Matt's story about Axl wearing bandannas.

[ClintroN]

i saw Ian at the Door of the 21st Century show and he was a fuckin' rock god man, but before the show, outside they played some Cult film clips and Ians hair is just as huge as any 80's goer

I've been a Cult fan since 1984 and have never ever seen Ian's "hair is just as huge as any 80's goer".  Bandana's, ponytails, straight, spiked, shaved but never "huge"..

Anyway, I digress. ..

Maybe Ian suggested the change for Axl, who knows.  It makes for a good story though..

ah c'mon man maybe it was a little fare, but his hair was pretty big

[Queen of Everything]

Yes, Axl was very influenced by other peoples style at the time, like anyone.  I suppose he liked different pieces of peoples clothing styles and took them and re-invented them to make them his own!!

Nope, never seen it "big". 

I've seen that crazy fucker in many a different look over the years (not all good either) but never any kind of teased out big hair mode ala Axl in the early days...

Im listening to last saturdays Camp Freddy radio with Matt Sorum and Billy Morrison.
and Matt is telling this story about GN'R opening for The Cult in 86 or 87 (he's not sure).
and at this time, Axl was wearing his hair really big.
and he says, supposedly Ian Astbury went into the dressing room and talks to Axl and says something like "you're a really great frontman, but the hair is just all wrong." then he gave Axl a bandanna and told him to put the hair down straight and wrap it around his head.

Matt doesn't know if it's a true story or not, but he says Ian still tells it to this day.
Billy then asks Matt if Axl would remember that, and Matt says "probably not, not back then", whatever that means

HA, I made a comment about this a while ago when someone said Scott was copying Axl.

No, I own the Pure Cult DVD and have all of the videos they released. Ian had straight, Jet black hair down to the small of his back. Maybe the "Love Removal Machine" video where its styled different. But no "Big 80's Hair"

[sweechile]

I think Axl's hair in 'Jungle' video is his greatest look ever!    he looks so badass and a mean mofuker
 the cult have always just been posers who looked pretty faggy,  maybe thats why they got Matt

[Mattgnr]

non of us dickheads are gonna figure out who made the bandana, its been around for fuckin' years man ,

Ian may have gave Axl the bandana but it's been around for years!!

How the fuck would Matt know what the hell Axl remembers anyway, Axl doesnt need to talk about your fat arse so shut the fuck up Matt!! ? ? even though it wasnt a bad thing you said, but i garentee whatever you say before and after is gonna be a stab at Axl.

your spelling is awful and would you please try to make sense when you post

thanks

I understand clintons posts, well at least better than mine. And hey, Mattgnr. you too, don't ya?

the older kids used to tell me Ian was a wanker and I never get it.
Lookin faggy or not, The cult made some great songs. And GN'R got Matt too. What's your point, Miss?

The point being sweetchile is just trying to stir shit up, nothing intellegent by any means..

Ian's always been a bit crazy, he'll be the first to tell you that.? Bandana's nonwithstanding he's also credited with providing the blueprint for Lollapalooza with his Gathering Of The Tribes Festival and coining the term "goth" in relation to the music scene in London..

He was a huge GNR supporter early on as well, insisting the come on tour with The Cult after seeing GNR at the Marquee Club in London in 87'.? He actally mentioned that show last year in an intefview, saying it was one of his favorite concert memories.? I'll see if I can dig up the article.

Cool story.. I always saw hanoi rock's videos and saw a definite clothing influence for gnr..

Falcon I never knew that.  I thought he might have been pissed at Axl because of Matt.

What?

I told ya! Mattgnr. 
No it shouldn't be funny....I should be ashamed of myself.

Matt had yet to join The Cult when Ian and Billy hooked up with GNR.? He became a touring member in 89' in support of Sonic Temple and later was the catalyst for The Cult reforming in early 99'.? When Matt was offered the job with GNR he had full blessings of Ian and Billy, they had no plans of using him in the studio at that time.
