zigzagbigbag Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Hi I am a skateboarder as well as a GNR fan for about 30 years now each. Nevertheless, To date I am still not aware whats the story behind the below 80s pic of Axl presenting a Powell Peralta Mike McGill board.

Popular Post ludurigan Posted May 15, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) this was a few months after appetite release and the album wasnt really selling (prior to MTV playing the Jungle video) and Geffen was threatening to fire Tom Zutaut & the band so axl started doing side jobs (modeling for up and coming skate & surf brands and bartending at the Cathouse) to pay the bills izzy did the same but instead of modeling he became a team rider Edited May 15, 2018 by ludurigan 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, listening can't be his strong suit or else why would he have ever released Chinese Democracy? 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's rumors Axl/Slash did some of that too (during the Hell House days) - but they were smart enough to never mention it publicly unlike Steven. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are probably still people waiting on drink orders that he hasn't "perfected" just yet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzagbigbag Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 In this context a cool shirt which is based on the legendary Powell Peralta Ripper logo and was released a few years ago by a small skate brand (from Australia, if i do remember correctly).
