stella Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) I puzzled out which building was Axl's, once - it's a pretty sweet location, right down the block from the Sunset Strip and a lot of the clubs and the Rainbow. At that time Tower Records would have been open and that would have been right there, too. And now there's a really cool bookstore there too. West Hollywood would have been a new city at that time, too - it split off from LA in like 1984 to become its own city, so there probably would have been a lot of excitement about living there. And amazing to think that for the first year or so of GnR's big success, he was living right under the nose of all those rock fans on the Sunset Strip. In the Internet age people might have figured it out really quickly. 99% sure this is is the building - not posting the address, and I figure that since he hasn't lived there in like 27 years it's not overstepping.

Redheads typically have very little melanin and they often have blond retinas (no joke), so they actually are more sensitive to light. So the blackout curtains and such could be for that, more than anything else. In the photos where Axl is outside and offstage during the day, he's usually got a baseball cap or another type of hat, plus sunglasses - yes, there's the rockstar vibe, but it's also likely to be to protect his skin and eyes from the light. Plus people who are up at night and sleep during the day (whether that's due to choice or due to shift work, like firefighters and nurses who work night shifts) do try to block daytime sunlight from their rooms so they can sleep. And since we know Axl has been a night owl, there's another pretty boring explanation for it. The black apartment was mentioned in Del James' article with Axl in Rolling Stone in, like, 1989. That's been known. There's a video of the apartment, even. No black walls, but the appliances and furniture are all black. Thx for the explanation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post traciij Posted March 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) He lived in the Sunset Towers, the 11th floor, if I remember correctly. The street Above Tower records. My good friend and her husband were two doors down...his front door was a mess, but other than that they had no complaints and rarely saw him...this was 1990-1991. I worked at a store for a few years on Wilshire in Beverly Hills, and saw him a few times because he was buying his Grandma a fur coat, he told the sales person he always said he would buy her a fur when he got famous. Those were the days when the day after Thanksgiving, PETA would line the streets of BH and threaten to throw fake blood on fur wearers (a side note).

Seriously though, it was sweet of him to think of his grandma and buy her something she always wanted. It really does seem like he was a real grandma's boy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your friend have any opinion on the conflict that supposedly happened between Axl and his neighbor? IIRC the neighbor said that she hit him during an argument; Axl said that the woman had been harassing him, and the charges ended up being dropped by the cops. I always wondered what the rest of the neighbors on the floor thought of that. And ugh. PETA. I actually know someone who *was* hit by paint by them years ago. I am a strong supporter of humane issues but I detest PETA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tori72 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I just love sweet stories about Axl. Axl buying his Grandma a coat she always wanted, Axl calling back an old friend back right away... So nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlight Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Did Axl live in that house in West Hollywood until probably 1990-91 right? Then he moved into the house in Malibu where he lives now. It looks quite simple tbh judging by the pics posted before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerenityScorp Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Sometimes I wish Axl didnt put My World into UYI 2 Cause Dont Cry alt already perfect to end the album FFS!
