Yup.

2020 gets weirder: Axl Rose and Steve Mnuchin get into a Twitter slap-fight.

And I have to hate Steve Mnuchin for making me write these words: Axl Rose seems to be on the side of caution and reasonable decision making.

Well, at least he can recognize the American flag.

Rose is on record as being bi-polar and having suffered unfathomable trauma as an infant.

That is no excuse for being a physical abuser himself but certainly part of the cycle.

Seems like the guy is holding it together a lot better than in his glory days. It's a positive when anyone in the public eye with mental health issues is honest about seeking treatment.

The fat Axl issue was weird though.

He certainly is healthier than Vince Neil who looks like he's going to explode out of his skin. You can look at him and think he wouldn't survive their next tour. Who the fuck wants to see them anyway?

“There is a 100% chance America would be better off with Axl Rose as Secretary of the Treasury, Slash as Secretary of State and Duff McKagan as Secretary of Commerce instead of Steve Mnuchin, Mike Pompeo and Wilbur Ross,” tweeted Brandon Friedman, who served as deputy assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Housing and Urban Development during the Obama administration.

This was fun.
I’m not sure Pompeo, Mnuchin and Ross would make a good rock band though.

I believe someone who was designated to tell Vince Neil when to stop acting as a glam rocker has forgotten to do so, then it just went downhill from there.
Something good that could come out of this virus thing is some dinosaurs stopping their money-grab tours. I’m an optimist.

I didn’t realize that when Neil killed Razzle from Hanoi Rocks the two people in the car he hit suffered brain damage, but survived.

He’s had two DUI’s in Vegas since. One his lawyers talked down to unsafe driving. The other he plead guilty to.

You would think, having killed your friend and maimed two others you’d call a fucking cab (then) or hire a driver.

He beat up a hooker at the Bunny Ranch because, I believe I’d read, even with the promise of payment... she was not that into him (and his girlfriend?) Boo hoo.

Everyone has seen the video where he beats on the female fan wanting a picture or autograph or whatever and Mr. Sobriety Nicholas Cage holds him back from continuing the assault.

Nobody cares how drunk and fucked up they are, just don’t continue to use cars as weapons or slam women to the ground. It’s not as if Vegas casinos don’t have security at the ready to solve Mr. Special’s dilemma with public female attention. Granted, you’d have to be quite a bit off to seek him out, date him, look at him, not run from him. Cage is definitely his wingman.




Neil got 15 days total in jail for killing Razzle.
Recently had to be sued and forced to pay his own lawyers.

Real charmer.

I suppose Ted Nugent could cover for them in studio, but the live shows would be a disaster.

Neither did Axl Rose, Slash and Duff McKagan.

No need. I already won.

Uh. Yeah. Wrong.

Saw them as one of the early openers at Donington Festival, it's the b&w footage in the Paradise City video. It was a moment in time.

Watching blowhard Axl fall off the stage while opening for the Stones at the Coliseum was interesting.

Swat teams in the parking lot at their shows was lame, them coming on around 11 PM when taking a younger sibling to see Soundgarden open for them and telling the kid we weren't staying till 1 AM for G'n'R sucked, showing up to find out LA Guns replaced them because one of them OD'd was balls.

But, for a certain moment in time they were the best rock band in the world.

Then came Use Your Illusion 1&2, Fat Axl and Chinese Democracy.

I wouldn't go see them for free now.

Buckethead is cool though. What a freak. Good for him. I was reading Ozzy Osbourne's take on Mr. Buckethead and he said he was a great guitarist but too weird with the gimmicks. The guy must be on the spectrum or has a sensory thing. I like him. Never heard a note, but the get up makes me laugh.

No wait, you're right. Without Izzy they were nothing.

Alright, fine, you guys caught me out. I hated them in high school mainly because of how popular they were and honestly can't say I've ever heard a song by them. At all. Not one. (I dunno. Maybe if you start mentioning them something will trigger a memory, but I'm not real confident that would happen).

All I know of them at all is that Axl Rose has always seemed like an ass, and Slash has always seemed like the kind of guy that would hang out with an Axl Rose. Beyond that - I got nothing.

Slash's Mom fucked David Bowie and made some of his costumes. He comes from real R&R stock.

Bill Bailey on the other hand....

There's a story about Axl Rose where Bowie, Slash's mom, etc. are at a G'n'R video shoot where Axl's girlfriend/wife is in bondage gear. Bowie was drunk and coming on to the lady. Supposedly Axl chased Bowie down the street yelling "I'm gonna kill you Tin Man."

I find that hysterical.

Anyways...

Trump's valet, Pence's press secretary and Ivanka's PA have all tested positive for Covid-19. May they get better and sort themselves out. I can just imagine the compassion they will receive from asshole Trump.
