It is a metaphor for the senselessness of war, or of a specific battle which really didn't accomplish much, which is all just "guns and roses". Guns are the tools, and roses for the graves. Really quite simple. Apparently, the metaphor was completely lost on the fucking masses, who didn't gather the meaning by simply looking at the album art for Appetite for Destruction, which was littered with comic illustration of "alien invaders" raping and pillaging humanity.
I immediately understood this when I was introduced to the band AT THE AGE OF FIVE. I confirmed it with my father, who was the son of a veteran, a veteran himself, and a published poet with a master's in English.
Goddamn, I never saw brilliance in the name of the band. Honestly, they took it too far. But whatever, they made money. What shreds my soul is that people don't even REALIZE what the phrase means, and instead turns into a fucking GnR, Black Sabbath, and Bon Jovi?! pissing contest.

Get the guns and ships mug.Bumper-sticker slogan of NRA supporters, which makes the obvious point that guns normally don't go off without some kind of human intervention, and that the real solution to violence is not in making any certain potentially lethal device unavailable, but in changing basic human nature from violent to peaceful.
"Listen, Buck, when the gun-control crazies protest the concealed carry legislation, all you got to say is 'guns don't kill people, people kill people'. I mean, it's just that simple. After all, when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns, right?"

Get the Guns of Navarone mug.Guns N Roses was the best band to grace this sweet earth from 87-93.
Just to silence the unknowing:
Axl Rose was late to shows because he needed a massuese because as a child, he was beaten, and needed someone to take care of his ankles which kept twisting.
Axl punched out that fan with a camera in St. Louis because earlier the "fan" (who was only there to make fun of the band) was taunting Axl and giving grief to those around him, and as we all know, Axl doesnt take motherFUCKIN shit from NOBODY. Damn he`s so hot...
None of the members were fired; they all walked out on the band, as so says Axl and Dizzy Reed, the keyboardist.
Axl is currently working on Chinese Democracy, which Gilby claims is close to finishing, but you never know. I await the album happily even if I`m waiting for a long, longgggggg time...!
