Popular Post cooker Posted January 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hey guys, I was curious what random things people find admirable about Axl not relating to music. The big thing for me is his shunning of celebrity. Outside of a few tweets, which usually have no "Look at me" content, he really doesn't play that typical Hollywood game. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Modano09 Posted January 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2018 His whole reclusive thing. Do what he wants, talk to who he wants, show up when he wants, doesn't cave to pressure. It's frustrating as a fan that wants more from him but if I were in his shoes with fuck you money I'd probably be the same way. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axl666 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 He is very resilient and dedicated to the pursuit of his own vision. He is also someone who seems to be able to take legal pressure in his stride that an ordinary person would find difficult. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Georgina Arriaga Posted January 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2018 That he lives in the same house for the last 25 years and his kitchen looks normal...I like that...I don't know why 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post downzy Posted January 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2018 His sense of humour and ability to tell a good story. Plus cracking Trump jokes in Trump lovin' parts of US of A. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post alfierose Posted January 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2018 I love how resolutely stubborn he has always been (even when I've not agreed with his stance). I admire his loyalty to those he considers friends. He used to sport one of the best beards ever. The leather kilt deserves a mention too. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvanG Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 His ability to grow old with elegance instead of jumping on the plastic surgery bandwagon like some Hollywood chump. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I admire how he used his RS cover feature to spread awareness about child abuse and assault. This required him to open up about a vulnerable subject, when he could've just used the feature to build on his untouchable rock star mythology. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gackt Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 He manages to stay elusive enough where he remains a big deal in terms of rock vocalists having celebrity status, compared to people like Bret Michaels, Sammy Hagar, Sebastian Bach & Vince Neil who nobody really cares about if they show up somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson87 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Just the way he carries himself. He does what he wants, dresses how he wants, says what he wants and he doesn't give a shit about any of it. I really relate to that for some reason 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lies They Tell Posted January 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2018 I admire his life's story. There's plenty of famous people in the world, but only few people have such an interesting life's story. The way they started off from the streets and became the biggest band in the world. And the way Axl became one of the most hated rock stars on the planet and still managed to rise from all that and blew everyone away fronting AC/DC. That's just so damn cool to me! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaveleft Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 You gotta respect a man like Axl Rose. One of few truly independent but popular to a certain level people today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Boy Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I like that he speaks his mind about his disdain for Trump and the Republican government, without caring if that potentially alienates some of his followers.. Of course he was always outspoken, but now his opinions are more well formed when it comes to politics and he doesn't hold back. none of the others are very vocal about U.S. politics as far as I know. Duff might have said some stuff in his columns, I'm not sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trin9498 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Be interesting to hear what he thinks about good ‘ol Axl from the 90s. I wonder if he thinks “wow....I really was a dick back then” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
