New Axl pics

[Katrin]

Great pics! Axl's lookin great!   

[anythinggoes]

That's Axl. That's fucking Axl.

I haven't seen a picture of Axl looking this much like Axl in over a decade.

sans the hair...it's 1992.

Very true.

Just out of interest who are the other two dudes in this pic with Axl and Tommy?

The blond one is fucking huge, I guess he must work out with mikegiuliana!!

Mike

Tommy Looks Hilarious!!!!

yeah, this is a cool picture!!

I know its stupid but at first glance i thought the Guy in the Blue Shirt was Tim Robbins but Shawshank era and the other guy i thought was a rough looking Simon Cowell but i see the error of my ways

Haha, yeah probably just sounding Axl out about his guest spot on the GNR-themed week of X Factor.     Actually, at first glance I thought it was the Hoff.  Really must get these contacts checked! 

[T_Roxie]

He's got a giant watch again!

[misterID]

Tommy looks like a guy who bummed a cigarette off me at a bar once

Axl would look at least ten years younger without the braids, though. That shit has got to give him headaches. I can't imagine what it was like for him in 02 before he cut them.

Tommy hilarious in a picture? That's something new...

Yeah the more Axl tours the better he looks. Reminds me of something Dave Grohl said about the Foo song "Skin and Bones" which describes your physical condition after living on the road for so long and not living an extremely healthy lifestyle.  He also sounds better the more he tours.  I think a big reason for his '02 voice sounding so clean and un-Axl was that he quit smoking   I've seen him smoking cigars and he talked about smoking weed in a hip-hop studio on the Eddie Trunk interview.  Whatever he's doing its working.  If this is Axl's big push may it never end.  An endless tour briefly interrupted with intermittent album releases will do nicely.

Axl's voice changed because he had been out of the game for years, and his voice had weakened. Furthermore, due to the fact that he DID smoke and drink so much when he was younger, coupled with the fact that he was now older, his voice had been affected and when he tried to pull off the rasp it probably didn't sound right. So he thought he could start singing like Freddie Mercury I guess, because he found it easier and more natural/comfortable. I think he had voice training before he reappeared in '06 and Baz said he hooked him up with a vocal coach.

[misterID]

The drinking has helped with the rasp as well.

I don't really think he looks all that different except for the shorter hair, but you have to remember the new clothes and hair (no more baggie jersey's, big braids) has to a lot to do with making him look better also.

I love this picture!!!!

Axl not living a healthy lifestyle on the road?  He has a lot of money, I'm sure he could afford to live an extremely healthy lifestyle.  He has a private jet and limos.  I think hes just more conscious of the way he looks once he starts each leg of the tour which is why he always looks better into it.   He takes care of himself more cuz he knows he's performing.

[SumbodyElse]

No - you know it's more than just life style. It's not even so much his physical appearance - it's the look in his eyes. Things are happening. He's gotta be feeling pretty good about that and it shows!

[jimb0]

Well, I wasn't talking about his eyes, but nice to see he's feeling good too.

This thread takes the new record for a quoted picture!
