Jeez Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 The cane is an alexander mcqueen skull cane. Costs about $500. Fashion not function folks.Shit fashion. Just like his ill fitting t-shirts.I really dig his 2006 and 2010 fashion (though the shirts were way too big in 2010, made him look bigger than he was).Don't think there's been anything I've liked from 2011 onwards. Apart from the Pussy Time t-shirt.Don't think I've seen that one?You have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bicem Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 The cane is rock n' roll. Axl has the cane at the end of the Don't Cry vid when he's visiting his own grave. Maybe that was future (now current) Axl paying respects to his former self? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saber_ Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 The cane is rock n' roll. Axl has the cane at the end of the Don't Cry vid when he's visiting his own grave. Maybe that was future (now current) Axl paying respects to his former self?Well Axl has certainly used symbolism in the past, so that's an intriguing observation. I'm of course going to have to rewatch that video now, haha. As someone else pointed out earlier, the cane has a skull on it. Back when the cane was first discussed in the now-defunct Attitude section, I wondered if the skull cane might be an allusion to AFD, or have some meaning relating to AFD, since obviously the cover of AFD has skulls on it. Of course there is skull imagery in other Guns' merch, including for recent tours, so it may not mean anything. Axl might've just picked the skull because it looked cool. Back to your theory though- it's very interesting. Cool insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinegunner Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Best sporting of a cane in rock n' roll since Billy Idol had a motorbike accident and crushed up and shot up his painkillers!Good call on the Locomotive quote, maybe Axl needs a new love before he's got something to say:"If love is blind I guess I'll buy myself a cane" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncivil war Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that Axl has had problems with his legs and knees since he did track in high school, (hurdles maybe). I can't remember where I read it and I could be wrong. He also broke his ankle during the Illusions tour, so maybe problems with arthritis could account for the cane also.

You wouldn't believe what some star athletes look like trying to move around when they're not performing and they think no one is looking. Physical performers hide injuries. It's a thing. Now, I'm not saying that's the case with Axl, I'm just saying it could be the case. To state with certainty the opposite is, imo, absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
