Question which has mystified me for my entire life

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

Why do people like Guns'n'Roses?

From the very first moment I became aware of them they struck me as being utterly repellent.

Also, 'Push It' = best song ever made.

Even though I like Push It more, I want G'n'R to win this poll - S'n'P have had their turn.

S'n'P cannot have ENOUGH turns!

Sexually confused paranoiac frontman tempered by down to earth, raised eyebrow at "yet more of your crazy antics Axl/Moz" guitar "hero".

it took me years to get over the homophobia and violence against women that permeates gnr, but god paradise city is so lurid, and sexy, and over the top, and campy van campinstein

"From the very first moment I became aware of them they struck me as being utterly repellent."

That was the point! Rock music is meant to be scary and offend people and etc etc etc etc.

"Sweet Child of Mine" still amazing even today. Not as much as "My Michelle" though, which is the best love song ever written.

But they're not scary or offensive! They're just disgusting and awful.

Also, rock music is shit.

you love it really, that's why you talk about it ALL THE TIME :)

Re: Question which has mystified me for my entire life

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

I don't! I just try to stop other people from acknowledging it!

Re: Question which has mystified me for my entire life

[nicolars.livejournal.com]

Disgusting and awful would qualify as offensive for most people.

G'N'R rule!

Chinese Democracy is coming out in November!

Re: Question which has mystified me for my entire life

[koganbot]

November of what year?

Re: Question which has mystified me for my entire life

[koganbot]

Sorry, but "Chinese Democracy is coming out in November" seems to me to be the Axl Rose equivalent to "We'll start withdrawing troops from Iraq in the near future."

Re: Question which has mystified me for my entire life

[jel-bugle.livejournal.com]

heh, yeah I know...but it says it'll be out this year on Wikipedia:
