uhh... gypsysoul did you intend for your last 5 posts to be blank?

Patience ;)

If Gypsy won't post BETTER? ;D scans until tomorrow morning, I can do some at work, cause got that Vouge today. And then send them to someone - Jarmo, Adam, Christos ? - any volunteers? BTW I don't have any account at any hosting site.

J

where it's "blank" now there were pics before : ok:

I think the scans are coming soon....



/jarmo

right on, thanks in advance gypsysoul : ok:

Thanks Gyspsy, cant wait to see them with better scans then before!  :drool: (Please don't watermark them up too much  ;D :yes:)

great pics... THANKS  : ok:

Ok, I see them now....

SO COOL!!!!!!!  :drool: :drool: :drool:

jarmo, the watermarks are horrible...  i mean, this is a great board, but it's not that great that you have to ruin the photos  ::)

kool pic's thanks'

again

Could you imagine axl being in vogue 3 years ago!  :confused:

oh come on... why do you care about watermarks when you have such great pics... just to complain ?::)

I love these pics.  I hope more like this come out. 

Oh my god, I nerver cared about his styling much, but this ... holy frak, can you say STYLE. ?:smoking:

Good job Gypsy!

But you lost one page with Sasha's naked butt and the rest of the text ?:hihi:

thank god i saved them before that happened.

because the watermarks ruin the pictures

thank you very much for posting!  :drool:



but are the watermarks really nessesary?  ???

The pictures belong to vogue as well, not to HTGTH.

In my opinion, watermarks should only be used if it's youre picture....

but I'm gratfeful to atleast be able to see these, though kind of sucks you can't use them for anything else cuz the watermarks, but no biggy.

You can look at them here:
http://picasaweb.google.com/danielesforza/AxlUomoVogue
 :drool:

Well, how would you like it if you'd spent time buying the magazine, scanning the photos, hosting them, posting them only to find people take them and don't give any credit for any of the work you've done?


The watermarks are there for good reason and from previous experience.

Gypsysoul's scans are much better than those

and the person that scanned them put HTGTH watermark on them... she has her reasons... why didn't you buy a magazine, scan them and put them without watermarks... I didn't comment if I like them or not... I just said we have great pics and no need to complain... and this is Axl not Watermark thread as well...

This isnt a rare magazine or anything so I'm sure that we'll get more scans, don't worry.

I wish we could have those pics in real quality though, they rock! If I forgot already, thanks Gyspy! : ok:

But the pictures aren't yours.... how would you like it if L'Uomo Vogue or sante d'orazio sued HTGTH?  This recently happened to Perez Hilton.

Also, I beleive it was Gypsysoul (not you or jarmo) who scanned the pics, so why is HTGTH plastered all over the pics (apparently the watermarks were added after gypsysoul posted them)

what's up with putting the watermark right below his goatee is  :hihi:

And it was GypsySoul who watermarked them I believe... and watermark is commonly used to prevent bandwidth theft

Because gypsy can write whatever the fuck she wants on them?

didn't gypsysoul  initially post them without watermarks, then they were reamoved while we were all 'patient'

No, they had watermarks on them originally, so there you would be wrong.

no... and there goes another thread ruined by stupid complains... ?:no:

ups Adz was faster  :)

Then why did Horsey say "good thing I saved them before they were taken down"  :nervous:

Ok but not every picture is here. Thats why I gave the address for the other web site ?:peace:

Horsey says a lot of things  :nervous:

that pic of him holding the cigar is awsome 8)

WOAH! :o
Now THAT is the sort of thing I wanna see more of! :peace:
Good to see that he's doing photoshoots!

  We need someone to translate this for us!!!!!!!!!!!!

 :D

(Thanks Wando)

No offense but the copyrights kinda ruin it...Especially when they're big, bold and in the middle of the pics.
You should put them in one corner with some opacity filter so they can blend in the pics...

Kinda like this you know:

(http://i16.tinypic.com/2e4c5le.jpg)

check the post above you ;D

Does every thread have to end up in a childish bit of whining? For fucks sake young fella, Adz gave his reasons for the pics being watermarked and they are perfectly reasonable! Just go with it! This thread should be about nothing other than how fucking cool these pics are! It's really not worth whining about a little thing such as a watermark! Mike

 ?Cool pics, but a bit too much make-up in my opinion!

wow some of those pics axl had make up on!!! could they be from a photo/video shoot???

Thanks  :beer:

Thanks EFISH and Wando! Much better!!

Has anyone taken a crack at translating the text? ?It looks like there are some quotes from Axl in there. ?I realize that the quotes will probably be about his clothes and what he likes to wear/why he likes to wear what he does. ?But I still wanna know!!

;D

I mean for the pictures. You took the time to buy the magazine and scan them and post them here.

i was not talking shit ok.think whatever you want.there they are you see now.(seeming pissed off again ) who said i say alot of things can kiss my ass !

Thanks but don't worry, I got what I need a lil' earlier... ;)

EXACTLY! 

And thanks for backing us up here, will.  people on this board are to quick to say "quit complaining, blah blah" when in reality they know it sucks but are to afraid to speak their mind.

Are these the good scans then? (Up on wills site)

[AdZ edit: George Chin asked for that picture not to be linked to/posted.]

Too bad there small.


Anyway, great pics, the one with the cigar is just  :drool: :drool: :drool:

No, will has the shitty versions on his site too.  notice the huge horizontal purple bars, etc.

why do you have to ruin the pictures with the stupid HTGTH wiriting?

Fantastic!  Thanks...

Why do you have to make the same whiney comment that are contained within mosts of the posts in this thread? ::)

You do realize that complaing about people complaining is even worse than people complaining about something.

Damn, these are some awesome pics! Axl looks amazing! ?:drool: And I think the pics of him and Sasha (?) together are very beautiful.

Yes, it is Sasha

cool!!!!!!! so instead of discussing the pics.. we discuss the writing someone who was cool enough to post 'em for us... good job!!!!!  : ok: .....  :-\

anyways... i say these pics are from video/photo shoot...   :P

I know...I'm a hypocrite :hihi:
But I don't mind people complaining....but this photoshoot is a positive thing and it seems that all most people are focusing on is the watermark! These are some awesome photo's and this thread is being overshadowed with complaints about it :no:

Everybody whining, you go out and buy a magazine for $15, then tear it apart so you can properly scan it. Then post it here and get no credit whatsoever because many people will copy the pics snd post them as their own "work".


Do that a few times over the years and you'll know why GypsySoul put those watermakrs on her scans.

She's been posting scans for us for years and she learned quickly that there are many people out there, who have no problems with taking credit for the time and money somebody else spent on scanning the magazines.

Those watermarks will also serve as a good reason why you should buy the magazine if you enjoy the pics.



/jarmo

Can you find this magazine in the U.S or just Europe?

Fair enough, but if I were her I'd probably just put my own name on them...  ;)

I swear to God, he's gonna rule the world one day...

LMFAO, no shit!  great response!

I did that many times over the years, and I had a different take on it...people will take credit for it in the end, so I still put a copyright on pics sometimes in one corner but with some opacity so it's not too annoying (and people can crop it for their personal use). I know it sucks when people don't credit you but on the internet it's almost impossible to fight...unless you do something that alters the initial intent.

I actually spend a lot of money to put stuff up on my site too but I don't think money is the issue. I like GypsySoul and I think she brings something good to this board but I've always been against her copyrights on her scans (that can be seen in my posts history lol). Different views, but we're all fans in the end, and if I understand why she does that, I disagree with it. Just my point of view.

Edit: EFISH: I believe GypsySoul is in the US so I'm guessing you can get it there.

You mean they put watermarks on pictures to get credit for the time and money they spent SCANNING the pictures?  How god damn expensive is it to scan a picture?  Especially if you own one...  And really.  How long does it take to scan 10 pictures...  10 minutes?  15 minutes?  Wow.  That's worth writing your name all over a picture and fucking it up.   ::)

I know you can get the magazine in the US but I dont know where. Any ideas?

Oh...by the way. ?Good pictures of Axl... ?;D

I'm guessing WH Smith, Barns & Noble ?

Here's hoping :beer: :hihi: :peace:

Okay, you do it then.

Thanks everyone for the scans.

Someone please get cracking on the translation!

this is sad... people like me that live no where near a good newsstand that carries international magazines have no way of buying this magazine and now i only have the crappy scans cuz the good ones are all watermarked :'(

i don't get it, you say the watermarks are there to justify the amount of time and money spent in those scans.. fine.. but then if you're going to be all gritty about it, why scan them in the first place?? i thought whoever wanted to scan them was to make the community of fans happy and give the opportunity for people like me to get to see the pics, if you're doing it for any other reasons maybe you shouldnt do it at all.. if it really was about sharing with other fans then it shouldn't matter how much time and money you spent scanning them and if people don't credit you.. it's the internet, there will always be some asholes, but either you do it for the sake of sharing without expecting anything else or you just don't do it.

Well it looks like this issue will be a sell out then i definatly want a copy if any one can help with where to get a copy in the uk please contact me or if someone can get an extra spare copy i will cover all expenses and more for that person

Ya Axls got alot of style...He looks fucking Bad Ass

Do not worry, the good quality scans in high resolution will eventually end up on the internet. It will just take a few days. I think W.H. Smith in Paris will have this, I'll check into it.
In the meantime, let's just enjoy what we have and be patient. :)

Nice pictures thanks GypsySoul.

can someone please translate what has been written, my Italian is... shall I say non existant.

Aren't people like you seeing the scans posted on page 1?

Maybe there's something wrong with your browser settings...



I'm glad you all enjoyed the scans so much. What a bunch of crybabies some of you are.

Next time GN'R is in a magazine, I'm counting on seeing tons of scans from some of you with no watermarks!

I mean since Gypsy's scans are that annoying, maybe she should retire and let the scanning experts here do the same job.  : ok:




/jarmo

Hey guys whats wrong with you  ??? Be grateful that someone scanned those, and that you don't have to buy the magazine.

Is nobody interested when this pictures were taken? What is this L'uomo Vogue magazine about? And could someone try to translate it to english. I don? what language that is  :confused:

cool pics, ?too much make up though. the one with the cigarrete is great ?:smoking:

anyway, thanks so much.

now i'm curious to know what he says in it. ?:o

If I'm not mistaken, this mag is the italian version of Vogue for men.

I don't understand the "fight" about the copyrights. Some disagree with them, it's not the end of the world. I personally stated already previously that I do appreciate what GypsySoul does but it doesn't mean I have to agree with everything she does. And yes, if I see exclusive pics of GN'R I would post them, but I didn't see any yet in a mag here. lol

:no: Cant find it

sorry Jarmo, the scans even with watermarks do the job just fine, so yeah, i guess i should be thankful for that, and i am

and believe me, if i could get a hold of that magazine or any other magazine featuring Axl in it i would most definitely scan every bit of it and post it without the watermarks, but that's just me, i wouldn't do it any other way

thing is, that even though i have a great scanner, i live in a shithole where nothing like these magazines can be found, so that's why i feel so impotent here cuz i'd gladly have scanned these pics if i had the magazine!

I think they are silly. They were not taken by anybody at HTGTH, they should be taken off.......



Damn skippy, having HTGTH across them is probably not legal (I'm not sure, just guessing), since they do not own the rights to these pics. They are great pics though, for sure. But the watermark should be taken off, they are not the property of this website are they?

That's fine Jarmo, but I do want to say that not everyone can get the magazine. ?I live in Raleigh NC, and every single bookstore that sold international magazines did not sell Men's Italian Vogue. ?They just don't carry it. I understand why someone who paid for the magazine is annoyed that they paid for it while everyone else enjoys it for free, and it is appreciated that they scanned it in the first place. ?But if I could have bought the magazine myself, I would have. ?A lot of us didn't have the option.

Some of the best Axl photos I've ever seen!

http://www.ebay.com/

AdZ, that was the first place I looked, but if you can find it for sale, send me the link and I will bid on it.  Last time I checked there was no active auction.

Yeah sadly it isn't on there

Oh wow, good idea.

Maybe they're there so there's no fucking doubt about who's scans are stolen (in case anybody tries)?

Maybe they're there so that people who have the possivbility to buy the magazine will do it?

Maybe they're there to sure other sites won't post the scans because they can't stand mentioning a name of another site and because the scanner only intended them to be posted here for us (and not all over the Internet)?



/jarmo

Once again, patience.  Everything gets on ebay.

There was a time once when the internet didn't exist and it would've been a lot harder seeing these pictures, watermark or no.

Awesome photos!!!!!! Thanks for taking the time to scan them. They work for me! Does the article say anything special?

If you don't own rights to a pic, you should take your name off it.

Looks to me as if they are already all over the internet anyway.

They are awesome, I agree.

It's pretty obvious the watermarks don't claim to "own" the pic.  ::)




/jarmo

all i can is WOOOOOW !!!

and the couple is together on the shots !!!

lovely, very very lovely.... ;D ;D ;D ;D

merry xmas songbirds... ;D

I wonder what the magazines take would be on that?

You can get mad about it if you want, I'm just saying I think it is not cool to do. If somebody (a poster) took some great pics of Axl at a concert and then put HTGTH across it, that is one thing. Taking professional photos and doing the same thing is lame IMO, no matter who does it. To be honest, I think it takes a lot of nerve to get pissy about  it too.

yea, if i was the photographer, i would be pissed if someone took my art and wrote HTGTH right across the focal point is big gross red writing.....

And what do you think of the fact that she went out to look for the magazine, paid for it, ripped it apart, scanned the pictures and posted them for you without asking for anything in return?


I think this is the last time you'll see any of her scans here. I don't think she'll want to deal with this shitstorm again just because she thought it was a nice thing to credit the only GN'R board she posts at as the origin of these scans.



/jarmo

Nice photos of Axl. Thank you.  :)

Don't you think your arguments are kind of spoiling the thread guys ?

I mean, let's just enjoy the photos, fuck the rest !!!

That was nice of her, and I think everybody appreciates it, I sure do.

Kujo and I sent plenty of updates when we didn't have to either. We just did it to be an active part of the GnR Community, and share what was going on.  Just like many other posters here send updates when they don't have to.

None of us asked for one thing in return. A simple thanks was good enough.

damn these are great pictures.  thanks for posting them!  he's such a stylish badass.  he looks exactly like what a rich rock star should look like in 2006.  i like the one where he's sitting in the helicopter reading the tabloid.  and you can't beat the big pimp in an expensive suit with his chick wearing nothing but shoes.

post the god damn pictures without watermark and nobody whines.
several thank you in one thread is enought credit, why does she care if someones use them somewhere else, she ain't getting her money back anyway.
if she does it for " credit " and to be sure that people know that she bought the magazine with her money and what ever, then she needs to find a job

if she does it to be nice LIKE EVERYFUCKIN BODY here who post things when they find them, then she quits the watermark, wich are so 1993 anyway.

:)

other than that BIG THANKS to those who posted the clear ones.


PEACE,

To put your watermark on them is to claim ownership or rights - You don't have either. I work for a major photo agency and can guarantee this. Vogue and the photographer can ask to be compensated for damages. How many people here would've bought the magazine? May have been 1000, may have been 1 - now it's probably zero. I agree with SLCPUNK that to get upset about people calling you out is incorrect. You freely banish and delete some posts that are opinion yet a post containing illegal photos is ok?

Nice pix though.

lol...
did she really need to rip it apart to scan it  :hihi:

anyways, sarcasm aside...
cewl photos, nice to see him out there.
things are moving in the right direction.
interesting weeks are ahead of us.

and I'm not bitching or whatever, but, still a reminder, we have yet to see the whole band photos.

Guys stop talking all the time about the watermarks.

Can we find anyone who could translate it properly from Italian into English?

I gues Mr. D'Orazio says some interesting stuff how he met Axl this spring in NY... refers to that Axl's act photo with skull as "MEMENTO MORI" ?:hihi: that's a good one!
... he continues that in the meantime he had some retrospective exhibitions and met again in London at the end of the European tour... calls the photo session with Sasha a "photographic farce" (if I understood correctly he took 4 - 5 shots and made an album of them)
I'm not an expert... I understand like every fifth word in it ?:peace: - took only one semester of Italian language at the university
Now I regret ?;) just a bit

theres the internet translators....
just use one of those if u are interested.

Yes, great pics. I wish I could read the article. Thanks!

 8)

And we'll get some crap translation - thanks but won't use your tip

I don't understand the " photographic farce" side of it.

But god they look erotic together, she is very feline like..

better than deciphering every 5th word...
but whatever. I just tried to help. no need for the attitude.

It would be great if someone translated it!  :)

I hope its only the begining, and soon we will have every week bunch of magazines with Axl and whole band  together  :drool:

Hey Mr. Lucky - go ahead and do the effort and bring us even the internet translation of that text in English
I'm not in any attitude to you - don't read too much in people's words when there's nothing behind
Wrote those few things that seemed interesting to me and to make others with fluent Italian curious, in order to get a proper translation ?:peace: ?

I think it is iteresting what an old friend have to tell the world about Axl now: both literaly and by his pictures

Are you gonna do that next time you edit together somebody else's bootleg footage? Or put together videos of demo tracks leaked online?

Aren't you claiming ownership of illegally recorded material when you put your site's name on the videos?

Same thing on a little different scale...



You want me to remove them?

It's not a problem really.


First Beta gets attacked for posting here, then Gypsysoul for posting scans. What a nice bunch of people.




/jarmo

first of all, sorry, i will not talk about watermarks in my post.
thx to the people who bought the magazine and provided us the pictures.

these are cool shots. the one with the helicopter...*attitude*.

we can notice than the record company has not yet renegocied the contract,
no expensive dolphins around.

the one with the cigar is cool too.
and the one with the red shirt is just great.

did Axl had something to his eye ? it seems it's *very* made up to hide a black eye...

i second this :beer:

i'm over with the watermarks discussion, you already know my feelings about it, so anyway, i do appreciate gypsysoul's gesture, i just don't agree with her way of sharing, but i hope she continues doing so as it's valuable for the community

i don't want to see this thread boycotted by that stupid argument anyway, so let's just talk about how badass and hot Axl looks in these pics! :love: :drool:

the new axl pics kick ass

Agreed... Axl looks badass.  Too bad he just can't find himself a hot woman.   ;)

Seriously though, may I propose a compromise for future scans?  Maybe transparent watermarks?

is jarmo pissed or what.i thought it sabotage on the pic's but whatever.i got mine an that is all that counts.right -on '

I tried doing some internet translations on the text we see on some of the pics.  Didn't work very well :hihi:  The one with the helicopter said something to the affect of being brought down, but succeeding as you fall....or something like that.

I coulndn't make heads or tails out of the other one :hihi:

So any Italians ready to decipher the CD mentions that are in there?

Yes, can someone post a translation of the article please?

AylaRose

thanks for the suggestion.  i think it is a good one...if no one translates it soon we should each pick a page of text to translate.  doesn't anyone want to know what it SAYS???

Great pics, Axl looks like a rock star again, so much attitude. I dont really care about, whata ya call em, watermarks? Id rather they werent there, but who fukin cares, its not like im gona save the pics to my pc and study them for hours.

I just wana know if the article has anythin interesting to say, mabye someone can translate.

Lets drop the watermark debate eh...

These pics are just too great. :smoking: Fuckin' double 'A' man. I wonder if he'll use eyeliner in the future...

I believe this pic is taken Thu, 27 Jul 2006

 http://search.thesun.co.uk/sunsem/Search.jsp?SEARCH_TEXT=Kerry+Katona&Go=Go&sBy=score&CMP=KNC-celeb-directory&HBX_PK=Kerry+Katona

yeah but some of us would love to make a wallpaper or print them or whatever, that's what all this is about.

but yeah let's drop it

i wish i could help to translate it, i only get some things thanks to the similarity of spanish with italian, but i'm lost in most of the others

Thanks gyspy for your effort, its much appreciated, the pics are great. I wont even get into debate over nonsense, but I will say if I use anything from people on my site I definitely give credit, always preface , and most times if I can I ask the person beforehand if its ok. Thats just me. But anyway Axl looking pretty damn cool! :)

I'd like to thank Gypsy as well.  Awesome pics!   :beer:

Axl looks cool as hell....and Sasha, is that the name of the beutiful lady???  2 emoticons fit perfectly:
 :drool:  and   :love:

 

Now I understand why Jarmo censors things around here...someone does something good and a few punks feel the need to ruin the thread with pointless banter. And if you look on page 3 or something similar, there are pictures without the watermarks if they bug you so much.

But anyway, it's cool to see that Italy gives a shit about Axl, since he sings in English and all. :hihi:

if you puttit in the bottom corner, it's easy to get the photo and just crop it a little, and no-one can tell the difference.

http://www.gnr2k.com/board/index.php?topic=923.msg11015#msg11015

Yeah, It's my fav one so far : ok: It's a kick-ass picture.

is he wearing crushed velvet or am i just tired

I have the same versace ashtray  in different colour :rofl: Christos and Lara know better  :smoking:

great pictures. just received the magazine  :-*

Yes, her name is Sasha and she is Axl's girlfriend. She is Ukrainian model

Where did you order the magazine? If I would get a hold of it I would scna the pics and put them here. I have a very good scanner

thx for the translation. no image consultant ?

well... who buy this, really ?  :hihi:

(http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/997/axlso7.jpg)

I'm Italian!!I I have bought the paper today morning,but I'm at work and I can't traslate well and my english is not so good....but the Lara traslation looks good!
"Axl had finished the album before starting the US tour this year.." yes..says that in the article...
..About Sasha..the photographer called her for pose with Axl and she arrived with a raincoat, high heels shoes,collant and a bra..(I just imagine Axl face ?:P ..what a beautiful couple!) ),and says that he knows that they still go out togheter.. .

you can see the images in high resolution scan format here:

http://chinesedemocracy.com/viewtopic.php?p=526929&highlight=#526929

"It's natural,when you are at the top everyone wants to see you go down,it's a matter of individualism ( or egocentricity )..
When you are at the top they want your fall because you represent what they are not (or they can't be)..
But if you come back from the darkness represent the hope that they have to make it .."

The translation is approximately this...

cool thanks  : ok:

tanks leila ?: ok:... let me go a tad offtopic and say that this just confirms that Axl beleived that CD will be released this year by 26th December. obviously it was done during European Tour and it could be published in September, October, November... but it wasn't. Once (app. 20th of November) everyone realized that things can not be done until the end of year mag was probably in prints. just my thoughts... to all the doubters.

Thank You Blueheart for the link!! Those scans are great and now I can actually use the pic of him with the cigar as my desktop.? ?:beer:

Errrr...is it really a good idea to put personal watermarks on pictures "stolen" from a magazine?  :hihi:

I just have to give my two cents on this.

I don't agree with her copyright politics either. First, it's not her pictures. It never will be. It's the dude
who took them who owns them. By scanning them and posting them online, she's stealing them. I know
people dont give a shit about that and neither do I, but she's still stealing them. And by putting even
a watermark on them it is pushing the envelope a bit too far.

Some of you say people complain and never are happy about anything and I usually agree but not on this case. They're entitled to it this time around. Nobody asked her to post or scan pictures. She can simply stop. No questions asked, no
hard feelings. She's not getting paid to do it either. Nobodys blaming her if she stops. No one will bitch about it either.

Now this is just me..but Ive been around on the net for over 10 years and this is how I do it.

If I take pictures in concerts or pictures I know people wanna use (even without asking) I put my name with a copyright
symbol on the bottom. If they crop it then fine, it doesnt really affect me or gives me any trouble if they do. It's just pictures I took. It's not my job, no loss of income involved, and infact by spreading the picture with or without my watermark will just spread the word about this band/artist further and I see no negativity in this. Do you?

I never scan pictures from magazines usually. Ive done it a few times but Ive never put it online. I could never dream of putting any form of watermark on them. For me that is really bad behaviour and rudeness towards the photographer in question who IS actually making money from his job as a photographer! If I had this magazine I would scan them and give them out. It's not MY photos. It's the photographers and I take NO credit for the pictures. Sure, I spent some bucks and I scanned it (taking approx 5 mins of my lifetime) but my gawd people, would MY enjoyment and feelings over these pictures and text be ANY damaged if someone else shared these pictures somewhere else? No!

Jarmo mentioned bootlegs and mixing of video bootlegs or whatever. If I did record a GNR concert and people started mixing my recording togheter with others and used it I would be pleased. It means I did a good job and others will spread the word about GNR further. Again, Im not loosing money on it! If someone posted my photos and videos and wrote "recorded by John Doe" I would take insult, but hey what can you, the net is full of assholes. I cant sue him for being a lame ass. Maybe he will have a site and some dude downloads the stuff and goes "wooaaah...GNR rocks..thanks John Doe for recording". Now, is that really such a bad thing?

Oh well. Thanks for the pics!

Other things:
-When they met,D'Orazio asked him what creative things he has made in last years,and Axl answered "30-40 legal actions,lawyers and annoyances...how I could think to the songs?"

-Axl has bought a lot of suits in Europe,a complete showroom, but says that the skin things that he dressed many years ago were customized,made to order,and they were more expensive than an Armani or something like this..

He looks like he got into Scott Weiland's wardrobe!  He looks good. 

Thanks for the the scans Gypsy Soul, I know that it took alot of time! Axl looks so hot!

 :beer:

I just love little facts like that. :)
I hope we'll see a full translation some day  :)

Axl looks so hot :smoking:

wow... how charming! lolol... but, is Axl that known in Italy?

looks like after the 2002 tour axl spent a lot of time reading about people bitching about his jersey's and workout pants... because he's done a 180 style wise.

Looks cool.

is anyone working on a translation?

i know i would if i was italian, or at least spoke the language....

i have my responsability here.

 :hihi:

Wow!  :o Thanks Gypsy Soul. Axl looks amazing!

thanks for posting these pics.  they are amazing!!

Thank you! this was unexpected surprise!!!

Holly shit!

Guys, whoever has that issue of Vogue go quickly to page 187, 188 and 189 make scans and post it - there is a whole text by D'Orazio in ENGLISH! Just noticed that? : ok:

I don't have scanner at home so no way I could do that! Sorry!

I would say it's very personal text by D'Orazio, how he met Axl this spring in a studio in NYC after 13 years and he recalls all those "years of silence" for Axl and himself too...

Just a little extract before I go to sleep:

"Human nature wants you down when you're up. But funny enough they root for you when you've crashed & burned and are coming back. I got a theory about that. I think it's all egocentric. When your that high up they want you down cause you represent what they're not. And when you've fallen and are coming back up you represent the hope they have for themselves to possibly make it to the top. Everyone's a critic but few have the balls to try. Just remember that when you listen to Axl's or anyone's new stuff.
Human nature wants what's familiar and if you stay there, you're stuck. Keep yourself open and you'll be amazed. Change is good. And yes, even Axl has changed".
 
If no one posts the scans until morning, I'll try to figure something out for you guys, maybe make a jpg in the daylight ? It should work.

"Good fuckin' night!"? ;)

nite nite Tynia

Thanks for the pics, the links and the translations.  :peace:

I love the pics.  :hihi:

really cool pics, thanks gypsy! : ok:

it's great to see some high quality off stage pics!!

THanks soooooo much for the pics....holy shit, I have always found Axl attractive...always incredibly hot but now...NOW he has morphed into something even more gorgeous(if that is possible)...... :drool:

As I promissed, I took jpgs of the D'Orazio article in English

Have a good read? : ok:

Nice read! Thanks!

Thanks Tynia... amazing read!

edit: Shed a tear...

thanks for the photos of the text : ok:

merci Tynia & jarmo for the article, it was a good read.

Thanks a FUCKIN LOT Tynia, and GypsySoul!!!

Damn, that was amazing... I got fuckin emotional...

Awesome, awesome, awesome! ?I was afraid it would be all about the cloths, but it wasn't! ?This was a GREAT read. ?Thank you Tania and Jarmo for bring this to us :D ?This is an article the rest of the world should read, not just the obsessed fans on this board :hihi:

I went to Barnes & Noble last night, and went looking for this mag. ?Didn't find it :( ?Felt funny looking in the men's interest section of the mag rack too :hihi: ?Oddly enough, there was a young guy there looking in that section...looked more like a rock n roller then a vogue reader ;) ?I've wondered since then if it was someone from a GNR board. ?He kinda went away quickly :hihi:

I called some Border's bookstores in Chicago and they said that copies should be available next week!? :beer:

Great read. Thanks so much

Thanks Tynia.


Yep.
These days fashion magazines are more legit and real and less snobbish than NY times, not to mention rock magazines.

That was a beautiful article - very inspiring. Thank you.

GOD DAMN, FUCKING AWESOME STUFF!!! :o ;D :beer: 8)
axl rose on top of the world again, the epitome of coolness! :smoking:

he already has, and he's more than ready to do it again :smoking:

i'm sorry for posting three times in a row, it won't happen again, but i just have to say how much i agree with jarmo on this, i don't want to see this great thread turned into a fighting thread but attacking someone who has just posted up new, awesome pics of axl which she has paid for out of her own pocket and used her spare time to scan for us is nothing short of disrespectful.

Great read.

30-40 lawsuits. Wow.

This is definitely the reason why an Axl Rose autobiography would be the most amazing read ever.

Thanks for the scans with such a cool read!!! :beer: : ok:

That's an incredible (albeit short) look into the life of Axl Rose, the coolest rock star on the whole planet!!!!! :yes: :smoking:

awesome article, thanks for the pics, it was a great read : ok:

i like his style and that he doesn't have any help!! oh and so now we know how he met Sasha :yes:

Any body else not able to download the second picture? repost would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the scans of the English version!

That was a good read, thankyou  : ok:

no one seems to comment on the fact that this is the first photo shoot axl has done since the early 1990's. it's one hell of an indicator of what is to come. 8)

Is anybody else having the problem of the text being tiny? I can't read it! Is there any way I can access this some other place?

Thanks for putting the article up though, sounds like an awesome read!!  : ok:

It can be enlarged.  Place your cursor on the image and click.

same here, I liked how he gave us insight into all the troubles each of them had to endure for most of the 90's.  Although the bit about him having that semi-naked Axl pic hanging in his house made me chuckle  :hihi: 

edit:  thank you tynia!

can somebody rapidshare the biggest jpeg article "http://i18.tinypic.com/4gt6pae.jpg" ... i always got stalled half way and its already 3 days ... :glee: dial up sucks !  :'(

who is the guy who wrote that? why's he friends with Axl? is he famous?

Sante D'Orazio is a well known fashion/celebrity photographer.  He's shot lots of celebrities and supermodels, including Stephanie Seymour's last playboy shoot.  I've never heard the story of how he and Axl met but several photos of Axl were included in Sante's book A Private View.

I'm glad I could helped with posting the article. You're all welcome? :)

Merry Christmas to everyone!

http://rapidshare.com/files/9096053/Axl_Dec_2006_L_UOMO_VOGUE_2.jpg.html

my favorite pic is definatly the one with the cugar and smoke its so kickass

Sante D?Orazio directed the "Since I don?t have you" video...I think...

that is correct : ok:

It turns out that Border's does not stock the magazine, but I did just score a copy on EBAY!!!!!!

there is a mention and pics on www of Croatian Daily Newspaper... nothing new, just to let you know

(http://www.jutarnji.hr/EPHResources/Images/2006/12/27/axl.jpg) (http://www.jutarnji.hr/EPHResources/PhotoGalleries/axlrose/galerija.htm)

thanks. I dont read jutarnji :)
but it's cool, and they didnt print a single lie this time:)

Is this a magazine which is easily found in a Chapters, or Indigo bookstore, or is it something that generally needs to be special ordered?

Thank you GypsySoul for taking the time to scan/post the photos and to Tynia for taking the time to scan/post the article as well.

I was pleasantly surprised by the article... a very interesting read.? :yes:

Cheers,
W.R.

I just walked in the W.H. Smith near the place where I work in Paris and they had like a dozen copies lol. It was 6.50 euros...I saw people selling it for like 25-30 bucks on eBay. Motherfuckers.

I'm scanning it as I speak. You will have high resolution scans shortly.

I don't know if people still care about this lol. Anyway. Here's a preview:

(http://gnrfrance.free.fr/img/vogue07pt.jpg)

Pics will be about 3 times that size (in pixels). I just put a small mention in the corners: "Scanned by Will for www.GNRFrance.net". I hope you won't be offended by that, lol. ;D
Scans will be here real soon.
