quadlaser Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 ok, show me the old and new pictures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jah772 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) The old picture is the one that has been posted of Axl holding the cigar with the dudes from the studio. The base picture is probably just some random image Simon has found. He has just edited the head from the cheeks up onto the face of some guy in another picture. It could be any picture from anywhere, but it is definately not Axl. Ever seen "celebrity nude fakes"? They are the same concept--put a celebrity's head or portion of their head over a body from some random porn picAnyone with any digital media or graphics experience want to back me up?Edit: Coma2k's anim. should be enough evidence for anyone. If you are still skeptical, look at the blowups that someone posted, the highlights and shadows in the two pictures are identical.

jah772 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) Eh, this is decent:Anyone see what I am saying??Edit:The fraud pasted the part I have circled in red(minus a little on the right ear-I messed up), over the face of some random guy smiling. Only the parts I have circled have anything to do with axl, and they are stolen from an authentic picture in order to make this forgery Edited January 11, 2006 by jah772 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jah772 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Just to make sure people see this:I dunno what to say about the band mic in his hand or the drumsets, but my only guess is that Simon used a base pic of some guy from a band. I am a sophomore majoring in digital media(I know this prob. doesnt mean much) but I use photoshop every day, and have been using it for at least the last seven years, and I am 100% positive it is a fake. I know I am a newbie, but I guess youll either have to take my word for it, or wait for Simon to fess up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadlaser Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 eh, that's one hell of a photoshop job if that's the case. i still can't believe there was a singer, with a mouth and chin similar to axl's, in front of a drumset that looks similar to brain's.i guess it's more probable than axl seeing the light of day. i still say it's him, but i see how you got to think what you do. oh well. no offense or anything jah.

T Patten Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 This is fucking rediculous.The person who made this picture copied the top of the head from the older axl photo and pasted it on top of someone else. It is painfully obvious that they are the same picture, as the highlights and shadows are in the same exact places. The color of the top of the head has been corrected.The merge lines around the cheeks are painfully obvious. The artist did not even bother to flip the head so that the vanishing points in the two pictures would line up. When the rest of the head is painted on, it is obvious how quick a job this was.As i would've put it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamme Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 the person on the photo looks like Axl, but it's not him...sorry, simon... Im not quote sure, but out of boredome I tried something ... I tried color correcting the picture in question in comparing it to the ferrari shot ... some shadows look the same, but others dont ... I've been doiung graphics work for years, and if this is a fake its a real good one ... The photo in question, the person's neck is turned to the right just a little compared to the ferrari where it pretty dead on straight .... The photo in question, the eyebrows are more arched like someone where smiling and they are dead on to Axl in the ferrari shotAlso, i know people are saying that the photo was cropped from the mouth up ... well, the chin is identical to every shot of axl .. And in my own mind, if this was supposedly at a party that no one thought would go public ... I think Axl doesnt scowl all the time ... All things considered ... Who knows ... Im leading towards this was a pic from a private party for personal use and some tool released it for fun .... And now only that I want it, I very clearly remember a pic from 91 era when he had a mic sticking right into the camera with a big stupid smile ... just like this one ...alot of smiliarities, alot of subtle differences ... only time will tell ... http://www.newenglandbands.com/EXTERNAL/Lo...eneral/edit.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamme Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 some people on here should seriously consider a career with the CIA... Actually I think Im wrong ... looking closer at this, i think everything from the top of the eyebrows down to the top of the lips are fake, then from the bottom of the lips to the chin ... I need a life in the worst way, but there is a pretty visible difference in pixelation in at least 3 spots ... i think someone added the chin and the eyes ... if this is a fake, they did good work ...

none Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Thats a good job but the finished head still looks irregular. The other photo doesnt look quite as photoshopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eschman Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hmm, it has nothing to do with MUSIC coming out from Axl, so, fake or not, I don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slashaxlgnr Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Dude seriously....that looks nothing like him....come on as if axl would even go out in public these days.....he's probably still a loner like he was in the glory days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is painfully obvious that they are the same picture, as the highlights and shadows are in the same exact places. The color of the top of the head has been corrected.This is exactly what i thought. The brow and eyebrows match just too well to not be the same photo. There are some things in the photo that look too good to be true. Itd be very hard to get all these features to look exactly the same in two different photos if they werent faked. Im talking angles, shadows, expressions etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
