The point of this is to find out what people outside of GNR fans are saying about Axl's appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards. I personally find some of their observations quite amusing.
Use the above links to search through blogs and post what you find interesting (negative and positive).
Here's some I've found so far:
Axl Rose took the stage at one point and resembled that forty-six year old creepy guy from your neighborhood who lives with his mom and drives a Trans Am with only one t-top because one got stolen. The guy you can always tell is about to arrive in your neighborhood because he is blasting Skid Row from his tape deck. The guy who has a tattoo that says something like ?Class of ?73 Forever? over a fire breathing dragon that is smoking pot with a naked lady on it?s back while flying over a rainbow. The type of guy who mows his lawn wearing nothing but cut off jean shorts while holding a can of beer and smoking a Marlboro. The kind of weirdo that hangs out in front of his garage with a battered foam ice chest full of Natural Lite beer. The type of dude that will tell you all about Vietnam, even though he was only there for a week before getting shot in the arm and ?Taking one for Uncle Sam.? The guy who goes out of his way to give intimate details about the women he?s slept with in his life. The guy who feels that life has done him wrong and how it?s not his fault all women hate him. ?It?s just the way I choose to live my life man. Women can?t deal with it.? Guys with names like Kenny or Axl.
-Axl Rose plus Botox minus chest hair = Go back to the 80s where you came from.? Nuff said.
AXL FREAKIN' ROSE! Wow, he's slimmed down.
--Axl Rose?? That bastard shouldn't even be near MTV.? TWO appearances at the VMAs and not ONE new album?? No one cares anymore.? Why the heck is he "presenting" The Killers anyway?? I'd say Avenged Sevenfold would be more appropriate as they're the closest thing to G n' R I've heard lately (except for Velvet Revolver).? But then again the last band I thought would take Guns' mantle, Buckcherry, faded into oblivion.?
Axl Rose introduced the Killers. Axl has had some SERIOUS plastic surgery. I STILL think he now looks like Donnie Wahlberg.
~? Axl Rose looks very, very strange.
Man, fuck you, Axl. You with your little blazer and your little cornrows. You didn't burn out and you didn't fade away. You just ended up becoming a tool. I may forgive you for the Chinese Democracy debacle, but you effectively ruined Axl Rose for me and I'll never forgive you for that.
And here's Axl Rose! I feel like weeping. He just screeched the opening line to Welcome to the Jungle and it was horrendous and off-key and scary and where have you gone, man who sang It's So Easy with such ferocity?
oh gross... axl rose.... old.. plastic surgery'd to shit... shirt open (just puked a lil in my mouth)... nasty nappy red straw looking jamaica braids (prolly a weave)... YUCK.
...Axl Rose is an old man and needs to stop trying to come back, though my mother would disagree
the performances...since when does THE KILLERS deserve to have the CLOSING spot, let alone be announced by THE fucking AXL ROSE!
....axl rose is NOT COOL MTV!
Axl Rose? Well he is looking much better than when he performed a few years ago. Yet he still has dreads.
Jack Black introduces Axl Rose -- who looks like a strange hybrid of Danny Bonaduce and....no. He just looks like Danny Bonduce.
Why does AXL rose exist with that hair?
Axl Rose - GTFO! Would you just dissappear!?
Axl Rose...still with dreadlocks...still thinking he's the shit...still a little pathetic.
