If the occult concept of thought-forms is true, that belief can imbue a concept with spiritual life, then capitalism is already the literal god of our time, just sitting out there in the spirit-world, gorging itself. This just seems like a way to legitimise it as a deity, to funnel souls directly into it.
Well, if there's any silver lining to be found here, it's probably consumed the demiurge by now, and as more people give up on capitalism as a system the entity will lose power.
Well Stephanie Seymour played Axl's wife, and she was his real life girlfriend, and he did beat the shit out of her. I always saw November Rain as kind of Axl imagining "what if... what if someday my love of beating up women goes too far..."
Watch the Don't Cry video and THEN watch the November Rain video. Both songs are about volatile relationships, and both of them are pleas to his lover to hold on and not lose herself in her depression. The Don't Cry video shows Axl and Stephanie fighting over a gun (which seems to be hers). She is also seen brooding at home alone and lashing out at women who try to flirt with Axl. Later in the video, we see that the other members of the band have similar issues with their lovers. The theme in Don't Cry becomes clear as the video progresses; Axl is afraid that someone is going to be killed in this volatile environment.. That is depicted with Slash, who is driving through the desert with his girlfriend, who is screaming at him in anger and trying to grab the steering wheel and run them off the road. Slash takes her up on it and drives them over a cliff. Axl seeks therapy, taking care of himself. The "guns" store in November Rain at first just seems like a reference to "Guns n' Roses", but the addition of the Don't Cry video makes it seem like foreshadowing. Maybe she shot herself, or maybe the gun went off in one of their fights where she was waving it around. In the coffin, Stephanie's head is halfway blocked by a mirror so you can only see one side of her, implying a gunshot wound to the other side of her face.
The fashion sense in November Rain is fucking off the charts. Everyone has like 3-4 costumes in the video, and they are all ridiculous. Axl standing at the altar w/straightened hair and a 1760 Venetian Noble's coat, Slash soloing while wearing a leather jacket and no shirt, it all owns.
Superficially he seems to fit in the sad old rocker categorie, right along Kid Rock and Ted Nugent, but he's a) not that desperate to be liked and b) much more talented than those guys.
I used to think its better to "teach" establishment democrats a lesson but we all know that they would rather lose than let progressives take control. I think Vaush has good arguments. After 4 more years of Trump, liberals will be even more desperate for some status quo "normality". Not willing to take a chance on something further to the left.
The idea that anyones vote matters at the presidential electoral level is on the ludicrous side. It all comes to the electoral college anyway. Regardless, I'm still voting green and have moderate hopes for the peoples party. I will not bens the knee. There is not a significant enough different between Trump and Harris, I mean Biden.
I remember Meatloaf being a beast in that video, but maybe he’s a beastie wolfDrac. Interpretive monster mashup melodrama, or Larpy makeup department? 🤔 Also, in 1994 my bf’s younger bro would pull up to the house every night after his manager job at the local pizza place, blaring “I would do anything for love” from his Blues Brothers used cop car. He was fine af. And Mormon. 😉
True story... a guy kills his wife, and through the investigation they find the G&R song "Used To Love Her" deleted on his hard drive. That band's songs obviously resonate with psychos
18 minutes in and everyone other than will have spoken in total 5 times. Please just have will talk less, I don't understand why you let him go on with his pre prepared monologues for this long
Ik it's months later but just as a side note, Matt & Felix tried to do their own podcast and it's kind of a flop tbh. That's because they're both 'the talent' and they need someone like Will or Chris to actually manage the show.
