Pretty much. He still looks like shit IMO.. If he sings his ass off then that doesn't really matter but people that say he looks great for his age are just delusional. Look at his peers in bands around his age or older.. Everyone in Aerosmith, The Stones, Metallica, Megadeth, AC/DC, Anthrax, Pearl Jam, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, ZZ Top.. Basically everyone except Vince Neil is in better shape than him. He gets paid millions, it should be part of the job to do everything you can do to deliver a great product. Especially when tickets average $350 bucks. We have seen Slash and Duff play together hundreds of times over the years. If Axl comes out looking and sounding like shit, this whole thing will become a joke fast. I was just hoping he was going to give 110%, come out blowing people away and earning the respect and admiration back from people like me that were once great fans of the guy. I am still hoping this happens.. But as you said, simply the fact that he is standing next to Slash isn't going to do that.. Now maybe if he was standing next to Slash, Duff, Izzy and Steven Edited March 20, 2016 by Tom-Ass 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archtop Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 In just under three weeks we will have plenty to discuss, Yeah??? I hope Axl walks out with a killer voice, and owns the stage. Giving a huge F*** off to all the doubters. I want to discuss the shows, up coming tours and new material. I want to laugh at everybody quickly back tracking on washed up Micky Axl. Please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slash97 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Can we stop the shirt discussion and rather theorize why Axl was in Atlanta? Doesn't seem like the most obvious spot for him to be right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janrichmond Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I think the die hard Axl fans(you know the ones who think his shit don't stink) will say that he sounds great , looks good etc etc. I just really hope that he does , I don't want to think what Slash and Duff would feel if he's bloated and Mickey Mouse sounding....embarrassed , or feel pity for him....awkward?

Don't you think he's leaving it a little late to get in shape? I honestly don't know if that affects his voice though....meatloaf is fat and he still sings?

I would say in most cases it has an effect but there are exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janrichmond Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 He could have Lipo for vanity reasons and in turn if he feels good perhaps that could reflect in his vocal abilities . I'm not taking the piss btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he keeps on top of it he can continue to stay fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah good shape for the 'normal' bloke, bad shape for the lead singer in a massive rock band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked straight out creepy at times over the last 15 years.. That stuff never comes out looking right on guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlycosmos Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 He's dating Erin. After a while it will be Seymour's time. Then Slash and Axl will stop being friends and in approximately 20 years they will do a reunion - to play cards. #theories He looks good by the way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 The Bruce's (Springsteen and Dickinson) are older, and Jovi (roughly same age) and they all look fantastic. But it is what it is- bring on Vegas! I can't wait. Slash n Axl are back together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I still think Axl will look incredible on stage next to Slash...I think the reaction is going to be overwhelmingly positive when the first pictures make it online. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly used botox since 02 and probably a chemical peel back then, but I doubt anything else. His eyebrows aren't unnaturally high (face-lift), no cheek implants, nose job... Etc. He's let himself age pretty naturally in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
