Mad Brad’s RnRPS: Guns V Roses Pt2: Petals & Thorns

Every rose begins with a bloom🌹… but every bloom hides a thorn.

The Rock & Roll Psycho Circus returns with the second and final chapter of the 🔫 GUNS vs ROSES🌹 mini-series. After following the trail of gunpowder and consequence in 💨 POWDER & SMOKE💨 , we now step into a very different world—one where love, beauty, heartbreak, and remembrance are told through one of rock music’s most enduring symbols.

Across six chapters, 🥀PETALS & THORNS 🥀follows the life of the rose. From its first bloom and the beauty of the garden, through distant deserts and darkened petals, to the pain of the thorns and finally the quiet memories left upon a grave.
