your best years are behind you, that's it. And he did it so early 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBucky Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 My wife bought me one of the Appetite pieces for my birthday when he released those. It's on the wall, and doesn't look too bad. I wouldn't have bought it for myself, but it's fairly cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
