GNR 1991 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) No one ever talks about how he looked when he toured Asia in 09. No bandanna, no hat, just a t-shirt and jeans. Slimmed down from how he looks now. His hair looks awesome. Edited October 23, 2012 by GNR 1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 2006 Axl still dressed the best in my opinion. He looked cool as fuck. I do agree though, he looks great in those videos. Way better without the hat and sunglasses. Dressed simple and still looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RonMexico82 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 He is actually recognisable as Axl Rose. He could look just like that if he ditched the bling, the hats and lost a few pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrose87 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 If there still touring in 3 years people will say he looks cool now. Remember in 06 how most people ripped on him for being fat and the cornrows etc. The same thing in 09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience 4 Axl Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Agreed. He looked and sounded really good in those vids. Feels like ages ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RonMexico82 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 It doesn't help that the guy vanishes, often for years at a time. Public figures age before our eyes normally. Axl vanishes from view like fucking Bigfoot and then emerges unexpectedly, looks different, sometimes radically so and people get surpised.

Demon Wolf Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 It is beyond me how people could call him fat in 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liers Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) In these videos he looks like you would expect him to look at 48/50, you can also see how similar he looks to Rio 2001, infact if he shaved the beard and his hair was a little longer, he would look pretty much the same.Now he's thinner than he was in 09, but he wears all the jackets, bling, hats, and glasses. He would look awesome with just a tshirt and jeans, no hat or glasses. I also think the reason why he doesn't run around as much is because even in hot stadiums he's wearing a tshirt and a heavy jacket.

Freddie Mercury's Ghost Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 It is beyond me how people could call him fat in 2006.That one pic from Download Festival 2006 that GNR posted on their website had Axl's gut photoshopped - it's the one where Axl's giving a finger during "It's So Easy":EDIT:This one:http://feta.blog.hr/slike/originals/guns_n_roses-axl_live_crowd.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I never understood what the fuck he was thinking with the cornrolls...like seriously?!?!

liers Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I think the 2006 cornrows would've been better if they were down, not tied back like in 2002, just down, like at the end of 2001. Axls 2002 look was hilarious though. It was so bad, it was funny, he looked like someone who escaped from an asylum who was about to release a hardcore mickey mouse rap album.

Tom1447 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) its just a guess, but i think he probably wears layers because of rio and previous times when he was called fat by the press. People tend to wear more layers when they arent as confident about their weight. Axl has always wore hats and bandannas anyway so its nothing new.

Slimmed down from how he looks now. His hair looks awesome.He looked fabulous here without all the layers, as someone said it would be hard to run around & dance so freely with those heavy jackets on. Even here he carries a little weight but it does suit him at this age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
