Then and Now Pics of Axl (thread title edited)

 Why do people always say crap about his eyebrows?? He is a redhead! They are red get over it. He use to dye them darker. Now he doesn't. If anything you should give him credit for looking more like himself!!!!!!

Well said willow!

Whether Axl has or hasn't had surgery is his business! Axl obviously has changed, but everyone changes as they get older, it doesn't mean that he has had surgery! As it has been pointed out, he is not 25 anymore, he is in his forties so obviously he is going to look alot older. I'm pretty sure that Axl is happy with himself, and that is all that matters. In another few years he will probably change even more, are there still going to be rumours going around saying he's had surgery "again"?! Like I said, it is his business what he has done, and I don't know whether he has or has not had surgery, and I don't really care. I like Guns N' Roses for the music they make, not because they are pretty boys. If I wanted pretty boys I'd go and listen to some pop music like Busted.

Oh God! I really hope Axl dont Read this Crap! U can start by discuss ur own looks before u make a speach of other once!  Behave people!

I have any of you looked at the pics of Axl at the 2001 Rock In Rio.  Looks almost exactly the same only a little heavier (no prob with that).

Then look at the 2002 VMA, he looks way weird.  Axl shouldn't have done what ever he did to himself.  And what is with the f'in dread locks or corn rows.  I mean Axl, you are a rock star not a wankster

[Eva GnRAxlRosette]

He looks exactly the same in the middle pics

Eva, as usual I am sticking by you.
I will be so glad when the cd comes out and these people will have something better to talk about then, whether axl has or has not had any work done. The guy is 10-15 years older then the pics you people are always talking about. I don't know about you guys but I don't look the same as I did 5 years ago. Give the guy a brake. Frankly I don't care what he looks like that much. As long as he is happy and feels good about himself go for it.
All you guys should care about is what the music sounds like.

Looking good to me AXL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you completely.  I also wonder if people take into account that he has spent those 10-15 years in the California sun and the L.A. smog, not to mention years of heavy smoking.  That kind of living is rough on your skin. 

[N.I.B]

sure hes aged but he looks no different

[D]

basically the only reason he looks different is his eyebrows and his hair being pulled back instead of hangin down his forehead.

very nice pics!

If Chinese Democracy is a success, he is going to look amazing.....
if its a complete flop he is going to look like a fucking idiot!

- he's in his 40's, he's not 26.....
- he dresses modern not 1987......
- he's still Axl and he's still alive unlike a lot of other rock and roll stars that slipped into obsecurity and fell off the wagon, lets just give the man credit for not losing his will to live and still have a burning desire to create a comeback......

No offense sterlingdog...but from everything I have read, Axl probably doesn't see much of that sun while he's producing music at night.  I would assume that makes for sleepy-time when the sun's out.  Just a thought.

Thanks for the support, but he has never been much for the sun nor a heavy smoker. I heard Slash say way back. It takes Axl 3 days to finnish one pack. Thanks for the support.

No offense, but don't believe everything you read.  I've read that too, and I never assumed it was true.  If you believe everything you read, you have to believe he had massive plastic surgery.  After all, the Star Magazine said so. 

As far as whether or not he is/was a heavy smoker, I guess that's a matter of perspective.  I have heard him described as a chain smoker.  But honestly, who cares?  My point was only that smoking ages your skin prematurely.

It looks like his face has filled out a bit. He's not as thin as he used to be so his face has filled out a bit. That is the only difference I see that his face is fatter.

just made that one a couple of weeks ago..

[Eva GnRAxlRosette]

just wanted to say it makes sense for someone of Axl's complexion to protect themselves from the sun as they get sunburned easier than most
i've noticed he tends to wear hats and sunglasses while out in the sun
like in the rio and argentina pics

Weird how he looks almost asian in these two.

Apart from that, he doesn't look any different..And, he doesn't look much older.

What i do see as different is us though. 10/15 years ago, looks counted only as to who was cool and who wasn't, clotheswise.
Nowadays, in this era of cosmetics, we ( including myself) are obsessed with physicality, beauty and change.

Fans weren't like this before. What a shame. I do see we put a lot of pressure onto stars, and it's not fair, they already have enough as it is.

We're victims of modernity. Acting like assholes. Let's give the guy a break.
