Axl Rose Calls Vladimir Putin ‘Little Man’ in Support of Ukraine

Axl Rose strongly criticized Vladimir Putin and acknowledged Ukraine’s “noble and horrifying fight” against the Russian president in an if not chipper Guns N’ Roses tour update on Saturday (July 16). The rocker termed Putin a “callous, lying, murderous, little man,” according to Billboard and Rolling Stone.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, released by Putin in February, led many rockers to respond and many rock and steel bands to assistance the invaded state.

In other places in Rose’s take note summarizing Guns N’ Roses’ European leg of their 2022 trek that finished in Germany this week, the rock singer dedicated the tour to late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins. He also expressed gratitude to country singer Carrie Underwood.

Hawkins died at 50 in March. Underwood appeared onstage amid the GN’R jaunt that observed Rose experience troubles with his voice and pay a visit to a vocal coach.

In close proximity to the conclusion of Saturday’s concept, Rose added, “I’d also like to thank anyone for displaying this sort of like and guidance all through the tour for the men and women of Ukraine and their noble and horrifying combat for independence from an more and more totalitarian routine ran by a callous, lying, murderous, small man with out-of-date ambitions and no regard for human life.”
