drtydane Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Uhh no shit. But my dad doesn't look so drastically different as he did ten years ago. ESP when he looked pretty similar from 91 to 01. Not that I normally care about this shit, but sumthings def off, and you're in denial if you say otherwise. Personally I just think he's lost the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesecake Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I tell you, lose the pounds (as long as you don't go gaunt) and you'll see a younger version of anyone. He's a good looking guy, but his beer belly's not working for him. And the double chin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saber_ Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) Here are pictures of Axl a week ago. "Let himself go"? That's such hyperbolic horseshit. But then again, I don't subscribe to the shallow hollywood ideal of what people should look like, as seems to be the case with more than a few posters on this forum. It's almost as if some posters are trying to wage a bizarre anti-Axl PR war, in the same vein as conservative talk show hosts hating on libs all the time.

wfse Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 I can't be bothered to read through all the replies but if it's just brainsaber and the like complaining about how it's not a fair comparison because the second pic was taken after a show - no shit. It's just an example. Take any pic from recently and compare it to 2006.As for the above pics - there are tons of filters on him and even then, he looks pretty bad in comparison to 2006/2007. No need to go into "Axl nutswing defense mode". He doesn't look as good as he used to. That's all. Perhaps he needs the goatee back so he can cover up those chins.

Well nooooo shit Sherlock. For 50 years old, he looks fine. No need for me to go into "Axl nutswing defense mode," because you're just being a drama queen about Axl. I won't get in the way of you sharing your passionate opinions about Axl's looks. Clearly, it's very important to you on a deeply meaningful level to communicate your unique revelations, so I won't derail your thread. Carry on, carry on.

drtydane Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I'm looking at him now and a picture of him ten years ago. He hasn't had plastic surgery and botax etc and he hasn't aged half as bad as axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trqster Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 From the latest pictures it seems that Axl has finally lost a bit of weight and looks less bloated on the face. Maybe it was a new year's resolution thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreCC Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I think he just got a little bit more fat and the mustache makes him look 5 or 6 years older than he really is. Also i think he should have kept the braids. It makes him look younger too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfierose Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) I think generally he looks fine for a 51yr old guy. The main problem, if you want to call it that, is the chin/Jowl area which I suspect is alcohol. The reason I say this is because I have noticed over the last couple of years I suffer similar effects if I drink regularly for prolonged periods. I'm 37 and it is something that is just starting to happen, no doubt if I don't cut down it will happen more with every passing year.Having said that, going on a diet and lifestyle change at any age will reap benefits. Go and google Boy George, also 51, and look at the effects of his current weight loss especially around his neck. Although if he looses any more he will tip the balance and be too thin so you can't win in the public eye I suppose.

Everyone including Axl should adopt 'a healthy lifestyle' (that's what he said after the Golden Globe) as not only it helps you look good, it also adds more to your living years.I love him so it is just natural that I want him to look better (I know he can) and be healthier and fitter, there's nothing wrong with that.

vaida Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) In 2006 he could have honestly passed for being in his late 20's/early 30's sometimes.Now....I wonder what happend. Maybe, at a guess, Axl was at another turning point, faced with decisions:Work on a new album, thus withdraw from the limelight for years on end, only to be too old to tour it, assuming a record company picks it up.Hit the road and tour, tour, tour, head down, same old same old set list night after night, making every effort to be on time, and get the job done, and make as much cash as possible, if only to prove to the world (and record companies) he can do it.Throw in the towel, and say fuck it.As we know.. he took the tour option. Maybe the trim look was of little interest. Maybe he thought, well i'm 50 now, I'm here to be a GN'R tribute band and I really don't care what anyone thinks.I think generally he looks fine for a 51yr old guy.

I wonder if someone said 'look George, fucking sort out the weight problem, you look a mess, the fat, bald, tattoo, ton of black make-up under the chin isn't working.. not to mention you'll be happier if you loose the weight'. Being fat don't suite Boy George. Maybe he is off the drugs too. Maybe now he might make some more music of par with his hey-days.
