gnrdestructx Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I come across a few websites that list Axl as a Polish/American... I never knew this. Is this true and does anyone know the connection he has with Poland...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 He claims he's half Scottish. Some ridiculous lineage his family must have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillionsOfSpiders Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Duff said his grandad came from Ireland to the US as an illegal immigrant, so that’s why he says he’s Irish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff even got an Irish passport because of his ancestry. Axl has made reference to his German and Irish or Scottish blood. In a concert in Ireland or Scotland (cannot remember which one), he mentioned that with his red hair, he couldn't deny his local ancestry. Never heard about Polish.
