Is Axl Rose the New Burl Ives or is he just a douche?

It's called "puberty".

It's called getting older. A lot of people don't seem to realize the dude is in his 50s now.

 

I saw GNR live two weeks ago and Axl is still a very good frontman. He still moves around the stage really well and his voice sounded good. Yeah, he's probably still a douche, I doubt that has changed much through the years. But he can still bring it live and that's all that matters to me.

I loved GNR when they first came out. I saw them open for Aerosmith when they were supporting Appetite, and on the Use Your Illusion tour. Such a shame that they couldn't keep it together.

Saw them at their peak - just when Use Your Illusion had come out. It´s been a VERY steep downhill track since then.

20 years ago one of the Blaze brothers referred to him as "that spindly maggot" because "He just looks like a spindly maggot! Look at him and tell me he doesn't!"

He's toned it down since then. Now Axl is referred to as "That bloated maggot." Gotta love it

I didn't mean it in a bad way - just a bit surprised was all.

Ditto. Wasn't nicknamed Axl Pose for nothing.

[ILSnwdog]

Cute scarf. :sarcastic:

I did like Chinese Democracy, but then I'm a big Buckethead and Bumblefoot fan...

All the songs feel like Estranged. I like Estranged, but not a whole album of it. Everything is just too overdone.

Hmmm it's not an album full of power ballads to my ears...

I meant that every song is a "layered" production number. Even UYI 2 had stuff like 14 Years, and Pretty Tied Up, somewhat stripped down rockers.

Well you see I was never that big on G n R when they were in their heyday 1987-95, so I don't really have as much info as you...

Yeah, he is a bit of a shit.

Then I really made a good choice to avoid it. Estrange, song and video, is basically a half assed November Rain. Only good thing Axl did is give us a free Dr. Pepper.

[Presto-digitation]

All age shit aside, he's a douchebag...and now he also dresses like one.

 

Personally I think he looks like Paul Williams. Not a compliment.
