"Reinventing Axl Rose" is Against Me!'s first full length album. It was released on No Idea Records, fronted by band member Tom Gabel. This is the first Against Me! release with a full band, including electric guitar and a full drum kit. The album's cryptic title is in reference to the growing culture of corporate rock, and more specifically the "comeback" concerts canceled in 2001 by Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose. The album contains five songs that were previously unreleased, as well as fan favorites from their previous two EPs, "Crime as Forgiven By" and "The Acoustic EP". It was recorded at Goldenstone Studios by Rob McGregor, who would go on to produce the band's next full length, "As the Eternal Cowboy".
