Title: Blender mag: Axl #3 Craziest Pop Star Post by: GypsySoul on March 19, 2004, 09:58:09 AM Maxim Presents BLENDER (mag) April 2004 Issue
THE 50 CRAZIEST POP STARS EVER! SHOW US YOU?RE NUTS! You don?t have to be crazy to be a rock star. But let?s just say the world (and this magazine) would be a far less colorful place without these 50 drug-addled, tantrum-throwing, Thorazine-gulping and/or just plain mad music maestros. BY JANE BUSSMAN, JOHNNY DAVIS, ANDREW HARRISON, STEVE KANDELL, BEN MITCHELL AND MICHAEL ODELL (http://gypsysoul.lunarpages.com./50Axl.jpg) 50. SIR ELTON JOHN 49. BRITNEY SPEARS 48. R. KELLY 47.

WHITNEY HOUSTON #3. AXL ROSE Deranged GN?R singer and topiary fan CASE HISTORY: Rose developed a loathing for authority as a child after his stepfather hit him for singing along to Barry Manilow?s ?Mandy.? Despite achieving global rock hegemony with 1987's Appetite for Destruction, all was not well in this redneck intellectual?s jungle: He claimed Courtney Love tried to possess him at 1993's MTV awards, and he?s still working on the follow-up to GN?R?s album of punk covers, The Spaghetti Incident?, which was released 10 years ago. CRAZIEST MOMENT: After marrying Erin Everly in 1990, Rose bought a house in the Hollywood Hills and had two topiary elephants delivered by helicopter. The couple never moved into the property. HE?S SO CRAZY: ?I?m trying to have a happy life here - why do I keep getting in my own way with it? What?s going on here?? 02. BRIAN WILSON 01. MICHAEL JACKSON Gypsy comment: I didn't know what a topiary elephant was so I looked it up. It's just like a big chia pet that's planted outside. (http://gypsysoul.lunarpages.com/topiary.jpg) Blender thinks that's the craziest thing Axl has ever done?? :confused: Now if he tried to put two REAL ELEPHANTS in a helicopter, well maybe, just maybe, I would agree! :hihi: Title: Re:Blender mag: Axl #3 Craziest Pop Star Post by: Annie on March 19, 2004, 10:20:33 AM :rant:First of Axl DOES NOT BELONG on this list! Second Courtney Love is one of the most vile human beings on the planet, no wonder Kurt Cobain committed suicide-being married to her probably drove him to it. She and Michael Jackson should be tied for #1. Did you see her literally jump George Foreman on SNL several years ago?And her antics this week alone should demand a rewrite of that article. I wouldn't want that woman anywhere near me and I hope that somebody looks out for her daughter. :rant:
