Axe a Bunny

[Thanatopsis]

Okay I have two questions...

First of all, since when do people refer to Alexi as a bunny? Where does that come from?

and on the side, where did calling a guitar an axe come from?

the infamous bunny photo has alexi with what seems to be bunny teeth. its just funny. as for an axe......i dunno....

 

[BodomiC]

well, about the axe, there is no origin of it I think, and even if it is, its unknown to most of us, but I think that word guitar needed some equivalent or something so ppl started it calling like that. In Poland we often use word "oar" or "paddle" (dunno which expresess Polish one best )

Alexi has cute rabbit teeth :Spin:

And "axe" is probably used just because it sounds more "tr00" or whatever

 

[Raistlin1980]

I think it was Lantern Nut who mentioned about Alexi looking like a rabbit at first. Am i right?

 

[BodomiC]

yes youre right

 

[Dred]

what the shit is "tr00"?!?

 

[Lanterns]

I think it was ZSUZSA who first said "Angry Rabbit"

And tr00 means true, as in true metal etc.

 

[Lanterns]

Can you put up the "infamous bunny photo" please?

Here you are

Btw: there's MANY photos in which you can clearly see that Alexi has RABBIT TEETH

i think axe comes from back in the days when Kiss was popular. One of the guitarists (i think gene simmons but im not sure) played a guitar that was shaped like an axe.

 

[Tut Ankh Amon]

gene simons played a guitar?

 

[MegaDan]

Gene has a bass shaped like an axe, but I don't think that's where the term originated.

HAHA YEAAAH BUNNY PIC!!!!!!! i still dont understand the "tr00" thing. 0's are numbers and not letters. is this the same logic as "j00" (which i understand even less than tr00)??

Hehe....that's a cool pic. I was wondering about the angry bunny thing myself.

Another cool thing about the pic is the fact Janne looks like a man possessed in the background.

 

[Thanatopsis]

Thanks for the picture. I hadn't seen it.

And I was wondering if Kiss's axe bass had anything to do with it...
its possible...

 

[BodomiC]

j00 and tr00 and l33t and b30thez are just simple variations of replacement letters with numbers, nothing more, it just looks more hiphop and loosse

Haha, I just noticed that myself.


And I'm pretty sure the term 'Axe' comes from the fact that jagged-edged electric guitars resemble Axes generally.

yes but what do they mean??

 

[Fenrir13]

j00=you
tr00=true
l33t-'leet' or slang for "elite".
b30thez=I am assuming this is "brothers." It's been awhile since I was 100% fluent in l33tspeak.

actually the SG is probably where it came from. . .a jackson guita rlooks nothing like an axe at all. . .

and SG however. . .well. . .just take a look for your self

now flip em upside down. . .and you got a wooden medeival battle axe type thing.
