liers Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Title should be "Reason For Axl's Appearance"... I should proof read more. I came to a realization yesterday that makes sense to me, so I figured I'd share it.Why would axl ditch the hats, jacket, and mustache? This is the almost the longest he's had the same look, pushing 5 years. With every lineup change, he changes his look. In 2001 he had the dragon shirts, 2002 he has the cornrows, 2006 he had the other cornrows, and now he has his current look.The reason? He wants to "reinvent" himself. He doesn't want to look like the same axl who played alongside slash, bucket, or the other former members. He wants this band to have a look that you recognize. He wants to be known as the singer of CURRENT GnR, not the singer who played alongside slash, ran everyone out, then took years to create 14 songs.So I don't think axl will be ditching the hats, jackets, mustache, or extra chins anytime soon unfortunately, because he's making this his signature look.

Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 He wants to "reinvent" himself. Reinventing Axl Rose.Or maybe he's getting older and realized that in his late 30s to now, that kilts and bike shorts aren't a good idea anymore.I think you are maybe thinking too much into the Axl's appearance thing because his appearance changed so much even with the original lineup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner927 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Pretty sure it's just because he's trying to hide his gut and the fact that he's aging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val22 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 God, who cares why Axl dresses like he does?Obviously he likes it, so it's stupid to keep beating this dead horse topic to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuzeville Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 He won't take the hat off because his hair look like straw.He won't take the glasses off because his eyes because of the bags underneath, and he was not one to age gracefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
