PirateRadio Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I admire his physical conditioning in 91-93. I have no idea how he was able to run on stage and sing at the same time. To me, that's not talent, it's just hard work. Kind of musically related, but not absolutely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree! Was there another more demanding performance in Music? The dancing singers, I guess...but do they really sing the way Axl would?!

I don’t believe any frontman has ever matched Axl’s stage performance during the UYI tour. I can’t even think of another singer who moves as much as Axl. Maybe Jagger, but Jagger never had Axl’s athleticism. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl actually sung although sometimes he'd sound a little out of breath. The fact that he was a smoker at the time makes it more impressive.

double talkin jive mfkr Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) ya it appeared axl was or could've been a great long distance marathon runner for him to run and sing and dance and keep going without losing his breath means he was in shape at a whole other level he looked really healthy during 91-94 - like pretty amazing, bad that he was having mental issues at the same time b/c health wise he was probably tip top Edited February 12, 2018 by double talkin jive mfkr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateRadio Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 The dude was light on his feet too! It's not like he was just jogging on a treadmill. He was running up and down ramps, jumping on monitors, dodging the statue standing string section, throwing the javelin, I mean the mic stand. He said he had weak ankles, but that didn't stop him either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGeneral Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Well, for 56 he still seems very healthy on stage. Has anybody else noticed that at the beginning of the NITLT he was wearing mainly sneakers and was moving/dancing much more on stage? Once he traded those for cowboy boots full time he was still moving around...but not at that level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWolllert Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 (edited) Admiring is the wrong word, but one thing that impressed me, is the yellow-rain-coat-incident in Rio 2011: One of the most - as for my taste - real performances of this song on that same evening.

It's hard to run as fast in them and we don't want another mishap! Because it would be back to the cast and Dave's big 'ol throne lol!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the problem with his boots is that are very pointed and is hard run with these boots, very uncomfortable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sneakers are comfortables and plus Axl's look much better and more modern, but maybe because the snakers don't have heel, he not feel comfortable, i read that shoes without absolutely heels don't is good to back bone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony adler Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Fiirst : there will never be another axl Rose; second , he left his family, brother and sister, to risk everything for his dream of being a rock n roll singer, not only did he endure homelessness and shitty living conditions ; he never gave up! It was like his tattoo said ‘victory or death’ , was and is an inspiration, I was told by youth group leaders and church goers and friends and parents, that people in rock n roll did drugs and were evil, especially him, at the time I believed it , but in high school he stood out to me, and I was told by smart people to never judge someone by what people say or what u hear , but by learning the truth for yourself , I’m glad I didn’t judge him until I was an adult( I was confused , how could someone’s music be so positive yet everyone said he was bad , people forget about their perceived reputation, it was horrible , in 88’) also the same could be said about the original band, they were driven, possessed muscly , and I love them all🤟👍🎩 Musically 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Srushti7 Posted February 17, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) The fact that Axl came through so much hell, trauma, pain, abuse (physical, psychological), came from absolutely nothing, a small town boy who worked his ass off and became the ultimate Rock God of the LA hard rock scene, and eventually the whole world. The depth of his songwriting, vocals, composition, his dedication to his band, the fact that he became clean for his band to not loose sight, etc. I absolutely fucking love his "I don't give a fuck" attitude. I love how he'll speak his mind without caring what anyone thinks of him. His performing during the Use Your Illusion tour inspires me. You can see he gives every bit of his body to performing. Axl Rose to me is hope. When I look at him, I see hope, I sense that no matter what life puts you through, there's always a way out. You just have to get up and put up fight for what you believe in. Those "rants" of him aren't rants to me. They're motivational speeches for me. There's things he's done that I don't think I'll ever get comfortable with but those things happened 30 years ago and I don't wanna hold anything against him. I'm sure he's changed and that he deeply regrets his actions. I don't care if this sounded cheesy/corny, this (and more) is what I feel about Axl Rose. And I'm happy he's back with Slash, Duff.

Scream of the Butterfly Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I admire Axl for the interviews he did in the early 90s, discussing issues related to his childhood. A lot of people dismiss everything he said, because he went overboard with regression therapy, past lives etc., but if you manage to look past the unscience of it, those interviews were great.

If Axl ever tries to be relevant again someone will bring up his past. I just hope in response Axl sings It’s So Easy at an award show...he could single handily end #metoo simply by not caring.

I adore the fact that he worked so hard and overcame all of the hardships that he faced. It's really impressive that (judging by the few recent interviews he's given) he's not all that bitter about his life. He seems to be genuinely happy with himself as well as with life despite all the times he has been knocked down and dragged through the mud. Thank you for pointing these things out! This is a lovely thread. Edited April 7, 2018 by RebelRose97 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
