wfuckinga Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I couldn't consider TB part of the "lineup change" but he does it because he's Axl Rose and I guess because he wants to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkadelic Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Probably because we don't see him between tours and most folks tend to change their look in some degree over 2-3 years. And he did so in the past as well:Live 1986Didn't say which year, but it's from the Cathouse so I'd guess late 80'sAnd London '92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicguns4life Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 He keeps wanting to distance himself further and further from the real Axl Rose. Also, since 2006, he's been getting fatter so he covers himself up more and more. He's generally looked pretty much the same from 2009 to now.

Blameitonfernando Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Identity crisis. He's exploring different identities, but never quite makes a commitment. People tend to experience them at times of great change; New band, new relationships / end of old relationships. His looks coincide with these. Good observation.

axlsalinger Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I would think it's as simple as, new look for a new tour. Combined with the fact that people generally have a different haircut and some new clothes if you haven't seen them for 1-2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lies They Tell Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Axl's always been changing his style. I guess he likes change. Don't think it has anything to do with line up changes.And I agree that there was no drastic change between 2009/10 and 2011/13. He was using black fedoras already in 2010 and he used bandanas in 2013 too. There was just less variation in his style in 2011/13. 2010 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadcaplaughs Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Biggest changes come when we do not see him for four or more years. As others have pointed out, his "look" hasn't changed much from 2009 until the present, and he's more or less been in the public eye the whole time. Look at the huge gaps in time previously1994-2000: 6.5 years2003-2006: 3 years2007-2009: 2 years Really...the only big change that we had come apropos of nothing was the 2002 look.
