Axl sounded terrible, they need to raise the register and let him belt it out, it would be fucking amazing... his middle voice is weak but he is belting his high voice better than ever. Such a simple fix. It wouldn't hurt the song at all in fact probably sound better, think YSMANL vibe.... can Angus play anything other than e though... I joke a little but maybe not.

Came out smelling like a Rose

Everything's coming' up Roses

Rose by any other name would smell as sweet

Deadheaded Roses in bloom

All Roses go to Paradise City/Hell, choose one

One thing, though, is that November Rain is the most viewed GNR video and has almost twice as many views as Sweet Child. He doesn't wear leather in it. In the concert clips he is wearing a red suit jacket and red shorts. I suppose he could come out and wear that weird pirate suit from the wedding scene...

I can see your point. You are calling this a reunion tour and are picking it to be a reunion of the Appetite line-up and you want them to dress like they did when they are on the stage back then (but the part of the Appetite era that used the bandana and not the hairspray).

 I personally don't care if Axl looks modern or not. I don't think anyone can call what he wore during UYI modern. I am fine with him choosing what he wants to wear. If he wants to go back to the assless chaps or the loincloth- well more power to him... I am just disagreeing that leather pants is Axl's image. Axl's image has always been ever changing, though yes, the bandana follows him. I also disagree with the band going back and trying to mimic an old  look just to make people feel more nostalgic. I am not completely sold on this being a reunion tour. And if it is a reunion tour it is definitely not an Appetite reunion tour atm.

I honestly don't care what he wears either, my whole point in this topic was just to refute that it's lame to wear the old "rocker" outfits. I enjoy it, and I'm sure a lot of others do too, can't please everyone. I do think he should change to those pirate coats when singing november rain, he already puts on a sport coat to be reminiscent of it.  In the end, I'm fine with whatever, I never dug the whole biker short era but I dealt with it. I think we can all agree the leather era was better than that...

Sell. One of the best merch ideas ever. People just can't resist 'em.

amazing, where's our lighted bandanna's and top hats, only half joking

They sell them for like $20, and people eat them right up. It's a brilliant little merch idea. You'll get people refusing the $40 t-shirt but buying like three, four pairs of these dollar store horns. Even the bootleg t-shirt sellers outside the venue tend to sell them too (probably an identical quality product just without AC/DC logo on them).

lighted rose or toy gun would be cool too lol

Well, then you've been fooled. Those aren't the same clothes, and they're quite obviously 30 years older. Now pull out the 80s and 90s UYI photos where Axl's in bicycle shorts and catchers' pads, or the ones where Axl's got hair teased to the ceiling and purple eyeshadow, and tell me again that they look just the same. Leather jackets and jeans are pretty universal. But hey, we got it, everyone should strive to look the way they did 30 years ago, being a relic is awesome. The people at clubs who dress like they're in the 80s don't look hopelessly outdated at all, no, of course not.

is stupidity learned or innate  comparing some asshat at a club to a performing band, sure Axl tore it up in the clubs in his underwear... leather jackets and jeans? what about leather pants.... Talk about being a relic, they're a rock n' roll band in 2016, let that sink in you.... I'll be nice, you non rocket scientist you.

Except that this isn't a full out reunion tour and they're neither pretending they're 25 nor attempting to recreate those looks.

if he were caught in some 1987 time warp it would just be sad.

 

 

That's the definition of the reunion tour, and millions of fans would disagree that it's sad.

I guess you're right.  Everyone knows how to get a job, but they just don't want to, they enjoy tattooing their faces and collecting free benefits from the government.

If being overweight is stupidly easy to fix, and you have the answer to help tens of millions of people fighting obesity, if you're not a gazallionaire for sharing your infinite wisdom on how to easily lose weight, then you're stupid.  There's no excuse why you shouldn't be marketing your stupid-easy plan to lose weight on infomercials after midnight for $19.99 a pop. 

everyone knows how to lose weight, they just don't want to, they enjoy stuffing their fat faces more...

still looks like a boss

Axl shed the leather as soon as the 90s hit. Amusingly enough, the shows the majority of people witnessed were on the UYI tour. You know, when he was running around in little white or red spandex shorts with the occasional kilt? I am not sure we* want him to go back to what the majority probably remember him wearing.

 

*...well maybe some here wouldn't mind so much if he finds the fountain of youth somewhere and gets the body back he had then. Maybe.

Most people remember him from the videos, and I would love to see the kilt return once he's in tip top shape, no one needs a fountain of youth to lose weight

moderning dressing sure helped Axl look less embarrassing, it's all about the weight same for Vince

Yeah, tell me an overweighted guy in his 50's wearing outfits from the eighties is not the most embarrassing shit ever.

Axl still hasn't gotten here but if he keeps adding studs to his clothes, that's how he's gonna end up. 

you want him to dress like that now? lol

As if fat ass Vince Neil would look any better wearing anything else, besides I clearly said Axl should continue to lose weight, being overweight is stupid and stupidly easy to fix, no excuses....

Well, that's you. Stuck in 1988. I'm moving forward and I like 2016 Axl. He's not an 80's icon because he's not dead, he didn't die in the 80's. He's pretty much well alive and kicking and I don't wanna see him looking terrible like Kiss or Vince Neil, who are cringeworthy characters embarrassing themselves and the fans by wearing things that don't look good on them anymore.

Angus wear the same outfit as always because that's his trademark, but Axl have changed his looks every time he came back to the scene. He doesn't have an uniform. Maybe the only thing that remains is the bandana, as his trademark. But until he loses more weight in his face, the bandana is really a bad option now.

Vince Neil being cringe-worthy has nothing to do with what he's wearing... Axl trying to follow trends gave us dreads and an overly large jersey... I'd rather him look like the Axl from sweet child o' mine. It's a show, when he's on stage, a dancing chicken. What's more cringe-worthy? embracing your past and owning it or an old man trying to stay relevant by chasing the latest trend.... guess we have differing opinions on that.

Axl looks feminine here.

Axl keeps looking and sounding better, the girls look great too, is that a nipple 

Just now, cheesecake said:

What. No! 

I'm a fan of James as I am of Axl. And Metallica's music doesn't suit Axl anyway IMHO.

Totally agree with this!

The cowboy boots need to disappear and the whole 80's wash-up studded rocker outfit too. What he's wearing now for ACDC is the right thing (except the hats, sunglasses and excessive jewelry). As for shoes, really need comfortable ones, fashionable but good for a 2 hours show. Not sure the Giuseppe Zanotti ones are right for this but he could get a deal with any major sport shoes manufacturer.

Converse and Adidas would be great but I've seen him wearing Nike stuff.

Totally disagree, for better or worse he is an 80's icon, and part of that was his image. You expect Kiss to dress up, you expect Judas priest to look a certain way, Ozzy, hell even Angus... Axl should embrace is image, lose weight and rock the fuck out of his bandanna till his dying breath, I'd bring back the leather pants once he's in shape. He can wear whatever modern shit he wants in real life, but when he's on that stage people want to see the Axl Rose they remember, nothing to be ashamed of... be proud.

I can't wait for Axl to take over the reigns of Metallica next...

So he better start now . He can use this ability for GNR shows as well 

Paradise City with the bag pipes in place of the synth would be epic

No way...R&R Damnation is fantastic! Powerage is so underrated. The more Bon the better! 

I just don't feel it too much in this concert but I don't know the history of the band, so if it's a big part of ACDC than I agree it should stay, I just personally don't feel it.

He honestly is getting better every time this is not hyperbole, this is crazy
