Axl Rose hailed as hero

[HARD ROCK UNIVERSE]

Guns N' Roses star Axl Rose has been hailed a hero after helping to save a neighbor's home from last year's California wildfires. An unidentified woman contacted Los Angeles TV network KTTV to pay tribute to Rose, and her comments were read out during a news broadcast on Tuesday morning.

The woman, who lives next door to Rose in Malibu, credits the rocker and his manager Beta Lebeis with hosing down flames that threatened to destroy her home last November.

In a statement, the relieved neighbour told the news broadcast, "They saved our house together with the firefighters... They just hosed down whatever fire there was in the trees, in the palm trees, and they saved our house, they literally saved our house."

Rose also saved his own home, which was damaged by the fire.

A hero with a hose? Heroes save lives not homes!

Think of all the car machanic heroes that save cars daily.
What about smoke detectors that have saved homes...are they heroes? I hardly think so. I was in a store ( Fort Daul gifts) back in 1969, it was a souvenir store in ludington michigan. I noticed Smoke coming through the air conditioning vents in the store so I told the store clerk, 15 minutes later it was burnt to the ground and around 20 some people that was in the store were unharmed. Am I a hero? I'm pretty sure people would have left the store if they notice the souvenirs that they wanted to buy were on FIRE!

I was 11 years old (without a big hose) and nobody called me a hero.
The store was rebuilt right away and I visited it about 3 years ago, the same family was still running it, so I told them who I was, and that I was the one who reported the smoke coming out of the vents in the store back in 1969, still no word "hero" was used. Guess if I would have pissed on their store I would be though.

I even bought a magazine before I left the store, it was a horror magazine that had a few nipple shots in it from old vampire Hammer films. While watching the fire from across the road my dad seen a nipple shot in the book as I was flipping through the pages. He told my mother that I need to return that book, it wasn't right for a child to look at. My mom then told him that I bought it from the store that was on fire and if he wanted to return the magazine to go ahead. At that point he ripped it up and threw it into the sidewalk trashcan.
I saved 20 some lives that day but lost my nipples doing it and I'm still no hero. Eat that Axl.

P.S. Axl was worried IF the next door neighbor's house caught fire that it would threaten to flame his own house next. He was looking out for himself the whole time....or just wanting to use his hose on another neighbor lady, or both...your pick.

This should be called...
"AXL USES HOSE ON NEIGHBOR LADY"

While I see your point, not everyone would have helped battle a fire by actually getting in there and hosing down flames. While we don't know the extent of what he really did, I am sure he was putting himself in harms way if there was any chance of fires claiming homes. You also have to remember that there are personal possessions, like family photos and sentimental pieces that can never be replaced by insurance. If someone personally helped save my home and my possessions, I would consider them a hero.

Not the answer we looking for, next!

I watered my lawn last summer to prevent it from burning...I'm a hero! ;D

I'd say Axl was just looking after his own ass.

It looks like he did a good thing & I can see why the neighbor is appreciative but it also appears he did have his own reasons to jump in and help
