Guns N’ Roses are strangely a major part of the political conversation surrounding the federal government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic these days.
The president recently toured a factory in Arizona that makes N95 face masks, of course not following guidelines to wear a mask himself, which made it all too fitting that factory workers were blasting GNR’s cover of “Live and Let Die.”
The band are reacting to the story by selling shirts reading “Live N’ Let Die with COVID 45” as a nod to what they think our fates could be while living in Trump’s America. The shirts were made to benefit charity.
As the website notes, “100% OF NET PROCEEDS WILL BE DONATED TO MUSICARES.” Get your shirts here.
Also, Guns N’ Roses lead singer Axl Rose has also been making social commentary on his Twitter recently. Rose posted about Treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin, who for some reason decided it was appropriate to tweet back? We’re doomed, huh?
It’s official! Whatever anyone may have previously thought of Steve Mnuchin he’s officially an asshole.
