Some of those guys have had one look their whole career, how is that stylish?

I don't know that Axl was/is stylish.  He had a lot of memorial outfits (white shorts) and some that got worn so much you just got tired of seeing him in them (burn the red flannel shirt).  I wouldn't say kilt and boots was styling but it fucking rocked!  I'd put him in the rocked those outfits category.

How 80's Axl is less stylish than Zakk Wylde is beyond me.
He's more stylish these days for fuck sakes.

[strictlyaxlsgrrl1976]

Yup, or at least making a conscious effort of being more stylish.

Axl should be WAY higher on that list, some of those people on that list are just rediculous. How can the person listed as No.4 be considered stylish, that alone makes me give this list no credibility at all.

Axl Rose's Greatest Contributions To Rock Fashion

One of the most successful rock acts ever, GN'R could get into the Hall on its musical merits alone, but the contributions of the GN'R's style icon frontman makes the band a near lock. And by style icon, we mean, who else could pull off an American flag jacket, spandex, tattoos, jewelry and high tops and not look totally ridiculous? Yes, Axl was more than just a bandana and a massively talented band. Click on for more of W. Axl Rose's gnarliest looks.



Who says you can't accessorize with Jim Beam?

Kurt don't deserve to be anywhere on that list, and at number 4 is a joke. How come those guys always manage to get high places on certain lists when it's obvious they don't belong there?. People like Axl Rose, Steven Tyler, Mick Jagger, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Toshi (X Japan), Jimi Hendrix, John 5... Should all be very high on that list. Even people like Johnny Rotten, Bon Jovi and of course Sebastian Bach should all be higher than Kurt. Wearing scruffy clothes, and not caring does not emote to being stylish sorry.

Yeah - Kurt Cobain stylish ...    Totally not gettin' that one.

I love GNR and his music, but Axl has had some absolutely horrendous fashion choices over the decades. He looked his best during the Appetite days with the biker style. That's about it... (OK, the red coat was kinda cool).

Yeah - Kurt Cobain stylish ...    Totally not gettin' that one.

I don't remember No. 4 ever wearing those outfits.  Anyway Axl should be a lot higher on that list.
