Axl wasnt fat fat in 2001/2002 but he was definately bulkier than we have ever seen him. Which isnt that big a deal because he was skinny as back in the day and hes trim now.
But he looked about 100x fatter because of what he wore. Now it looks like he is taking his fashion advice from someone other than Chris Pittman and we are the better for it.
That's funny stuff. When I saw them at the Hammerstein, I loved the fact that they "looked" the part of a bad-ass rock band once again (*so* glad Robin dropped the Goth / shaved head /etc. look), but Pitman looked a bit...dated and silly.
A question for those who saw the '02 tour...how do they compare to now in terms of performance, stamina, chemistry, etc.? I loved what I saw in NYC, but have no real point of reference, as the last GnR show I saw prior to that was in '92...
