Axl and Andrew Dice Clay

[themovieaddict.com]

Were they friends?



Clay was a controversial comedian back in the day. He was a sexist racist on-stage (it was a "character" or so he claimed) and was famous mostly for his crude nursery rhymes. He was basically a flavor of the month and faded into obscurity towards the mid-'90s. People today often look back and claim he was one of the worst comedians ever - I think it was Carlin who said he never told actual jokes - but if you have an immature sense of humor he's kind of funny.

I noticed in his (only) starring film, THE ADVENTURES OF FORD FAIRLANE (directed by Renny Harlin), a girl runs up to him at a party (in the movie) and mentions how she just got back from a "Guns N' Roses video wrap party."

After seeing this photo I was wondering if they were friends or if it was just kind of a passing thing?

Andrew Dice Clayu was and still is hilarious...he's SOOOO funny....one of the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so much so, that axl rose im sure loved him as well....he was tough to listen to if u were a nun or something, but otherwise, Dice was hysterical and im sure Axl recognized that talent...

dont let ANYONE tell u differently, Dice is one of the best ever, VERY FUNNY!! I can see Axl laughing hysterically at this guy, it would make sense.  and Ford Fairlane was stupid, but again, hysterical...and yes, i've heard Dice metnion Guns n Roses before.

Dice opened at the Rose Bowl on the GNR/Metallica tour but I don't think Axl was friends with him.

Howard Stern interviews Dice in 1990 and Dice said he hangs with Axl...........Dice is absolutely brilliant..Nobody considers him the worst comic unless they are morons

Funny. When I saw The Metallica GNR show at the Rose bowl. Andrew Dice Clay was actually one of the opening acts. Was really funny too. He came on after Metallica, did his act, and introduced GNR. I can't remember what he said exactly anymore. Something like "And now, for you Rock N Roll motherfuckers. The Baddest motherfuckers.. Guns N Fucking Roses! Oh!"

Oh holtzmn73 beat me to it. Eh anyway...

A lot of respected comedians hated him in his heyday and continue to hate him.

His comedy relied upon racial stereotypes, extreme sexism, and targeting women in the audience and talking about how big their hooters were. Then he came up with jokes like "Hicky dickory dock the girl sucked on my cock."

I own all his albums and think he's funny as far as immature humor goes, but he wasn't a brilliant comedian by any means.

It's not brilliant when you go on a live, national show and start cursing and throwing a fuss for no reason. He looked like an asshole. The guy asked him if he had run a gym a few years ago and Dice completely over-reacted. It was part of his "character" - he was on a TV sitcom for a year where he played a normal, loving father and he was completely different then.

yeagh, his name for the sitcom show was Andrew Clay lol he tried to become a real actor.

still, he has some of the funniest material in the history of comedy.

Hickory, dickory, dock, this chick was sucking my cock, the clock struck 2, I dropped my goo and kicked the bitch out at the next block...

[no more patience]

dice is unoriginal and boring...disgrace to comedy...not even funny...u guys are real low if u think his act is funny...it ain't...he just picks on people in a very offensive way...not even creative

My favorite part in that whole exchange is when the CNN guy is just sitting there looking destroyed at the very end of the thing. He's DYING for them to fade to commerical and Dice has already stormed off long ago.

Right before they finally fade out you hear Dice from like 50 feet away yell "ASSHOLE GUY". It kills me every single time I see it.

I just saw Dice at the Improv in Hollywood, FL. Still funny. Yes he can be crude, but I love his shows where  he just improvs on the spot and messes with the crowd. Anyone can create a routine and spit it out night after night. I prefer someone who can think on their feet and still be funny.

[W 23 AXL II]

yeah, that CNN bit was hilarious...."asshole guy" LOLOL u hear him in the studio, but like far away, and the host is just like sitting there....real funny!

That was a great one. That was where I really started to appreciate him beyond the Mother Goose ryhmes.

I was disappointed that I sat right infront of him at the Improv and didnt get fucked with once. I was hoping to have a bit of a back and forth with him

[Yesterday]

Funny, crude, obnoxious.  Back in the day could sell out MSG.  He is still in Vegas last time I was there and makes 7 figures a year.   Not bad for a comedian who kinda lost his audience by the mid 90's. 

[pilferk]

Chalk me up as one of the Dice fans.

I don't THINK (at least, I've never heard) that Dice and Axl were friends.

Oh, and I love "The Day the Laughter Died", but, as good as it is, I still gravitate back to "The Dice Man Come-eth".

If you want to talk about andrew dice whateverhisnameis use THE JUNGLE.
