Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I was wondering if as a tribute to the Scottish people wether Axl would wear a kilt like he did in UYI days 8)

I was at the Dublin show and he wrapped an Irish flag around his shoulders and did an Irish jig, so I think it would only be fair to the Scottish people if he wore a kilt again :drool:

i sure fucking hope no.

throw one onstage and he`ll probably wear it : ok:

If he was ever gonig to wear a kilt again Scotland would be the most nature place to wear it again . . . . . . but I highly highly doubt he'll be wearing one ?: ok:

If he wears a kilt, I'll lose that much more respect for him. He's 44, not 28, and I doubt anyone would want to see a man that old in a kilt anyway.

throw him a top hat instead.

It would be incredible if he wore the kilt. : ok:

tell that to all the old scotish dudes that wear them... go on I dare ya :hihi:

I agree with you!!!

I would! What a great tribute to the fans it would be  : ok:

that would be cool. i never had a problem with him wearing a kilt, sure he looked stupid wearing one in the UYI dvd's.
haha but i doubt he'd wear one again. he's gotta get new styles  :confused:

the whole band wearing kilts !
could be funny, i easily can imagine tommy and robin with h?h?

I think itd be awsome if he wore it for maybe one or two songs....Paradise City at the end....I think itd be awsome and it would get a huge fucking crowd reaction

Yeah, If you throw one on stage, he'll probably wear it.

There will be an explosion if he does, I think it would be fun.

Go for it Axl : ok:

Yessssss!

Splendid Idea!  :D
Better yet, put on different checks respectively, not to be uniform.

haha,it would be great if he wore a kilt again ;D

Not sure the kilt from the UYI days would fit him now!  :hihi:

Let's start with Chris...........

yeah axl wearing a kilt again that would be kickass-awesome! :yes:
but i don't think that it's gonna happen :no:.. but it would be cool if someone in the band was wearing one.. like tommy and finck would be my favourites to wear one.. i think that it would fit them well :hihi:

would b funny f he did, who thinks he shaves his legs?  ;D

Did Finck not wear a kind of leather kilt at the NY shows?  Anyone know if the Glasgow show is sold out?  I tried to call the SECC today but couldn't get through.

The kilt would be cool but for some reason I doubt he will..

I think Robin is more likely to wear something this silly on stage nowadays...

But seeing Axl wearing one again would be so cool!

Show some leg, Axl!  ;D

He should wear a t-shirt with Mel Gibson on it if he truly wants to pay his respect to the Scots.

True respect would be Robin learning Flower Of Scotland or something  : ok:


Imagine this scene but singing along to Robin.

if axl shows up in a kilt i'm gonna boo him.

its not needed or wanted.

I wouldn't get close enough to them before vomiting. :hihi:

 Axl seems pretty feminine. I think he would probably would wear a dress.  :hihi:

I would certainly hope so.  Kilts are cool, and it's totally his style.  And it would be fitting in Glasgow.  : ok:

Exactly!  my dad's an old scottish dude and takes great pride in wearing his kilt - and it looks great.  I reckon axl definately should wear one - it would be a nice way to acknowledge the fact that they never bloody played in scotland before..... :no:

Mysteron - how's about you pass the message along - bring on the kilt!  :peace:

glasgow show sold out in a few days mate : ok:

Hahaha people are so serious tight-asses here.. "If Axl wears a kilt I won't respect him anymore!" :hihi: I think it would be cool.. it's only rock n' roll :beer:

there selling them loads now on ebay at buy it now price of around ?44 which is ?2 quid less than i paid on rip off ticketmaster

Hey Everyone,

Gonna stop this crap about kilts, etc. Its bordering on racism. I'm Scottish, living in Glasgow, and this thread is the same as saying,

"Would Axl wear a turban if Guns N Roses played in Delhi?"

Just because we're white and European, doesn't mean that we don't mind this racist, bigitted crap.

Give it a rest, man.

I wonder if Axl's shit will have a green tint to it when he plays Ireland........

I think you're overreacting a bit.

No, it's not the same as saying "Would Axl wear a turban if Guns N Roses played in Delhi?", because as far as I know he didn't wear a turban back in the old days. This thread did not come out of nothing, Axl used to wear it during the Illusion tour.?

i think you're overreacting a lot.  "racism" - I'm scottish too and I have no issue with kilt comments - its part of our heritage.  I think axl should wear one at this gig - and the main reasoning was that he used to wear one a hell of a lot - it wasnt just a random fashion request.  Like yours with the turban!! - come on, lighten up!   : ok:

i think axl would look stupid in one now!!!he's changed physically so much he just wouldnt look right

cool idea though

I was thinking that if someone throws one on stage, he would probably wear it over his jeans just for the fun of it.

imagine if he wore one just for the encore - the place would go wild.  If someone threw one on stage - I bet he'd be up for it.

im scottish and the comments about kilts don't offend me :no:

god everyone is so pc these days, chill out mate : ok:

A fucking Idiot is what you are.

Whereabouts in Glasgow are you so I can come round and slap you sensible.

Well he already has a ginger goatee like many Scots.  :yes:

RACIIIIST!!!!!!!! :confused:

Scotland has the highest percentage of ginger people, or Gings, of anywhere in the world. Its an actual factual statement.

It gets a bit annoying though. I have brown hair but facial hair grows in red.

yeah dood, me too. give it a few years in come in darker. my pubes came in blonde and i've got brown hair, it was freaking me out.

Not a lot of people know that what fuelled Axl Rose's rage in the early days wasnt actually any of the sexual, physical or mental abuse he may have suffered as a child, but it was in fact because he was born a ginger nut.

I thought Ireland would beat Scotland in that...no maybe that was the percentage of redheads.


:headscratch: Sorry but I fail to see a tint of racism in it.

"Will Chris wear a sari if Guns N Roses plays in New Delhi??"
"Will Robin wear an ao dai if Guns N Roses plays in Hanoi?"
"Will Tommy wear an aloha shirt if GNR plays in Honolulu?"

Do you think it was racist that they played a-ha?

chill out dude. Axl is scottish and has wore kilts before... its not like its that far of a reach or anything. It would be paying homage to his heritage.

Care to Source it?

Well, the idea of things hanging out isn't so appealing.

Wearing a kilt might very much create some buzz . . . but come on people! . . . Axl's not an organ grinder's monkey . . . dress him up as you feel fit . . . "Axl will you please wear the headband . . . wear a kilt".  Get real! I would be more concerned with the sound of the band than what they look like.

I remember reading a story about Pete Townshend circa 1975. All people in the front row would yell was "jump, Pete, jump", "do the windmill". All people wanted was to see was Pete replicate the aerobatic jumps of his youth. He found it depressing and somewhat humiliating. I think Axl must be thinking the same.

Too right - it sucks how old people try and imitate teenage fashion. Lets start a Youth for Kilts club.

Hell yeah! Kilts are hottt!  Atleast on most men anyways. 

I'm Scottish and I like wearing a kilt.? What the hell is racist about Axl potentially doing it in Scotland?? Fecking moron.

And about playing FoS - the Scorpians did it when they were supporting Judas Priest and it went down a storm.

hahaha excellent reply

I think I understand where hes coming from. Being Australian I know about misinformed national "icons". Wouldnt go over well in Sydney if a band turned up in akubras and did a whole "dingo ate my baby" routine  ::)

The Australian imagery is great.  I'm all for the, "and on the didgeridoo, Mr. Robin Finck!" 

Axl wearing a kilt, kimono, beret...I could care less.  As long as the band is jamming, that's all that matters.   : ok:

I guess the next big thread is, "Will Axl don a fez in Turkey???"

He should just get into a fight again to honor Ireland  :hihi:

And Hockey. :hihi:

i definately agree with you there.. an awful lot of people seem to want Axl to do things the same way he would have back in the old days, which is understandable, but must be hard on him.  He's changed, and maybe he wants to get past all the old 80s & 90s stuff that he did.. yes it was awesome when he did it back then, but it is not back then anymore.. it must be hard for him to try and move forward, when so many people want to be reminded of the early days.  He's changed, Guns n' Roses has changed, and I don't think a kilt really fits in with the new music of the band.  i think that yes, a kilt would be good for one of the songs from the old days, but i just can't seem to picture him singing "Better" in one.   

Either way, he's gonna so what he's gonna do, so i'm just going to sit back and enjoy the show!!   :hihi:

Well yeah, hes moved on but still released nothing new. Can you really blame people? If thats really wants going on its a case of someone trying to have a shitload of cake and eat it all too.

i don't blame people at all, thats why i said its understandable for people to want him to reinvent the old shows (and i guess i am one of them) .. i mean, i love the old days, like 'em more than the new, to be honest, but i'm just agreeing with the statement made by alternativemonkey as well - its going to be hard for Axl to make the transition, if that is in fact what he intends to do.

but like i said before.. whatever he and the current Gn'R lineup are up to, whatever it is they do, i'll be watching!

oh for god's sake - this came about because axl used to wear a kilt a lot - it wasnt even a one-off.  I dont think he should be re-creating his look from the early 90's on a regular basis at all ) lets face it, most of his outfits wouldnt really suit him that much these days.  but - it was a lighthearted, fun idea that maybe - in order to show some recognition to the people of scotland that Guns have never played there - it *might* have been a cool thing to do - to come on a kilt for one song.

its quite far removed from turban wearing in delhi or akubra wearing in Oz - seeing as Axl used to wear a kilt on stage a fair bit.  its no big deal - I just thought it would be a cool way for them to acknowledge the kilt finally appearing in the right country at the gig!


 : ok:

Hehe - not laughed so much in ages. Loved the responses to my wee rant about Axl in a kilt being racist / the turban comparison. You turkeys are just too easy to wind up. I'm shaking my head sadly at you all right now.

A bait and switch! But yeah it's not as if we demand Axl recreate his wardrobe for us. It's just a small comment that he used to wear them, and maybe for a small joke he will whip out a kilt for Glasgow.  : ok:

I think once Axl see's you in you're kilt at Glasgow, he'll be too disgusted to even consider wearing one.. :hihi:

maybe he will now, according to this it's getting popular :hihi:

Until you see my pins in a kilt, you cannot comment!
