Title: Did Axl popularize Charles Manson shirts in the early 90s?

I remember in the early 90s you'd see the "Charlie Don't Surf" and other Manson shirts at boardwalks and the like. Did Axl make them popular, or where they a fad at the time that Axl embraced?

They were around, but I guess Axl gave them a little more press at the time.

Between wearing the shirts and covering "Look at Your Game Girl" on The Spaghetti Incident, I'd say he did a fair amount to popularize Manson in general, merchandise included...

Charles Manson has been popular for long before Axl wore the Tshirt.  Do you think that they made that shirt esp for him? no He bought it just like everyone else did....

Axl did help popularise C. Manson stuff.


Look at Fred Durst and the red cap he wears, they've been around for along time but there sales deffiantly went up when Fred Durst was noted for wearing one.

and how many people knew he sang that song?? Only went platinum TSI.. I don't think he hurt sales by wearing it.. What he did do is fuck up gnr being on a beavis and butthead t shirt.. GUNS were supposed to be on either beavis or butthead's t shirt but the wearing of the manson shirt caused them to pass over gnr..

Manson's name and image have been integrated into American pop culture generally as a symbol of ultimate evil. Never did never will expect reply... HITLER didnt kill himself either.

It was already quite popular, but Axl did push this popularity up a bit.

He took an indirect role in several brutal murders, most notably that of movie actress Sharon Tate (wife of movie director Roman Polanski), who was eight months pregnant at the time. He was convicted of murder in what came to be known as the "Tate-La Bianca case", named after the victims, although he was not accused of committing the murders in person.
He ordered someone else or did it himself is the same, he is still a murderer.

No hes not... Susan Atkins, Tex Watson, Pat Krenwinkel and the other girl are murderers.. If i tell u to jump off a building would you do it? If Charlie tells you to go kill some piggies you dont have to do it either... they were all high on meth and pot and acid that night so none of em were in thier right minds anyways.  Charlie may be loco and crazy but he didnt murder them that nite. Alot more grusome murders and crimes have happened since 1969 and still everyone like you said in pop culture thinks of him as all thats evil and satan himself... thats why i said "wrongfully" I personally would like to see the girls get some kind of a supervised parole. They have paid for what they did. Alot of other people have gotten paroled for doing alot more than they did.

I wouldnt put it past Charles to have killed someone. He was fond of playing with switch-blades and making comments about killing your family, and always had a loaded pistol closeby. Most not drugged out people were scared to death to be around him for very long because he would constantly try to intimidate the person he was talking with.

Unless you bought his philosphy of him being a god he didnt like you.
