liers Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Starting with the new band, every time someone new joined or left, axl changed his style.2002 - Fortus Replaces Paul, Axl Gets cornrows and Jerseys2006 - Bumble replaces Bucket, Brain is replaced by Frank, Axl wears cornrows in pony tail and gets goatee. Ditches jerseys.2009 - Ashba replaces Robin, Axl ditches braids and grows mustache.You think he does this for a reason, or is it just coincidence?

IncitingChaos Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Never thought about this. Maybe he tries to create an image for the band, and when someone new comes in he needs a new image. Maybe it's such a setback when he has to find someone new that we go years without seeing him and he makes some changes? Maybe he's superstitious?

Powerage5 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Don't forget that anytime there's a new member, it's also after a relatively long period of inactivity. I'd say that has more to do with it than band members, since we don't really see/hear from Axl when he's not touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 2006 - Bumble replaces Bucket, Brain is replaced by Frank, Axl wears cornrows in pony tail and gets goatee. Ditches jerseys.Frank did not join until 2009. Brain drummed in 2006 and 2007.No, Frank took over halfway through the European tour in 2006 and Brain hasn't played with the band since. I believe Franks first show was around July 1, 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val22 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 It's cool to change your look especially for a rock star.I actually would love it if Axl ditched the sunglasses and hat for concerts. It's hard to focus when you can't see his eyes. Sometimes he does take off the sunglasses during the show, but I would love just the band danner or nothing at all on his head.I just know Axl's boots have to be super comfortable for him to wear them and dance in them and do his sway in them for 3 hours.

tippin Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I've always wondered about that..I figured it was to keep people talking about his look, rather than the changing lineup..Suppose it could just be coincidence too though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ana_1991 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 It is a marketing strategy to avoid fans from full notice that someone is out of band. This way fans talk about Axl's new look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liers Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 My opinion was that it was to set up a look for the band. No doubt this was the case in 2002 with the odd braids/jersey look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
