twenty-nine Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/stop-the-presses/guns-n-roses-lies-shocking-truths-haircuts-180902540.html Judging from the pages of the U.K.'s Mail Online, there's not a whole lot happening with Guns N' Roses, save for the fact that Axl Rose has been out on the town in London with a bevy of babes and a "short and wavy" hairdo instead of his trademark "long and straight" number.It's such big news that ol' Axl is pictured no less than seven times sporting the new look. While Axl has never been a Bowie-like chameleon of rock, he also famously wore his hair in cornrows a few years back, and there's been some debate if his hair is really still his or has he had a hair transplant, plugs, or a weave.But enough of such trivial matters. We're here to report that Guns N' Roses has actually been quite busy, they've just been busy overseas. The band recently wrapped a series of dates in such exotic locales as Australia, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, and Lebanon, and Axl recently posted a note on the band's official site to thank the fans and opening acts like ZZ Top and Rose Tattoo. And the band has some festival dates in the U.S. coming up, including Rocklahoma in Pryor, Oklahoma, on May 24, River City Rockfest in San Antonio on May 26, and the Governor's Ball in New York on June 8.If you go to one of these shows, you'll be able to see for yourself if Axl's "new" look is worth all of the fuss. Oh, and if you're sensitive....might not want to read the comments lol. Edited April 10, 2013 by twenty-nine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimMorrison4 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 He doesn't even look like himself anymore.I saw a facebook meme with a pic of Axl that said, "The jungle wasn't kind to Axl Rose." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young_Gun Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I think because Axl stayed away from the public eye for so long, when he eventually did reemerge, the changes were that much more drastic then they would have been if we constantly saw his evolution if you want to call it that.

November_rain Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Where has the yahoo journalist been during the last 3 or 4 years? He must have been living under a rock if he considers Axl´s haircut as "new". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bran Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 why do people obsess with the guys hair? some people need to get out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liers Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 He's had this haircut since 2009. This shows where the media is at with GnR. They still think Axl is wearing cornrows and oversized jerseys and has a lead guitarist with a bucket on his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlslash Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The Yahoo article actually does a good job of pointing out that GNR have actually been incredibly active and most of the press are out to lunch on them.

liers Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I feel bad for Axl. He really hasn't aged all that bad, but he was out of the public eye so much the past 20 years, it seems like he's aged more rapidly. In the picture of 1996 where he had short hair and the beard he was around the same weight he is now. Then 2 years later in the arrest photo he was thinner. When he Reemerged in 2001 he was a normal weight but he had aged quite a bit from his last appearance. 2002 he had the cornrows and the oversize jerseys which made him look weird. 2003-2005 he wasn't seen. 2006 he had the cornrows still, but wasn't in the news much.His last big appearance before 2009 was the 2006 VMAs when he introduced the killers, but that was only about a minute, making his last long appearance in 2002.People like slash are in the public eye regularly, so they age more gradually. Axl is only in the front page news once every few years, so there's gaps that don't show his aging.Axl looks alot like he did in 2001 however IMO, but how many people actually have seen pictures of him from 2001 before he had the braids?
