I know Lana Del Rey is a Guns N' Roses fan. Look, we all used to be Guns N' Roses fans just like we all used to be Stone Temple Pilots fans. We are still fans of the way the music used to be. Lana Del Rey is living in the past but hooking up with the present and that is a scary thing. She has been a groupie for the past few months trying to see the band play wherever she can and practically throwing herself at Axl Rose when she got the chance. All that work paid off. That and I think it has been so long since Axl met anyone who actually has sold records that he wanted to relive his youth. The pair have hooked up and I for one do not see the attraction on her part. If you want faded star and old at least go for someone who does not think he is still 21 and a prick. Can you say that on Easter?
last week,she dated Marilyn Manson .Unless now they can talk together about bad plastic surgeon
ReplyDeleteEnty, I was never an STP fan, but I'll admit to G&R love. Appetite was awesome, and so was Lies (am I the only one who liked that one?).
ReplyDeleteStill hoping for a LDR ban.
Random note: a friend of mine shot part of an STP video 'cuz he was the only guy willing to get his camera wet.

DeleteEnty- I dont know whether or not words like "prick" are accepted by those who celebrate Easter as a religious holiday BUT in my opinion the amazing spot on snark delivered in this post is acceptable year-round ;->
ReplyDeleteLiterally EVERYTHING that can be said was said by you in this post- love when that happens.
And count me in on the G & R's love from back in the day- as an 80's kid my mom was awesome enough to raise me on the great music taking place at that time. Sweet Child O'Mine is STILL one of our favorite songs!
But yeah, hoooking up with Axl just cause he sang it? Ewwwww
Agreed! I recall how epic he was at the height of his fame, but now it's just sad.
DeleteSure, why not. Axl is a sad version of what he once was, except for the ego. That, I think is still the as big as ever. Don't know who this chick is, but she must be cray-cray.
ReplyDeleteI thought Axl was gross twenty-some years ago, and I think he's even more so now.
ReplyDeleteAppetite is one of the best albums wee. It still holds up today. I like the use your illusions too.
ReplyDeleteFact: Nikki sixx was gonna produce appetite but was til strung out on heroin at the time
Pretty, but utterly talentless girl.
ReplyDeleteHowever, full marks to her publicity team. They've done a great job of ramming this girl's manufactured image down everyone's throats for the past 3 months.
I wonder what the price for her fame was?
Perhaps your definition of a has been is different than mine, but in my opinion, a has been is not someone that walked away from music business for 15+ years, but instead is someone who continued to make music but noone was interested. Axl dissappeared from the spotlight when GNR were THE BIGGEST band in the world, and in those 15+ years he only did 2-4 interviews, didn't make any videos, didn't do shit. And in those 15 years there were gazillion articles written about him, in fact even Jon bon jovi complained that this ass gets all the press even though he didn't publish any new music in 15 years. So how is he a has been? Know of any recent star that could disappear for 15 years and still be as much talked about as Axl (granted, the whole Axl Rose histeria was at its peak from 1999 till 2005, not as much now)? In future please both of your brain cells in parallel. Had Bono done in 1995 what Axl has done, he wouldn't get 10 percent of the media coverage Axl got during that period, so please, recharge them two brain cells and try using them both at once. Name me one musician that could aford to go away for so long and still be the biggest star in the world
ReplyDeleteI agree, on all points related to Axl, that is.. I dislike the term 'has-been'. At least you WERE at some point. It's odd that Axle gets called a 'has-been' by people who haven't experienced an ounce of his past glory.
DeleteLana Del Rey can do whatever she wants with whomever she wants as long as it does not include assaulting my ear drums with her vapid off key noise.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Love it
Deletethis looks more like a father taking his daughter out to dinner.
ReplyDeleteAt least he got rid of the fake corn rolls.
Cornrows but I get what you're saying. My friend was supposed to go on his tour last year but after the second delay said f* it. He knew it would have been a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteAnd LDR is so no talent. Why is she getting so much press? I don't get it.
I like old GnR music, but I have read way too many nasty things about Axl Rose and his treatment of women and people in general to be a fan or to think that any woman should date him.
ReplyDeleteLana Del Rey kind of looks like Phoebe Price to me. That is all I really know or can say about her.
everytime i see or hear her name i start to think of that stupid song 'video games' and how she tries to project some sort of sad, tragic, old-school hollywood vibe, its quite contrived...she used to be known as something else. they totally 'revamped' her image to what they think could sell fortunately nobody gripped at it, and the whole 'indie-hipster' scene is fading...like guns n roses i suppose. but i guess its hip to be square...
ReplyDeleteha! i dont even know what i just said!??!!
ReplyDeletesqlsurfing...GNR fan much?
ReplyDeleteI'm still an unashamed STP fan. GIMME GUITARS over this computerized shit any ol' day.
That being said, wait till Axl asks this girl to take a **** in the cat box and she'll be gone, just like her predecessors.
What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is a fame whore. Maybe she'll get some sense knocked into her when he beats her ass and throws her down the stairs like he did his other girlfriends.
ReplyDeleteGross.
ReplyDelete@Em - Your new photo is HOT.
I still love listening to STP!
ReplyDeleteI heart LDR. But it looks like she fancies really ugly dudes. Smh
ReplyDeleteIsn't it publicised he is hung like a mouse? I guess she is not bothered by the small things in life.
ReplyDeleteThis girl annoys the hell out of me. She looks smug..
ReplyDelete@DelRiser...i'm pretty sure I love you now because of that comment!!!!
ReplyDeleteI do get that Lana and her image are manufactured.
ReplyDeleteWhat I don't get is what they're trying to accomplish by her boning Marilyn Manson and Axle Rose. Street cred?
Idk, she LOVES using that "gangsta Nancy Sinatra" bs hashtag on herself. Maybe this is the gangsta.
I guess a donkey punch from Marilyn and an eightball from Axle could do that for her.
@Chrissy Buns, why thank you, thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteI've said it before she looks to me like a wannabe Florence, who also drives me nuts with her "I am an Erte statue" crap.
And I love Erte!
What cracks me up is comments such as
ReplyDelete"I still listen to this today." If it was good then, chances are it's still good today, and I didn't realize that music has a shelf-life or expiration date. I know Led Zep was a long time ago, but talent is talent and some music is not disposable, as it were. The passage of time has not diminished the force of "Mr. Brownstone" or Paradise City" or the haunting "November Rain."
When I get new neighbors, the first thing I tell 'em is "Do you know where you are? You're in the jungle, baby."
As for Ms. LDR: go away. You have no discernable talent, and despite reports to the contrary, life is not just like American Idol.
ReplyDeleteHe is repulsive in general, but I have to say he looks better here in this picture than he has in many years.
ReplyDeletePretty much agree with everyone BUT in LDR's defense, she was only pictured talking to Marilyn Manson at an event, we really don't know that she slept with him *shudder*
ReplyDelete@Brenda: wait till Axl asks this girl to take a **** in the cat box and she'll be gone, just like her predecessors.
ReplyDeleteHoping you are not speaking from 1st person dating experience here...
BTW, the photo says a lot: he looks really eff'd up, and she looks like she is enduring this photo op for publicity. I'm sure this is staged for some bucks (for him) and publicity (for her), and is nothing else. Not getting a love vibe like I did with the very gross and inexplicable Marilyn Manson/Evan Rachel Wood coupling.
ReplyDeleteIf I became famous, I'd probably go back and do my teen crush, just to please my 14 year old self. So I can't blame her (if she really did it).
ReplyDeleteI believe in the Webster's definition of "has-been" it actually says "gets in fistfight with Tommy Hilfiger". So in that case, Axl is spot on.
ReplyDelete@Moonmaid...no that's something he made Stephanie Seymour do.
ReplyDelete@brendalove, you took the words right out of my mouth. So, is it her or her publicists that are clueless?
ReplyDelete@DelRiser...we must have been divided at birth. I thought I was the only one who wanted to smack Florence! lol!
