I absolutely love it but there are references to n*ggers and f*gs yet I can't remember any outcry when it came out. Slash is half black so I can't imagine it is but if the song is ironic or tongue in cheek it doesn't seem to say it very clearly. Anyone know the truth about it?

My favorite song by GnR......
I think I like it so much because it is politically incorrect.
To answer your question,no,I dont know the circumstances that led to the lyrics,to me its just a KICK AZZ song. I like how Axel vents his frustrations on immigrants and homosexuals.Also when I hear him use the racial slur I keep in mind that I think hes not referring to all blacks, just the ones that are useless welfare criminals.I am not a bigot,theres a whole country full of white trash too( I just could be a racist,racist against white trash!!....im white!)

No, definetley not a racist song, cause slash himself is halfblack, that song is about themselves, how they all are one in a million, listen to the words carefully, and you'll get it

It is a racist song but I don't think that G n'R is racist. They did it just to shock and piss people off, something that they were really good at. I really miss these guys(the original members). Wild and dangerous.

Shock for the sake of shock. Slash is half-Black.
