Well the wikipedia article says this about the inspiration for the title:
"The album's cryptic title is in reference to the growing culture of corporate rock, and more specifically the "comeback" concerts canceled in 2001 by Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose. "
A response from GNR regarding this album is irrelevant because this band Against Me are irrelevant.
Yeah, I always knew with a bunch of pretensious, indie fucks like them, the album title was a piss take, not a tribute; so fuck them. Axl Rose > "Against Me"
Right. But anyone who wants to give respect to Axl wouldn't do it through a lame album title.
Let your music do the talking.
Otherwise, I suppose its a good way to get some attention and 'controversy' for your band, especially when your music isn't up to quality.
That's why I hate these "indie" bands who think they are icons 'rebelling' against corporate rock or whatever rubbish like that.
