What the hell is an Axl?

Have to get this train back on the GNR Axl tracks. Hey, Esq. I would dig reading a response to this past post of mine:
Hey Ramone, what are your thoughts on GNR's 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door'? Open ended question, eh? So, do you or do you not dig it? Howabout a compare/contrast with Bob's original.

Aloha...

I haven't been around much lately.

Guns and Roses were not a cover band. They weren't.
It is kinda fun, though, to hear Axl sing Mama Kin or Ain't it Fun or Live and Let Die. But I don't really care to hear them anymore. I usually skip over Knocking on Heaven's Door, sometimes I don't.

'Think about You' is one hell of a song though....

Guns N' Roses' Axl Rose becomes a recluse – again

The famously flakey frontman is dealing with the disappointment that was Chinese Democracy in his own way – by staying at home and not coming out to play

Buzz up!

It's not just Guns N' Roses fans who were disappointed with Chinese Democracy – so was Axl Rose himself. Fed up with the album's poor sales, the band's frontman has locked himself in his home and is not coming out, according to reports.
"[Axl] won't come out of his house," a source told the New York Daily News. "[He] doesn't want anything to do with [the album]."
Almost 15 years in the making, Chinese Democracy was finally released in 2008. Despite the fanfare around its completion, the album failed to make a substantial chart impact – peaking at no 2 in the UK and no 3 in the US. The title single only rose as high as no 27.
Axl Rose has also fired and re-hired manager Irving Azoff at least three times in the past five weeks, according to the source – described as "close" to Azoff. But "Axl is Axl. People get hired and fired all the time in this business."
Azoff's office doesn't seem particularly concerned. Asked about the relationship with their client, a spokesman said, "We're in daily contact with Axl, and we look forward to continuing to support him and Guns N' Roses."
Although a major world tour was expected this summer, Guns N' Roses have yet to announce any concert plans for 2009

These people at the Guardian are Idiots.

This is what came to mind as I read the article:

(Slash / McKagan / Rose)

Why do you look at me when you hate me
Why should I look at you when you
make me hate you too
I sense a smell of retribution in the air
I don't even understand why the fuck
you even care
And I don't need your jealousy yeah
Why drag me down in your misery
And when you stare don't you think I feel it
But I'm gonna deal it back to you in spades
When I'm havin' fun ya know I can't conceal it
'Cause I know you'd never cut it in my game
Oh no
And when you're talkin' about a vasectomy
Yeah
I'll be writin' down your obituary
History

You got your bitches with
the silicone injections
Crystal meth and yeast infections
Bleached blond hair, collagen lip projections
Who are you to criticize my intentions
Got your subtle manipulative devices
Just like you I got my vices
I got a thought that would be nice
I'd like to crush your head tight in my vice
Pain!!

And that goes for all you punks in the press
That want to start shit by printin' lies
Instead of the things we said
That means you
Andy Secher at Hit Parader
Circus Magazine
Mick Wall at Kerrang
Bob Guccione Jr. at Spin,
What you pissed off cuz your dad gets more
pussy than you?
Fuck you
Suck my fuckin' dick

You be rippin' off the fuckin' kids
While they be payin' their hard earned
money to read about the bands
They want to know about
Printin' lies startin' controversy
You wanta antagonize me
Antagonize me motherfucker
Get in the ring motherfucker
And I'll kick your bitchy little ass
Punk

I don't like you, I just hate you
I gonna kick your ass, oh yeah! oh yeah!

You may not like our integrity yeah
We built a world out of anarchy oh yeah!

And in this corner weighin in at 850 pounds,
Guns N' Roses

Get in the ring
Yeah!

Yeah this song is dedicated to All the Guns n' fuckin' Roses fans
Who stuck with us through all the
Fucking shit
And to all those opposed...
Hmm...well
