In the issue of SPIN a couple months back, (the one with Sum 41 on the cover) Chuck Klosterman wrote an article that compared Eminem to Axl Rose.

He may have writtent that one issue too soon.

In the next issue (the current one featuring Crass Caribbean on the cover)they had a story about the Guns N' Roses show at Madison Square Gardens this past December. (which a lot of people think may have been their last show ever)

Apparently, for some strange reason, Axl ranted off some dis' about Conan O'Brien.

I mean who talks shit about Conan?

Michael Bolton did it, but, he's not real. He's a robot.

Now there's another similarity between the two.

Eminems feud with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, and Axl's feud with Conan himself.

What's next?

Eminem will talk shit about the Masturbating Bear at his next concert, while Axl will invite Max Weinberg to be the new drummer on his tour, then subsequently have him beat by his bodyguards on night one.

They both wear bandanas.

They both "kill" their girlfriends/wives on albums.

They both have unlikely on stage pairings. (Eminem and Elton John; Axl and Elton John; Axl and Tom Petty)

Axl has braids and football jerseys to make him look like he's "down".

Eminem has a "blaccent", and a bunch of hired homies, plus a hatred of Vanilla Ice, who used to have his own hired homies, to make him look like he's "down".

And finally:

I loved Eminems first two albums, and hated the new one, while everyone else claimed to like it better then the first two.

I used to hate Guns N' Roses for awhile, but then I loved them, and I loved the performance at the VMA's while everybody else hated it.
