Axl Rose is a sociopath, Chapter 623

[Steak Snabler]

In a long and rambling letter to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he says he's declined induction and he won't attend this weekend's ceremony:

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2012/04/axl-rose-pens-open-letter-to-rock-hall-will-not-attend-asks-to-not-be-inducted.html

He's weird even for a rock star.

 

[Starman]

****ing idiot.

GnR should have been the Rolling Stones of 1985-2015, but basically Axl threw it all away.

Slash, who originally was supposed to be some kind of barely-functional idiot/addict, has proven reasonably professional, in comparison.

Here's what I'd love to know: Did Axl Rose and Isiah Thomas--the two most self-delusional, everything-is-everyone-else's-fault-and-I'm-never-wrong-even-though-everything-I've-touched-since-1992-has-turned-to-SARS douchebags to ever roam the earth--ever cross paths in Indiana in the early '80s?

If you want entertainment, head to Twitter, where Axl enabler Eddie Trunk is declaring how this is a giant **** you to the HOF and a victory for rock fans everywhere (but mostly him b/c he always tells the HOF to **** off on That Metal Show). No Eddie. It's not that at all.

 

[JackReacher]

People actually give a **** about the Rock N Roll HOF?

The rest of the guys were barely functional addicts but most of them have cleaned up. Slash sounds coherent and with it. Duff is actually quite intelligent. Izzy cleaned up and disappeared. No idea abotu Adler, who had a stroke in the 1990s and is definitely impaired by years of abuse.

It's Adler, BTW, whom Axl tried to **** eight ways to Sunday when he left the band. Got him, in his addled state, to sign an agreement in which he got just $2,000 total for leaving the band, with no rights to royalties. But that's right, it's Steven who is lying and breaking up the friendship. Tool. Eat a giant bowl of dicks, Axl.

If only Geddy Lee could show up and accept the honor on his behalf, SportsJournalists.com might finally implode.

This.

Axl Rose is a Ziploc bag of infected rat semen that deserves to die castrated in bus crash diesel fire while eating a skunk's asshole raw.

He was so hosed that the rest of the drug-addled members of what was the best bad of its era ran like nobody's business.

Geddy Lee with Gene Simmons.

And I still don't think GNR belongs in the Hall anyway. A briilliant rock and roll comet. but not a track record worthy of HOF induction.

 

[Shoeless Joe]

Watch the Paradise City video. Here is a group with its members in their 20s that had the world by the balls. My God, this is perfection. This is Rock n Roll. GNR was holding the musical planet in its hand with their debut album. Then, before you know it, POOF, one of the giganticest douchebags in the history of douchebaggery torpedoes everything through his own cocksuckedness. Vlad the Impaler and Joseph Stalin are sitting back in the 37th level of Hell talking about how big of a **** up Axl Rose is.

 

[imjustagirl]

Paradise City is easily my favorite GNR song.

Sorry, but this is absurd. It's rock and roll. It's not there to celebrate compilers.

Unless you want to boot Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, Jackie Wilson, Cream, the Yardbirds, the Police, Ritchie Valens, the Sex Pistols and the Clash. They all had the same number of albums as the original G'n'R lineup (with the exception of the Clash, which was identical -- 5 albums with the original lineup, 1 album with the post-dismantling fake lineup that fans will pretend never happened).

 

[Piotr Rasputin]

Paradise City is easily my favorite GNR song.

One of their most accessible, and one of only a couple on Appetite that didn't have swear words, so it was all over the radio.

Not among my favorites, for those reasons.

Oh sure they do. If the Sex Pistols belong on the strength of one shattering album (and they do), and Nirvana on 2 1/2 (and they do), GnR belongs on the strength of three.

Damn, this had the potential to be as weird and awkward as the Beach Boys' induction.

The Van Halen induction was great too.

Back in the day I once interviewed a stripper/hooker who was a longtime F*c* Buddy of Axl Rose. The stories she told me about their extended sessions together would make the two girls puke in their cup -- "out there" doesn't begin to describe his various sexual hangups.

Well, I don't really listen to guitars, so I would never buy the album. Hence why this was my favorite. :D

This, and Patience.

Yeah, I can't change the channel fast enough when those come on. You suck!!!!!

But Mr. Brownstone comes on and I immediately start driving 90 mph.
