trqster Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Image was always something that Axl valued a lot, especially when back in the day his good looks made him even more popular. The sad fact is that with just a little more effort on his part he could still be at least recognisable to most of his old fans. Not to mention the fact that he doesn't look healthy at all and that's what worries me the most... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carne_asaDA Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 No one likes a fat Rockstar? I think Meatloaf had a fan base.Actually, nobody likes a skinny rockstar who goes by the name of "Meatloaf". Axl's weight issues is very indicative of his work ethic these days. Hence why you people don't have and won't have a new album any time soon.

Carne_asaDA Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 This makes the time Axl told the interviewer for the Indian press, "I like Indian food" all the bit funnier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl_morris Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 But, you've got to take into account his age. Compared to most people Axl's age, he is in fine form, nothing wrong with the way Axl looks in 2013 to be fair... I just wish he had the same determination he had in 2006.This is bullshit. Everyone brings up age as a defense, but I know lots of people who are 50 (which is young) and are in great shape. Furthermore, if Axl is putting himself out there as a rock star, he's gotta live up to it and realize that people are going to expect him to play the role. No one likes a fat rock star, because it adversely affects the performance in a number of ways.Can you imagine if we had a president who couldn't speak in public? The public would complain about that as well.I reckon Axl does the same he's been doing the last 10 years, phys and diet wise. It's just as he's gotten old his metabolism has slowed down. I reckon he wears the jackets now throughout the show as that will aide him losing weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it won't do him any good is he refills the lost liquids with liquor at the after-party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nambis Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Aren't most of us here because we enjoy axl as a artist? I'm not sure about that. As Bob Dylan once said, "an artist must be careful to never think he has arrived somewhere, he must always be in a constant state of becoming." Axl seems to have lost that in the last 5 years or so, which is why most people (on these forums even) are growing bored and have given up.

Guest Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Wow, another discussion about axls weight! You guys are clearly obsessed. Aren't most of us here because we enjoy axl as a artist? You guys are so critical and superficial. Yes, he is heavier than 20 years ago....big deal, move on people.Oh btw have you seen slashs fat ass these days? I'm sure his fans don't give him a hard timeThe problem that comes with nothing important to discuss, people generate ideas to promote discussion. It was worse back in the silence era. Considering there's no new music being debuted, or no new music in the pipeline- all most have is to discuss Axl's vocals and looks. Also, I think in part, a lot of GNR's allure back in the day was their style and look. Whilst this has no reflection on their musical talent and ability, it doesn't surprise me that many would want to discuss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's indicative of his work ethic. When you hear rumors about him not going on stage until he gets a roasted duck or when he tells a reporter, "I like Indian food". It's hilarious and telling at the same time. He's a greedy and lazy slob, and it shows. That's why there will be no new music anytime soon...........let's not forget his lack of ability to sing, these days as well.

weaponsnflowers Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I propably would give less a fuck what Axl looks like if I could just listen to his voice on some new songs...

Cosmo Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I don't give a shit about Axl's weight.
