Post by: Luckyme on June 06, 2004, 09:31:34 AM
This just came in from the pr report of the hollywood reporter. Eminem will be dressed like Axl.
Ch-Check It Out."  D12 with Eminem had the crowd roaring with their parody of a rock band - featuring Eminem dressed as famed Guns 'n' Roses
frontman Axl Rose. Sorry guys, its to early in the morning, tried to post it before, but it came out twice, then I deleted both of them. Oh-Boy!

 The only thing Eminem and the whole fucking rap music can do is to suck one big dick. So they, Eminem, D12, R15, F50, and so fucking on, can suck ON AXL AND GUNS N' FUCKIN' ROSES. Fucking piece of shit.

This will be absolutely hilarious I am sure. Eminem is awesome at parodying people. I wonder if they will mock the new band or old though? The worst part about the whole thing is Axl will just continue to sit in his house and do nothing.

Eh?

I don't think Axl's done anything to offend Eminem so why this?

More to the point - why do they need parady's at this MTV do? I thought MTV was a big enough joke as it was....

That is retarded, and Axl is going to be pissed off.

But one thing is certain:  No one will remember, or care about Eminem in the future, but everyone will always remember Axl Rose:  The greatest rock and roll frontman of the last 20 years.


When CD comes out, it will be clear that Axl ain't no joke.

It is going to make Axl look like even more of a joke that Eminem is making fun of him as this will not be done in a flattering way something tells me. I am not the biggest Eminem fan, but he is the biggest force in music right now like it or not, everything he touches turns to gold, and this will no doubt get alot of play.

Yeah, Axl's gonna get so pissed he's gonna do nothing about it, this is not 1990 anymore where Axl is the pre-eminent force in music and people are going to wait for him to fire back. People aren't going to be real receptive to a 42 year old man in a jersey trying to be a hard-ass. Times have changed, the best thing he could do is release an album or something sooner than later and try to get some credibility back, but we have been saying that for 6 years now with no hint of anything in sight.

Maybe it's not so insulting. There was an article in USA Today a few years back, that I read on this website, that compared Axl and Eminem. At first I thought How could they compare that Idiot to AXL, but then I came to appreciate his music. I even like afew of his songs.  I will have to watch the show though. :peace:

From the pics, eminem could've done better. The mic stand is like Steven Tyler's not Axl.

The drummer, looks like a bloated Afro American version of Angus Young.

I didnt see the bucket pic...but just from the pic of eminem...its more of a rock thing than just Axl..but either way who cares...eminem is a funny guy. Hes only one of a handful of only talented rappers out there...the rest are garbage. Hes creative and funny....dont take it too serious

I don't know what you are talking about but that is clearly a reference to Axl and it is funny as hell! Look at the first pic-Slash on one guitar and Bucket on the other. It is classic. Also, whether good or bad, Axl is still clearly in the public's and media's conscious. This is good. When people stop mentioning you at all, that is when it is over. Now is the time and soon better be the word. At least for an announcement of the release date. Vr is bringing alot of press, so will the Behind the Music. Axl should announce the release date on the day VR release the record in the US. How funny would that be. The greatest shits album doing well everywhere is a great sign as well. People still care-it is still a love/hate thing. 2004 really could be a big year if the redhead wants it to be. This year now has much more potential than any of the previous years.  ;D

Eminem is an idiot. Isn't his time up yet? The Vanilla Ice of modern music.

I can't believe kids today actually think he's cool. That thing at one of the awards shows (talk about whoring yourself out...it seems like most of these rap guys just go from one awards show to the next) when poor Eminem got all upset because someone made fun of him, then he got up on the stage and called a guy a girl. Wow! Ah poor guy, can dish it out but can't take it. So call a guy a girl. So witty!

That's like so grade 2-ish, but hey there's no accounting for taste.

Anyway, Eminem couldn't do an impersonation of Axl anyway. That would mean he actually would need to play live music and sing rather than just pretend to sing like all "today's performers" do.

Eminem is such an homo (look at his last 50 videos where he cross dresses) thinkin hes cool dressin as Axl rose he cant even pull that off without looking like a fag. I hate rap and Axl needs to come out with his new CD and kick the shit out of whatever Eminem comes out with next.

A "parody" like this is about disrespect. It's about mocking. It's something Eminem needs to constantly do because obviously he can't stand on his "music" alone.

No shit sherlock! I'm not saying this is something new for Axl. I'm saying that anybody who is big is going to be made fun of.

I'm saying it's no big deal. Mocking can be done in a fun way, look at Weird Al.

Post by: Eva GnRAxlRosette on June 06, 2004, 05:13:01 PM
This doesn't piss me off (yet).  

If you are gonna parody rock/ rock frontment - then pick the best
- thats what he's done.   If its supposed to be Axl - its not purely Axl...
like YoungGunner pointed out - the scarfs are definitely Tyler's trademark and Eminem definitely knows that.  Is it Brett Michaels?  Ha!  Brett Michaels wishes he was selected to represent all rock frontmen.  Plus no Ce Ce Deville = not Poison.  Too bad he didn't go with a third guitarist to play what - yes, definitely looks like Angus Young.

The Buckethead / Slash 'appearances' is Eminem doing what he does - being a wiseass (forget that BH is not in the band anymore -  the last America saw BH he was in GN'R)

 If this is the "My Band" single.  "All because I'm the lead singer of my band..."  it fits.  Again, Eminem is demonstrating the "lead singer" plight/stima.

If Eminem's intent was to 'make fun' of (current day) Axl he definitely would have gone with braids.  Eminem usually goes after those who talk shit in the press/media.  What has Axl said of late?  He's got nothing to use against Axl as far as that goes.  Nah... I think he's just being funny/clever.  I don't see him going for the throat here - think of it as a 'tribute' of sorts.  Eminem making fun of old school rock in a humiliating manner would alienate a lot of his fans / potential fans.  I mean its 'all good' to make fun of pop stars...  they dont' share an audience he's even trying to reach or would otherwise appeal to.  I know Eminem is Hip Hop / Rap - BUT the fact remains that he is white and for this reason one of the very few rappers who is played on rock radio  (The only ther rap act I hear on my local rock radio station is The Beastie Boys)

Anyway, When I heard "My Band" I thought of Axl.  Especially the line about the girls throwing up their panties!   ;D   Axl IS the quintissential "lead singer"  : ok:

Edted to add:  DEspite all the above - I would prefer if NO ONE EVER tried to impersonate Axl or used him in any joke - but again  -  Eminem trying to represent Rock frontman without using Axl Rose would have left him with who?  I'm serioius!  Who would he have been able to use.  Brian Johnson?  Plus the Buckethead /Slash situation had to be to tasty for him to resist.  Cuz its like WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO THE GUITARIST IS - ITS ALL ABOUT THE FRONTMAN!!!  HEHEHE :P

ive pointed out this before, but axl and eminem do have alot in common. they and bob dylan are my favourite musicians. but here's something else:

-they both had a fucked up childhood with alot of similarities

-they are both pointed out in the media as the worst of bad guys

-they both write both sensitive and aggressive songs

-they were both accused of homophobia

-they are both originally small town white boys who both went to l.a. to gain fame and success

-they both have deadbeat dads who have tried to contact them because of their fame and sucess and generally a fucked up relationship to their parents

-they have both become icons for rebellious youths

they both have caused a stir in the media by controversial statements and stories of their childhoods

-i think there's more but i can't think of it right now so i'ma come back later

It was only a matter of time before that stupid cunt (& that's swearing) took the piss out of Axl Rose.
He's dissed people in his music to sell records.
It wouldn't suprise if he take's the piss out of Axl on his new album.
The guy is a fucking nob - his music is irritating.
I know people (proper fans) who saw him at Milton Keynes Bowl (UK) & said he was fucking awful.

Fuck off Eminem.

Hello Axl.

Hey, you're certainly entitled to your opinion, but believe it or not, not everyone shares your opinion that Eminem is a great "artist"....

And by the way, in the list of the comparisons between Axl and Eminem, we could add:

Axl sings when he performs live and Eminem fakes it (if you could even call what he does "singing", which you can't really and that makes it all the more pathetic that he needs to lip synch...).

Quote

No shit sherlock! I'm not saying this is something new for Axl. I'm saying that anybody who is big is going to be made fun of.

Then you shouldn't have made your first statement. It implies that "Axl made it" because Eminem is making fun of him", just a stupid statement on your part.

And no, not everyone who is big is going to be made fun of. People like Eminem pick targets that they know they can get away with. Mocking someone like Brittany Spears or the Backstreet Boys goes over well with his fan base. And it's the same with Axl. Like the Howard Stern type stuff, people are making fun of him now so he's an easy target to mock.

And as far not getting upset someone should tell your idol, Eminem that. Poor wittle guy got all upset when some humor was being poked at him...

Listen, this is free advertising if anything.  Sit back, watch, and have a laugh!  Chinese D. will be here soon, I hope!

Axl sings when he performs live and Eminem fakes it (if you could even call what he does "singing", which you can't really and that makes it all the more pathetic that he needs to lip synch...).

There are A LOT of lyrics in his performances - if anyone has got an excuse to lip sych its rappers like him who a lot of the time are delivering virtual tongue twisters...  Not that I think it makes for the best live performance...  or that I think its a good thing - I'm just saying I can see why he would do it.  Fucking up in the middle of one of those um.... whats the word?  flows?  well, it would be catastrophic - I'd think much harder to cover up / recover from than when one is singing.  With actual singing you have the music to get you back on track / find your place... but when its just a repetitive beat in the back you will be oh so very very lost!  

Again - no lip synching is much more impressive and would be better (of course).... I'm just saying I can see why he/they'd do it like that.

Of course there is always the arguement that 'if you've performed the song a hundred times there is no reason that you should fuck it up / forget the lyrics....  yet, again - if you do fuck up when doing the type of performance that he does - it'd be an unholy disaster.  (thuogh I'm sure some people feel that Eminem's performances are an unholy disaster already :hihi: )

Question:  does he use a telprompter also?

People like Eminem pick targets that they know they can get away with. Mocking someone like Brittany Spears or the Backstreet Boys goes over well with his fan base. And it's the same with Axl.being poked at him...

Really?  You think so.  Hm.  I'd imagine that he would have to recognize that Britney and the BSB is an entire different audience than Axl's/GN'Rs.

If he goes further than what I'm expecting / hoping he's not - he will be losing at least one fan.  

Watch where you be stepping Eminem!  hehehehe  ;D

This doesn't piss me off (yet).  

If you are gonna parody rock/ rock frontment - then pick the best
- thats what he's done.   If its supposed to be Axl - its not purely Axl...
like YoungGunner pointed out - the scarfs are definitely Tyler's trademark and Eminem definitely knows that.  Is it Brett Michaels?  Ha!  Brett Michaels wishes he was selected to represent all rock frontmen.  Plus no Ce Ce Deville = not Poison.  Too bad he didn't go with a third guitarist to play what - yes, definitely looks like Angus Young.

The Buckethead / Slash 'appearances' is Eminem doing what he does - being a wiseass (forget that BH is not in the band anymore -  the last America saw BH he was in GN'R)

 If this is the "My Band" single.  "All because I'm the lead singer of my band..."  it fits.  Again, Eminem is demonstrating the "lead singer" plight/stima.

If Eminem's intent was to 'make fun' of (current day) Axl he definitely would have gone with braids.  Eminem usually goes after those who talk shit in the press/media.  What has Axl said of late?  He's got nothing to use against Axl as far as that goes.  Nah... I think he's just being funny/clever.  I don't see him going for the throat here - think of it as a 'tribute' of sorts.  Eminem making fun of old school rock in a humiliating manner would alienate a lot of his fans / potential fans.  I mean its 'all good' to make fun of pop stars...  they dont' share an audience he's even trying to reach or would otherwise appeal to.  I know Eminem is Hip Hop / Rap - BUT the fact remains that he is white and for this reason one of the very few rappers who is played on rock radio  (The only ther rap act I hear on my local rock radio station is The Beastie Boys)

Anyway, When I heard "My Band" I thought of Axl.  Especially the line about the girls throwing up their panties!   ;D   Axl IS the quintissential "lead singer"  : ok:

Edted to add:  DEspite all the above - I would prefer if NO ONE EVER tried to impersonate Axl or used him in any joke - but again  -  Eminem trying to represent Rock frontman without using Axl Rose would have left him with who?  I'm serioius!  Who would he have been able to use.  Brian Johnson?  Plus the Buckethead /Slash situation had to be to tasty for him to resist.  Cuz its like WHO GIVES A FUCK WHO THE GUITARIST IS - ITS ALL ABOUT THE FRONTMAN!!!  HEHEHE :P


great post eva i was about to post something similiar

this is actually not an insult to axl but actually a compliment

imitation is a sincere form of flattery and Eminem couldve chosen any rock frontman but he considers axl the best so he is parodying him

if anyone has paid attention to d12's "my band" song

its about eminem getting all the fame and glory and the band taking a backseat to him which is similiar to GNR cause the song fits the GNR situation

so he chooses axl and a little of steven tyler and just the great rock front men of all time cause in that video that is what he supposedly is, a great frontman of a band

eminem is awesome, he is a genius and for him to think enough of axl which im sure was a hero of eminem's growing up i consider it an honor, and is a great way to introduce new fans to one of the originals Axl Rose

As expected the musical performances were a heart-pounding component of the evening. The Beastie Boys were the first act to grace the stage with a hot screen video mix of their single "Ch-Check It Out." D12 with Eminem had the crowd roaring with their parody of a rock band - featuring Eminem dressed as famed Guns 'n' Roses frontman Axl Rose.  >:(

I gotta admit the song also made me thought of when Axl in the RS interview in Feb 2000 was talking about how "it didn't go over to well when we are in the airport and people want my autograph (etc.) and the guys (Duff I think he mentioned for an example) were saying "What am I... Linoleum?"   ;D

I had to laugh though when in the lyrics the guys talk about why bother going to soundcheck cuz the his mike always works and theirs is messed up.... cuz thats one thing that even though he was the leadsinger -  Axl still couldn't depend on his mike to work.

Eminem ROCKS, yeah yeah yeah.. i love it when he pisses off GNR fans who think they know what the fuck is going on. It's such a good parody...

He displays Axl as people think he is, a parody of what people think about what beeing a rock star is like.

And there's also the 'Yeah Yeah Yeah's' playing at the MTV movie awards - i never recently heard anything that sounded more like GNR than the Yeah Yeah Yeah's... in fact, minus extended guitar solos, it's pure GNR - Appetite. It just plain rocks like the pussies at Velvet Revolver can't do.

You should give them a try...

Girl you're just a stupid bitch and boy you're just a no good dick, ah han, ah han, ah han, ah han, ah han, Houuuuuuuuuuuuu girl you're just a stupid bitch and boy you're just a no good dick!

When CD comes out, it will be clear that Axl ain't no joke.

I don't know what the big deal is, it seems fine to me.  Certainly, Eminem would be aware of the comparisons between himself and Axl.  His videos are all very goofy, so I don't think he's necessarily "mocking" Axl, just having fun with it.

You know, anyone upset at this and doesnt find it funny (as I am sure Axl does), than you need to climb up the highest building in your city and jump right the fuck out the window.

Just because you dont like hip hop, doesn't mean there cant be a mutual respect. Rock and hip hop images are fucking funny. Eminem doing this would be great, and now I am definitely going to watch. He probably got the idea because VR is going to be there, and that is awesome. I think I like the guy even more now.

I dont know.  But this is what the millions of people who visit yahoo are going to read:

Quote
Eminem, who performed at the Saturday night taping with his group D12, appeared onstage dressed in a long red wig and jeans in a parody of Guns N' Roses singer Axl Rose (news).

He repeatedly groped and flashed a studded codpiece in front of the cameras and the thousands of people in the live audience. Toward the end of the performance, he pulled down his trousers and flashed his bare backside at the audience.
courtesy: Eeebs

No mention of Brett Michaels (pleez  :hihi:)  or the subtle differences between Tyler's and Rose's micstand.   It just says he's doing a parody of Axl and is wearing a codpiece.   That is how it is being viewed.

And to think I didnt know what the hell a codpiece was until I came to this board!  :o

Post by: Mutherfunker on June 08, 2004, 06:44:34 AM
Mic stand?/ Bret Michaels? for fuck's sake?

1). It's clearly Guns N' Roses to anyone.
2). This, more than anything (despite being a joke), confirms that when you think rock band, Guns N' Roses are number 1. Like someone said: Who else would you copy? No one is more recognisable. Guns N' Roses are the definative rock band.
3). To me it's not a blatant piss take. It's not like he's going round saying Axl's an ass, GNR are shit, etc. Eminem makes parodies of everyone, and everyone is used to it. He's not singling GNR out or anything.

4). Everybody chill out. It's funny.

I disagree. He's not funny. It's simply "cool" to be the one doing the mocking and it's a way to get noticed and sell records and make money.

Eminem's sense of humor was shown on that awards show a couple of years ago when he couldn't handle it when a little fun was being poked at him. He acted like a second grade little child.

Personally I hate eminem but this performance didn't really show GNR in a negative light.  Personally I think it only gave gnr a little free publicity.  Eminem really didn't go out of his way to humiliate Axl.  I don't see this being any more meaningful than when Adam Sandler and Kiefer Sutherland mocked Axl and Slash on Saturday Night Live.  This is no big deal.  Just free publicity.

It wasn't a parody at all. I don't know why people are so upset. They had a guy dressed as Angus too, do you think they were making fun of him as well? I don't even like eminem so I'm defending him but if you listen to the lyrics of the song it's all about LSD - lead singer disease and who is a more logical, recognizable lead singer to dress up as while rapping about the ridiculousness of lead singers thinking they are the whole band than Axl Rose? At the end of the song when he mooned the crowd and they were singing? like a boy band I got the feeling the whole song is a parody of Justin Timberlake. I wouldn't call it a parody at all. Especially considering they had a guy dressed as slash as well. Just recognizable rock stars with problems getting along in my opinion. :peace:

It was kinda stupid actually. All that hype for like 1 min of dressing up as gnr old and new....

the song is about rock bands and reg bands and how the frontmen usually get all the attention. no need to get your panties up all in a bunch

I missed that.. (Conan O'Brian's comments and the reaction).. what happened?

It was typically idiotic "Conan sucks" comments.  Conan cracked maybe three or four jokes on Axl (as opposed to the hundreds of jokes he makes about every other celebrity), and the Axl apostles here gave the typical reactions...

"Fuck Conan O'Brien!  He sucks!  He's not funny! etc"  The exact same replies as to the SNL pardoy of Axl.

I think raoxsle's comments were the most moronic.  He said something to the effect of "Conan's friendship with Slash motivated him to make these jokes."

First off, Conan doesn't even write the monologue jokes.  Secondly, Conan cracks thousands of jokes on Britney Spears.  I guess that means he has a friendship with Justin Timberlake, huh?  But wait a minute, he also cracks myriad Timberlake jokes.  So that mean he's friends with Britney too, right?  Wait a damn minute here....   :nervous:

Well, I thought the "performance" was pretty lame. It's no wonder why Eminem needs to dress up and needs gimmicks.

FYI, during the credits they show Eminem backstage before the D12 performance.  He looks at the camera, flashes the "devil horns", and says "Guns N' Roses is back together!"

 :hihi:

Well, I watched the MTV Movie Music Awards, from beginning to end... and wow... it was incredibly boring.  The general dialogue / jokes were not even amusing, nor were the live performances... when D12 finally made their appearence, again, it was nothing too impressive.  Eminenim's backstage comments were more amusing than the actually performance.  

And that was that :)

I thought it was really cool to watch them pay homage to those classic old bands, but I couldn't help while watching it but be disappointed when I realized that the parody was more interesting to watch than the real thing (i.e. when they went back to their rapper threads).  Wonder what it would have been like to have watched MTV at the height of GN'R's success, back when an appearance by Axl Rose in public wasn't like a Bigfoot sighting.

The overall awards show was really lame, though.  Bad jokes, stupid meaningless "theme".  The only good parts were the D12 performance, the Beastie Boys, and Lindsay Lohan.  :drool:
