Guest NGOG Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 There are some similarities between Axl's current appearance and back then, in 2006. He maintains a taste for jewellry and fondness of certain branded shoes. However, since 2006 he now has untied hair, a handlebar moustache, glitzy coats, numerous fedora/western hats, baggy t-shirts and an intensified display of jewellry. He also uses make-ups such as eyeliner. I understand Axl is now over 50 but he could also do with a personal trainer to achieve better shape, if not the same physique of '06. On the then World Tour of 2006, Axl developed a badass cornrow to deal with his assumed hair problems. He had a personal trainer that allowed him to achieve immense shape. He kept a simplistic fashion of well fitted t-shirts and shirts and didn't overdo the jewellry. He had weaker facial hair. He simply danced and looked more like a rockstar.

rendestroi95 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Naaah... this hair ruins everything XDI personally like this one from 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NGOG Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Naaah... this hair ruins everything XDThe '06 braids were killer, a perfect solution to the rumoured hair problems. The 'natural' hair he has now is lifeless, unnatural almost. But it's the fanbase that are to blame, it cried for waves and bandana when Axl looked his best since Illusions.

TeeJay410 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 the biggest difference between now and '06 is weight. The braids were awful but he looked so much better in '06 cause he looked healthier.Also not every man over 50 can be expected to look like george clooney. Now what Axl can control is his clothing and facial hair, which is an entirely different story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Drama Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 2006 was definitely best. Who knew that tying the braids back would make them look so much better than 2002! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 2006 was badass, great concerts, robin in the band.... i miss them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liers Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I think 01 was his best look since the illusions.The difference between 02 axl and 06 axl was the clotches I think. He wasn't wearing baggy jerseys and gym pants that made him look like a rapper. He was wearing more mature clothes. He also had the goatee which made him look like less of a rapper. There was picture of him somewhere from between 2003-2005 where he had the long braids down and a goatee and he looked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eu4ic Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) 2010 with a bandana. When he brushes it and shit a lot like today it looks all poofy and ridiculous.That said, 2006 wasnt that bad. He looked overall better. Got a lil crazy with the botox though. Looked gaunt as a muh fukka. Edited February 25, 2013 by Eu4ic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Rose Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 He's likely had a transplant job where they extract hair follicles from the back of your head/neck and splice them onto the top/hairline to fill it out a bit, so he has to blow-dry/poof it out to make it look fuller.I really loved the look of the semi-braided early 2002 weave he wore but it'd be a nightmare to tour in one.

trqster Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Axl's hair looks just fine when he wears just a bandana. Problem is when he adds the fedoras it gets fucking weird not to mention the biker's stache that looks just gay and ridiculous.He should just grow a beard or shave clean and get rid of the fedoras! He'd look better and even more important recognisable to the old fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfierose Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The 2006 look worked because he was well buff (from kick boxing I think). I liked the designer suits thing. That GQ photo shoot he did with Sasha was hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 The 2006 look was great minus the braids and the facial hair especially when he slimmed down a bit towards the end of 2006. Shame he went and stuffed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
