Title: Was It Axl & Tracii Guns Who Came Up With The Name GUNS N' ROSES ? Post by: ColdNovemberRain on June 14, 2006, 06:03:04 AM Was it just those two themselves who came up with the name ? If it was then why are Slash,Duff & Matt so pissed about Axl still calling the band Guns N' Roses if it was Axl who co-invented the name.I can understand why their pissed about being forced out of the band but why do they have a problem with a name they didn't even invent.If this is the case then Axl has every right to call the band Guns N' Roses.?

Post by: TheMole on June 14, 2006, 06:10:01 AM It's not about who invented the name (who in their right minds would care about that?), it's what the name stands for. They had a very succesful, defining period in their lives under that name and I can imagine it's hard for someone to take that name and change what it once stood for.

Like it, hate it or love it, this is the way things are. Title: Re: Was It Axl & Tracii Guns Who Came Up With The Name GUNS N' ROSES ?

The name if you think of it would be properly spelled: Guns' and Rose's which means simply Tracii's and Axl's band.But the fact who 'invented' the name doesn't mean anything.

The guy stays out of the headlines and media in general for fuck knows how long and yet, when he comes out of his shell he's still this huge success, and everybody is talking about him. Plus the shows are selling out very quickly. Title: Re: Was It Axl & Tracii Guns Who Came Up With The Name GUNS N' ROSES ?

I think you're overstating it a little bit, but yeah... it's the name that's selling the tickets more than anything else at the moment Title: Re: Was It Axl & Tracii Guns Who Came Up With The Name GUNS N' ROSES ?
