Post by: AxlRoseVen on December 01, 2005, 04:29:05 PM
...   :smoking:  ok, I know other persons have posted something like these lines before but I?m so sure other ones haven't had the chance to read this to express their own opinions!!!!...so the thing is:

1)Why did Axl come back to the show business speakin? 'bout a rare country like CHINA after all this fucking time?
2)Why does Axl feel a special sentiment 'bout the Chinese culture these days when he didn't give a damn 'bout the Chinese people from the start?
3)Although Axl didn't say a word ?bout CHINA for a weird reason the guy?s been attracted by that culture a long long time ago?

?well folks you might have the right answer ?.so let us know then!!!!   ;D

I think it's cuz he watched a movie about Chinese Politics or something and he was intrigued so he researched about it.

Not to get famous. I'm not sure but i think he already is famous ::)

Maybe Tina Chan (is this name correct ???) is Chinese and cute?
Maybe he's into kung fu movies?
Maybe the past regression therapy finally reminded him that he was originally the Monkey king?

It's because he's a communist

Don't you know?

No. I 'm sure it's has nothing to do with the ideology.

Axl stated in the Loder interview that he picked the name Chinese Democracy because he thought it sounded cool.  There is no great mystery behind the name choice.

You know there doesnt have to be a special meaning behind everything he writes, says, or names. ?And if there is im sure we will find out when the album comes out. ? ?Oh by the way, ?you call china a rare country, LMFAO which are you dumb or stupid. Theres over a billion people in that country. ?Which happens to be 1/6 the population of the entire world.

One of Axl's first shows back with the new band was in China, so it must have a special meaning for him. He even displayed the album cover and dropped red/white confetti.

There has been a bar called Guns N Roses in singapore, one in Ho Chi Minh too for a long time.

Some of the asian culture is fascinating and Axl was always described as a very cultured individual. Maybe he finds some peace into it. Who knows ?

Loder: You're going to call this album "Chinese Democracy." What is the meaning of that, since there is no Chinese democracy, of course?

Rose: Well, there's a lot of Chinese democracy movements, and it's something that there's a lot of talk about, and it's something that will be nice to see. It could also just be like an ironic statement. I don't know, I just like the sound of it.

  If you listen to some of Axl's rants from old shows, he's always been about not letting anybody keep you down.  When you look at Communist China, you get over a BILLION people being repressed and kept down.  It's so bad that alot of folks over there have just learned to accept that the government will decide what is acceptable for each person to hear, see, think, etc.  All tv, radio, internet, etc. is monitored and censored.  "Chinese" Democracy is a paradox. 

  So is this to try and get more fame?  Absolutely not.  If you look at the situation with evangelical christians here in the United States, who are trying to implement more stringent censorship and control via "decency" laws, it doesn't take a genius to see the potential nightmare scenario in our own backyards.  "Chinese" Democracy could be coming soon to any of our backyards...if we're not careful.

  Plus, remember, it's just an album/song title.  The CD song (to me) demonstrates Axl's ability to write songs from a personal level, and not have to hit you over the head with a political message from high atop a celebrity soapbox.   : ok:

Pepe666, I hate to burst your bubble.  If you think that movie isn't about "politics" here's one of Webster's definitions of political:  involved or charged or concerned with acts against a government or a political system.   The film Kundun is actually described as a political drama.  Do you know what the film is about?  The Chinese Army forces the Dalai Lama out of Tibet...and that's just part of it. 

I swear I remember a thread arguing this same point about CD being "political."  Again, I am sticking to my opinion that Axl aint dumb enough to take sides on specific issues...that alienates part of the audience. 

The name Chinese Democracy is a tragic paradox.  Do you honestly believe he'd watch this political drama, get inspired by the movie, and as a result, create music that has no political ideals involved?  Like I said, he won't slam you over the head one way or the other, he'll provide lyrics and vocals that will be thought-provoking and allow you to identify with more general themes like pain, frustration, love, fear, and what all of us pursue in our lives...enlightenment. 

Now I'm going to go have a beautiful mixed drink!   :peace:

Oh ok   :-\  , Axl was right to say that but why didn't he call his album Cuban Democracy then? That poor country is fucking close to his own country, a lot of Cubans have immigratin? to the u.s.a after all this fucking time so i do think Axl has a mysterious reason to speak 'bout that rare country which's too fucking far away from his Yankee land!  :hihi:?
Are you jealousy, Ven? Do you think he should care more about Venezuela?
LOL :haha:


when GNR played in Venezuela in 1992 he said: I wish I was a Venezuelan citizen cuz this country is full of petroleum so you already know that petroleum means : TOO MUCH MONEY FOREVER N' EVER FOR SURE!!!

...so Voodoochild can ya stop envyin' me then? ?::)

If you listen to the lyrics in CD though there are only like 2 references to China. I'm not saying Axl has no interest in Chinese culture or the politics but I always thought the title and song chinese democracy were just one big metaphor for the album itself.
The lyrics to the song definately seem to be more about the album CD than actual Democracy in China, when Axl sings 'It would take a lot more time than you, have got for masturbation', I always thought that was Axl's way of answering critics who always ask 'How long is this fucking album gonna take?'. Again when Axl sings 'It don't really matter, guess i'll keep this to myself/leave this thing to somebody else', I took that as 'Fuck you (To the haters) I don't have to release this album, I'll keep this shit to myself and leave making music to the other bands out now'. HAve I completely misinterpreted these lyrics or does anyone agree?

You hit the nail on the head, and so have several others whenever this topic becomes a thread. Chinese Democracy has nothing to do with China. The sooner that people realize that, the better.

Sitting in a Chinese stew...
I know that I'm a classic case
Watch my disenchanted face
Blame it on the Falun Gong ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falun_Gong
They see the hand and you can't hold on, now

Cause it would take a lot more hate than you
To stop the fascination
Even with an iron fist
All they've got to rule the nation
But all I got is precious time

(an oppressive government hates the subversive Falun Gong beliefs, and the Dalai Lama's potential influence over China's people. ?The government and army have the power of the iron fist, to rule the nation, and to even displace the revered Dalai Lama...but no iron fist rule lasts forever, and precious time is more valuable.)

It don't really matter
Guess I'll keep it to myself
No, it don't really matter
I guess you'll leave this thing to somebody else

(first line sarcastic, 2nd line "I'll shut the fuck up because who wants to hear about Tibet being illegally occupied, and its spiritual leader wrongfully exiled," 3rd line sarcastic again, and the 4th line, "Maybe somebody else will take care of this mess, let's just hide it and not think about it.")

 You think you've got it all locked up inside
And if you beat 'em enough they'll die
It's like a walk in a park from a cell
And now you're keeping you're own kind in hell
And if you're Great Wall rocks blame your self
While they all reach out for you hand/help?
And we're out of time...

(1st line, China feels it has everything secured, and 2nd line, "We can stamp this subversiveness out," 3rd line is awesome, "It's like a walk in a park from a cell," you think you're free but you're truly in jail, in this case China's citizens. ?4th line, you know? ?I have never heard a song that is "totally not about China" mentioning the Great Wall! ?"If the Great Wall rocks, blame yourself," is meant toward Red China as kind of a, "dude, eventually karma will bite you in the ass. ?When the system falls, and people recognize the wrongs the government was responsible for, what then?)

JamesLofton and co., I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, but surely you must find some merit to my surface interpretation? ?You can go deeper by comparing the struggles and frustration of the Chinese and the Tibetans with the struggles and frustration Axl and co. may be feeling or may have felt when writing this diddy. ? :peace:

Cool interpretation, but I think you're wrong. His use of Chinese Stew is a veiled reference at us and other forums. The Falun Gong thing is basically a veiled joke. Fans have blamed just about everyone for why this album hasn't been released. So since it is titled CD, we might as well 'blame it on the Falun Gong. The only reason you see mentions of China in the song is because it is in the album title. Take out the few Chinese references, your interpretation(and others) makes no sense and you would be commited to an insane asylum for believing it is about China.  : ok:

I've looked at this with an open mind. When I first heard about this song, I also figured it was about China. But when listening to it, it quickly becomes obvious that its not. According to your logic, not only is Madagascar about the island, Riyadh is also about Saudi Arabia, and IRS is about Axl being pissed about paying his taxes. You and several others here take everything literally. Is November Rain about Axl standing in the rain in November? Is 'Jungle' about being in a real jungle? This sort of logic gets you nowhere, and could go on forever. Its clear that its a metaphoric description about him, his album, and his jaded fanbase. : ok:

A veiled reference to the fans? ?James, I think I just linked 75% of the song to China, the struggles of the Tibetan people, and left it open at the end for everyone to apply the linkages to Axl and co.'s personal struggles and how they could identify with the theme of oppression. ?

I'd love to hear some feedback on my interpretation of CD. ?Seriously, is it crazier to think the song is about China rather than Axl using it as a platform to take pot-shots at what remaining fans he has left? ?I can just see it now, "Well, I just watched this cool movie about the Dalai Lama gettin' forced out of his homeland by the Chinese army, called Kundun...I think I'll write a song called Chinese Democracy...and in this song, I'll take pot-shots at those internet guys!" ?Seriously, do you think Axl is so shallow he'd concern himself with "album-delay" themes over more universal themes like injustice, suffering, fear, pain, frustration, indignation, etc.???

Someone else please chime in on this.

So that people like you and Axl4Prez will go looking for deeper meanings to the song, going over the lyrics with a fine toothcombe whilst missing what is right before your very eyes! Axl has written the lyrics so they can be taken in many ways but my belief is that they are about the album.

Also I don't think he's 'taking pot shots at the internet guys' alone. I think it's directed at everyone who lost faith in him, all the people who have made a joke at how long it's took Axl to do this, we know the media have said a lot of shit about him, and so have ex band members and so called fans. I think it's directed at all of them.

As you know, a paranoiac ego tripper tends to think everyone is talking about her or him. :hihi:

Axl4Prez2004, that's an educated interpretation and interesting, however, I don't agree that it's really about the country, lets alone GNR fans.

As D0badog mentioned, China is changing more than you'd imagine. I hear It's more like a capitalistic communist nation at the moment.

The song expresses the mental state of the oppressed. That may apply to any society with the relation of controlling power to the ruled, e.g., of parents to children. Changes are necessary to better the society but the oppressed are often in despair and apathetic.

The song ends leaving the fix as it is and sounds unfinished.
I expect to hear a piece that responds to this one.

As D0badog mentioned, China is changing more than you'd imagine. I hear It's more like a capitalistic communist nation at the moment.



  1st off Ppbebe, thanks for actually taking the time to read my interpretation.  8) 

  I think in time, when Axl actually opens up and discusses the meanings of the songs, you'll find he sensed a connection between himself and another group of people half-way around the world who have had to put up with some of the same shit he has.(obviously on a much smaller scale)    As I said before, to those who feel I am taking things too literally, the song is not ALL about China.  The story of Kundun obviously hit Axl in a very personal way.  He wrote a song and named an album after watching the movie Kundun...and you STILL think it has nothing to do with China??  He could identify with these peoples' struggles, because he's had to deal with the same problems in his life, and that's that.   

  2nd, Axlroseven makes a point...why the Chinese characters?  why the "repressed Chinese people" imagery in the 2002 Tour??

  3rd, I'm surprised nobody has brought up the fact that Axl's eyes as a child appear to be similar to those of a person with an East Asian background.  I figured with posts on Finck's hair, this would eventually come up.  :hihi:

-Axl4Prez2004  :beer:

PS  OOPs, I almost forgot, Ppbebe mentioned China is more like a capitalist communist nation at the moment.  Remember Ppbebe, all capitalism in China is tightly controlled by the state, and EVERYTHING, tv, radio, newspapers, textbooks, public speakers, is censored by the government.  Dissent is NOT tolerated.  The practice of falun gong is ILLEGAL and you are subject to imprisonment if found practicing or promoting this banned belief.  I'm surprised some folks think the Falun Gong were mentioned in this song for no good reason.  Especially with Axl's well-known belief in spirituality via his forrays into Arizona or New Mexico (I forgot which state yoda lives in) but anywhoo, you catch my drift??  There's a kinship between Axl and those who seek peace in their lives via spiritual outlets.  Whether consciously or subconsciously Axl picked up on this connection...and hence, the beginning of CHINESE DEMOCRACY!

When was that? I don't know if all the above are still the same. many things are Probably so.

I saw a TV documentary about the tremendous gap between the rich and the poor in today's China. There are upstart young  IT billionaires in the cities while the majority of people live frugal life. (BTW, do we really know who is happier, rich or poor.) and There is an urgent need for the state to promote a nation's welfare.

I guess one government ruling the 1.3 billions consist of 5 peoples is basically unreasonable.

China is changing by itself for sure. Chinese Democracy is inevitable. :peace:

Rose: Well, there's a lot of Chinese democracy movements, and it's something that there's a lot of talk about, and it's something that will be nice to see. It could also just be like an ironic statement. I don't know, I just like the sound of it.


Oh ok   :-\  , Axl was right to say that but why didn't he call his album Cuban Democracy then?

Ppbebe,
 ?I like your posts, but keep in mind, the comment on Axl's narrow eyes as a kid was a joke. ?Your quote of my post chopped that out. ?Just clarifying. ?;)

 ?Evolution had a good point. ?If China had nothing to do with the song/album, why not name it Cuban Democracy? ?I swear I read somewhere Axl was fascinated by the movie Kundun. ?It fits with the tone of alot of Axl's work. ?A peaceful Dalai Lama is forced out of his nation by the iron fist of a cold oppressive force, the Chinese Army. (out ta Get Me, Maddy, etc.) ?Axl likes his freedom. ?The Chinese government stripped the people of their freedom. ?If the title CHINESE DEMOCRACY was created before 1996-1997, I might humbly withdraw my interpretation of the song and ideas on the album.

 ?Ppbebe, did you see GNR live on the Chinese Democracy tour in 2002? ?Repeatedly, most notably during Madagascar and Chinese Democracy I believe, images of Red Chinese army brutality were flashed on the big screen behind the performers. ?These atrocities, along with those carried out by American police, National Guard, etc. in the southern United States during the 1960's race riots, were shown. ?(possibly some empty concentration camp shots as well?) ?Also, do you honestly think Axl has no connection whatsoever through the spiritual community to East Asia? ?I'll bet you $1000 Axl has gotten into meditation. ?Nobody's argued Axl's connection to what is considered in the U.S. to be "alternative" spirituality. ?I remember doing a search for Madagascar once and saw that there is a type of music called trance music with one of the big trance songs called Madagascar. ?Just a random thought/connection there.

 ? ?Also, wasn't the Tiananmen Square massacre more than 15 years ago? ?When the idea of governmental reform is approached, their government is not too happy. ?There was an excellent story on China's growing pains on 60 Minutes recently, it was most interesting. ?There is no free flow of information in China. ?There could never be an equivalent of Axl Rose in China. ?After his 1st or 2nd show, he'd be thrown in jail, and you'd never hear of or from him again.

 ?I'm shocked that nobody on this board sees what I see here. ?Maybe when Axl finally speaks about this album, I'll be vindicated. ?Will anyone here agree with me? ?I crave validation. ? :hihi:

In Vegas Axl talked about why he named the album Chinese Democracy. House of Blues, 2001. I have the audio somewhere. He said he watched the movie before coming to Vegas. CD has nothing to do with pro or con China, it relates to a feeling of oppression. He said something along the lines of ... " China is the most powerful government in the world, and also the most oppressive"... someone help me out here??

In Vegas Axl talked about why he named the album Chinese Democracy. House of Blues, 2001. I have the audio somewhere. He said he watched the movie before coming to Vegas. CD has nothing to do with pro or con China, it relates to a feeling of oppression. He said something along the lines of ... " China is the most powerful government in the world, and also the most oppressive"... someone help me out here??

THANK YOU!!! ?Yes, I've said this all the way through my posts already. ?However, when you call it "oppression" and not "control for the benefit of our comrades," it actually IS a statement more con than pro. ?Like I said, Axl isn't going to pull a Bono and lobby governments to recognize the true leader of Tibet, but he WILL reflect his understanding of pain, struggle, and oppression of the Tibetan people by the Chinese Army.

Also, I'd love to hear the exact quotes...I just know there are hardcore Gunners here who have this info.

Thanks, ?:beer:

Loder: You're going to call this album "Chinese Democracy." What is the meaning of that, since there is no Chinese democracy, of course?

Rose: Well, there's a lot of Chinese democracy movements, and it's something that there's a lot of talk about, and it's something that will be nice to see. It could also just be like an ironic statement. I don't know, I just like the sound of it.


Oh ok   :-\  , Axl was right to say that but why didn't he call his album Cuban Democracy then? That poor country is fucking close to his own country, a lot of Cubans have immigratin? to the u.s.a after all this fucking time so i do think Axl has a mysterious reason to speak 'bout that rare country which's too fucking far away from his Yankee land!  :hihi: 
Are you jealousy, Ven? Do you think he should care more about Venezuela?
LOL :haha:


when GNR played in Venezuela in 1992 he said: I wish I was a Venezuelan citizen cuz this country is full of petroleum so you already know that petroleum means : TOO MUCH MONEY FOREVER N' EVER FOR SURE!!!

...so Voodoochild can ya stop envyin' me then?  ::)


if axlroseven lived in the US he would be called a redneck, a hick, etc
I guess he's just a peasant? campesino

r ya a chinese guy? sorry but I?m not blame if your country doesn't have petroleum!, Axl might care 'bout ya the next time when he writes a song called : i love my poor fans like i love my poor ones!!!! ...maybe this track shall be included into another gnr's album called : poor countries have gnr fans too!!! ...that's why he named the new album Chinese Democracy!!!  :yes:


Sorry to burst your bubble but Venezuela is a thirld world country, and having petroleum doesnt make a country rich, it depends on the just distribution of its benefits. Something Chavez is doing fairly well, thank god not all people from Venezuela are as retarded as you.

Plz do thanks godiva.

mean while I write the contents of the speech here.

"This uh, this next song is um...something new. You know, right before I came here...when I left LA...and the movie Kundun was on about the Dali Lama. I kinda like the idea that we?re playing the House of Blues cause its kinda associated with that. That came about, I was at the House of Blues in Chicago and Vegas called and "Do you want to do a warm-up gig for Rio at the House of Blues?" "Sure." So...you know I was, I was getting ready to, to leave, you know the TV was on and it was the end of the movie, and the Dali Lama is about to cross over the border, to you know, be in exile for the rest of his life from his own country. And he looks back at uh, at the men who helped him, and you know he?s escaped the Chinese government. And he, and he looks back at them and he waves and they wave at him and then they show a scene where he looks back at them again and he sees everyone of them dead. Because he knew they would be killed, they knew that in helping him they would be killed. And uh, you know the emotion, in this next song its, that?s all that?s about it. It?s not like an intelligent song; it doesn?t have the answer to anything. But it?s the title track of the record, which...God knowingly we will finish! And its not necessarily pro or con about China, its just that right now China symbolizes one of the strongest, yet most the oppressive, countries and, governments in the word. And we are fortunate to live in a free country. And so in thinking about that it just kinda upset me, and we wrote this little song called "Chinese Democracy."

2)Why does Axl feel a special sentiment 'bout the Chinese culture these days when he didn't give a damn 'bout the Chinese people from the start?
3)Although Axl didn't say a word ?bout CHINA for a weird reason the guy?s been attracted by that culture a long long time ago?

?well folks you might have the right answer ?.so let us know then!!!! ? ;D

he was watching a documentary on PBS about the bathhouses they had there in the 1970s and he felt like wanted to cure the aids and since ashley judd already took over helping India and Bono took over helping africa, axl think maybe he needs to help china, plus too....I heard he really loves chicken chow mein !!!!

I like the way jameslofton tells us the sooner we realise the better.. as if his opinion is the right one without doubt.

Listen to the HOB explanation.. Axl even says that something along the lines of that there is no special meaning or intelligence to the song (something like that). Straight from the horses mouth.

i'm french, and all i can say is belgium is one of the best country to live.
