when axl got mad at izzy did he call him jeffrey

Axl Rose is my favorite trans woman.

The "help me please" breaks my heart. The man asked for help so many times. He honestly deserves being so happy now...

'ONE IN A MILLION'

1988. Axl Rose walks off a Greyhound in L.A., gets swarmed by hustlers, tweakers, limp-wristed coastal goblins, gets mugged, gets harassed, (almost) gets raped, gets alienated, and then writes a song about it.

Critics today call it 'problematic', telling you it's the worst GNR track - ranking it below 'My World' or demo-tier leftovers - because it violated their worldview, because Axl used words you're not allowed to say, and these are the same types who hear a slur and think that's where thinking ends. That's the IQ cap of liberal morality: word bad = song bad - that's it, that's the whole review.

But 'One in a Million' isn't about slurs - it's about alienation, it's about being white, poor, rural, broke, pissed-off, and dropped in the middle of a city (Los Angeles) you don't understand - a city that wants to devour you, humiliate you, and then call you a bigot when you rebel. Axl didn't write that song with a PR team and three DEI consultants, he wrote it as a human being thrown into an urban jungle full of predators, parasites, and preachers.

Was it racist? No. It was territorial. Was it homophobic? No. It was paranoid. Was it crude? Fuck yes - and that's why it mattered. People say 'One in a Million' is hard to listen to. Good, it was meant to be. It was a gutpunch from a kid who didn't belong, and all the hand-wringing critics pretending they didn't understand that are just cowards with press passes. Sometimes the world's just a pile of shit, plain and simple - and yes, sometimes, you do feel that gut-punch hate, that panic-in-your-chest fear, and that grease-under-your-nails kind of disgust - that's life, and real art is supposed to show you that mess. That's what rock 'n' roll is, in my opinion.

I don't really care if pitchforks keep ranking it last, or if Rolling Stone is seething because they hate hearing a white dude say 'nigger'. They don't understand Axl, and probably never will - but I hate it when they claim that Axl is a 'racist' or a 'sexist' because he wrote down his own personal experience and saw through the bullshit: the poor, angry, white kid with no college degree, no 'allyship', and no media training. I respect Axl so much for it, and I will never forget this song, no matter how 'outdated' it is considered. It is more relevant for America than ever - thirty years later, and we're still scared of what he said.

An interview in the beginning

I found an interview from the beginning of the band. I'm bringing it here so you can see a bit of the humor and sarcasm that Izzy had.

Axl spoke most of the interview in a low, somewhat serious voice, while Izzy was in the background making comments like:"We don't care about that", "That's a stupid question", "Next" or "Fuck your interview".

On the other hand, Duff seemed drunk, Steven was trying to flirt with a girl who was there and Slash seemed to be the mediator trying to solve the band's problems.

The interviewer (a woman) began to ask the ages of the members, everyone looked seriously at each other, until they spoke:

Axl:"Sure, we'll reveal our ages."

Duff:"Yeah, we don't care, I'm nineteen years old"

Axl:"I am twenty-four"

Slash:"No, Duff is twenty-two and I'm nineteen"

Izzy:"This is really not relevant..."

Slash:"Come on, say it..."

Izzy:"Axl isn't twenty-four, he's a million years old! He's seen it all!"

The interviewer: "Now let's go with the real ages"

Izzy:"What about the shit about ages? We don't care about that shit"

Slash:Izzy is twenty-three and Steven is twenty-one"

Izzy:"Write that for the Rainbow, so they'll let us through."

(...)

Slash:"Yes, I mean...I loved my dog"

Izzy:"But then the dog died and now he has Steven!"

Steven:"Oh fuck you!"

Axl Rose Interview

"There's a lot of violence in the world. That's the environment we live in and we like to show what we live in rather than hide it and act like everything is nice and sugary.

Everybody likes to paint their pretty pictures, but that just ain't how it is.

It just seems easier to know the rougher side (of life) than the more pleasant side just because it's more readily accessible.

It seems like when you come to this town unless you are part of the mommy's-boy-daddy's-money poseur rock scene they try to puke you right out," said Rose.

"You fight for your place.

I remember two years of standing at the Troubadour and talking to no one, not knowing what to do, and everybody thinking they're so cool. Eventually we did our own thing, made new friends, and brought a new crowd to the Troubadour."

Izzy Stradlin in shire

"Back then he was Izzy Bell. He looked a lot like Nikki Sixx"

The ads on a weekly basis and soon found their next bass player, Izzy Stradlin, who went on to gain fame as rhythm guitarist for Guns N’ Roses. “Back then he was Izzy Bell,” says Santalesa of Stradlin, “He looked a lot like Nikki Sixx and had a lot of energy. He was very enthusiastic.” (This contrary to the current heroin chic persona Stradlin sports today.)

Santalesa goes on to say that Stradlin was always more of a punk at heart, counter to Shire’s melodic power metal sound. He says “[Izzy] wanted to do a Ramones song and I added a solo, so everyone thought that was funny. He was the first guy I saw wearing creepers so he was ahead of his time.”

Ultimately, Stradlin would leave the band when “his friend Bill Bailey came from Indiana in 1983, so he started doing his thing with him.” (Bill would be GnR singer Axl Rose.)

«His howl was pure, unadulterated rage and anguish, not a vocal exercise; clearly, the first time that sound came out of him, it had come from the pit of his stomach»
