Jackamo! Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I was just wondering if you think Axl Rose is a household name? For example, "Micheal Jackson(sp.?)" is a household name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONEZY Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 He was, and I think he still is today but not for the reasons we'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idiot Wind Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 He's not a household name, but most people at least know what he represents. Say "Axl Rose" and people who aren't into music probably think of the whole Appetite era rock scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience 4 Axl Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 He is in my house. Actually I had more people call me or send messages because they heard about his arrest than when he first started the tour. So he's become more popular lately, just maybe not for the best reasons.

EverythingWasRoses Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I think he is.A friend of my moms was over and my mom was showing her my guitar (I wasn't home). And her friend said that her boyfriend was trying to learn guitar, but you can't just pick up a guitar and expect to play like Axl Rose.My mom told me this later and I just started laughing.So I guess people do know who Axl is, even if they aren't 100% sure what he does.

PrettyTiedUp763 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) Yeah, I pretty much think he is a household name. People at least know of him here. They might not know everything about him but they know that he is a musician. And yeah, in my house everyone knows very well who he is.

For example, "Micheal Jackson(sp.?)" is a household name.Yeah, I think he is. Just the other day he released the Axl Rose - Shave Your Nuts Trimmer. So I can defenately see him on tv again promoting with the aid of George Foreman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firecrown Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Love him or hate him, the name Axl Rose is as household as bacon & eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmithmca Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 not to be rude, but this is a dumb thread.of course he is a household name. i cant believe people are even entertaining the possibility that he might not be(and im not even saying this just because i am a guns fan, i am simply stating the obvious).

swlabr Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 He's not much of a house hold name to me. Someone like ELvis, Johnny Carson or the beatles is a house hold name, at least in their prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anagram Of Oral Sex Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I was getting a physical for football a few years back, and I had a GNR shirt on, and before I dropped my pants he (the doctor) started asking me about what Axl Rose was up too. It was awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vogstar90_G'N'R Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 his real name was william bailey growing up so Axl was never his household name but he is the only axl i have heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
