I always thought it was from before 1985. But with Duff and Slash in it, it must be at least 86, right? Anyway, it was before touring with The Cult and that singer's girlfriend as nothing to do with Axl's bandana or his straight hair.

In my head I picture Axl eloping with Melissa. Hand in hand, running into a bright future of game soundtracks and social media full of teenage slang and emojis. Sorry for the double posting.

Blackstar Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) 43 minutes ago, Tori72 said: Thanks for that. Really interesting. I also missed Stella's post in the old thread. I wonder though, because I am quite sure I have seen a picure of Izzy and Axl, leaning against a fence or something. Axl looks more like a hippie than anything else and is wearing a bandana. Or am I imagining this? And what about his hair straightening? His hair is straight, right? Like in old mugshots. I don't remember Axl with a bandana before 1987, but I haven't seen as many pictures as other people here. Your description of the Axl-Izzy picture vaguely reminds me of something though. His hair wasn't completely straight in pictures from 1982-83, maybe because of the different haircut: It looks like he had the same haircut in these Hollywood Rose pictures, but his hair are straightened: Edited March 5, 2017 by Blackstar 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is this closer video (starts at 15:36), but it's still difficult to tell who he's saying it to (he also said something else with "beautiful" right before that) because the stage lights were out.

BorderlineCrazy Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I'm not sure I got Ian Astbury's comments right. Did he say Slash said something negative about the tour with The Cult on his book?

That would be odd considering a year or so later he called Ian to sing on his album (and he did it) From what I remember, the only negative comment in Slash's book about The Cult and the tour with them was that their guitarist, Billy Duffy, was kind of a snob. Other than that, he said they got along very well with them. 1 hour ago, BorderlineCrazy said: How in hell can he remember that?

MillionsOfSpiders Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I watched all of KOHD from Dubai and a little bit after the desert story Axl says it would be the Abu Dhabi desert ADD kind of like his ADHD. So, Axl has ADHD for definite? Its between the 7th and 8th minute on the song. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frey Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) @RooSaa Thanks, you're right, I forgot Slash had that tat. He's got too many these days, I don't remember them all anymore 13 hours ago, Blackstar said: There’s a camaraderie that we’ll have that nobody else will ever experience. My girlfriend at the time straightened Axl Rose’s hair and put one of my bandanas on his head and that became his look. That was my look! http://2fast2die.com/2012/03/interview-cult-singer-ian-astbury-aims-new-weapon-at-sxsw-talks-then-now-beyond/ Ian Astbury (or his gf) may not be responsible for Axl wearing bandanas, but this is definite proof Axl was familiar with straightening irons lol. @Tori72 There've been a lot of discussions in the old thread (and in other threads...) about Axl's hair and why it looks the way it looks today and so on. The quote above (and the pictures of young Axl that @Blackstar posted) all indicate to me that Axl's hair is just naturally a bit wavy and he used to straighten it a lot back in the day, but didn't when he was younger and doesn't now, hence the waves/curls. And I remember someone saying that his hair being shorter now / having been in shorter layers when he was younger makes it easier for the hair to curl as well. 10 hours ago, sanity_lost said: "You're beautiful too, Frank." I love that for some reason. I am not even going to try to figure out why. Yeah, right? I can't explain it, but this made me laugh lol. Seriously though, I think Axl and Melissa have some kind of big brother / little sister thing going on. But IF there's something more, I have to say I wouldn't be completely opposed to that. Like someone said, at least she's not some kind of socialte/model etc, she's not 20, and they seem to have a lot of common interests. And they seem to be on the same level, maturity-wise (Just kidding, I actually think Melissa is probably a pretty intelligent and ambitious woman in reality and the whole way she acts and talks is just some kind of cutesy hyper Asian girl persona she presents to the public or something.) 7 hours ago, MillionsOfSpiders said: I watched all of KOHD from Dubai and a little bit after the desert story Axl says it would be the Abu Dhabi desert ADD kind of like his ADHD.

You have to wait for a little bit after the first story. You're right, I'm sorry. I stopped listening to the song after the first story because I can't stand KOHD lol. But yeah, ADHD: "... that would be the Abu Dhabi Desert Virginity, right? It's like ADDV. Kinda like my ADHD." @killuridols I watched two different videos of KOHD and he definitely says ADHD. That said, I wouldn't really take it as definite proof of anything. A lot of people joke about having ADD/ADHD. And in the other video I saw you can see Axl grinning when he says that as well. On the other hand, it's not a far-fetched diagnosis for Axl. His school teachers did make him sound like a kid with ADHD in their descriptions and some of his adult behavior fits as well. It's quite possible he acquired an ADHD diagnosis somewhere along the way. Either way, first time Axl has brought up anything mental health-related about himself in a long time though, so definitely interesting. Thanks for pointing that out @MillionsOfSpiders.
