Guns N Roses Music Tour Dates: Explanation Revealed For Guns N .

whyaxl Explanation Revealed For Guns N' Roses Being Mega Man X5 Bosses .

Ever run through Mega Man X5 and get a flow in the names of the bosses? They're all named after Guns N' Roses members. Axle the Red is Axl Rose, Duff McWhalen (amazing name) is Duff McKagen, Izzy Glow is Izzy Stradlin, Grizzly Slash is Slash, and so on. The fact that they're named in this title is weird enough, but it's doubly odd considering the game was released in 2000, smack-dab in the core of Axl's cryogenic sleep/cornrow-growing hibernation.

When Mega Man X5 was localized, its eight Maverick bosses were given alternate names based on the titles of members of rock band Guns N' Roses. This particular change has since gone down in history as one of the more famous alterations in game localizations, ensuing years worth of line and speculation. Were the GnR names really necessary? Who, really, was responsible for the swap?
