Guns and Roses Would Be Awesome As Lions!

axl_n_slash_by_dynamo_xrThis month, every Trophy Bomb post is inspired by a drawing from DeviantART.com. Today’s piece is inspired by user =dynamo-xr.

Some of the coolest people in the world are lions. Simba, Aslan, Mufasa, Scar — all lions. I believe that anyone could be made more awesome after a Lionification (for those who don’t read the Lion King Fan Art Message Boards, Lionification is the process by which a human becomes a lion). Therefore, the most kickass thing ever would be if Slash and Axl Rose — from my favorite band, Guns and Roses — woke up one morning as lions! ROWR yeah!

Think of how a Lionification would enhance Guns and Roses classics. In “Welcome To The Jungle,” they could speak from experience, since they’d now be kings of the jungle. The song “Sweet Child o’ Mine” would be infinitely better for us Lioniacs as “Sweet Cub o’ Mine.” Also, a Lionification would explain what happened to Chinese Democracy all those years: Slash ate it, then coughed it out last year as a hairball. My mom says I’m creative!

Plus, what if someone gets unruly at a concert? That’s when Slash finally earns his nickname and bites the head off of the stupid punk. No one will call Guns and Roses dated or irrelevant now that the band is full of dangerous lions. Yeah, I can see the music critics now, writing about how Guns and Roses is too old or whatever, and then CRASH! Axl Rose pounces through the glass, destroys their computers and urinates on them. Now THAT’S Chinese Democracy!

A technical problem was brought to my attention on the Lion Boards. How can Slash play guitar when his fingers are paws? Well, that’s like asking how Simba will grow up to be king: with a lot of Lion-like perseverance. He won’t give up, no matter how hard it is, and eventually Slash will figure it out. I’ve got my faith in him. Come back to the GnR pride, Slash!

So that’s why Guns and Roses would be better as lions. You can pretty much make the same argument for Motley Crue and Poison, and I will as soon as I can. Right now, a lot of my focus is on the Lion Boards, trying to figure out if the guy who says he had sex with a lion is for real… and then I need to know what he knows.

  • Plus, if they were lions – Chuck Klosterman could write another 10,000 words on them that don’t really say anything.
