Has anyone ever gotten Axl autograph?

[violet_star]

Hi everybody.I am new in the Internet world and new to this great message board.
I'd like to know if some of you has ever gotten a signed picture of Axl,if so where should I write to ask for one?
I 'd like to make a special present for a close friend of mine who's been a hard die Axl fan for more than 15 years now. Thanks.

If you want a fake one, that is.

not true.... if you know what your looking for you can get a real one... there are more real ones than fake ones that show up on ebay.....

[violet_star]

I was thinking about writing to his label or something like that..I know most times they send you a preprinted photo,but it would be better than nothing.

Did any of you guys ever write to Axl himself? In case you did,did you get a reply?

and how would u verify a real sig?

Its fairly easy to forge Axl's signiture - i've been doing it on cheques for years....

[Carlos_f_Rose]

Well guys unless you see axl rose himself writing the autograph, dont believe its not a fake one...

    I'd be curious to know how you would see the difference. Like Izzy said, Axl's signature is really easy to forge. No offense, but you're pretty damn naive if you think most autographed items sold on ebay are real. And that's coming from someone who's been browsing it every day for the past 7 years.

what were trying to say is.. make your OWN fake! and hook your friend up! she'll feel real special.. unless she finds out its fake somehow.

Thats some good heretodaygonetohell.com advice

Personally no, but I know someone who did.  He collects autographs and sent Axl something to sign.  It was never sent back.  Its difficult to find an address to send stuff to, and if you do, there's no guarantee it is accurate.  If you really want the autograph, your best bet is ebay, but you will never be 100% sure its authentic.

Speaking of ebay, did anybody see that greatest hits cd that was supposedly signed by axl, slash, duff, and steven? I think it ended near $80.

[AxlisOld]

Yea I emailed the guy and asked why he thinks we should believe that Axl signed a cd that he didn't want to come out, with his former friends, with no proof. I didn't get a reply.

Well,singers/entertainers are very busy people so I do not think they ever spend time answering fanmail,but it'd be cool and nice of them if they could pay little attention to what their fans tell 'em..........

My view on this is:

If they don't, then who the fuck do they think they are? Do they think they are private citizens? (regardless of what the mods think here in thier own imaginary worlds).. WE made them what they are with cash and adoration, WE deserve a bit back.

To think they deserve total privacy, well you must be living in the mods (and the owner of this sites) dream world.

[CAFC Nick]

Well mate, if you go hundreds of letters a day. Would to reply to them all?

Even if you did for a while, wouldnt it get SLIGHTLY annoying?

[Mal Brossard]

No offense, but you're pretty damn naive if you think most autographed items sold on ebay are real.

As a former sports autograph dealer on eBay, I greatly take offense to this statement.  Most of what I've seen on eBay is real.  Once in a while, there are fakes, but if you know EXACTLY what to look for (the problem is most don't know what to look for), you're all set.

P.S.-- Photos of someone signing and certificates of authenticity mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

My friend who gets autographs has gotten most of what he's ever asked for.  He's not trying to get anyone to write him letters though.  He just sends something he'd like signed, along with a note saying he's a fan and asking nicely to please sign and return the enclosed item.  He sends it with a SASE to make it simple, and he usually gets stuff back.  But like I said, Axl is one of the few who didn't return what he sent.  But there's no way of know if it was actually a valid address.

I think some celebrities are getting more careful about signing stuff though, because they want to do it for their fans and instead end up doing it for someone who's just getting it to sell.

I don't know about sports, I only look for GN'R related items. And most of what I see is absolutely laughable. Once again, I would like you to answer my question : how would you see the difference between a real signature and a well-forged one? Please enlighten us.

My friend who gets autographs has gotten most of what he's ever asked for.? He's not trying to get anyone to write him letters though.? He just sends something he'd like signed, along with a note saying he's a fan and asking nicely to please sign and return the enclosed item.? He sends it with a SASE to make it simple, and he usually gets stuff back.? But like I said, Axl is one of the few who didn't return what he sent.?

Hi Sterling,could please tell me which address your friend sent his letter?
You can send me a private message  if you like.
I really would like to do this for my friend,as he' s such a devoted fan and he's not really good these days,unfortunately.

The problem is, even if you can tell one fake autograph - then the person making them knows what to do better next time. Plus, what good is some ink on a picture if you buy it off ebay? I'd like one for myself :-)
