Title: W. Axl Christ

This is an ad by some Columbian radio station. Apparently it's a campaign they're running right now. There's a few others, pictures of rock stars as famous works of art. One really cool one is Marilyn Manson as the Mona Lisa. Anyway, maybe some of our Columbian friends can give us a little more insight. I'm not familiar with the radio station or what point they're trying to get across. Cool image nonetheless.

 Yeah! link please.

I wouldn't think that would go over very well in a Catholic country, but it is very cool.

You clarifying this for some and then putting "fuck me" in the same sentence amused me for some reason. :hihi:

I don't think the ads are supposed to mean anything in particular.  I found them on a bunch of blogs and advertising sites when I did a search and I think they are just print ads for the station.  They are pretty cool though!

That Cornell one is really cool, but doesn't ColOmbia have a marxist insurgency going on right now with the FARC rebels? or are they just coca farmers that western media has portrayed as rebels?

Well, I see some resemblances.
Jesus was crucufied by the romans and Axl has been crucufied by some of "the fans".
And as for Mona Manson...well, some say Mona Lisa is a man and some say it?s a woman , and sometimes when you see Marilyn Mansons?s face you don?t know whether it?s a man or a woman either... :hihi:

Yes I can, I read it while reading about the Holy Trinity, which is the belief of both Catholics and Protestants, that states that Jesus is God (and God the Father is God, but Jesus is no God the Father, and so on and so forth).


Anyways, on topic, the Axl one is fantastic.

Manson one... I don't care for Manson... but the painting is pretty good.

Cornell one... I suppose it fits... but it really doesn't impress me... maybe I expect more from one of my favorite singers....

Jesus was crucified by the Jews.  The Romans let the Jews, his own people, decide, and they shouted "crucify him, crucify!"  Just pointing out stuff. Nothing major.

Axl is facsinated with the Catholic faith as well.  He really loved the tradition and I think wanted to be one.  See the Nov. Rain video.  That is a Catholic wedding.

How so?

A wedding by people that are Protestant(s) isn't any different.

Either way, I really like the Axl picture.

As Christianity, in its various forms, is a worldwide religion, many cultures have adapted their view of Jesus to match cultural norms.  For example:

Black Jesus
(http://laughingjesus.50megs.com/blackjesus/blackjesus05.jpg)

Asian Virgin Mary with Baby Jesus
(http://www.religion-cults.com/art/virgin-japon.jpg)

So, even though white Jesus seems the most common depiction, it certainly isn't the only one.  Of course, I doubt he was a white guy, but focusing on his race seems, to me, to be missing the point (not pointing fingers...just a general observation).

Oh...and the Manson Mona Lisa is fantastic!  Axl Christ is good too.  Che Cornell?  Not so much.

The November Rain videoclip deserves to be meticulously analyzed regarding some catholic liturgy things. There are several ''heretical'' things; things that cant be done in the catholic wedding ritual or in a Church. The way the priest is dressed, the way Slash leaves the church, etc. Slash does the majority of them, but I suppose the biggest one is Axl's inverted crucifix.

I find the November Rain videoclip VERY interesting, and I wonder who is the responsible of including these ''things'' in the video. There's no way they were done unintentionally.
