Yes... Yes it does... 'cause you are...

There is literally (and I do mean literally) no semantic difference between saying "you are like a cancer, better off removed", "you are a cancer, better off removed" or "I consider you a cancer, better off removed". Everyone knows it's an analogy (no one seriously is saying that Axl thinks Slash is a malignant mass of faulty cells) and they are pissed at Axl for coming up with it.

You can't give away copyright, it is always intrinsically linked to the original author(s). You can license someone else to use/perform/resell/manage/make profit from your copyrighted material, but the author always retains performance and recording rights as well. I believe the way copyright registration is set up it always covers the whole song, it does not provide a way of assigning copyright to specific persons for specific parts or sections (so, for the AFD stuff for example, all then-members are authors of those entire songs).

So, there is nothing Axl can do to keep Slash (or Izzy, Duff, Bucket, Robin, Steven, ...) from performing or 'covering' songs that they have writing credits for.

Maybe you can argue that when you win you get to keep it, but Israel hasn't won yet so the fight goes on (or more precisely, the palestinians haven't given up yet). While this fight goes on, we look at the inhumanity of how the war is fought, and the way the Israelites are going about this is disgustingly inhumane. Just like we are going to condemn Putin's actions in Ukraine, just like we are going to condemn ISIS in Iraq, we are going to condemn the Israelites. Unless you really are saying that if Hitler had won the war no one would've been allowed to call him an asshole anymore?

We should never forget the horrors that the European settlers have exacted upon the American natives, but the truth of the matter is that neither of these territories are contested anymore. Palestine/Israel is.

Maybe, maybe not. But an eye for an eye is the lowest, most uncivilized form of justice I can think of. Also, in the 20th century other ethnic or religious groups have seen much larger populations being decimated by wars. You just need to look at Africa, where between 1900 and 1970 there have been more black people killed than than the entire Jewish population alive today. Sad as it might be, the holocaust isn't even the largest genocide of the century.

Yes, they do have the right to defend themselves, but as you rightfully say killing innocent civilians is not ok. As long as Israel keeps doing that, they will be condemned for it by the international community.

Difficult to answer, but it should at least be after the other side has given up...

This is a sticking point to me, nothing in history tells me that the Jews have an inherent right to their own nation (just like the Christians, the Muslims, the Scientologists or any other religious group have no inherent right to their own nation). When people start realizing that everyone has the freedom of religion (or irreligion), regardless of where they are born; when they stop killing each other in the name of some god or holy book; when they stop forcing others to abide by their god's arbitrary set of rules, then and only then peace can happen.

And don't get me wrong, if there was someone here claiming the Palestinians were free of blame I would've ripped their argument apart as well. As Cramer says, both sides fail equally as human beings.

Never mind... Was already posted...

It's a great track, and a good showcase for the dirty groovy swagger most of the songs on the record have. Although it might not be the best of the lot overall, everything that makes the album great can be found in that song. But Beggars does the same and does it better, so that's why I think "Good to be Alive" gets mentioned a little bit less.
