“I wear a shirt onstage sometimes that say, TELL YOUR KIDS THE TRUTH. I was denied what happened to me, who I was, where I came from. I was denied my own existence, and I’ve been fighting for it ever since. There’s a screaming two-year old inside me who’s real pissed off and hides. He won’t show himself that often, even to me because I couldn’t protect him. The world didn’t protect him. Women didn’t protect him and basically thought he should be put out of existence. You have a right to fight for yourself.”


Axl Rose was a rape victim at the age of two years old.
