volcano62 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I think it’s time to get something straight that’s annoying Tickets There and probably a lot of other Guns N’ Roses fans. Axl Rose is not fat, obese, unrecognizable. He doesn’t look horrible, his voice isn’t gone…etc, etc. The people writing this shite are called the media (and dick heads). The media make money of Axl Rose by focusing only on the negative and tearing them to shreds. Nobody ever hears about all of the fantastic shows Guns N’ Roses play because the media couldn’t be arsed talking about them. They like the controversy, the juice and they’ll suck the blood of the this band as long as they can because, well; Guns N’ Roses are the band people love to hate.click for more:http://ticketsthere.com/2011/02/26/guns-n%E2%80%99-roses-2011-tour-dates/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazey Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Based on the Rio performance he is fat, his voice was shit and he was near unrecognisable from most people's image of him aside from the dedicated fanbase. That's not bashing that's just how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazey Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I honestly couldn't care less about axl's weight and shallow shit like that, IF it didn't directly affect his performance, which was the case at rio.But I'll give it to him, his physical shape seems to be improving, along with his voice. Slowly. But hey, it's a start.You don't have to give him anything. All this was well within his control in the near year he had to prepare since the end of the last tour and he chose not to bother so he deserves all the criticism coming his way.

That's not bashing that's just how it is. Not another one. Rio was ONE show. He voice wasn't good there, but it's increasing, his weight is decreasing and he looks to be in a good mood alot lately.

RandallFlagg Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Are people blind or something? Axl isn't fat at all, there's some unflattering camera angles that make him look like he is but anyone can be made to look awful by an angle lol. He looks great imo.. kinda normal and casual wearing whatever he wants (shockhorror!!!) yeah pushing 50 is no excuse not to be in great shape but because it's the dude who made tight pants and bullet proof vests and whatever look awesome the media paint a nice black and white picture of then = successful and good looking and now must = he looks different so it automatically seems like he's fat and weird and over the hill and whatnot because of a bad performance. All the awesome performances and when he was in great shape towards the middle of last tour, they won't give a shit about that as talking straight and supporting a non media whorish person doesn't sell or seem to be exciting enough for them.

WhazUp Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Axl didn't sound good at all during Rio but judging by what I've heard from the recent shows he sounds pretty good. I wish he had more rasp like last year so hopefully by the US tour he gets it back. I agree with the article that the comments on his weight were a bit ridiculous, he looks fine (although that yellow raincoat doesn't do him any favors) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, he had a few extra pounds, but he did in the beginning of the 2009 tour as well, and as the tour went he lose the weight. Sure enough the same thing will happen this time around as well.

RandallFlagg Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 It's a crime for being an idol in the 90's and now looking ya know.. surprise surprise different! You'd think he weighed about 20 stone and can't perform for shit. He's sounded almost as good as he ever has most of the last tour. I suppose one big meh of a show and people can't wait to throw fire on his life, it's awful really. He could talk to the media but what's he got to say to anyone apart from promoting something, maybe he just feels it's a hassle and people are still seeking this band out regardless of whether the 90's members are here or not so it works in a strange way. Am I the only one who thought the raincoat was awesome lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uzi your illusion Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 My friend who's a casual GNR fan, and knows about most of their history from me throughout the years saw on youtube that Guns was going to be live streamed at RIO. I talked to him a few days later and he told me that he loved that Axl was calling out Buckethead by wearing the yellow raincoat. I love that this is what he took away from the show.

Val22 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Everything that guy said was so damn true.Show me one perform at 50 who can sing or look like they did when they were 20? Please! Like I said before, as long as these bands are rockin there fans will come and I think that's awesome!Axl Rose has been a punching bag since the beginning of GNR. Anything that has gone wrong with the band has been his fault. There were other guys in this band and like a marriage no one person is to blame. They were all fucked up with drugs and drinking so who the hell was expected to actually have a decent conversation about anything. Like so many bands, they rode their fame to the ground. Luckily, each one of them except maybe Steven are alive and healthy today and still performing with different bands. Many bands have broken up and gone on to still record and tour.Why are some people still blaming Axl for the breakup when he's been touring with new musicians for a very long time. The original GNR changed the world with their music, but unfortunately some things don't last and GNR was one of them, but I give Axl credit for continuing to record and sing those amazing songs that were amazing then and still amazing now.I think the band members Axl has now are awesome. It's not like he picked these guys off the street and they suck, they don't, so let's give Axl credit for something for a change.There will always be haters that is the way of the world and usually those people are jealous dickheads who need to get a life of their own!

All kidding aside he does look good. That concert was 3.5 hours long something like 4 encores and he ran the stage the entire time. He still has a really nice ass also.

James Bond Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Based on the Rio performance he is fat, his voice was shit and he was near unrecognisable from most people's image of him aside from the dedicated fanbase. That's not bashing that's just how it is. You said it yourself - based on the RIO performance. He has had many good performances since then. Pictures from the last couple shows prove that he is FAR from fat. The original article in this topic is going against that for precisely this reason. If anybody is holding out on seeing them because of Rio, they are missing a great rock show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like he might have gained 10 pounds in a year. He didn't look all that skinny last year, and if you look at photos people took from the side, can see he had the same thing going on. I mean,some of them are making it sound as bad as what happened to Jerry Lewis. There's a lot of rock performers you don't notice what's going on with their neck as far as wrinkles or weight goes. The You Tube audio mix didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
