nambis Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 i don't think his weight has changed at all. it all depends on the lighting and the angle.I don't think he was ever overweight in the first place, the media is just publishing unflattering and photoshopped (in the case of the EXTREME fat pic posted in the UK tabloid) pictures.even if he's not really into working out etc., he still looks fine... if he wants to get rid of the belly that pretty much any 50-year old man has, he should just wear a corset thing on stage.

Powerage5 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I'm sure he's dropped a couple of pounds since Rio now that he's back on tour, but it's nothing drastic, maybe 10 pounds. Still, he wasn't overweight to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks to have a little more space clothes wise as well. I agree about the media publishing the most undesirable angles and so on, though.Only in Gn'R world people think someone can get thin in 1 week. With the assistance of a Brazilian fitness expert and Axl’s determination? Absolutely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, he wasn't overweight to begin with.Haha, it's physically impossible to lose 10 pounds in a week. I mean, scientifically impossible because of how much energy you can extract from a pound of fat and how much energy you need in that time period. Some might say they have lost very much in a week, but it is almost always due to the loss of water when not eating as much that will bind the water in your body. Anyways, he is clearly not fat but a bit bloated in the face. That's all. The big problem here is THE CLOTHES! They fit him terribly which makes him come off much worse than he should. All of his bandmates have well-fitting, nice rock clothes. He should take a look at them! Axl has got ill-fitting jeans, too large in both directions, a jacket that he wears terribly, a large t-shirt sticking out from underneath it in a bad way, and an unflattering bandana. And that hair is not doing him any favors. And the mustache... He could just go for shopping and a haircut when he has a day off and look ten times better. Axl Rose always had STYLE goddammit!If he wouldn't have been out of breath in song one of the concert, nobody would have made a big deal about his weight.Yes they would. It's a superficial world and Axl has showed off a perfect body through a lot of his career. And also, people like to talk shit about the man.

Axl Rose always had STYLE goddammit!I disagree. Axl´s got a wicked sense of style.Not normal and generic though. It´s cool to have baggy t-shirts and a bandanna. Cool that he decided to grow his hair longer again. Jeans are also awesome although he could rock them tighter like in 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He basically wore the same type of clothes at times that year - but the difference is miles wide. Take a look at all of the band greeting the fans at the end of the concert - he looks like an old slob with no style. The others look great. Especially Fortus.Edit: This is actually a reason I am a bit concerned for the man. He has always had style, and all of a sudden he doesn't seem to care. Not even a clothing change for four concerts. It's like he doesn't care anymore about stuff he used to care about. Edited October 12, 2011 by Changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonah Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 The only way to lose more then a pound a day at Axl's size without any side effects is 1)extra water, your usually carry about an extra 10 pounds of water that your body doesn't technically need. So you can sweat it out...that's what UFC and boxers do right before a weigh in. But once you start drinking liquids it will store them again. option 2) is your digestion. A person carries roughly 5-6 pounds of crap in their body....and yes I mean literally. It's when your body adds to this weight that you have to go to the bathroom. So some laxative would help him out.Pro Athletes can lose about 5-10 pounds during a game but they will put it back on once they eat after the game. But based on their muscle structure they can lose the weight without harm as long as it is replenished within a few hours. If Axl lost 5-10 pounds during a concert he would pass out before Paradise City based on his size, but I would think he would lose 1-2 Pounds on stage.

It's not healthy to do it in that time to say the least.In order to lose that much weight that fast you're either going to have to drop all your water weight (which isn't fat and is only vanity pounds) or you're going to have to starve yourself, quit eating and lose muscle mass. There's no "healthy" way to drop tons of weight within a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
