Original Gunner Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 It's been brought to my attention that W.Axl Rose really seems to know about and respond to a lot of criticism that comes his way from the fans/media/internet and takes it very personally. I mean he dissed the NME live from stage during the last UK performances for writing shit about him, he has refused to give MTV and various other media outlets interviews in the past over negative comments and has even spoken out about two kids called Renato and Xozi posting shit on another Guns internet forum that he didn't approve of. Shouldn't a self-assured musical legend like Axl be above all this, stop holding grudges and just let his music do the talking?DISCUSS rock1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveysham Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 i dunno i think it makes him more human. wen someone of his status responds to criticism it shows the critics that they can't get away with it like they usually do. rock stars should speak out more against their critics, if they can argue against their criticisms then it gives them more creditabilty, makes them seem more human and throws the shit back in the face of the people who think they know what they are talking about.

Sweet Kimberly Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I understand why. Because Axl has feelings like us all. And things upset him. And you can feel piss,sad,or not give a fuck. And somethings shit can really hurt you. Evering make you cry or smash something. And telling people about it helps at least sometimes. If they dont say things back too make you feel wrost.

GunsNHalen Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 (edited) in one of his rants from the early 90's tour, Axl addressed why he responds to criticism or harsh words against him (you can find this rant in the audio section of mygnr.com)in a nutshell, Axl basically says "why not?". and that since the people have every right to express their opinion about him, then he feels he should have every right to express his thoughts on those that talk about him publically.

Takeshi Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I don't have a problem with someone responding when they have been slandered by the media. The problem with Axl is that he throws a tantrum onstage and he sounds like a 10 year old whose mom won't buy him candy. It just makes him look bad and I'm sure that mick wall and the others he's ranted about are still laughing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turn_It_Up Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 (edited) He's thin skinned and it's just his personality to strike out. But I also think he knows his fans like and expect some of these rants and he's happy to serve it up.It's one of his trademarks at this point...

Charisteas Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 (edited) Because he is a pompous delusional prima donna prick.I like the guy and everything, but he is what he is.Whatever anyone does, in the media or anywhere, there will be critisicm. No one is absent from it. This shit shouldn't bother him at all. After all, it is just someone's opinion.

Is it constructive, that helps you with your work to achieve something? or is it someone just being a hater?I think Axl shouldn't give a shit about the 'haters'. I don't think anyone should give a shit about those people. They bring too much negative energy and it isn't good. Why Axl gives them the time of day is beyond me?
