Roky Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) The more I look at that Axl picture the better it looks, especially in a small format. He looks pretty good. Edited December 30, 2015 by Roky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazey Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Axl could look like Jabba the Hutt for all I care. Not saying he does, but, to spell out my point further, so long as he belts out the notes and, hopefully, brings the rasp, it's all good.The point is that at his age he's not going to be able to do any of that unless he drops some of the blubber.

DangerousCurves Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I honestly dgaf how they look. I want to know how they sound. Sure, Axl has put on some weight. But Slash is far from the whipcord waist he was when he was sporting his leather pants back in the day. He is probably twice the waist size he was then. And, Lord knows I love me some Duff. And he is looks smoking from the neck down. But his face looks 70 years old. So, none of these guys are the spring chickens they used to be. Hell, can't we all be happy they're all alive and able to play?! That they didn't go to the grave without giving it a last go? They could all come out wearing tie-dyed yoga pants and I wouldn't care, as long as they sound good. Fuck it. I hope Axl rocks his kilt. Own that shit. He has always been unapologetic and that is part of what I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead singers don't have that luxury unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would assume that if there is a reunion, he would have worked on his voice. He's done it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead singers don't have that luxury unfortunately. As a singer, I call bullshit. I am bigger than I was pre-babies. My voice has 9nly improved. Not because of my weight obviously, but just because I didn't destroy it. Also - Sebastian Bach gained weight and sound unfuckingbelievable on Broadway. MeatLoaf. Aretha Franklin. Pavarotti. And someone who took mad bullshit for her weight, Ann Wilson. That woman only gets better with age. She gained at least 100 lbs from her debut and still annihilated every single song. In fact, on The Road Home acoustic album, she sounds better than she ever did, having developed an incredible rasp. So. Fuck weight. Can he run around in stage like a coked out chicken? Nope. But most 50 year old men don't. In fact, most frontmen didn't. It is just because we expected it of Axl...because we are now spoiled, entitled masses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlashElvisTCB Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I sing Elvis once in a while and DJ a lot and since I've gained 20 lbs I've lost 2 seconds worth of air on long notes, not a deal breaker but a noticeable for me difference. It sucks giving up midnight tacobell runs & 4am steak cookouts but its gotta be done for the music!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphelmo Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 DangerousCurves, u must be american then Gaining weight won't improve your lung function, ergo. it won't help you sing well through 3 hour show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 What do people expect of the guy, really? He's not going to look the way he did in 2006. That's nearly 10 years ago. He's actually looking pretty good for his age. I mean, this is a 2015 picture of Johnny Depp (who's a year younger than Axl):Comparatively speaking, I'd say Axl is doing better. And either which way, it's not about what Axl looks like. It's what he sounds like, that's what matters.Lol no Are you havin' a fuckin' laugh? Johnnys still like one of a premier birds fantasys in the world right now whilst Axl looks like Miss Piggys brother, how in the fuck is Tubs Lardy in anyway comparable to Johnny?I don't know man. Like I said before, I don't care how Axl is looking as far as his voice isn't affected. There are overweight singers with great voice.But to compare a bloated, fat, outer shape Axl in all seriousness with Johnny Depp is... I don't know... I'm speechless. It's like a new level of Axl-fanism. I'm not the one analysing every inch of Axl's body. I am not the one who is bothered about the guy's looks.My point was, both men were, back in the day, fawned over to a certain extent, because of their looks. Both have aged. That's what happens to people. In the picture I linked, Johnny shows more signs of age than Axl. Each person ages differently. That's what happens, too. Yet Johnny doesn't get attacked over it. As someone else says, he's still considered attractive by a lot of people. And he's an actor, in a business founded, to a great extent, on looks. In the music world, one would hope that it's the actual music that is key.Axl could look like Jabba the Hutt for all I care. Not saying he does, but, to spell out my point further, so long as he belts out the notes and, hopefully, brings the rasp, it's all good.Yeah well I am analysing it and he looks like a fat cunt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweden_Loves_GnR Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Well, Axl can burn 15-20 kilos in 3 Months with alot of cardio and strict nutrition to perform with higher intensity on stage and look better at potentially promo pics.
