megaguns1982 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I was wondering if anyone else thinks that Axls performance is affected by the way he looks with the (slight) extra weight? I know when i gained 10 kgs after quitting smoking it affected my self esteem and i just didn't feel confident in public.Im not saying the guy is fat, just that as an observation.... on the 2006 tour he was slim.....confident...cornrows and singing awesome.....Since then it kinda went down hill bar a few exceptions, WHat do you guys think?

Dazey Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) He's a fat drunk who can't be bothered. Simple. If he wanted to he could be back to his 06 shape in a couple of months but he clearly doesn't give a shit.

megaguns1982 Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Axl likes jigsaw puzzles, and drinking beer.... Thats why he is always late for concerts. those 1001 piece puzzles take years to accomplish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Yes, he's looks old and knackered and sounds old and knackered because, survey says, he IS old and knackered And there's nothing wrong with all that, some of the best blues-smiths of all times sounded old and knackered towards the end of their career, you've just gotta be able to do something with it.

Guest Len B'stard Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Now that'd be interesting, to hear a slowed down bluesy WTTJ, i feel it may fall flat on its face though it could work, the subject matters there...sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 His looks? No. His health, which influences his looks? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I think so, I'm no expert on vocal health but I know a little. Most singers will tell you that you have to take of yourself otherwise you just can't pull of consistent performances. A singer should eat right, not drink or smoke excessively, Warm ups and downs, work out and get good rest... I honestly can't imagine Axl doing any of these things on a day to day basis, the proof is in front of us (wavering vocal ability and the weight gain).

Dariablue Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I think his mustache might impact his singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saber_ Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 So is there a collective delusion that he doesn't look the same as 2010, OP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 His weight? No. His drinking? Possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that is your personal opininon, but you really don't know. As far as being fat, that depends on your definition of "being fat". Only axl knows how much or little he cares and the effort he gives during a given performance. But I don't get the drunk part of your statement. Back in his haze days it's pretty accurate to say Duff was a drunk, probably Slash also. What prompts you to say Axl is a drunk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattElias Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Nop. He is looking almost the same thing as 2010, and his voice was awesome by that time.Don't know, the last time that GNR made a so big gap in the concerts was before the Bridge School Incident, and the results weren't the best ones. But maybe when things start again, we will see good things.I don't know what is happening with him, maybe is a hormonal problem, or drinking problem, but he hasn't appeared drunk in the last months on public. Well... weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagarin Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Say what you want, imagine Axl on HGH.At least he hasn't been doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
