Gcam Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 His adopted name was Bill Bailey, but at 16 he decided he didn't want the name, so he changed to W. Rose, W standing for William because, as he said, "Bill was an ass-hole." And Rose was the name of his biological father. Once he moved to LA he was in a band called Axl, and, with some persuasion from friends, changed his name again to W. Axl Rose. The Oral Sex thing is coincidental as far as I Know.

SwEeT_ChILd Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 AXL ROSE IS AN ANANAGRAM FOR ORAL SEX. IF YOU REARANGE THE LETTERS IN "AXL ROSE," IT SPELLS OUT ORAL SEX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightrain44 Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 That's cool, never knew that one!.. That's kinda like one from 'The Doors'. In the song 'LA Woman', Jim Morrison sings... "Mr Mojo Risin" over and over towards the end of the song.. If you rearrange the lettes you get "Jim Morrison".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl_rose Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Axl was born William Bruce Rose on Feb 6th 1962. He grew up Bill Bailey believing that his step dad, Stephen Bailey was his real dad. When he was 17 he found his mom's diploma and some insurance papers with the last name "Rose" He then changed his last name to Rose. His biological father was a horrible man (well so was his step dad for what he did to the three kids) but he changed his first name to W. because as he puts it "William was an as*hole" He adopted the name Axl from a band he was in in Indiana. As far as the anagram for oral sex, I am not sure if that was intentional or not. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
