The REAL story on Axl's hair

[Mattman]

When asked about Axl's appearance at recent concerts, most Gunners tend to say that he still looks remarkably fit.  However, there is one question that few can know the real answer to: Axl's hair.  Many have said that Axl is actually going bald, that his current hair is mostly extensions.  I don't know if that's more than just a rumour, although I know that most 40-year-old men don't have braids.  So I was hoping that maybe we could compile enough evidence in this thread to discover once and for all the true nature of Axl's hair.

So far, all I've got is this quote from the Metal Sludge Hair Chart:

AXL ROSE / GUNS 'N' ROSES = H. T.
Rumor has it he's thinning fast.  

(H. = Means they wear a Head Band or Hat and are trying to hide it.  
T. =  Hair Transplants.  )

well he had nice thick hair at rio and vegas

his hair was much thicker at rio however he was wearing a different hair style, it seemed to be more layered and parted in the middle instead of parted on the side

honestly i see nothing wrong with a hair transplant, shit if i start goin bald one day im gonna get one, fuck being bald, its still his hair so i dont think it really matters

This Thread= GAY THREAD
Gay=gay
Thread = thread

who the fuck cares about axls hair. who the fuck cares what metal sludge has to say. WHta is so hard to understand that some of it is his hair and some of it is extensions.

Oh for cryin' out loud.....

Axl is not going bald.

Don't know how to put it any simpler than that.

(Jee, Mattman, you usually contribute good posts.)

I can settle this its very easy even though I hardly see how axl hair has any relevance what so ever. Just look at the ritz videos when he isnt wearing a bandana and when he pulls his hair all the way back, his hairline has not moves an inch since then. The braids pull his hair back as far as it will go and reveal all of his hairline, thats it.

If Axl is going bald.. I doubt he'd put his hair in braids.. people say it diverts attention away from the fact he is going bald.. NO WAY.. with braids the dude has no fringe so if there IS a receeding hair line we'd soon see.. people just arent used to seeing Axl with his hair pulled back and being able to see his full forehead.. simple!

 :confused:I personally dont like the braids ,but ill get used to it......Ive got the rio vid and he hasent got braids...and hes not going bald at all...his hair is fine..
As long as his voice is good...great actually which it is, thats all that matters to me..

Hey we all have the freedom of choice in this life- well in theory lol  

It's his choice what style of hair he wants, what he wears, what he does.  Just like we all  have that freedom. Having recently watched early Roxy shows you can see he has always had thin hair.

Kirk hammet was going bald but uses Rogain (as said by himself in Q) Baldness is a common thing and if people find ways of dealing with it whats the problem?  If it helps their confidence then who's business is it but their own?  We have a very nosey society.

Oh, whatta stupid thread. Have mercy!!!!!!!!
Besides, I believe that you're not able to make braids at any age. You always need some fake hair to add to it and you should have known by now.

[mikegiuliana]

not about the thread but just  a hair question... if you get your hair braided like axl you would have to have extra long hair being when you twist it it gets shorter and his braides were very long.. Does anyone think he had extensions to his natural hair... Now before anyone goes nuts I said extensions not a hair transplant,plugs or a weave..

[lynn1961]

I think he had extensions or a weave.  But, none of us really know whether he is truly going bald or not, since no one ever sees him or knows him.   But, you know what, if I were a famous rock musicion, and I WERE going bald, I'd run to my nearest hair salon and get help!  or wear some very cool hats!

This post is really a waste of time, but I'm going to say this anyway...

Axl's hair has nothing to do with ANYTHING we should be worrying about.  Its his HAIR for crying out loud!  Does it effect his singing?  No.  Chinese Democracy?  No.  So don't worry about it.  We could be spending time posting much more interesting things.

Please. Stop. It. With. The. Hair.


Love you all      

[lynn1961]

you're right!  Axl's hair has nothing to do with anything.

[Queen of Everything]

Axl's hair has nothing to do with ANYTHING we should be worrying about.? Its his HAIR for crying out loud!? Does it effect his singing?? No.? Chinese Democracy?? No.? So don't worry about it.? We could be spending time posting much more interesting things.

Please. Stop. It. With. The. Hair.


Love you all ? ? ?

why does asking if he had extensions added to his already natural hair need to be a problem... if you are a big axl gnr fan then a look is just as big of a conversation piece as a tour or song... I asked because his braides were very long whcih would mean his hair would have had to be even longer to have that length braides.. All I wanted to know if he might have added to his hair like many famous people do these days
if there was some music I would speak of it, but it's been so many years..

What's with this? Is he Sanson or something? If goes bald he will lose his power? I don't think so, leave the man alone.

No, but he used to be when he had his own hair.

No harm done here, people are just curious.? Granted it's not the most important issue in the world, and it was already established that Axl's hair has nothing to do with anything.? Just, inquiring minds want to know.? Doesn't affect anything.

BTW, I'm convinced Slash has weaves, as well.? He has all his own thick hair, but weaves to make it a little longer.? I could be wrong, but it looks like it.? ?

And if this topic drives anyone crazy, then resist the urge to look here.?

most  of the people that uses braids like axl's uses extentions.. you need to have a really big amount of hair... to wear those braids...
is nothin bad...
