fact is Axlin the Defenders of the Rose just can't get it through their thick skulls that those of us who think Axl's a douche think so because he's doing fuck all with everything. No new album, no reunion, no respect shown to the fans, still with same old poor poor pitiful me routine, still blaming the world. Yet his disciples will continue to find grace in all that he does. ALL THAT HE DOES. It's a joke and to be honest I'm more disguted with some of the fan's sheep like mentality than I am with Axl.

And for those who continueally defend this guy ask yourself this. Why did Axl Rose get booed at his own induction ceremony? Why do fans continueally rip into this guy? Why do fans think he's such a douche? Ya ever think it's because he just might be? No it's beacuse all his fanboys thik it's only hardcore reunionists. Anyone booing Axl could not possibly be a fan of the new band. No not at all.  Or maybe it's because the guy is a  fucking dick and he's wasted his career post Illusions and everyone from the fans to members of the band and Axl himself have  lost out. Yet some of you either lack the ability to comprehend this or you simply refuse to because Axl's your boy and everyone else who acts otherwise isn't even a fan. Fan to some of you = constant glorification.

Oh and for those pointing to Rolling Stone and Howard Stern and Trunk as examples of people being supportive of Axl.... well no  shit  they want an interview and to openly dis the guy means never getting an interview. Not rocket science.

I thought i was the only one who thought this
