why dont the paparrazzi hound and follow axl around?

[D]

he's the most mysterious rock star ever, long awaited album, rare appearances, i just wonder why the stalkerazzi dont hide out and try to snap pictures of him and follow him around etc

i think its interesting that they dont

[jarmo]

I'm glad they don't. Nobody deserves to be followed around by photographers.

Reasons:
He's not on MTV.
He doesn't have his own reality show on tv.
He didn't marry anybody famous.

I think its because you have to actually do something within the last decade for people to be interested in you. Axl Rose s awesome but, in reality, at this moment, is he revelant to the general public?

[D]

no but he is mysterious and i just figured a paparazzi person would see big dollar signs in sheddin some light to rocks most reclusive frontman

no vacation photos, no photos hangin out

has axl been able to blend back in with society? and if so how was that possible?

[WanaBGunner]

I guess this tells us something, no one gives a shit about Axl anymore. It cost alot of money to follow people around and take pics of em, more than you think it does. And paparrazzis arnt going to waste time on that guy if they cant make money off his pictures. You people should just face it, Axl hasnt done shit in 10+ years. And no one gives a shit about some burnt out rockstar who's album is delayed this long.

[SOH]

What about the mobile horse? I doubt somebody just "stumbled" upon that development.

[journey]

Good question, hoser! ?


I guess he just doesn't do anything to draw attention to himself. ?The paparrazzi are all about what's hot at the present moment. Even when Axl was popular, he wasn't a media darling. It's obvious that he prefers to keep his life private.

[erose]

we do get new pics every now and then, pics when he's in chile, pics with his new car or whatever, pics when fans meet him at a restaurant, we also hear about crazy horse, that pegasus sign, and some waither in argentina had him in his restaurant i believe(might be fraud)... what i'm saying tho is that it's not much that guy can do without it going through htgth... what's interesting or mysterious about going outside to get the mail anyway???

my view is that the guy got what he wanted, he hid as long as it took for all the ignorant moneymaking rip offs to get bored and thats the coolest thing about axl, no one controlls him. sure there will be thousands of more pics and shit when he's out touring, but until then... huh well...

[Butch Français]

one: he hasn't done anything significant in the past 10 years, paparazzis figure nobody cares to see what he's up to.
two: maybe they remember his temper from back in the old days and are afraid of him. I would never have dared to take pics of Axl if I was a paparazzi!

yes right now Axl Rose is indeed a "burnt out Rockstar" for the general public, but it could quickly change if the album is released.

[Luigi]

First, you forget Axl's a perfectionist, what he has done is artistically conductided something special.
That's not owed to you. Washed up you say, hardly. Oh" Paparrazzi don't like cameras up there ass.
 

[Johnnyblood]

Those guys follow the money, period. If they aren't taking pictures of a person it means there's not a market. That translates into not much interest in Axl. Not that there couldn't be in the future. But as of now, most people have forgotten and/or don't care.

[Irish rose]

they dont get pics because he doesnt leave the house!! It must be boring for the paperazzi waiting outside of his house for days on end!

seriously though, hes not doing anything interesting as far as the general public goes.

[Pviljoen]

Just watch VH1, MTV, Much Music, or any celebrity type watching show. IF Axl is even mentioned, it's usually making fun of him, alluding to him being washed up 80s hair rocker (I hate it when they call GNR hair rock). And those mentions are very few and far between. There is no cachet in "rock's most reclusive frontman". No one but us cares.

[Dust N Rose]

Indeed
Back in the 90s almost everybody knew him, only hardcore fans remember him now and even less people from the new generation ever heard him.

[norway]

beein a huge part of a band that recently sold a amount of gh does not qualify 4 being unimportant imo

they and himself says he does not do a lot of outdoors stuff so a paparazzi would be pretty bored

[Izzy]

Maybe he's dead or never leaves his house?

[norway]

Maybe he's dead

how would we know?   
but hey, there was intrest enough at 02 that axl complained about it n radio

[jabba2]

 Paparazzi dont think Axl's famous anymore. Hes just another 80's frontman from a band that doesnt exist outside of a few tours. He was a huge star, But many big stars have come and gone in America since then, and the paparazzi dont follow them all around forever either.

I am surprised noone has tried to interview him when he is seen in public. Maybe Axl declines.

[ill`usion]

my guess is that they got bored...i mean nothing happened is quite a long time, so...it is better for axl, no? and i'm pretty sure if the media were all stocking him, he'd try and hide as well as he could or just give'em a plain "fuck off"... besides, nothing "official" has been said or done in some time, the media are just hunting for whatever's "hot" (and usually full of shit)...

hehe, this all sounds like somehting big is being prepaired...all this mistery...as long as Axl gets to work and focus on his music, it's for the best. What, you want to read 'bout him in the scandal mags???
