Even Ozzy hates Axl!

[coreydm676]

I was listening to the lyrics in crucify the dead off the new slash album and Its obviously about Axl.

The fire started long ago
The flames burn down still embers glow
So charred and black
There's nothing left to burn, to burn

We had the same dream
Lived life to the extreme
A loaded gun jammed by a rose

The thorns a knot around your head
Your ego cursed you 'til you bled
You can not crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah

The future isn't set in stone
Decisions past leave you alone
Betrayed us all with your own selfish greed, your greed, yeah

New soldiers now stand
At your beck and command
Recruits they are bought and paid by you

The thorns a knot around your head
Your ego cursed 'til you bled
You can not crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah

We were like brothers with the world in our hands
You always have to much to say
Some days you look back and you'll wonder why
You let it all slip away, yeah

SOLO

Crucify the dead
Crucify the dead

The thorns a knot around your head
Your ego cursed you 'til you bled
You can not crucify the dead
To me you're dead, yeah

I heard that on Sirius but Slash insist it has nothing to do with Axl.

 

[Howard2k]

Because there is nobody that Ozzy has that sort of relationship with.


Like... Tommy for instance. Nope, that would be impossible.

[QuicksilverSS]

I think Ozzy told it like it is!!
Coincidence??

 

[EEF13]

Slash wrote it not Ozzy.

 

[coreydm676]

well if it is about axl slash would never admit to it/ axl would sue him some how. like axl sues every one else.

 

[QuicksilverSS]

Slash wrote it not Ozzy.

Of that i am sure, But Ozzy got to put it in words!

 

[Louie]

Well, Ozzy said in an interview with Classic Rock magazine that he wrote the lyrics thinking about what happened to Black Sabbath and GNR, especially how those band broke up. One can of course easily assume it's partly about Axl.

Source: it can be found in the "Slash Pack" edition of Classic Rock Magazines limited edition of Slash's solo album.

I have the Slash Pack, here's what it says...

Ozzy: It's kind of about what I think happened to Guns n Roses. I often said to Slash, You know what? One day you guys are going to wake up and go, What the fuck did we have and why did we blow it? Velvet Revolver were good. Scott Weiland's a great singer, but it ain't Guns n Roses. There's only one Guns n Roses. You could get The Beatles backing Axl and it wouldn't be the same. It's kind of like taking Keith Richards out of the Stones. In fact for a while I thought GNR were the next Rolling Stones! I said to Slash, Do you know what you guys had?Do you understand any of it? For first timers, I guess, it blew their tops. But Slash and Axl belong to each other. You ask me who else is in U2 apart from Bono and the Edge I wouldn't have a clue. Aerosmith; Steve Tyler and Joe Perry. With GNR, it was Slash and Axl. So this song is about what I'd be saying to Axl if I was Slash, you know. They can't crucify you when you're dead.

I have the Slash pack too.
All the singers wrote their own lyrics.
Ozzy stated it was about Axl and how it's a pain in the ass they can't all just get back together and make music again. It's about how they should just get on with it because they can't be crucified when they're dead.
Personally, I don't think it was Ozzy's best idea to put those lyrics on a Slash solo song. Slash is trying to develop something on his own as a creative musician and Ozzy brings GNR into it. It's also not really something he should be publicly commenting on IMO.
He's right though.

 

[Benjammin]

Right on Ozzy, I didnt think he wrote alot of lyrics

 

[Texas Joe]

Who cares who wrote it or if it was intended towards Axl or not.... The lyric is TRUE.

WTF is this guys problem? Is he a high functioning retard? Even the biggest a-holes have time when they say to themselves, you know this is all really stupid, and try to get past it. But ooooooohhhhh nooooo not Mr. W. Axl Rose. RETARD!

 

[bildozr]

Coreh's first thread without being flamed. I'm impressed.

 

[BillB1960]

Lyrics: Sounds created to fill up the space between guitar solos.

 

[allbusinessjoe]

Of that i am sure, But Ozzy got to put it in words!

Haha. Yeah, I pretty much agree with with everyone here says. Slash is just playing dumb and saying that Ozzy wrote the words. But it's pretty obvious what is really going on here.

 

[bildozr]

GNR has more Drama than a bunch of highschool girls.

They only put out one good album.

 

[android13]

gnr has more drama than a bunch of highschool girls.

That is the truest statement I ever heard.
