Title: "I get up around seven, Get outta bed around nine"
Post by: RnT on November 17, 2013, 01:03:40 PM
Did Axl make fun of the song "Working Man" by Rush in this part?

Rush:
" I get up at seven, yeah,
And I go to work at nine.
I got no time for livin',
Yes, I'm workin' all the time."

GNR:
"I get up around seven
Get outta bed around nine
And I don't worry about nothin' no
Because worryin' is a waste of my... time"

Good spot and maybe so, it seems to be more likely than not that Axl was referring to that song in Mr. Brownstone.  :hihi:

What a brilliant find.

It is like a response from Guns' late 80s LA scene to Rush's philosophical prog rock scene. Surely worthy of an essay

I am sure that it is pure coincidence.

Definitely interesting, would love to pick the brain of Axl on this one for sure, might be quite fun!

Didnt Izzy write Mr Brownstone though. So might be better asking him haha - Im sure I read somewhere he wrote the music and lyrics on this one? Could be wrong though!

My point being,  AFD credits all members as songwriters, I don't think if there was something somehow to this as a perhaps joke etc, or whatever that somehow Axl or any of the members would be left out of the joke. I'm sure anyone of the embers could answer on this.
