spicer Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2045028/Guns-N-Roses-frontman-Axl-Rose-unrecognisable-piling-pounds.html?ito=feeds-newsxmlHe was once a pin-up for millions of rock and roll fans throughout the world.But it seems Axl Rose's poster boy days are over, judging by photographs of the 49-year-old singer performing with the band in Brazil last night.The Guns N' Roses frontman was unrecognisable as he took to the stage at the Rock In Rio music festival, with his attempts to cover up his larger frame in a coat failing miserably.Rose appeared to have gained a significant amount of weight in recent months, with his slimline frame at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards a distant memory.The rocker teamed his yellow coat with a black hat and sunglasses, with the whole ensemble contributing to his bizarre appearance.It's not the first time Rose's weight has sparked concern, as he previously shocked fans with his overweight look in January 2010.His size also led to him being labelled a 'fat Botox-faced wig wearer' by rival rocker Scott Weiland.But his weight gain appears to have continued over the past year and a half, with Rose looking entirely different as he performed in Brazil.Gearing up for the performance, Rose told eager fans he was concerned that the pouring rain would make the stage treacherous for the concert.He said: 'Good evening… good morning! Please bear with us and give us a little second here to figure out what to do about not falling on our asses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Glow Inc. Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I don't see how he looked "entirely different" from last year...He...sure sounded entirely different though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Horse Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Maybe the clown who wrote this article forgot that raincoats are worn to protect yourself from the reain not to hide someone´s weigh.He was more or less like 2010, I don´t understand why they insist on Axl being fatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl Rose aka God Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 It's 2002 all over again. Axl isn't going to take this shit. In 2006-2010 Axl was getting the benefit of the doubt, for which he was putting on awesome shows. Now everyone's insulting the hell out of him...I'm concerned.

Ali Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I don't see how he looked "entirely different" from last year...He...sure sounded entirely different though.He doesn't at all look different to me. He looks like he did last year. If anyone sees any real difference, I think they're seeing things.Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 We've noticed Axl's gained some weight, but with the raincoat and closeups from the side, it looked worse than it was. He might have gained a few in a year, but the 2010 photos are out there and they're not all that different. We've talked about Slash packing on the pounds too. If Axl had his beard going, no one would be commenting about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketQueen1985 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 It's the dailymail. Now that Michael Jackson is dead they have to find someone else to write shit about.They make it sound like Axl's extremely obese when he's simply not. Once he lost the yellow coat he looked just fine! C'mon does this picture make you think "wow, Axl's sure been pilling on the pounds!"It's the shape of the coat that makes it look like he's a lot bigger than he really is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
