Crash Diet Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Have never seen this in 13 years! It's very strange how Axl looks much closer to the 90's Axl than in all videos and photos from this gig (Rock in Rio 3).Holy shit this is 1992 Axl but al ittle bit older (really not too much)Completely different than the other pictures from RIR3Thanx for this post 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 This is my favorite concert of all time! I can't tell ya how many times I've watched this showNot including the small Vegas show, the Rio 2001 gig was the best moment in Nnw Gn'R's history. from this moment onwards, my interest evaporated. The BF Frank DjAsh era Gn'R is the worst. Slash & Duff era Gn'R will always be the best times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinyrobot Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 axl looked ok until 2006. he's been obese since 2008.Obese?!!My god some people are completely delusional or have no idea what the definition of obese is. 5-10kgs outside of a healthy weight? Sure, obese ? Get the fuck outyou're wrong, axl is obese.axl has way more than 5-10kgs outside of a healthy weight, way more, he's easily 100 kg (220 pounds) :Does anyone know why his facil hair changed color? Like his eyebrows are almost non existant and beard, it used to be pretty red, dark... now it looks bleached O_o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broskirose Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) I just came across this. Haven't seen it before. I feel like there has to be a treasure trove of images from this show that we must be missing. It was a huge festival and GNR's big comeback.

RandallFlagg Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 He is semi-smiling in those, some progress in the Axl is Happy fan photos. Well Tyler ain't really just a fan but he's still not royal company enough for Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyrobot Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Axl was so perfect in 2001. Perfect hair, perfect shape, perfect style, and perfect voice(IMO) & stage presence. Can't believe some people called him fat then. Those people must think he is obese now haha. When I saw them on Vegas New Years going into 2002, I was mind blown. Seemed like Axl and the new band had unlimited potential.He's always been such a perfectionist, I can't believe he decided to give up and let himself go. I think he could get back in 2001 shape in 4-5 months, if he really wanted to. He should let me be his personal trainer, I KNOW I could get him back to where I'm sure he wants to be. Just light weights and stairmaster step machine everyday. No more alcohol and definitely no more prescription drugs. Those prescription drugs are bad news. I can just tell by looking at him now, he's not happy. Hiding behind layers of clothing, sunglasses and hats because he's self conscious of how he looks. No wonder he hardly moves on stage anymore, he must be hot as fuck with all those clothes and accessories on. Why not do something about it? It's not too late to turn things around. He'd feel so much better and more confident if he got back in shape.Because when you are depressed and going under stress, pressures, when you are a ball of nerves and anxiety, nothing can motive you to get off your butt and exercise.It's lack of dopamine or whatever..You know you need to work out, you know you need to go on a diet and you know you look like shit. BUT the death pulsion is holding you back and very little can be done against that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinyrobot Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I wonder why back then, when he was a bit chubby, he would still be careless showing off his not-so-perfect-anymore body and nowadays that he's got slimmer wears all that crap that covers him up....

MrSoftie Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I wouldn't have called him chubby, to me it just looks like he was starting to fill out due to age. His 2006 body was insane though... Get back on the steroids Axl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Here's another cool one (at least I) hadn't seen before.I used that pic in a signature I made for someone here a long time ago, but it's not often posted.I've never seen a bigger version, which is probably why.

RandallFlagg Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 He wasn't really fat at all in rio 2001, for Axl standards maybe cause we were used to seeing him slim and toned, he is toned in the pics. 2006 he was in real good shape, quite a bit of muscle and leaner, 2010 less muscular and a bit heavier but in fair good nick for a damn 50 year old then again not every 50 year old can live like Axl. Now he seems happy but not focusing on his physique as much, I'd say the lack of cardio hurts the performances more but he's still able to sing decently and his happiness is most important in a human sense.Decently but for what he know the great man's capable of it's been no higher than decent.

Did manage to find out it's from Rolling Stone. Perhaps they have more photos laying around that will never see the light of the day. Who knows...
