I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching old clips with Axl Rose on Youtube. I happened to love GNR back in the late 80's & early 90's, it was a bit embarrassing then, but in retrospect I can say I had an okay taste. They simply are one of the the best rock bands ever.
Anyway, I remember back in those days, early 90's, I worked for Aftonbladet (Swedish big newspaper), and for years, there were small articles about Axl EVERYDAY! Like: "Axl Rose is back in court about the case when he threw a bottle of Jack Daniels at his female neighbour who knocked on his door when he had an afterparty one night", or "Axl Rose got in a fight with an audience member who threw a whale tooth onstage in Buenos Aires". Well back then you could read about this stuff, but you couldn't see anything live with them except their MTV-videos.
But today, for some weird reason, people have saved little snippets from old news casts on TV, and are putting them on YouTube, and it's an enjoyment without stpp to see all the stupid and clever and irrational stuff Axl and the band came up with. One scene, that is just so funny, (Spinal Tap!) but also senselessly boring, is when the first incarnation of GNR are sitting on a bench at CBGB's doing an "interview", and they are just stoned and drunk stupid, fidgeting with cigarettes and glasses. A total Heavy Metal Rock'n'roll cliché.
