Dexterscollar Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) Have done some recent research on news articles about Axl's history. Seeing if there is any interest on posting here or not. I feel that his past has shaped who he has become today and alot of his music is semi-autobiographical. -Newspaper articles incluse the 1964 trial of his father in relation to an assault on his mother ,(Axl 2 at tthe time) numerous clippings on his fathers criminal history fro mthe 60's thru 1980's. - The 1974 newspaper article about Axl being hit by a car and hospitalised, aged 12 -A 1977 car crash involving his step -father injuring two cyclists (Axl 15 and still living with him) Edited April 4, 2023 by Dexterscollar spelling 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintari Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) I'm relieved. I thought this was going to be about Axl saying some no-no words in a song he wrote three-and-a-half decades ago. Edited April 4, 2023 by Nintari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by your post I think all he knew was trauma growing up so we are lucky he is not fucked up or dead . if this is allowed of course i for one am very interested, Keep this mf going if you can. thanks in advance..

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 When most of us are young we do and say dumb things. Axl being in the limelight from day one with GNR is no exception. I've seen Axl grow over the years. He seems very happy and content in his life now. I love it. Most of us if we're lucky enough to live longer we do learn new things about our lives and usually grow up and do things better than we did when we were younger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why ballads and love songs about relationships never have interested me. I want the grit, feel n knowledge and we certainly get this with Axls lyrics! Semi Autobiographical. I agree. So if people dare to AI that they should clearly think again. Sorry i am off topic there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Interesting, had no Idea he had been knocked down by a car. Always wondered if there were any news articles about his dads death, wasn't he shot execution style or something. I recall an interview in 1991 I think where Axl talked about him dying "at close range" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendirosez Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Man, this thread is going to sting. I know that in April 1992 he was talking to Rolling stones magazine in depth about William Rose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't make child abuse and domestic violence a secret from children. They need to know it's not okay. It happens and if it's happening to them or their friends, they need to tell. And especially get the message across they aren't the only one and they don't have to face this alone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
