    I know what you mean but I dont have any line yet, not even around eyes, which is the first place where they appear :shrugs:

    Erin looks like if she was 30 something.... Maybe she's got some touches of something, collagen or things that do not require surgery. I know she leads a healthy lifestyle and goes to gym quite often.

    Axl yeah, he totally had something done because if you see some pics of him from the mid 90's, he had wrinkles around his eyes already and he looked very tired. After 2010, he was looking bad again and now his face is like baby's skin.

    OMG pleaaaaaaaase :lol:

     

    Don’t know if I shared this before, but the xmas tree from last year with top hat and ornament. I’d love a GnR menorah for tonight but alas, nothing on their site for my people (my housemate celebrates xmas, and I love decorating for it). Happy Hanukkah to those celebrating!

    Huh, I don’t know why that posted as a reply. Sorry!

    Signed up with PayPal. Easy peasy. Felt I had to contribute after the lovely ass pics of Axl. Is that a thread? There needs to be a thread of Axl ass pics. 

    Anyway, I read a lot but don't post a lot, but need to thank y'all for the entertainment. And the porn.

    How old is Axl? 25? :lol:

    He was fine when he played those gigs. Too bad he had this happening and he had to tell about it. Its become enough fodder for the haters to say he should be left out.

    Do not insert tears there. Insert a huge fuck off. I dont cry for these idiots.

    How can you say we would have been complaining about this or what?? I certainly wouldnt have! Im not the type to judge things that didn't happen or that I havent seen/heard, especially when it comes to art.

    Steven is doing fine. Axl just hates him and doesnt want him in the band. It's been clear since day one. He said "what the fuck is he doing here?" when he saw Steven in Buenos Aires getting ready to play two shows instead of one. 

    I dont know why you people are trying to make excuses for him. The fans know the whole truth already.

    How long did Axl sit in that Grohl throne? I can't remember. And even then he could travel with the foot up. Backs are tricky fuckers. Sitting is the worst.

    I guess Adler could lay flat on his back and they could hang a kit over him like a chandelier if he gets sore. 

    That'd be worth the ticket price. 

    Either way, I'm speculating for sure.

    Also, Kurt wore the dress but it was in a non-fashion way. Like a mockery of heterosexuality but still in a macho way. He did it basically to provoke and make fun of somebody else rather than becuase he looked great on it. He totally didnt :P

     

    I think Kurt's reasoning was along the line of Iggy's.

    But given the misogyny of GnR, I don't think they'd agree.

    I think I'm having a different conversation, or misunderstanding everyone. 

    The point I'm making in regards to Axl's aesthetic is that it's influenced by his heroes. Elton John and Freddie Mercury specifically were flamboyant and fashionable in different ways. That they were/are gay has nothing to do with Axl's sexuality.

    By the time Axl was in little shorts, Kurt Cobain was wearing dresses on stage. 

    Both Elvis and James Brown were considered flamboyant in the late 50s early 60s,and embraced that. 

    Whether 70s glam was popular in America (I agree, it was part of a subculture) isn't relevant to my point, which is that Axl was aware of it and leaned heavily on it, both as a subversion, and that he was comfortable in it. 

    The kind of dudebro that would call that out as being unmasculine is the person not comfortable and secure in his sexuality and sexiness.

    Axl was comfortable in his sexuality. I'm not sure anymore if he's aware of his own sexiness.

    Like I said, Axl wasn't "accused" of being gay. It's also irrelevant to him being a sex symbol etc. The glam/androgynous style was "acceptable" and part of the rock stereotype in the 80s (it wasn't in the 70s). But his UYI persona was seen as "unfitting" to the hard rock macho stereotype because of a combination of things (the outfits, the costume changes, the piano, the diva behaviour, the "whining" etc). The whole talk had to do with this context.

    @dgnr had posted a cover of a Portuguese magazine, which depicted Axl with a pink hair bow. And I guess you've noticed this kind of insinuations in the "fellow poster's" posts, who speaks in the name of the hard rock purists and from the perspective of an old American male fan.

    Maybe it depends on the country, age group, type of fans etc and on what the focus was in each case. Here the drugs weren't a big issue, in the sense that  it was "common knowledge" that rock (and even pop) acts were doing drugs, so whatever negative talk wasn't specifically about them. There was a kind of hysteria about rock and drugs in the early 80s (and also about rock, especially metal, being "satanic", lol), but it had worn by the point GnR emerged. Even the riots weren't seen as something extraordinary, maybe because there were a couple of times when this kind of thing or similar had happened in rock concerts here (there was a big one in 1989).The mainstream press in the 90s wasn't concerned with them much, and when it did (mainly "lifestyle" magazines addressed to young adults), it treated them as "celebrity bad boys", which means not really bad. In general, they weren't perceived as "youth corrupting" and things like that.

    The talk about Axl's persona was inside the rock fan base/press/radio etc. and among the rock fans; it didn't have to do with the mainstream media. For example, for people (mainly male) who were fans of bands like AC/DC, Metallica etc the UYI version of GnR, especially Axl, was soft and effeminate  (again, this wasn't directly about Axl being gay).

    70s were the height of glam! Bowie, TRex, Slade...see Velvet Goldmine! Excellent movie about 70s glam. 

    Prince was another artist who was flamboyantly glam and unapologetically heterosexual as well. Sexy Motherfucker. 

    I think Axl was most comfortable mostly naked at that time. The layers of clothing now have more to do with his weight, trying to cover it, and it isn't really who he is.

    I think I'm being misunderstood. In talking about Axl's sense of style, whether consciously or not, he emulates Mercury, the New York Dolls, Bowie, and the glam scene in general. 

    It's subversive and sexy to bend gender styles. 

    And you can't not wrap yourself in gay style anyway, since it's gay men who design the vast majority of clothing. 

    None of this is to say that Axl is gay, because I don't know that. I believe sexuality is pretty fluid. 

    I believe that given how much of an influence Mercury had on Axl, of course we'd see Axl emulating his style. Theatrics make for a great front man, and both Mercury and Axl were/are great front men. Axl took what Mercury did and made it his own.

    Axl was a better dancer, though.
