Great Moments in Axl History #19



#19: Ain't That Fresh?

With all this Presidential Election talk, I almost forgot to post today's Great Moments in Axl History clip. How silly of me! I must remember to keep everything in perspective after all, you know? I mean Presidential elections happen every four years, but new music from our (real) leader can take up to fifteen!

Think about it, the last time we got a new GNR album, Bill Clinton was in office! Well a lot sure has gone down since then and I'm not just talking about Monica Lewinsky!

So in keeping with today's theme, here's GNR's most political song, "Civil War." Axl even dresses in both army camouflage and an American Flag jacket (2:35) !






Wow that was actually some pretty prophetic shit :

Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more


So no matter which candidate wins, lets just hope they have the good sense to listen to the words of W. Axl Rose: "What's so civil about war anyway?" Word.


THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT MOMENT IN AXL HISTORY
