[edit] Instruments
Axl Rose is clearly credited for playing guitar on the song "Dead Horse." I placed it under the instruments tab. Also, in 'Slash,' by Slash, he states that the orchestra in 'November Rain' and the trumpets and other effects in 'Live and Let Die,' were all synthesizers, played by Axl Rose. This is an electronic instrument, and I added it. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Runswithpotatos (talk • contribs) —Preceding undated comment added 11:05, 12 July 2009.
[edit] Re-write
This article is oddly structured. First, the main section is titled "Biography", but then there's also a separate "Personal life" section—how is that not a part of his biography?
Second, the "Controversy" section gives undue weight to negative aspects of his life and career. It also creates an imbalanced view, since the preceding "Biography" section is now all-positive, with all the negative content having been extracted and placed in its own section. It also ruins the chronology of events (but maybe that's my personal hang-up).
I propose merging the content of "Controversy" into "Biography". His drug use (or lack thereof) in no way requires its own section and should be integrated into "Personal life". "Events surrounding Chinese Democracy" should be integrated into the section that actually discusses the release of ChiDem, "Hiatus, touring, and Chinese Democracy (1995–present)". With a little work, "'One in a Million'" and "Riots, rants, and legal troubles" can be seamlessly integrated into "Success with Guns N' Roses (1985–1994)". Please voice your objections to my proposal. If I don't hear any, I'll get started on the change in a couple of days.

- Done. Compare old with new.
-
- The "Controversy" section is gone:
- "Drug use" -> now part of a "Health issues" subsection of "Personal life".
- "Riots, rants, and legal troubles" -> the St. Louis and Montreal riots are integrated in "1987-1993", as are the 1988 Donington deaths and the related topic of his tendency to communicate with unruly fans from the stage. The Vancouver riot has been integrated into "1994-present". The paragraphs on "problems" at more recent concerts (Download 2006, Newcastle 2006, Dublin 2010) have been removed for being trivial—the band plays a show, things get a little tense, they continue playing, the end. Unless there's a riot going on or people are dying, it's not notable. The 2010 Guitar Hero lawsuit belongs in the article on that game, not here.
- "Events surrounding Chinese Democracy" -> integrated into "1994-present". The 2009 copyright infringement lawsuit belongs in the article on ChiDem, not here.
-
- The "Work outside of music" section is also gone -> the Grand Theft Auto voice role has been integrated into "1994-present" since it's the only non-lawsuit-related thing he did between 2002 and 2006. The minor The Dead Pool cameo has been removed since it's not part of a bigger oeuvre and not particularly notable by itself. Idem the May 2009 announcement of his supposed upcoming production of the Coming Home novel——it can be re-added when/if it actually gets made.

Why does it say Axl Rose was born an idiot and mention he's an idiot more than once in this Wikipedia entry?

- Because somebody thought it would be funny to vandalise the page. I've fixed it now, thank you very much for pointing it out--Jac16888 Talk 17:01, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
