LOLOLOLOL

I Don't know why i have such a thing against Religion, but i just do, i find it the biggest load of bollocks Ever.
But Believe What you want to.


That's cause Axl is your god.


And each time I read a "powerup" thread it always reminds me of Megaman Battle Network 2. powerup.

this proves axl's lyrics are subjective, you may never know what the words mean to him but you know what they mean to you.. to me these words mean axl is mentally standing outside of a situation he was once inside of, and has decided that sometimes those who look like winners to others and themselves are infact the real loosers.. 


and what kind of god leads a chilld into traffic? one worth praising? or one worth despising?

IMO it means that you traded your soul for riches & fortune but you couldn't handle it & it destroyed you & now you have nothing. You failed. Devil hate losers & don't give them a second chance. 
But IMO God gives one. You just have to believe in the new beginning & go to the light.. They are both real as you & me.



Now this guy knows what he is talking about  :smoking:

I have another question concerning "TWAT", I'd like to know what do YOU think:
Which time is he talking about, when he sings "there was a time"? Old times in a relationship? Old Gn'R?

I think it's about old times in a relationship, namely the beginning when the love was all that mattered and the main character still was too blind to see what a person she really was.
At first I didn't think it could have to do anything with the old band. But then again, in several "new" songs (cough)hidden messages about the old band can be read (OMG, SOD, Madagascar, pherhaps even Better and Sorry, allthough about the last one Axl denied the relationship to anyone he knows) and I suppose TWAT isn't really an exeption. The repeating "there was a time" might refer to the golden years of the band. I don't think it means Axl misses the others though, I guess it would be more about the memory of being aknowleged as one of the greatest bands and also feeling that. I don't say it's like that, I jsut see some aspects that could point in that direction.

If an album comes out, then buy it. If there's a concert you can go to, then go to it. You're not owed another record. You're not owed any inside stories. You're not owed the band to be managed by people you approve. It's just electronically recorded vibrations that you happen to like.

Sounds a bit ironic somehow, but I'll take it as a compliment  :lol:.
