jman2000 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 That's an awesome pic. I can't tell you how much it reminds me of the old Axl. I wish he would have kept his look how he does in this pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carburetta Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Paradise City if I'm correctOk, he does appear to be whistling though. He only had his shirt off for the closer though I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liers Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 2001 axl looked pretty good at times and awful others. He had some weight at rio, but a healthy amount. Other pictures however he looked frail.He should've kept the Rio 2001 look IMO. He looks ALOT like the 90's in this picture. He only had the bandanna on and the shirt off during PC and when he thanked Beta at the end.Could be when he ran into the crowed and stopped singing because of all the mic problems....

Bruno P. Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 lol, I remember that back in 2001 people were trashing Axl to death and pretty much everyone agreed that Axl's voice was shot and he was too fat. Buckethead was a joke and a souless shredder. Finck couldn't play Slash's solos and looked like an alien. Nowadays that concert might be one of the best - if not the best - GnR concerts of all time to a lot of people.I am not pointing at anyone, but I remember that NO-FUCKING-BODY said that they were the definite new GnR lineup back then... they were a mess, a circus act.If that same picture had 2013 watermarked everyone would be laughing at it, lol. Ridiculous pic showing an out of form Axl in his worst vocal era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It bothers me though how Axl let himself go, looks wise. It would be a lot cooler if he looked a bit cooler. Fingers crossed for the future.

Carburetta Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The reason the show was hated on at the time was because it took every one a little while to get used to the new line up, it was maybe too big a shock to see Axl on stage with these guys. Once people had got used to it, it was loved, by me included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
