Lumikki 2,383 Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) I'm interrupting the Axl-related sadness and worrying for a moment to post some new old pics by Mark Weiss I came across earlier. I love it when we get new pics from back in the day or at least better quality versions of old pics. This one for example. I've seen other pics from that photoshoot, but never this one. He's still such an adorable little puppy here lol. Bigger and better version of this famous picture: Also from the same day, also adorable, and in better quality than the versions I had until now: More huge ass Axl pics under the spoiler tag, because it's actually Slash's birthday... Spoiler ... so I guess I should actually be posting the Slash pictures Mark Weiss shared: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE GUITARIST ON THE PLANET! Wonder if we're gonna hear anything about his birthday this year? I still remember Slash's birthday last year very well, it gave us a lot to talk about and speculate in the thread back then Would be cool if Axl could remember his Twitter password again to publically wish Slash a Happy Birthday, as Slash has done for him more than once, but I'm not holding out much hope Bonus band pics because they're really cool: Edited July 23, 2017 by Lumikki 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
killuridols 8,121 Posted July 23, 2017 LOL @Frey I think that @alfierose may be right and that picture is part of Sante D'orazio collection and probably that is his apartment (not Fernando's). I have found evidence of previous posts from Sante on IG where that picture appears in a similar environment and then at his studio: ------ Regarding Axl's babysitters.... yeah, I guess this has been going on his entire life but it has to do with the fact that he became a jewel for the industry when he was young and for thaf reason they wanted to keep him safe (especially during those years when he had the spark and looked like he was still productive). After the UYI tour was over all his plans went to hell. His plan was marrying Stephanie and start a family with her. Settle down for a couple years and then go back to the studio. But none of that happened and from that year on, it is like a mountain of shit imploded on him. So he's probably right when he says Beta saved him because he was on the verge of suicide many times and the only people he had around were TB. The problem I see here is that once the storm passed, Axl was not able to rebuild himself and become independent for good. I think the right moment was when he turned 35 or even 40..but instead, he went into more shit, changing his appearance, wanting to replace the whole band and all the rest we know very well. So, what @Tori72 says is not crazy either.... We cant blame TB for all he's done bad. It was on his hands to change his life and he couldnt. What TB might have done wrong is not encouraging him to seek the peace with Slash and Duff earlier... giving into every tantrum, obsession and bad behavior he indulged in... but not even in these cases I can say to which extent it is their fault. Axl is a very difficult guy and its impossible to know for us which is the reason for his loneliness. I dont see a nice future for Axl in the situation he is right now, unless he gets a family of his own, his years ahead will be very lonely. The good part is that he has money and can pay people to take care of him (lots of people cant do this) but then again, you cant buy love and old age is very hard when you dont have people who truly love you. I really hope the TB's children grow to love him and maybe there there will be light at the end of the tunnel. Thats all I can think of. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alfierose 4,550 Posted July 23, 2017 @Lumikki thanks for posting those photos. I love the top one, Axl looks so young, at peace and optimistic somehow (I know he probably wasn't at all ) I may have found a new profile picture if I can work out how to resize it.

Ratam 3,163 Posted July 23, 2017 6 hours ago, Frey said: Do we know for sure that's Fernando's living room? I watched that video and was like.... "Why does Axl have a naked picture of himself in his NY apartment? " "No wait, doe he even still have a NY apartment? Maybe it's Sante D'Orazio's apartment. So Sante D'Orazio has a giant picture of naked Axl in his living room? " "But actually, doesn't Fernando live in NY too? And he was the one who made the video, SO DOES FERNANDO HAVE A GIANT PICTURE OF NAKED AXL IN HIS APARTMENT?!!! " .... Jeeeeeez. This weirds me out. I don't know how to post an Insta story, but someone already made some screenshots Yeah, he seemed pretty embarrassed to me too. I agree about the entourage being useless and not taking care of him. What really struck me about this video is just how helpless, overwhelmed and exhaused Axl looks. Like a frail old man. That moment when he just leaned on the lamp post there in a resigned sort of way was really awkward to watch. The guy seriously needs some better nannies/care takers. In my opinion the fraitly in Axl is much drink,this problem made him dependant and frail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never seen this one before, thanks for sharing Poor Axl. That's the same photoshoot where he was also holding Slash bridal style and then Slash turns around and cuddles up to Steven Or maybe it was the other way round and Axl grabbed Slash and was ready to carry him off to get him away from Steven Edited July 23, 2017 by Lumikki 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

killuridols 8,121 Posted July 23, 2017 @Georgina Arriaga lol I thought somewhat the same but intellectual is not the word. More like too artsy for Fernando's lifestyle and character @Lumikki those pictures belong to an auction Mark Weiss is running right now. I have forgotten now but there's a website where you can go place your bid for them and this will run until August 13th. I must say I have tried to purchase these pictures before but they always fuck me up with the bidding. It gets too high for me Im frustrated by seeing those pictures. He's had them for years and I really want one of them at least. The regular price is 1500 dollars!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Impeccable like white linen Your father, he shared a cool one (but only because he has to deliver some news to you later) This random guy sorts of like you.... What's your book about, Eddie? I have never seen this picture before... You love your ginger (according to Andy) Yo' Slash, here's your new mom, happy birthday!!! Here's a happy birthday card from the (work) office... And yet another one...... This one is very LOL but ok.... at least he remembered And last but not least.... Don't forget today it is Stephanie's Birthday as well.... Of course, Slash hates sharing a birthday with her .
