Guns N' Roses - Two revolvers pointing at each other with rose flowers coiled around
What is the significance?
Rock and roll.
For fun purpose, I brought up a some random defining thinking. @#$%^ Figure out what made the rockers and rollers think of the name which consists of guns and roses. oh right, I read before that it was the name of the members of L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose namely, Tracii Guns and Axl Rose (almighty).
Think again, it's somewhat a great match. The logo is very beautiful. The colour of the gun and the red of rose also show some contrasted perception. A rose, so beautiful and static. The gun so powerful and dynamic, it can shoot. A peaceful idea in contrast to the violence-ridden invention respectively.
But they share something in common. Nothing "nice" lasts forever.
The rose portrayed some peace but it also has its thorns in which it symbolizes "war->engage" button. And so the gun is also used in wars. However it has 2 functions; pull the trigger to start the war/end the peace or to end the war/start the peace.
..Even though the metal of the gun lasts quite some time heh..
Anyway, gun can be seen as the hard and rose the soft elements of Guns N' Roses.
Pore over the words from the song Civil War.
"
Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before
Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before
My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars
D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land
And
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more
My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars
~We practice selective annihilation of mayors
And government officials
For example to create a vacuum
Then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances
Peace is closer~
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war
I don't need one more war
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway
