It may have nothing to do with diet. He is fit that's for sure. It's incredible to see him move so fast on stage. He's awesome to watch. True that. We are not in the inner circle to know everything. It's speculation all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What @MillionsOfSpiders posted. 1 hour ago, cheesecake said: The PT I guess, if he does his job at all, only focuses on working out, which I think Axl doesn't need anybody to help him that much while being on tour looking at the amount of cardio he does on stage. The most important part in getting back in shape overall is one's diet. If that part's slacking, there's no way he can attain a better shape. I'm seeing on this leg of the tour, Slash is making somewhat of a progress, compared to Axl. Not only does he look better, he's killing it with his guitar on every show. Both are important. You can go on a diet and you will lose weight faster if you also exercise but if you just diet, you will look flaccid. The fat will not disappear, you gotta burn it out. Now, with all the cardio he does on stage, he must eat too much in order to keep the fat intact. 59 minutes ago, Kyles said: The guy could be on medication you know.

Lol, that's always the excuse Some meds can provoke some weight gain but not THAT much. Also, don't confuse fat with being bloated. That's mostly what they cause. Besides, Axl is only fat in the belly and the neck. His legs and arms are skinny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doktor Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The appearance of fat/bloating or whatever you want to call it isn't an indication of fitness levels either. Just have a look at an NFL line. 300+ pound monsters with massive bellies but they can run faster and push harder than probably most of us on here.

Both are important but diet plays a slightly more important role is shedding body fat than exercise. Having said that, I personally take care of both equally as a lifestyle as fitness and health is my passion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother in law is a weightlifter and is a very strong person and I can say pretty fit, nevertheless he does not take care of his diet hence his huge belly and overall a fat person.

Is it the same basic setlist that Axl's last version of GnR was playing on tour - except for Coma? Yes the same basic setlist. They added Double Talkin' Jive into the setlist, they brought back Sorry which hasn't been played since 2012. At first it was fun to see Slash playing these songs I'm not gonna lie, but from Axl's pov it must be extremely boring. You can say that there is not much in their back catalogue worth playing, I mean at least without Izzy. They also tried to invite Steven Adler for a couple of shows but he declined because he doesn't want to be forced to play just two songs anymore, but Angus and Angry Anderson performed at one of these shows playing covers like Nice Boys and Whole Lotta Rosie. That's what we are looking at in the future, few guests here and there. Edited February 23, 2017 by Silent Jay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and obviously his lack of preparation, no rehearsals, no soundchecks, yada-yada A cold... riiight... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's NOT an excuse, certain medication can cause weight gain. Men always put fat on around the organs first (their belly), not their legs n arms. Ever seen a fat armed and legged man. Women put weight on their thighs and bottom 1st. Have you been to his concerts and seen him up close, he isn't even that fat?

Silverburst80 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Went to the show, it fucking kicked ass. The one-two punch of openers Easy and Brownstone, My Michelle, Estranged, NR and Nightrain were the highlights for me. Axl was up and down vocally, but never in the energy department and still leaves the stage drenched in charisma when he leaves it, handled the mic cutting out during This i Love like a boss. Duffs bass is really up there in the mix and sounded awesome, Slash was fucking unbelievable my wife who's a casual fan just kept turning to me and saying " fuck that was cool " or " he's amazing " after his solos. Fortus impressed me i have to say and the others...well they did their jobs i guess! If the boys come to your town go see em, seriously you won't be disappointed.

Did somebody on here say they wish he was dead? I think some people think it's funny that others constantly make excuses any time something negative is associated to Axl. Bad performance - he must have a cold. Not in shape - it's the medicines fault. Some people see Axl as an actual God who does no wrong. It's s weird phenomenon. Just because a guy is an amazing frontman doesn't automatically mean he is an amazing human. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
