Here Today... Gone To Hell!

he's the most mysterious rock star ever, long awaited album, rare appearances, i just wonder why the stalkerazzi dont hide out and try to snap pictures of him and follow him around etc

i think its interesting that they dont

I'm glad they don't. Nobody deserves to be followed around by photographers.

Reasons:
He's not on MTV.
He doesn't have his own reality show on tv.
He didn't marry anybody famous.

I think its because you have to actually do something within the last decade for people to be interested in you. Axl Rose s awesome but, in reality, at this moment, is he revelant to the general public?

no but he is mysterious and i just figured a paparazzi person would see big dollar signs in sheddin some light to rocks most reclusive frontman

no vacation photos, no photos hangin out

has axl been able to blend back in with society? and if so how was that possible?

I guess this tells us something, no one gives a shit about Axl anymore. It cost alot of money to follow people around and take pics of em, more than you think it does. And paparrazzis arnt going to waste time on that guy if they cant make money off his pictures. You people should just face it, Axl hasnt done shit in 10+ years. And no one gives a shit about some burnt out rockstar who's album is delayed this long.

What about the mobile horse? I doubt somebody just "stumbled" upon that development.

Good question, hoser! ?:hihi:


I guess he just doesn't do anything to draw attention to himself. ?The paparrazzi are all about what's hot at the present moment. Even when Axl was popular, he wasn't a media darling. It's obvious that he prefers to keep his life private.

we do get new pics every now and then, pics when he's in chile, pics with his new car or whatever, pics when fans meet him at a restaurant, we also hear about crazy horse, that pegasus sign, and some waither in argentina had him in his restaurant i believe(might be fraud)... what i'm saying tho is that it's not much that guy can do without it going through htgth... what's interesting or mysterious about going outside to get the mail anyway???

my view is that the guy got what he wanted, he hid as long as it took for all the ignorant moneymaking rip offs to get bored and thats the coolest thing about axl, no one controlls him. sure there will be thousands of more pics and shit when he's out touring, but until then... huh well...

one: he hasn't done anything significant in the past 10 years, paparazzis figure nobody cares to see what he's up to.
two: maybe they remember his temper from back in the old days and are afraid of him. I would never have dared to take pics of Axl if I was a paparazzi! :hihi:

yes right now Axl Rose is indeed a "burnt out Rockstar" for the general public, but it could quickly change if the album is released.

First, you forget Axl's a perfectionist, what he has done is artistically conductided something special.
That's not owed to you. Washed up you say, hardly. Oh" Paparrazzi don't like cameras up there ass.
 

Those guys follow the money, period. If they aren't taking pictures of a person it means there's not a market. That translates into not much interest in Axl. Not that there couldn't be in the future. But as of now, most people have forgotten and/or don't care.

they dont get pics because he doesnt leave the house!! It must be boring for the paperazzi waiting outside of his house for days on end!

seriously though, hes not doing anything interesting as far as the general public goes.

Just watch VH1, MTV, Much Music, or any celebrity type watching show. IF Axl is even mentioned, it's usually making fun of him, alluding to him being washed up 80s hair rocker (I hate it when they call GNR hair rock). And those mentions are very few and far between. There is no cachet in "rock's most reclusive frontman". No one but us cares.

Indeed :(
Back in the 90s almost everybody knew him, only hardcore fans remember him now and even less people from the new generation ever heard him.

beein a huge part of a band that recently sold a amount of gh does not qualify 4 being unimportant imo

they and himself says he does not do a lot of outdoors stuff so a paparazzi would be pretty bored :sleeping:

Maybe he's dead or never leaves his house?

how would we know?  :confused:  :hihi:
but hey, there was intrest enough at 02 that axl complained about it n radio

 Paparazzi dont think Axl's famous anymore. Hes just another 80's frontman from a band that doesnt exist outside of a few tours. He was a huge star, But many big stars have come and gone in America since then, and the paparazzi dont follow them all around forever either.

I am surprised noone has tried to interview him when he is seen in public. Maybe Axl declines.

my guess is that they got bored...i mean nothing happened is quite a long time, so...it is better for axl, no? and i'm pretty sure if the media were all stocking him, he'd try and hide as well as he could or just give'em a plain "fuck off"... besides, nothing "official" has been said or done in some time, the media are just hunting for whatever's "hot" (and usually full of shit)...

hehe, this all sounds like somehting big is being prepaired...all this mistery...as long as Axl gets to work and focus on his music, it's for the best. What, you want to read 'bout him in the scandal mags??? ::)

somebody just give me his address and I will stalk him and get the pictures,. hahaha.  :smoking:

Nothing exciting is going on with Axl right now for the paparrazzi to really care about. Plus they know Axl wont put up with there shit. No one at all deserves to have there space invaded by people snapping there photo and throwing it on some kind of tabloid.

tommy lee shot those fuckers with an airgun :hihi: wonder what axl do when he had it :confused:

It could possibly have something to do with the fact that he is now a tired old has-been who nobody is particually bothered about.

The reason is his lack of activity. Remember after the 2002 VMA's, paparazzos photographed him while he was out shopping with Beta

Cause he hasn't done shit in years and he sits in a hole all day. 

publicly, yes

Lack of activity breeds a lack of interest within the general public. 

Papparazzi feeds on the general publics interest in a particular celebrity so that fact alone should give you your answer.

 

yeah, he dosen't do much lately :P

the reason why he is not constantly having his picture taken is becuase he isn't particularly active, in the 'showbiz sense'. z list celebrities can stumble out of a nightclub at four in the morning and make it into the papers!! if axl was doing things like that and attending fancy celeberity events i'm sure  we'd see far more pictures. as FOR AXL BEEN WASHED UP thats bullshit. Turn on mtv and vhi1 and you typicaly wont see people making fun of axl. You will guns n roses time after time topping the polls. Only last week appertite was voted the greatest album of alll time on mtv2. So there is definetely still an interrest in axl and what he achieved,  but axl ain't no media whore. Can you imagine axl being chased by paparazzi!!? or by anyone for that matter!? they no better than to fuck with him.

fully agree with axl8302,  : ok:

i think if he was publicly active and more "around" t would

I think there still is "some" interest in axl (i.e. rock magazines incl' spin, rolling stone, kerrang, classic rock etc. had features of him on their covers with words of, "what we need now is another axl rose".  as well, vh1/much more music have many shows that feature gnr!  I am shocked at the amount of recording of these show I have done recently with material pertaining to gnr)...however, only "rockers" are interested.  Not the mainstream folks (i.e. adult contemporary/hip hop/country music fans, etc, etc.)  and at the moment rock ain't that popular.  Think about which "celebrity" is being hounded the most at the moment?  J. Lo, Paris Hilton, Anna Nicole Smith, jess and Nic....i.e. housewife material garbage!
Plus even though gnr/axl was famous for thier music, they were also famous for thier antics....YET axl has not put out music or been acting up lately!  Plus, he is past "his prime" with regards to music (bands only really have an average lifespan of two albums or so...nothin lasts forever....even cold november rain....)
I personally would hound him if I lived in L.A., but I don't and maybe that's for the best (don't wanna be locked up...haha) ;D

Axl never comes out anymore.  If he does, it's in secret to the Village Studio.  Even his bandmates don't know his going sometimes. 

And you know this because?

Everybody who's not in the papers all the time is a recluse?



/jarmo

It's not like the paparrazzi particularly or personally care who's hot or not at any given moment, the reason they decide to hound someone & shoot their pics is to be able to SELL them to the mags & rags who publish those pics. If those mags & rags were to to pay the photogs for their pics of Axl, if they were to make it worthwhile, they'de be camped out at his house, waiting. The mags aren't going to pay anything for the pics, no one cares about Axl anymore, save the rabid net-nerds, hence, they don't follow him.

You think the Star, Globe, Nat'l Enquirer is going to pay some photog $10,000 for a pic of Axl walking down the street like they would  a pic of Jennifer Garner or Cameron Diaz sunbathing topless on some beach somewhere? 

Axl has nothing to give to the media at all right now when he puts this album it will be all on eyes on Axl, Axl is still mentioned quite a lot today and so on but hopefully you'll see a change soon.

I have been assured by a doctor that having your photo taken, even by a member of the media does not hurt or cause permanent injuy.  I'm tired of whiney celebrities who will do anything and anyone to get famous and then bitch and moan about having their photos taken.  Usually their main problem is that they get photographed in the company of someone other than their spouse and that is the real cause of their ire. 

If you don't like being famous then fuck off and work at mcdonalds.  There are people with much crappier lives and much less money who get through their day without being such whiney little cry babies.  Life sucks, get over it.

i think Axl8302 is right Axl is not in the magazines not because he is not important but because he hides of public , its not like the paparazzis take pictures of people that doe stuff all day , Paris hilton? they take pictures of her before her video and her show , they take pic of celebrites that i dont even know , so its not about that .

and all people saying that people dont give a shit about Axl anymore is amazingly ignorant , im not saying that they dont have the right of saying that , but you are in a Guns fan site and dont even know the impact of Axl in the industry , he is a legend , new bands are inspired by him and by Guns , yes he is not "popular" but he is important for alot of people.

Well said.

fuck that mother fucking horse shit... no one gives a shit cuz hes probably doing normal stuff, either that or they know hed whip their asses if he caught them

Has Axl ever appeard on celebrities uncensored?

Let`s hire one!  8)

The reason so-called 'celebs' get followed around is because their P.R. company has informed the press where they will be sighted... it's as simple and tacky as that. Be greatful Axl doesn't involve himself in circles such as that.

Yeah.


The worst thing is that they'll bitch about the gossip "papers" writing about them and once they stop, they'll complain about not being in them anymore....

It really doesn't bother me that Axl's not in the National Enquirer or whatever they papers are called.




/jarmo

but when he is on one, and we finaly got some real news, then we're all glad jarmo .... so don't diss these papers, cause we keep complaining about rumors and that we don't have real news....

also, axl is a public person, so by entering this life he made the choice to give away some of his private life ... thats the other side of the coin

It would be nice to have real news, but we don't need gossip papers for that.




/jarmo

yes i saw him in one show , he was signing a guitar , i also saw one of Slash and a stupid guy telling him that he was a fake Slash because the real one went with him to a gym and he knew him perfectly , the face of Slash is funny he was surpise .

I agree with Jarmo, I don't think the damn papparzi should follow anyone around.  >:(

I think it would just make Axl want to stay away from the music game even more.

i think its cuz he has a mad temper and people think hes a washed out rocker. but its good. which twat wud like a camera up their ass 24/7????

Axl WAS  a celebrity and WAS a huge Rockstar. Now, the guy seems like burnt by this glory past, and ravaged by the pressure he had to live with during the 87-93 erea. This is the impression I have. Axl may re-become one of the most talked-person in the music industry if CD is released. But as soon as this dawn album won't be released, I don't see why paparazzi should track him.
