Use Your Delusion 1 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 so this might actually happen?I'm slightly dissapointed, after years as a teenager pining after reuinion I'd now rather they were the one band who didn't give inunless Rose can get back to his 2010 voice then it will be shit too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) And either which way, it's not about what Axl looks like. It's what he sounds like, that's what matters. That is true.And if he's totally out of shape he's going to sound like shit. We don't know that yet. So isn't it best to reserve judgement?i hate to see criticism of Axl's appearance. I mean, come on, this reunion stuff is the best news in years. Surely there's better stuff to discuss.Just my $0.02 I agree. Just wondering if people started following GN'R because of the band members' looks, or because of the music they made? Because to me, it's the music that matters. And with Axl, it's his voice. If he sounds great, but people don't like his looks, they can always just close their eyes and listen. I don't know anyone in real life who was around for AFD/UYI that cares about what he looks like. Seemingly grown ass men on here analyze his looks/clothes like it's the Zapruder films. We (old school fans)care about the music. Maybe these guys want to date Axl but I don't think he rolls like that. In real life,they'd probably kiss his ass if they ever met him.

DangerousCurves 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. I am. American of Scottish descent. So, whatever your argument, it's invalidated by my own sense of superiority. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBrownstonex Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) What i ask myself. If this thing has been in the works for two years, why have they still been touring with that lineup? Mustve been very shitty for the members to know, that they'll be replaced soon anyways Edited December 30, 2015 by xBrownstonex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it might look like discussing weight of a man might be 'girly'... but men who are waiting and so excited with load in their pants for 5 guys to jump on stage are equally girly.

Mustve been very shitty for the members to know, that they'll be replaced soon anywaysBasically after the tour, they are free whatever they want to do, but IF they get that call from TB/AXL then they would have to be there. I guess one of the main reasons why Ashba left officially so he would not be called later on to do the same shit tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabioRoses Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Looks like he made plastic surgery, but hey, better than expected. Don't care about the weight, just bring in a good voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't care about the weight, just bring in a good voice.I'd say he opposite. He looks older, and better for it. He looked worse in 2001 when he was clearly clinging onto a youthful appearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to as a grown man discuss another grown man's appearance and clothing,have at it,Broham. I'm just saying,I personally know no males over 35 who give a fuck about what any of them look like.I know image played a part in their success back in the day,I was around for it and didn't have to see it on YouTube clips. But nowadays,people can't wait to tear down their heroes for any reason. If Slash goes bald,will it affect his playing? Probably not but it'd be a 100 page thread here. Maybe some young ones on here should check back in 30 years and show us what they look like in their mid 50's. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent years back that up.People generally don't comment on Axl's weight because they get a hard on for his old image. It's because his track record of being overweight = a weak voice, no cardio and running backstage every opportunity he can get. Steven Tyler doesn't do it, Bono doesn't do it, Bon Jovi doesn't do it.So if people was to see him trimmed down, it makes them think maybe, just maybe, Axl will fire on all cylinders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Nash Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I got the feeling that once the GNR tour is done, Axl will release CD2 as a solo artist. It would be a dream come true.Then yeah, a new record by the old band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didnt address grown ass men excited over a rumor that some male musicians are gonna be at one stage and play ... like 7 year old nerds waiting for batman superman movie.Excitement over films,concerts etc. is a different story. That is understandable since many have waited 20 years for Axl and Slash to take the stage together again. If discussing Axl's weight and clothes is your things,by all means ,have at it.
