ITW 2012 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) I counted 6 rings, 2 chains, and a whole lotta bracelets. He's sporting some seriously wicked jewelry. I imagine putting on all that bling must really fire him up. Do you think that's part of his preparation? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYGx7vM8HlI&feature=player_embedded Edited November 9, 2011 by ITW 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOUCOULDBEMINE. Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I read somewhere that he uses a specific order to put them on. Not just randomly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Part of being in a band is the image. It's not as big of a deal, but there's still an expectation that our rock stars should still look the part. It is the theatrical end of it, and you've seen pics when he's on his own time. Not talking about photos with fans or being at the airport -that's being in the public. But it's like Dolly Parton not going out without her wig - she just doesn't. Bret Michaels kept that bandanna on even if he was about to buy the farm. No different than grandma wanting her lipstick and her hair in rollers to keep appearances up, even though no one really cares, but to her it's a pride issue.Aren't there demos where you hear Axl's bracelets shaking pretty loudly? I'm sure the engineers have told him to take it off back in the day. Jenny and Axl would make a cute couple. They'd prob. be sharing bracelets. But one of the dealbreakers was being married to someone who spent himself into borderline bankruptcy. Wonder if Ferrer ever did studio work for her.

Blummas Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I find it very annoying to use bracelets and rings, this is the first reason why I'm not a rock star rock1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I find it very annoying to use bracelets and rings, this is the first reason why I'm not a rock star rock1Nahh, some pretty awesome rock stars don't wear 'em. Everyone in AC/DC, Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, most people on Iron Maiden, Metallica, Rush, etc... Axl wants to be a pimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val22 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 He looks a bit too pimpy...lol Some jerks a the local Dallas rock station said Axl looked like Kid Rock. I guess they couldn't find fault with Axl's performance, so they went for his look.God, it makes me so angry. They just can't give Axl credit for this US tour and how well it's going and how amazing Axl and the band sound and how supportive we GNR fans are. The DAllas show was I'd say 99% sold out from what I could see and mostly everyone stayed until the end of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saber_ Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 The jewelry affects the electro magnetic sound field around the mic, that's why he wears it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I find it very annoying to use bracelets and rings, this is the first reason why I'm not a rock star rock1lol Me too. I usually only wear my wedding band and my chain with 2 crosses and a cat charm and a watch. I always have to know the time. But as for any other jewelry especially too many rings annoys the hell out of me!But hey on Axl Rose it looks good! If it helps him getting into character or whatever, go for it!
