The Little Shorts in retrospect


Vincent Vega

Recommended Posts

How do you feel about Axl's 91-93 Biker short look in retrospect? Literally at EVERY concert during the UYI tour he wore skin tight, short shorts. As far as I recall, he only wore regular pants on stage at Farm Aid in 1990, at Rio in 1991 and when he guested at the U2 show in 1992. The biker shorts are basically the DEFINING look of Axl in the 90s...How do you feel about them in retrospect?

At around the time the band was a little messed up, and even they wern't aware of just how bad things were, as they were just getting on with. With Members quiting, being fired. Hired hands coming into the mix. Various members doing too much drink and drugs. Axl's anwser appeared to include taking to the stage in skin tight micro shorts and a jacket, so who know's (other than him) where his mind was at. Other members were reported as saying WTF? but none (as far as we know) ever let Axl know what they were thinking when it came to the shorts.

I believe it was a fashion faux pas that old GNR never really recovered from. You can't combat grunge with your dick and balls showing. GNR's rock was cock and grunge made them seem ricockulous. After that it took Axl nearly a decade before he decided it was safe to come back as The Predator.

Pretty much this x 1000 :rofl-lol: It would've been a bad look for a rock star who was not intentionally parodying himself at any phase in musical history (even the 80s), but it was particularly ill-advised in the early 90s. He may have fared better if he at least seemed to own and be self-aware about how silly he looked, but...yeah, no.
