Title: From what concert is this pic? Post by: Steve McKagan on November 19, 2006, 07:17:40 AM (http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/2544/axlinredct5.png) (http://imageshack.us)
I have always wondered. And does anyone have a high resolution version? Hong Kong or Japan 2002? I like this pic because Axl doesn't look so fat and Robin's red pants is also cool!

Title: Re: From what concert is this pic? Post by: Slashead on November 19, 2006, 07:36:54 AM Leeds?? :-\ :no: I was in Leeds...Title: Re: From what concert is this pic? Post by: Stealthcamo on November 19, 2006, 08:43:27 AM That would be from Hong Kong 2002. Here's proof from gnrontour.com
"After his insane solo act, the piano was rolled out where Axl twidled the keys like a classical solo. I never knew that Axl could play! He wore the same red velvet jacket as in the video, and changed his bandana into a red one. The band launched into "November Rain", which though I never was a big fan of the song, I loved the live version." Also I couldn'nt believe how thin Axl looked either. I guess he really wasn't all that big in 2002. Title: Re: From what concert is this pic? Post by: bazgnr on November 19, 2006, 08:49:23 AM That would be from Hong Kong 2002.

Title: Re: From what concert is this pic? Post by: Steve McKagan on November 19, 2006, 08:50:09 AM Thanks! Hmm, maybe that's the song after November Rain then (Rocket Queen)!
I also wonder who's the photographer...many questions unanswered here! Is it Hong Kong? Who took the picture? And was Axl fat or not in 2002? ?:) Title: Re: From what concert is this pic? Post by: Slashead on November 19, 2006, 08:56:19 AM And was Axl fat or not in 2002? ?:) Uhm, no. He was in better shape and looked better than in 2006 imo. He was a bit fat in RIR 2001 though. Just a bit.(http://img312.imageshack.us/img312/3243/axlroselondonfq6.th.jpg) (http://img312.imageshack.us/my.php?image=axlroselondonfq6.jpg) Click to enlarge.

He looks thinner with it. :yes: When i first saw the picture, i didn't notice his hair, so i thought it was from 90's. ;)
Title: Re: From what concert is this pic? Post by: axl2 on November 19, 2006, 11:20:44 AM I actually mistaked this pic for something in the early 90's till i saw the other musician and braids.

So: Axl looks so much cooler on this picture then he did at the VMA's and then he does now. :) Title: Re: From what concert is this pic?

Actually, I liked the football shirts more than this Dolce & Gabbana look he got now. He looks as Jon Bon Jovi now. :-\ Title: Re: From what concert is this pic?

And I know, it's the same shirt, but the jacket covers up the bagginess, and he's not wearing the ridiculous sunglasses in this pic. If not for the braids, that picture could've been mistaken for a 90's picture of the man, imho. Title: Re: From what concert is this pic?
