Who do YOU relate to?

[Gunna_girl01]

which GNR member that is currently in the band or has been in the band, do you relate to and why?

[August 18th]

i relate to axl because i feel he's got about the same mind-set i've got and we have alot in common so i've always looked up to him, in more than one way. that's why i like to relate and compare my life to his.

[Izzy]

I'm surprised more people haven't put Dizzy as they all display his amazing ability of talking a lot and saying very little thats worth hearing

ps. another great thread

I tap into Axl and Izzy for mutually exclusive reasons.

Axl understand's loneliness, and solitude. He studied it. He lived it. He also has a very keen self-concept. He knows what he's about and isn't afraid to convey that in his lyrics. He knows who and what he is about and knows that he should be not idolized or hailed for the things that he does. He's a just a very worldly Acquarian, who's very self-knowledgable, who is willing to share his tears, demons, and frustrations with the world. In other words, he's the definition of an artist.

The stream-of-consciousness denoument that closes out "Coma" is probably the single greatest personification of what goes through one's head when you're home alone in your dark house at 4 AM, when you feel the loneliness really kick in. Axl understood it and unleashed it with an amazing eye for lyrical precision. Pretty ballsy considering most Gn'R fans back then were just waiting for "Paradise City" Part II.

Izzy, on the other hand, comes across as an old soul, a down-home, what-me-worry, everyday everyman. Don't sweat the small shit, get yourself a nice girl, be patient with her, and tie her up if she wants you to. Very folksy (not to mention bluesy). If Izzy is considered Gn'R best songwriter (which I think holds merit), it's most likely because he has an ear for deceptive simplicity. It's all in the handling. Probably why it was such a pain to get him to record his songs.

Back to the subject at hand, I feel both men, as polar opposites, tap into different parts of my psyche with great effectiveness. Axl takes me down deep, to the parts of my unconscious that I try to ignore, while Izzy lays back and says, "Fuck it. I'm still above ground."

Just my two cents.

RESPEKT

This place has absolutely 100% gone stir crazy from the wait. I have never seen so much psycho babble in all my life.? ps Coma is hands down Axl's lyrical masterpiece.

[nesquick]

Axl, for my behaviour sometimes.
Richard and tommy, for my friendly and cool side.
Izzy, because sometimes I can be very shy and quiet.

But in fact I don't "relate" to anybody. That's just comun caracteristics that's it.

[Clarepants]

I would like to think I relate to Slash more than Izzy, but I think I'm really an Izzy kinda guy because they're both shy.
Anyways being shy is no good and looking at celebrities who are shy doesn't help kick the habit.

[fesxine]

axl because i have a similar perosnality and i am also a perfectionist and dont like being rushed or told.

[ppbebe]

a bit to everyone in the current band. I relate to the band.

I have never seen so much psycho babble in all my life.

I dunno. I may post it here. If not I'm sure someone will copy and paste it here. I wanna post it at my bucket forum 1st , because afterall it was done for the bucket community and is made up of mostly Buckethead questions .. but theres a couple GNR mentions in there , so ...

Thing is proboards.com is down , or atleast I cant log in so I cant get it posted! 

Theres about 20 questions in all. Brain , as always , is in tip top form with his answers , talking about the porn industry , buckets of money , soloing on graves and his concern that Buckets parts may not be on the album , oh and Rocco Siffredi
.    The man is hilarious.
