Eminem as Axl Rose

Picture

 

"D12 with Eminem had the crowd roaring with their parody of a rock band - featuring Eminem dressed as famed Guns 'n' Roses frontman Axl Rose. In true Kill Bill fashion, D12's Bizarre dressed up as Uma Thurman's character in the film. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs performed their hit "Maps" on an incredible set, a concept by director-producer Spike Jonze."

This is quite ironic considering what two years ago MTV was licking Axl's nutsack sweat because the washed-up Axl + random band members, performed at an MTV awards show.

So I guess the Movie Awards spoilers are up somewhere?

They'll keep it up too, cause Loder has a hardon for Axl. Upon second viewing, he doesn't look like Axl at all, just the bandanna. Let's see if he does that "snakedance" deal that Axl was known for.

Is the drummer supposed to be Angus Young?

[Art Sandusky 0]

Yup. Pretty funny, if you ask me. Looks like they tried to take cues from a bunch of rock bands for, you know, "My Band." Why else would Axl Rose be using Tyler's microphone stand?

[justsoyouknow 0]

Angus doesn't play the drums...

[Art Sandusky 0]

That's another reason it's funny.

[justsoyouknow 0]

Oh, that kooky Eminem.

[Guest ian.]

He looks like maynard james keenan with blonde hair.

[Placebo Effect 0]

He looks like maynard james keenan with blonde hair.

And he's got the body of Avril Lavigne.

 

This will likely be the only thing worth seeing. Thank God for downloads.

Looks more like Bret Michaels.

For those who can't wait for the broadcast, here's a complete look at the winners of the 2004 MTV Movie Awards, as determined by fan voting:

 

"Bill" Kills at MTV Movie Awards

 

by Joal Ryan

Lip locks, full moons, and, oh yeah, awards. Funny business as usual at the 2004 MTV Movie Awards.

 

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 was the big winner at the show, held Saturday at the Sony Pictures Studio in Culver City, California.

 

Movie stars with summer movies to push (Tom Cruise, Halle Berry, Kirsten Dunst, etc.) and music stars with new albums to push (the Yeah Yeahs Yeahs, the Beastie Boys, Eminem's D12) didn't do poorly for themselves, either.

 

Neither did Quentin Tarantino.

 

Tarantino's ode to revenge movies, kung-fu movies and big, fat, bloody action sequences picked up a field-best three tubs of golden popcorn--what passes for an award at the event--including a Best Female Performance honor for Kill Bill killer Uma Thurman.

 

"Quentin spent many years writing this for me and wants to be honored as if he were dead tonight," Thurman said. "We don't have time, so I'll have to honor [him] as if [he] were living. Thank you, Quentin."

 

Kill Bill also was lauded for Lucy Liu's evil-doing (Best Villain) and Thurman and Chiaki Kuriyama's on-screen dust-up (Best Fight).

 

Other key honorees included: Johnny Depp, avenging his Oscar loss with a Best Male Performance win for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl; and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King adding to its Oscar haul with two more trophies, including one for Best Movie.

 

Lindsay Lohan, at 17, the youngest-ever host of the MTV Movie Awards, also became the first host to double as a popcorn-tub recipient, honored as Breakthrough Female performer for Freaky Friday.

 

Carmen Electra accepted the award for Best Kiss for her smooch work in Starsky & Hutch with Amy Smart and Owen Wilson. With Smart and Wilson's lips absent, Electra made do with those of presenters Snoop Dogg and Paris Hilton.

 

Presenters included anybody who's anybody who's got a big movie coming out soon, including Cruise (Collateral), Berry (Catwoman), Dunst (Spider-Man 2), Vin Diesel (The Chronicles of Riddick) and Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans (White Chicks).

 

Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Rings master Peter Jackson put in face time via short films.

 

Per NME.com, Eminem-graced rap outfit D12 provided the musical highlight in the form of a fashion highlight--dropping collective trou to moon the audience.

 

MTV is scheduled to air the show in living, if possibly pixilated, color Thursday at 9 p.m. (ET/PT).

 

Best Movie: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

Best Male Performance: Johnny Depp, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

Best Female Performance: Uma Thurman, Kill Bill: Vol. 1

Best Comedic Performance: Jack Black, School of Rock

Best Villain: Lucy Liu, Kill Bill: Vol. 1

Breakthrough Male: Shawn Ashmore, X2: X-Men United

Breakthrough Female: Lindsay Lohan, Freaky Friday

Best Kiss: Owen Wilson & Carmen Electra & Amy Smart, Starsky & Hutch

Best Action Sequence: Battle at Gondor, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

Best Fight: Uma Thurman vs. Chiaki Kuriyama, Kill Bill: Vol. 1

Best Dance Sequence: Seann William Scott, American Wedding

Looks more like Bret Michaels.

Exactly what I thought.

[tbondrage99 0]

Oh Eminem, your such a dumbass. Keep up the good work.

[Guest El Satanico]

He does look like Brett Michaels. Not Poison era Bret Michaels, but current Bret Michaels in his appearance on VH1's "100 Best Metal Moments".

 

There's alot of similarities in the personalities of Axl and Eminem. Just like Eminem if roles were reversed, I'm sure Axl won't have a sense of humor when he's the joke.

 

 

:waits for a feud between Axl and Eminem:

Best Dance Sequence: Seann William Scott, American Wedding

 

That dance scene kicked ass.

 

Back on topic: Um...I think Eminem as Axl Rose is good...they've been arrested and sued about the same number of times.

Re-Use Your Illusion

Posted by: SpinOnline on Wednesday, June 25, 2003 - 01:58 PM

 

Why is Axl Rose eating Eminem's soul?

 

Here's the thing about modern teenagers: They like rap. It speaks to them. Rap music (sometimes referred to as "hip-hop" by sociologists) offers today's youth a sense of urgency and desperation not seen since the "heyday" of late-'70s punk-rock artists like the Clash and Boston. This phenomenon is best illustrated through the work of a popular Caucasian known as Eminem, a man who spent much of 2002 as the unsmiling cover boy for youth-oriented magazines such as Spin, The Face, and The New York Times Magazine. It would seem that Eminem is a new kind of cultural Minotaur: the irrepressible cad who flouts society's conventions by candidly critiquing pop culture and sporadically threatening to murder people. It all seems quite innovative.

 

Yet this is not as you may suspect, true believers. This has been done before. In fact, this has completely been done before, because Eminem is Axl Rose. And I don't mean Eminem is like Axl Rose in a metaphorical sense or in a philosophical sense or in an allegorical sense; Eminem is literally reliving Rose's career in bizarre, hyper-specific ways. My proof:

 

Both hail from the Midwest and express violent anger toward their mothers (Rose on Guns N' Roses' "Bad Obsession," Eminem on pretty much every track he's ever recorded).

Both reappropriated their given names for reasons that were simultaneously personal and aesthetic (Rose renamed himself after discovering the identity of his "real" father; Eminem titled his most visceral album after his legal name to make it more "real" to listeners).

Both have been critically reviled as homophobic, yet both seem vaguely obsessed and/or connected with gay culture (Rose once sent flowers to the Pet Shop Boys, who later sang the song "The Night I Fell in Love," about a Shady-like character). Both artists were also defended by Elton John, who performed with each at high-profile awards shows.

Both are fixated on burying women in the backyard (Rose in the GN'R song "Used to Love Her," Eminem in the video for "Cleanin' Out My Closet").

Both attacked seemingly innocuous enemies (Axl went after the likes of Vince Neil and Spin founder Bob Guccione Jr.; Em went after Moby and Chris Kirkpatrick).

Both sing about abusing "bitches" they were romantically involved with (Rose on "It's So Easy," Slim Shady on "Kim").

Both are diminutive white males who, after discovering weight training, suddenly wanted to appear shirtless in public.

 

So what do these "coincidences" tell us, beyond suggesting that Eminem soon will disappear into the Sedona desert for ten years before emerging with a band featuring some dude wearing a KFC bucket? Perhaps they tell us this: What always survives the evolution of culture, and what tends to be replicated most closely by subsequent generations, is inexplicable--a manifestation of fucked-up alienation. Logic would dictate that commercial success comes from creating a product that people can relate to. But cultural success--the ability to exist as an idea, years after your tangible work has lost its relevance--derives from embodying a persona that almost nobody can relate to. Somehow, the marriage of weirdness and bad judgment is its own kind of eternal reality.

 

Case in point: Justin Timberlake. When J.T. performed in that stupid detective's hat at last year's MTV Video Music Awards, everyone's reaction was the same: "Oh, how cute--he wants to be Michael Jackson." I can't believe that more people weren't aghast that someone actively wants to be Michael Jackson. At this point, Jackson is no different from Howard Hughes: His life's work has been completely dwarfed by his desire to lie in hyperbaric oxygen chambers and collect the bones of the Elephant Man (not to mention his being accused of child molestation and calling Sony racist for allowing him to sell only 58 million albums). No rational person views Jackson as anything except a freakish example of why profound celebrity is the worst thing that can happen to anyone. Yet people like Timberlake (and like Eminem) still aspire to that kind of public self-destruction, because that kind of losing is actually how you win. And that's because profound celebrity is always less disposable than art.

 

Eminem and Axl article

[Guest Choken One]

ummm...Eminem is MOCKING (and rightfully so) Axl...

 

Timberlake WAS trying to be MJ.

[1234-5678 0]

Wearing a bandanna doesn't mean you're mocking Axl Rose. Now if he came out in a football jersey and braids, then we'd have something.

[Guest Choken One]

Well...Most people still remember AXL with the bandana...

[Use Your Illusion 0]

When did he stop wearing the bandana? It's always been his trademark, Choken.

 

I don't give a fuck about Eminem or his shitty 'band'.

 

UYI

A rap group isn't a band. And if you're reffering to the song, they'are obviously mocking how people somehow call it one.

[Use Your Illusion 0]

Hence the inverted commas, moron.

[haVoc 0]

"Use to Love Her" was about Slash's dog, wasn't it?

[1234-5678 0]

I thought it was about Izzy's dog, but I dunno.

 

Axl said something about it being about "when you boyfriend or girlfriend is a real fuckin pain in the ass, and you wanna cut off their fucking head and stick in a bag and bury in in the backyard."

[Lord of The Curry 0]

I like how the spoilers said that Johnny Depp "avenged" his Oscar loss. Like anybody actually fucking expected him to win.

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

Looks more like Bret Michaels.

Agreed.

 

He looks alot more like Michaels than Axl.

[1234-5678 0]

He was totally doing Axl, with that little dance and all. I saw it on mute at a bar, plan on watching it in a few. but it looked funny for what it was.
