Jungle.

"You'll learn to live like an animal, in the jungle where we play!"

(Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N' Roses)

Behind all the porno, drug and pointless lyrics, Guns N' Roses' have some songs that have got some phrases with a inteligent concept. Welcome to the Jungle is one of them. Even though most of it's lyrics refer to sex and the rock n' roll life, there are two quotes that I like quite a lot; the one above and, "Do you know where you are? You're in the jungle baby ! You're gonna die!". Through these lyrics you can see how life and people are. What they'll do to survive life, which in this music is compared to a jungle. Humans are compared with animals, "irracional" animals which act with their instincts, etc etc. One day, when I have more inspiration I'll talk a little bit more about the deph of this quote. The music is also quite good, you should hear it.

With love,

Gee.

Guns N' Roses.

Okay, I said I would post from time to time, little things about my idols, which are all artists. This time I'm going to talk about one of my favourite bands: Guns N' Roses. As I've said before, I'm a huuuuge fan of music, it's my best friend and everythin. well, so here is some info about ma babys:

GUNS N' ROSES (Former Guns)

So the story goes a lil' like this:

Once upon a time there was a little boy from Lafayette, Indiana called William Bruce Bailey who thought he was the son of Sharon Lintner and Stephen Bailey, but with 17 , while going through some papers discovered that he was actually son of William Bruce Rose. With 16 he started to "act out". He got in trouble with the police many times and was kicked out from home for not cutting his hair. At this age, he also met Jeffrey Isbell (later known as Izzy Stradlin), with who he talked about their love for rock and eventually started playing in bands together. Stradlin eventually left Rose and Indiana, going to LA in order to perceive his dream to be in a band. In 1982 it would be Rose's turn to do the same thing, and leave Indiana for Los Angeles. Rose eventually would change his name to W. Axl Rose (AXL was the name of a band in which he played) and set out to re-unite with Izzy. In LA, Axl was a member for bands as Rapidfire, Hollywood Rose and LA Guns. It would be in 1985 that one of the greatest bands in the world, Guns N' Roses, would be formed by Axl and guitarrist Tracii Guns, his LA Guns bandmate. The name of the band was a merge between LA GUNS and Hollywood ROSE that featured musicians who had played for one or both groups like Izzy Stradlin, Ole Beich and Rob Gardner. After a short while Ole Beich would be replaced by Duff McKagan, Rob Gardner would quit and be replaced by Steven Adler and Tracii replaced by Slash, for not showing up at rehearsals. Slash, a very talented guitarrist (considered by many one of the best ever), had played with McKagan in Road Crew and was friends with Steven since childhood. This would be one of the greatest line-ups ever formed with Axl on the vocals, Izzy on the rythym guitar, Slash with the solo guitar, Duff on the bass and Steven on the drums. The band would hit it big in LA and eventually build a big fan base and capture the attention of many record companies. On the 21st June 1987, Guns N' Roses released they're massive album, Appetite For Destruction. A album full with hits like "Sweet Child O'Mine", "Paradise City", "My Michelle", "Welcome To The Jungle", "Nightrain", "Mr. Brownstone" and others. The rest is history. After Appetite , 5 more albuns would be released under the name Guns N Roses (G'N'R Lies, Use Your Illusion I/II, The Spaghetti Incident?, and Chinese Democracy), though tha lasts ones were with different line-up. Appetite hit it huge in the whole world and fixed the band as one of the greatest in the world. Lies and UYI I/II also hit massive. But, it was during the fortune and fame that problems started. During the Use Your Illusion tour Steven was fired because of his drug addictions and in 1991, Izzy, who many consider the quiet, reserved and brains of the band, quitted, suposedly because he was fed up with Axl's bitchin'. Some years later Slash would quit and later Duff. Now, the only original band member in GNR is the controversial Axl, to whom many blame for the "end" of the band , even though GNR's still active. Now, the band has a totally different line-up and is touring (Chinese Democracy was released in 2008 after 12 years and $13 million were spent) , while Duff and Slash are kickin it in Velver Revolver. Izzy's havin' a calm life releasing albuns (10 so far) and Steve has had many problems because of his drug addiction. Nevertheless, Guns N' Roses will always be remembered for it's great music and shows. It's considered one of the greatest bands ever, have sold over 100 million records worldwide, and the band members are all very well known for there talent (especially Axl and Slash). So, that's it, that's GUNS N' ROSES.

Info: Axl is known for his ego-centered behaviour, and many people blame him for ending with the band. He and Slash have had some sort of fight which made Axl hate him and say that "before we stand on the same stage together one of us will be dead". Meaning that it's nearly impossible for the original line-up to come back together.

I think that's enough. xD But yeah, they're one of my fave bands. I love the album AFD and musics from other albuns such as "Patience", "November Rain, "Live and Let Die", "Knocking on Heavens Door" etc. ^^

Personality.

She's like Heaven and Hell.

You know, while I was talking with Anna, a friend of mine, I remembered of posting a little message about my personality. Well, the thing is I consider myself "bipolar". What is that, you ask? It's a person who has two distinct, opposite personalities. Why do I consider myself as that? Because i think, within me "exists" two individuals. One is a bubbly, free-spirit girl, who's always bouncing around etc etc. The other person is very serious and quite cold. You can even notice this in my voice. The "happy me" has a very girly, loud voice, while the "serious me" (not unhappy, I'm no emo xD) has a much more calmer voice. If you know me and have seen my two sides, you may actually say "she really is that way", or maybe not, maybe I'm just exagerating. Btw, I'm not saying I'm REALLY bipolar, I'm not a maniac or anything, but the word expresses well what I wanna say (bi=two , polar=side, etc etc).

But.. wtv, this doesn't make me unhappy, so.. so what?

Eclipse.

«All that you touch,
All that you see,
All that you taste,
All you feel,
All that you love,

All that you hate,

All you distrust,

All you save,

All that you give,

All that you deal,

All that you buy,

Beg, borrow and steal,
All you create,

All you destroy,
All that you do,
All that you say,
All that you eat,
Everyone you meet,

All that you slight,
Everyone you fight,
All that is now,
All that is gone,
All that's to come,
And everything under the sun is in tune,
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.»

Invisible.

I am an invisible man. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids - and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. - Ralph Ellison

Well, this quote was in my english book, and I liked it a lot , so I decided to just post it here, so you can have a peek. It talks about descrimination, but it can also be understood in some other way within your mind. :3

Gee wishes to all a good 2010.
