·47 min·4 clips
The host argues that Axl Rose's Mickey Mouse-like voice might actually help attract a new generation of rock fans.
The episode opens with the host dismissing claims that The Warning's performance at Pal Norte elevated the festival internationally, criticizing media outlets like Rolling Stone and MTV for hype. He argues Pal Norte isn't a top-tier global festival and doesn't need such narratives. The discussion then pivots to Guns N' Roses, specifically addressing widespread complaints about Axl Rose's vocal quality, often compared to Mickey Mouse. The host notes that Rose can't recover his youthful voice but suggests this isn't entirely negative. He highlights how children are becoming fans through these comparisons, citing examples like kids at Rata Blanca concerts. A key insight reveals that Guns N' Roses' cover of 'Live and Let Die' appears in the Shrek 3 soundtrack, linking the band to family-friendly media. The host explains that viral jokes about Rose's voice resembling cartoon characters might inadvertently recruit young listeners into rock and metal. He contrasts this with The Warning's media coverage, which he views as inorganic and overexposed. The episode emphasizes that Guns N' Roses' enduring appeal lies in its soundtrack presence and meme culture, fostering a new generation of fans. It concludes by reiterating that Pal Norte's international buzz comes from debates about Guns N' Roses' retirement and vocal issues, not The Warning's success. The host signs off as 'El Amo Metalero,' playing the band's cover as an outro.
