Re: Feature: Guns N' Roses and the Unstoppable Axl Rose on Tour in 2011
To me, Axl has always represented something like the last man out of a burning building.
The UYI's were the last big hard rock albums to stand against the Seattle movement, with an equally ambitious tour.
November Rain is considered among the last big videos of the Golden Age of MTV, and it sitll gets mentioned in the annals.
To me, CD itself and its making process provide a fitting metaphor to the record industry itself, with its insane production time and lucrative budget a daydream to any artist since.
I say since, because even if Michael Jackson's Invicible (amusingly, recorded simultaneously with the bulk of CD in 97-01) reportedly cost Epic/Sony BMG a whopping $30M, it was released seven years earlier.
But Ax seems to be the last man out to wave the flag under which he and his peers have marched. In his way, he's a blast from the past, but at best, a damn fine one.
