where guns n roses got their name

[the_shadow_rose]

i always thought guns n roses was just a clever oxymoron, u no. apparently not tho. the 'roses' is from axl rose, ah cors, the infamous vocalist...and the 'guns' is from the former guitarist, tracii guns (yeah, manly name indeed). so THATs where the guns n roses name came from. and even after slash traded places with tracii guns, i guess the name was so cool that it stuck... :thumb:
oh well. i thought it was...an INTERESTING fact...
they're my favourite band, u know.

[clearvision]

Haha.

I didn't think there was any funny stuff left in R+M, you proved me wrong Riva :-*

[Lupus]

[Jom]

Holy crap, I'm so glad that this got stickied, because I didn't know where Guns N' Roses got their name at all. Seriously.

[Dragon_Prince]

That's great to hear, you learn something new every day. :thumb:

[Distorted Vision]

So this is the state of humour on MX now? Hmm.

[ThePatient]

Greatest R&M thread ever I'd say.

[darrell]

I can't believe that some of you guys never knew where Guns N' Roses got there name from. This disappoints me.

*goes back to the bass forum*

[Jom]

Man, jokes on the Internets are hard to come by these days.

[Scoot]

Why the hell is this stickied?

*goes back to the bass forum*
Yeah I used to be a GN'R whore.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I heard that the band were originally just an assembly of Colt .44s and red roses.

[Scuba_Steve]

guess what?

Axl Rose is an anagram for Oral Sex

[MBS]

You guys are such assholes. :lol:

Poor kid probably never knew what hit him.

[Dave de Sylvia]

How would Guns N' Roses qualify as an oxymoron at all, let alone a clever one?

[GenuineImitation]

Thats what I was thinking.

To threadstarter: My username is a good example of an oxymoron.

[MBS]

Maybe because guns represent war and rose a symbol of peace? Either way, it's a rather foolish oxymoron.

[Eleventeen]

rofl, this is amazing... hahahah wow now I learned something new...

[TojesDolan]

I was blind a minute ago, but now I see.

The most interesting first post/fastest sticky ever.

I see someone watched VH1 Behind the Music.

[halfdeadhippo]

Tracii Guns sounds like it should be the name of a pornstar.

[CarrionBirds]

nah the name is actually from two bands the members were in

hollywood rose and LA guns

[Mein bass]

I knew that.
I also watched the guns'n'roses behind the Music special.
That crazy Slash I swear.
*didn't learn something new*

[emo is so cool]

[Freezing Moon]

wow.

[Ace_of_Bass2112]

Well I don't know about you. but sarcasm is quite hard to detect over the internet.


That is why i am working on a "Sarcasm Button". It is where you will press it while you post so that in big bold colors it will say SARCASM

[Darkness]

God I love this forum. :lol:

[G_Mac07]

This is almost as cool as when Ken stickied that thread bashing him.

Threadstarter: My username is a good example of an oxymoron

That was the first time I actually noticed what your username actually was.

[PepsiMetal]

How would Guns N' Roses qualify as an oxymoron at all, let alone a clever one?

It's not a clever one, but everyone should at least have an idea of why it is an oxymoron. It's only 3 worlds long.

Anyways, nice sticky. :lol:

Lots of good information in this thread. lol

[TheDMV]

...And the world sank...

[rhcp pman]

Do you guys realise that Axl Rose rearranged is Oral Sex?

Probably not. I'll bet it's been figured out long ago.

[gillygan]

SARCASM!


Thats a beutiful post. And theres a fukload of code that goes into writing that word.

[MidnightRider]

I feel bad for this kid, I'm sure he thought he was doing all of us a favor.

[JohnXDoe]

I believe it was former members of a band called L.A. Guns and another called Rose Tattoo. These former members of each band got together and called themselves Guns N Roses. Either that or Rose Tattoo took on members of L.A. Guns and changed there name to G N R. Same thing, really.

[blue3]

Hollywood Rose..

[JohnXDoe]

Yup. And I was beaten by a mile....

[Mein bass]

OH MY GOD!!! The Beatles broke up?!?!
At least I still have the booming voice of Bon Scott to rock out to. :amaze:

Rose Tattoo are Australian, I think.

What was that about? :lol:

[GN'Randallthat]

is there any official Guns N' Roses thread?

[6stringslinger]

is there any official Guns N' Roses thread?

There is about 387 different Guns and Roses threads on this site. They come out about every 11 or 12 days.

I don't understand why everybody is down on Guns and Roses, Shi* I am excited as hell.......it is now 2006 we are one year closer to the potential release of Chinese Democracy in 2015 and the 2018 US Tour!! wooooohoooo

[Blank]

The chinease democracy is supposed to be techno/industrial stuff.
:upset:
Not what I wanna hear when I think of Guns 'N roses..

[Ladyshredder126]

At least I still have the booming voice of Bon Scott to rock out to. :amaze:

um, he died on my birthday.....

Yeah, exactly, worst member of GnR+ Techno= not cool.

At least change the name, so that this doesn't tarnish the name of GnR. But he won't cause the name will sell the Album, not the material.

[Dave de Sylvia]

what the **** are you people talking about

If he was interested in selling albums, he'd release one, dipshit. Who gives these people memberships?

[Blank]

Dowload the song my world and you'll know what im talking about.
Geesh I swear.

[The Fonz]

what the **** are you people talking about

Thats what the album is, that's what were talking about. what the **** are you talking about?
And if he wasn't interested in selling albums, he could get rid of the name.
There is no reason to keep the name, other than it was one of the bigger bands of the 80's and early 90's.
Anticipation, if it just came out with little fanfare, it wouldn't sell so much.
If you can find something that says otherwise, fine, I'm wrong, but i don't see that hapening.

Dowload the song my world and you'll know what im talking about.
Geesh I swear.

What he said, even though that was from Use Your Illusion II , that's the direction he wanted the band to go in. And that's the direction he's taking this band.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Dowload the song my world and you'll know what im talking about.
Geesh I swear.
I listened to My World a few minutes ago. It's on Use Your Illusion II, released in 1991. Now what are you talking about?\

And if he wasn't interested in selling albums, he could get rid of the name.
There is no reason to keep the name, other than it was one of the bigger bands of the 80's and early 90's.
He keeps the name because he hasn't left the band yet.

Anticipation, if it just came out with little fanfare, it wouldn't sell so much.
Yes, albums that aren't promoted don't sell vey well.

What he said, even though that was from Use Your Illusion II , that's the direction he wanted the band to go in. And that's the direction he's taking this band.
So you're basing your prediction on a 15 year old quote and not on the actual music he's released since?

[Blank]

No what i was saying,that's pretty much what all the songs on the new cd will sound like.
With some Manson influence :upset:
And I might be wrong but I think Axl changed it from Guns'N'roses to Guns and roses.

[Dave de Sylvia]

No, they won't. He's played 6 songs which may or may not appear on the album live, and they're not like that.

[The Fonz]

You listened to it, now compare it to paradise city, or 14 years. It's a completely different sound, and while it's credited to the band, Axl is the only one who worked on that song.

He has no reason to, he got the rights to the name when he threatened(sp?) to leave the band.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I know it sounds different. Thanks.

[The Fonz]

Actualy, with sensibility in mind, I should probably change my first statement. He's still the worst member, but industrial stuff is okay, I like Nine Inch Nails, and so yeah. It's just not Guns n' Roses.

You're still an *** though.

[guitrguy]

Actually it was because fo the merging of members from the bands Hollywood Roses and LA Guns.
right on the money

I know, but I've no idea why you'd think he's the worst member, seeing as he wrote about 40% of the band's total material.

right on the money
thanks

[The Fonz]

Well, it's not so much his musical capabilities, so much as his voice, which while it can be seen as a positive attribute, becuase its rather unique, it can get iratating(sp?), I actually, like Izzy's voice, but thats irrelevant. And it was becuase he was so hard to work with, with trying to change the band, and take control, it was his fault, in part that the band fell apart. He can also just be a dick.

And by the way, I never really thought of axl as the last member, I just figured the band fell apart, and that was that.I guess I was wrong.

And, if you have limewire, you can download some of the songs, and well, there deffinetly not the GnR I rememeber, wether that good or bad, is personal oppinion.
