Axl Rose = Mike Tyson of Music

[KeVoRkIaN]

I've got a better analogy

Axl=Jesus

Agree? Good. Argue? You're going to hell

Who is Slash? Doubting Thomas?

Just kidding. !

Nah, Slash is more like Judas.

why are some of you attacking Slash?It's getting really stupid,it's not even funny

After CD hits Slash will be Sodom then! - jessh - some people are so anal!

Axl = Synergy.  Mike Tyson = Don Flaminco.

Mike Tyson like Axl Rose both have the same apeal as a  car accident - You Can't Look Away

this is not a put down - love them both as entertainers, love that kind of entertainment

just the way it is !, and the world needs more of it nowadays

another term for it is "Public Enemy #1", someone always has to play the part, and they are usually my favorite media star

This comparison has already been made several times on this board and others... with varying degrees of success. You're right though.... there are SOME similarities. One thing I find different though is that I think Axl is still 100% obsessessed with his craft... the same cannot be said of Tyson for years now... and ultimately, because of that, I believe that Axl will see much greater success when he finally steps out again... Tyson is through.

I think Axl is obsessed to a degree.? Don't know about 100% since it has taken so long.? ?But Axl bowing out of the 2002 tour was like Tyson getting knocked out by that last bum.? I hope Axl doesn't bow out again from this tour.?

The old comparison used to be Michael Jackson I thought.? If this has been covered before, I am sorry.? I try not to due that.? I should have check the search key.

It doesn't seem to me that the end of the 2002 tour was of Axl's choice.  Kind of skews your argument.  Moreover, SmokingGuns, your statements reek of subtle propaganda bullshit.

if you read it, you would notice it say's nothing bad about Axl

[Smoking Guns]

Fock, I was wrong in my comparison.  Though they are both whack jobs, they are not that similar. I am way off base.  According to Minn(fock don't feel like spelling)apolis, I am full of prop o gan da.  Fock me.

The more I analyze Axl Rose, the more he has in common with Mike Tyson.? Both guys were brilliant at what they did, and captivated everyone.? Mike Tyson is still a huge pay per view draw, eventhough he sucks.? But we all watch cause we don't know what will happen next.? We hope we may get that glimpse of brilliance he once displayed.? They both came from the streets.? They both had a lot of anger.? The both were masters of their craft.? They are now both jokes of their industry.? Yet, we still love them both.? They both got really rich, and then something changed about them.? They both have polar personalities.? I just can't think of anyone else that has become parodies of themselves like Mike Tyson and Axl Rose have.? Well, I guess Jacko kind of did, but he came up a much different way.? Why is the board lit up over an Axl leak?? Why does Tyson still get a huge pay per view draw?? Cause they were once two of the most explosive, dangerous people on the planet.? Yet now they almost seem harmless.? When Tyson changed his trainer he went to shit.? Some could say when Axl lost Slash, he may be going to shit.? We don't fully know till he releases something.? So far, both have had shitty comebacks.? I hope Axl comes back.? I really do.? I was just amazed how much these two really do have in common when you thing about it.? It is so tragic.

I always use that analogy, as well as with MJ.. They are draws because of their past brillance with a hope that it'll shine through again and you nwant to be the one to see it... On the other hand they are both known for their bizarre behaviour so people also want to wintess the downfall as well...  people see MT, they say I'm tuning in to see what might happen next, bit an ear, maybe this time he will bight a nose off or punch the reff...

You can have a piece of brillance or the worst riot or catastrophe you have ever seen.. Either way you kind of win..
