iftheworld Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 How out of shape Axl is? This is not a "Pick on Axl thread". I'm truly concerned. Looking at the Philly vids, I noticed how considerably large his stomach is. He's constantly out of breath. I was shocked to see the vid of Axl apologising to the Philly fans, not because he was apologising, but the way he looked. He seems to be having fun, but I'm worried. This isn't good for his health. Am I the only one noticing this shit. I think Axl may be the biggest I've ever seen him. If he's out of shape it'll be hard for him to fight off illnesses aka, bronchitis. To top it all off, Ron looks like he's went twelve rounds with Mike Tyson. I know the touring just started, but I think they need to take a step back and get healthy. Especially Ron. My father has a chronic back disease and he can hardly walk some days Ron needs to fix himself. He doesn't need to be standing for three plus hours holding a twenty pound guitar around his spine. I say, get healthy. Hit the R&R HOF hard. Then tour.thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic56 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I did notice it too at chicago. I think they all need to rest for the the european tour, atleast the have 9 weeks or so to rest and get themselves together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwarzgold Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Richard could train them while they tour; he always looks superfit. He could earn an extra buck doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be sweet if he got himself down to a lighter weight and took the vocal lessons he did back in 2006 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic56 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 he's hardly obese, but he is getting the dreaded middle age spread, I'm sure he will get rid of it, he always has done in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Slash with a gut but never Axl. Not like this. It's very concerning. Especially at his height, he's not going to look good with extra weight. I honestly think its 's effecting his voice.

Kill Devil Hill Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I hadn't noticed. The only time I took notice of his weight was at the proshit LA gig because it looked like he lost so much weight since RIR'11. You're right. He does seem to have gotten it back. He'll probably slim down as the tour progresses like the '11 tour. I just hope his voice improves (once he gets better). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Ron is afraid to stop in fear of losing his job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YOUCOULDBEMINE. Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'd say that Ron hates to quit on his fans, not because of his job to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly, on stage for 3 + hours, he moved and sounded just fine. Amazing, in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trqster Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Axl needs to get back in shape, first of all for himself and also for the fans or he won't be able to give them the best show.That being said Axl is still far from the average oversized middle-aged american John Doe...

axl_on_drums Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I can't help but be a cynic, people think GNR are better than ever but I have no idea what's going on...The random fucking shows, it has to be about the money right?I don't think playing the same show for the 5,000 time is really that productive Vocally Axl isn't that great, idk, GNR are getting pretty stale..I had high hopes for 2012, looks like it's just gonna be another year of nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnrjanus Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Oh no! Axl Gained a few pounds... call the presses!wake up, he's 50. He's got an amazing tour coming where he can run and jump around... so what.why do we care about these issues.... get a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I had high hopes for 2012, looks like it's just gonna be another year of nothingInteresting. If a year where the band tours all the time, are inducted into HOF, do live streams, launches a new website, and does lots of interview while talking about hitting the studio is "nothing", then I need to ask: what do you call all the years were _literally_ nothing happened? This is a good year. A very good year. Too bad people haven't been around long enough, or are too dense, to realize that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most probably... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
