How cool is this?


Reaffirming Axl's cultural dominance, he was the main attraction on Yahoo's entertainment page last night...No matter where in America you were this week, it was in fact, the jungle!!!

What's your favorite Guns moment?


It's been one hell of a week...Now that it's winding down we are glad everyone is beginning to see that not only is Dr Pepper's giveaway for real, but so is DP's appreciation for Axl. Having Axl and the fan's support has meant so much and we thank you. Personally, I'd like to thank you by sharing my most memorable Guns moment with you...hope you share yours too...


December 5, 2002....

An ugly tempest had moved in and the streets of New York City were tucked into a blanket of white snow. Knowing the band usually took the stage around 11, I didn't leave for Madison Square Garden until 9:45 (partially because I hate opening acts and partially because I live in midtown). I paid through the nose for a pair of second row tickets, but this was a moment I thought I'd never see again in my life...I spent most of the 90s accepting the fact that Axl was gone and may never resurface...all that was about to change. Anyway, I arrive at the Garden and it's 10:00pm sharp. Instead of hearing the crowd booing the opening act, the lights were off. Damn, show time and I'm not in my seat (as if I'd even use it). A red light was pulsing with some strange psycho-like music playing...Just as my ticket was ripped, I heard the first chord to jungle...I sprinted like a bat out of hell to my seat just as Axl reminded us all of where we were "Do you where the F$%@ you are?!?!?!"

For the next three hours every single person in that Garden was on their feet singing word for word. I was slapping high-fives with complete strangers and all of that NY snarky attitude that makes this city such a lonely place to live dissipated. No matter where we came from, what jobs we had, we were all just Guns N Roses fans, completely united by the voice of W. Axl Rose. And it was real...He was really up there singing songs about real love, real hate, real anger, real suffering, real redemption...The way Axl captures those emotions and wraps them in timeless melodies makes any time he has a mic in his hand magical. I would have waited an eternity for this moment and now it was here.

I was singing the outro to Patience with Axl "just trying to get it right"...And I'll never forget making eye contact with him during Madagascar. He saw I knew the words and just smiled. And when he was on top of the piano proclaiming "what this means to me is more than I know you believe" I knew one day the whole world appreciate and love The Blues. But like rain in November, nothing last forever. So when all was said and done, I went home and dreamt of Chinese Democracy, an album I knew I'd be listening to shortly :)

Rock on,


CK

Page Six Confirms





March 26, 2008 -- TIRED of a world in which Americans idolize wannabe singers, and where musicals about high school students pass as rock 'n' roll, Dr Pepper is begging Axl Rose to finally release this year his 17-years-in-the-making album, "Chinese Democracy." The soft drink company's incentive to Axl, the frontman of Guns N' Roses? If he ships the album in 2008, everyone in America - except estranged guitarists Slash and Buckethead - will receive a free can of Dr Pepper. "It took a little patience for us to perfect Dr Pepper's special mix of 23 ingredients, so we completely understand and empathize with Axl's question for the perfect album," said a company spokesperson. Dr Pepper is asking fans to lobby Axl to drop the album already.

Is this music's savior?


We are on the verge of economic collapse, the housing market is beyond repair and rock n' roll has been taken over by wannabe singers and musicals about high schoolers. Never before in the history of time has the world needed a savior as badly as we do now. That savior is Axl Rose.
.
To encourage Axl to save our world, we will satiate the thirst of every American if he delivers the album this year...Check out the official release here.

Do you believe in Axl? You better, better...

Let's just state the obvious....


Axl Rose is the greatest rock n roll frontman ever...Anyone that disagrees is just lame and should look in the mirror and say, "I am lame."
