Ali Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) but,but he's not fat. he looks like most average 50 year olds.... Are you actually disputing that? I'd wager he is actually in better shape than the average 50 year old American man.AliWhat does 'American' have to do with it? Plenty of lazy, fat asses over in EU/UK too. How can anyone dispute he's fat/bloated? JFC open your eyes.A) Axl's American. Many American adult men are overweight. It's something of a national problem. Axl's almost 50 years old. It's about relativity. B) I never said anything about his weight or disputed that he may be overweight. Don't know where you got that from but,but he's not fat. he looks like most average 50 year olds.... Are you actually disputing that? I'd wager he is actually in better shape than the average 50 year old American man.AliHe's a rock star. Rock stars are not fat and certainly not average American men lol.Good to hear if it's true.Rock stars are not fat or overweight/bloated? Duff must have missed that memo in the early 90's. Same thing with Meat Loaf, Scott Stapp and Rob Thomas. They're human, so human issues are not beyond them.I really don't get it why people have the need to say "he's human" over and over after RIR. Sure he's human, rockstars are human, they're not fucking Martians. The image of a fatass is not really what comes to mind when you think of a rockstar now does it?I mean really, do you think of Axl as an average middle aged man? Sure, he's a man and he's middle aged but he's Axl fucking Rose.Do you really not get it? The problem with the image you described is that it isn't reality. It's a distortion. I just listed several rock stars that have had issues with their weight over the years, just like regular people (aka humans). It's not unheard of. That's reality, not your "image" of a rock star.Ali Edited October 5, 2011 by Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad he obviously didn't chose to do that before Rio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Meat Loaf (let's leave his music aside, but he was mentioned earlier) with his fat ass looks like a prototypical rockstar? Probably not. Sure the "prototypical rockstar" is just an "image" but it's in our heads. When you think "rockstar" you think "badass", not "Meat Loaf fat". People don't (or at least didn't) think of real rockstars as mere mortals, they are something more, forces of nature, idols. This image is partly what makes rock what it is. That's why I said a rockstar is not an average Joe. Edited October 5, 2011 by zbyram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Stapp and Rob Thomas are successful frontmen that by and large have been in good shape throughout their careers, but have had periods where they have struggled. There are no absolutes and "badass rockstars" are not above some of the struggles that the rest of us are subject to.Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaNutz Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I always wondered why Axl never got into Jiu Jitsu, with the whole Brazilian connection. From personal experience, if he trained every day, he'd start looking lean again in 2-4 weeks. This is the type of training that could have him looking lean and slender like the old Axl. Hopefully he lays off the steaks and maybe even hires a nutritionist to get him ready for the US leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ben9785 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 (edited) Good for him.. It's a good workout and the Royce family are obviously on top of what they do.Aside from concerts or fans it's just good for him to improve his own health and body.
