Guns n Roses: Critical Rehab

didn't you read the interview, he has a zoo.

hm... so the jungle is literal. huh.

exactly.

I write him a note every so often reminding him that serpentine is an adjective and that verbs traditionally want a noun, so probably "serpent" is the better call if he ever gets around to a rewrite, or perhaps "serpentine penis" if he wants to draw out the line a little

those 'motivational poster' memes that use adjectives and nouns interchangeably are just further proof that axl was a prophet

Now a race of snake people in LEGO Ninjago.

serpentine: a mineral or rock consisting essentially of a hydrous magnesium silicate usually having a dull green color and often a mottled appearance

Appetite for Destruction was the first album I ever bought. When I was a kid, I thought "You're Crazy" was about someone endearingly wild and free-spirited. I now realize that I was probably wrong.

lol well axl is endearingly wild and free-spirited

Seems appropriate: Axl suspended above the audience playing grand piano, equally isolated from band and audience:

Izzy joins GnR on stage in Vegas: http://www.spin.com/articles/guns-n-roses-end-las-vegas-residency-izzy-stradlin

Vegas would seem like a perfect place for Axl, in a compound with 20-ft-high walls next to Penn's.

Good old Izzy.

Love Axl wandering around in the distant background and then trotting back to the front whenever there's a chorus. It's like he's doing a tribute to the Mah Na Mah Na sketch from the Muppets.

that's...just how "14 Years" goes though?

axl sounds pretty good in that clip with izzy!

like izzy's threads too, he looks slick

izzy still sounds p good - seems healthy no? and yeah axl sounds good with him

love 14 years

lol speaking of muppets izzy's hat/glasses combo kinda reminds me of Zoot the sax player from Dr Teeth's Band

in a good way

izzy's got one of those voices where he sounded like a 50 year old at 30, so yeah good on you for sounding the same when it's age appropriate haha

lol

izzy's still one cool motherfucker

14 years, huh. this song could actually be about the making of Chinese Democracy.

we need to get word to izzy to stage a coup, oust axl and all those plastic-faced weirdos and bring back slash and duff

it is pretty funny: a song izzy wrote about 14 years of friendship when they were 28, and there were 14 years between GNR's last official release and Chinese Democracy. And the lyrics are pretty apt.

Axl-Izzy sideproject would be the best imo

yeah that's true

songwriting-wise, definitely

they recorded one Izzy song for CD, probably the unreleased song I most want to hear

really? i didn't know that

I'm glad he's still on ok terms with axl - I dunno why but it gives me hope, lol

Izzy's early exit is prob why he's the only member of the classic lineup who seems to be cool w/ everyone -- he saw where things were headed and got out peacefully before it got ugly

i posted that on the "welcome to the jungle" thread a few days ago.

Oh. Should be posted in every thread prolly.

believe me, i've thought about doing that

It seems not to be an april fools and actually fucking happening:

I like how Axl's outfit *almost* makes it look like a tiny lingerie model is wearing a giant Axl Rose costume

I don't know how Axl is going to stand it, maybe he's forgotten. The dressing room at the Troub is one of the most unpleasant places to sit for hours waiting to play and the specs of the building mean you can't just stay in your hotel/bus and come in at stage time - you can't get into the club from the front without going through the audience, and you can't get up to the dressing room from the back without crossing the stage

Nice Fedora. And what the fuck is that around his mid-section?

Duff looking like Robert Plant

Key tar player really needs to hide

Want to see big tubby Slash

Oh that photo is from two years ago.

It's always something:

Jesus, Οὖτις, that picture! Axl looks like the cover model from Trout Mask Replica.

He should borrow Dave Grohl's throne.

I actually think "Critical Rehab" would be a great title for a G'n'R album.

Mickey Rourke should do something like The Wrestler except where he's Axl.

Would watch

what are the odds that's it's a real injury? Or is this just axl being axl?

He apparently did borrow the throne. This is some grade A comedy

Axl looks like Mark Hamill now
