For some of you guys on here! Let's leave a PIMP out of this.  ;)

My guess would have to be "an inventor" ( Howard Huges type of mind).

Selling Oranges. I have no idea ??? Selling Oranges or in jail. He was ment to do this. If he didn't I doubt things would have turned out too good for him. I think you coudl likely say the same thing about all the original members. The new guys not so sure. Don't know their history as well ???

Axl said himself in an interview many years ago if he wasn't singing, he'd be "photographing women."

I just see him as a failure if he wasn't such a success... he has no real education, even though we idolize him as a genius.. He'd never be a lawyer IMO.  Probably working at a CVS just so he has access to pills...

I just dont see the guy ever having a boss.  I could see him being on one of those get rich quick info-mercials or maybe like a free lance truck driver.  Seriously, how long do you think it would take him to get through college let alone law school?

He'd be dead by now I guess, OD'd. If not dead, prolly behind bars. And I'm dead serious about it, that guy can count his lucky stars that GNR got a break and made it big.

That's a good question.I can't even imagine him doing something else. Too hard to believe. But he said he would be a lawyer, so I guess I am going to go with that. But he dropped out of school so I don't know how that was going to happen...

Ya, I can't see him doing anything else either!  But it crossed my mind.  I think he would definately would have been doing something in the music industry maybe, especially involving piano.

I can see Axl as a lawyer. Calling the opposition "homefuck" and going on 10 minute rants in the courtroom. "I rest my fuckin' case!"  :hihi:

providing that he didn't choose a front man/artist for his career, right?

an after-office-karaoke-freak lawyer. :hihi:
Like already mentioned, I read that because of the experience with the court, he wanted to be a lawyer if not a musician before he started the band. At that point, He could have got an education to be a lawyer if he had really wished, I think. With his strong will, it shouldn't have been impossible at all.

Generally speaking, to lead a band to be the biggest in the world is much harder anyways.

I'm going with this. He'd of pissed off the wrong guy and got himself shot, because we see how bad a temper he can have.

Well I think Axl Is the Man!   BUT....   

He would be fat.  I real big gut.
He would be bald!  Ya Ya..  He would.

He wouldnt have a choice career, because he has no education right...   

If the music didnt pan out, he probably would try and be a writter or something..  I think...

That or just an other guy, like so many others, in so many cities.   Sitting on his porch, thinking what if I made it.  Drinking a beer, with his pregnant wife, working in a mill or plant some place...   He couldnt stand that life style so he would get into trouble.   Bank robbery I think.   And probably end up in jail...

haha, sorry Axl.    You are the best though dude!

No doubt in my mind that he'd be managing a record store if he stayed in Indiana (if he didn't lose his temper and deck the boss).?

And if he came to L.A., he would have worked his way up through the retail records ranks to? be an A&R guy for a label.? Or, he would have scraped together his own indie label (courtesy of a rich girlfriend's family) and discovered another 'Seattle.'? ?8)

I truly believe that Axl Rose was born to be one of the greatest rock-n-roll frontmen that have ever lived.  I believe that he was born to succeed at this.  Had he not, I hate to say he'd be "dead" or "in jail", or even "working a remedial service job", but those options are quite often the outcomes for musicians who don't make it (and even some who do).

Axl does have a knack for writing; I could see him writing some crazy fucked-up memoirs (? la Augusten Burroughs) about his crazy fucked-up life and making a living (and garnering a modicum of notoriety) in that way.  Heck, he could still write a book.  I'd buy it!

Rearrange the letters in Axl Rose and you get "Oral Sex".? I've heard that he didn't intend this, unlike another great frontman, Jim Morrison ("Mr. Mojo Risin'").

Yeah,I know,the reason i said that was because i wanted it to sound stupid,when the reason you think about sex when you hear axl is because he is so fuckin hot..hope someone understands what i'm trying to explain,i'm not very good at it :P
