 1996 if I'm not mistaken

@rustycage11 Hah, that's awesome, never noticed that! So we have Axl and Izzy sharing clothes, Slash and Izzy, and now Duff and Izzy. The common factor here is Izzy. Conclusion:

Izzy dressed them all! j/k

Or maybe he was just nice enough to share his clothes with everyone. Or if they aren't his clothes, then they all just wore each other's clothes. Cute.

 

@Andy14 Well, Duff's certainly got the legs to rock that outfit Here's another one:

That's really interesting thanks for posting. I was always curious about how she looked like, she does resemble Axl: her eyes, cheekbones and her nose too

I totally agree. From what I can tell, she mostly looks like a female version of Axl. Genetics are so fascinating. I'd also be curious to see what his real dad looked like.

What blurry pictures? I've never seen any pics of Axls mom except the one dalsh just posted.

These. I've always been curious about them because

1) Where the hell did they come from? They look like someone went through a foto album or something belonging to someone in Axl's family and took some snaps. Which is pretty creepy. Anyone know where they're from or who posted them?

2) They're so fucking blurry that you can hardly see anything anyway, so what even is the point of posting them on the internet?

I'm assuming that's his mom there as well in that one and also one of the women in the second one. Does seem to have the cheekbones and facial structure from what I can tell.

Adult Axl with family (can only recognise Stuart besides Axl and the old lady is probably his grandma):

And as we already established (thanks @killuridols !) the guy in the lobster picture is not Axl's stepdad, but the guy sitting in the chair behind little Axl in that picture might be (or maybe it's a grandfather or an uncle or something). At least tiny Axl looks pretty happy in that picture (Thrilled about his present? Looks like Christmas or something).

I came across to a very weird pic of an Axl look-alike that he's supposed to be his biological father ...I doubt it ,might be Axl himself or someone else cant' find it right now though

Axl does not like being called Bill at all. I've heard at least two people say that Axl got really mad at them when they accidentally called him Bill (Pamela Manning and Chris Weber I think).

And let's not forget Axl even sued one of their managers for damages because of the emotional pain he caused him by referring to him as Bill Bailey in the court papers. I think it was Azoff who did that. And Axl sued him because that name was too tied to his abusive childhood and the traumas associated with it and he alleged that Azoff knew that and used Bill Bailey on purpose to hurt Axl.

Irving Azoff is a gigantic douche if that is really how it went down

I'd believe that. He changed the name legally - he obviously didn't want it anymore and let it go. I've heard of other people who have been through traumas or want to break with their past doing the same thing, for what it's worth.

 

If Azoff really did use that name, he is a major douche. Mick Wall did the same, actually - his hack job of a book about Axl had a title that called him "William Axl Rose." Either it was done to needle Axl or Wall really didn't do his research; either way it makes the book's credibility even more dubious than it already is.

I think I know the picture you're referring to and I believe the fact has been debunked somewhere on this forum few years ago.

[Andy14]

The only purpose of this post is not to let this thread 24 hours without any new comment 

(and yes, it's Axl falling down )

 

[Jane M.]

Watch Izzy jump and disappear into oblivion...like he actually did a few years after

That interview was epic, they were so damn high

[marlingrl03]

I remember that clip! I'm sure they had a great time tearing down that set! Sure looks like it. 

[pinkforgirls]

Oh no, Azoff definitely used the name Bill Bailey in the court papers. I know because I read them when they were posted here (and also Axl's counter suit or whatever that is called in English). I was only giving him the benefit of doubt that maybe he didn't know that Axl legally changed his name. He might just have assumed that Axl Rose is just his stage name, since guys like Slash and Duff still are Saul Hudson and Michael Andrew McKagan in their official documents. But then again, it is pretty well known that Axl legally changed his name and as his manager he would propbably know stuff like that, so he really was just being an asshole most likely. IIRC this was after Azoff had already been fired, so he probably wanted to leave Axl with one last parting blow or get a rise out of him (and it worked).

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, I really love this picture. Axl and Slash both look so damn happy there. Probably my favorite "bow picture" so far.

@pinkforgirls and @Lumikki great pictures! Is it me or is Axl losing his weight quite quickly? He hasn't looked that good in ages.

Yikes, that's pretty damned sniveling and rude. Yeah, as manager he would have had to handle documents that showed that Axl's name was Axl - things like booking plane tickets and visas would have required him to see Axl's passport, for instance. And Axl would have signed contracts under his legal name, which wasn't Bill Bailey.

I read this in a review of the first Chicago show. I choose this to be my truth. 

While Rose appears appropriately aged, a slightly swollen version of his younger self, he's by no means out of shape. Rather the extra weight gave off the impression of solidity and strength, like that of a workhorse that can reliably bear the burden of a two-hour arena show.

Yes please . I didn't know there were THAT many hats, it's scary seeing them all together . I'd rather see his t-shirts collection.

The leopard print one is there  

I saw him wear that one when he played November Rain in 2012, he specifically put it on for that one song lol

So apparently Duff's ex-wife doesn't just ship Slaxl, but is also into the whole Axl/Erin thing

------------

Anyway, @killuridols, this whole discussion about Axl's family reminded me that you asked about this picture some time ago and how we know that it is Axl's sister.

I meant to reply to you, but then forgot And it's a good question, it seems to be one of these pictures where everyone just assumes/knows it's his sister, although she looks quite strange there, if it really is her. So I did some research. She does kind of look like an older version of herself in these pictures:

And this is definitely her in this picture. We know because the guy in the white sweater is her husband who is also in other pictures. Despite the fact that this is a more recent picture, she looks much younger here than in that first one. But could be the same woman I guess if she lost some weight, and grew and dyed her hair blond.

This is also definitely her. And Baz.

Kinda looks like a different person again.

Another one with Baz:

That is also her apparently:

Honestly she looks quite different to from picture to picture, but I think it's the same woman in all of them. We're probably just not used to her face, because we see her so rarely.

And while I was looking for these pictures with Baz, I also found this. Someone posted that picture in an old thread here in this forum. Seems like Axl and Stuart have very similar hair and hair lines nowadays

-------------------------------

 

@Andy14 He does seem to have lost some weight (his face is less bloated for example), but I think it's not that much yet and how he looks mostly just depends on the angle I think.

I mean he looks quite slim in the pics you posted or here for example:

But with a less flattering angle, we can clearly see his beer gut is still well and alive

Hehe Mandy is into Axl/Erin because she's from that generation of girls who dated the guys in the band. It is cool that she roots for it as much as "I" do

About Axl's sister... wow... I had not seen those pictures before. Thank you so much!

She seems to be a person who looks old no matter what age she is, lol. In the 90's she looked really old and the Rio pic, looks like her I guess, if I make a big effort too, lol.

The rest of pics she seems to have picked a better look recently. Oh and that one with Axl from the 90s, I dont think that's her. That's a whole different woman, haha.

haha they are cool! Maybe too many but thats how you pick stuff

Erin seems to be into hats as well, she posted a pic of herself wearing beautiful hat.

 

[Frey]

LOL Axl's brother-in-law looks so perfectly normal and boring. Like an accountant or something.

Imagine the family get-togethers. You're a perfectly normal guy with a perfectly normal life, but you sometimes have Axl fuckin' Rose over for dinner (and probably half of TB as well then...) because you married his sister 

Also lol @ Stu 

I just googled him and he actually seems to have studied political science in Lafayette. According to his Linked In profile at least  https://www.linkedin.com/in/stuart-bailey-19034721
