he had a ruff up-bringing from being abandoned at 2yrs by his (reportedly) sexually abusive biological father and a religiously fanatic step father. “This lawsuit is about protecting Guns N’ Roses and ‘Welcome to the Jungle,’ and is about holding Activision accountable for its misuse of these incredibly valuable assets,” said Rose’s lawyer, Skip Miller, at the time, though Rose’s intentions and conduct in the matter have since come under scrutiny. Rose made headlines last year when he sued Guitar Hero creator Activision for $20 million, claiming its use of the Guns ‘n Roses hit “Welcome to the Jungle” violated a an agreement to include any imagery of ex-guitarist Slash within the game Guitar Hero III. The star had previously been called a ‘fat Botox-faced wig wearer’ by former Stone Temple Pilot and Velvet Revolver front-man Scott Weiland, who played alongside former Guns ‘n Roses guitarist, Slash, in the latter of the two bands. Photos of the performance showed the star in a yellow zoot suit, a studded black hat and dark glasses, looking vastly different from photos as recent as summer 2010. E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderatorįormer Guns ‘n Roses front man Axl Rose was unrecognizable on Monday night when he appeared in Brazil to play a show with his old band. Would've respected Axel more if he just started another band, then try to maintain the GNR ghost through this bastardized shell of a band. John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant knew they weren't gonna be the same Band without Bonham. G&R is the pitch perfect example, of how an entity of a band, is not the same once you lose key members.Īxel thought HE was GNR because he wrote the songs. There was a time when he was wanting to make symphonies and shit I still do!, but it is starting to age & i can tell he just cares about himself and well money probably. And even those live performances where he sounds rough, i like that roughness to his voice. but people forget Axl actually has an interesting voice. Oh no don't say that, that will be the end of Axl! The rock press will have a fucking field day! Heaven forbid the guys get into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Axl tries to perform and forgets the words to "Welcome to the Jungle". But he is slowly loosing his grip, he knows people want Slash, Duff & Matt back Axl has been in a downfall for years, he was once ahead of one of the coolest, most talented bands you can think of. We had a thread and judged each song, November Rain was eeek! he forgot the lyrics, played the wrong chords and yeah it was a messīut some of the set was great, others it was not. While he did look like an angry big bird meets james hetfield, some of the performances where good. The tour will start in Orlando on October 28th and finishes on December 1st in Auburn Hills. The band's performance was their first since last December, and came ahead of the Guns N' Roses US tour which begins later this month. The group then delighted fans with tracks including Sweet Child of Mine, Live and Let Die and Welcome to the Jungle. I'm going to try to focus on singing rather than running around like an idiot. He said: Good evening, good morning! Please bear with us and give us a little second here to figure out what to do about not falling on our asses. Gearing up for the performance, Rose told eager fans he was concerned that the pouring rain would make the stage treacherous for the concert. His size also led to him being labeled a 'fat Botox-faced wig wearer' by his rival rocker Scott Weiland.īut his weight gain appears to have continued over the past year and a half, with Rose looking entirely different as he performed in Brazil. It's not the first time Rose's weight has sparked concern, as he previously shocked fans with his overweight look in January 2010. The rocker teamed his yellow coat with a black hat and sunglasses, with the whole ensemble contributing to his bizarre appearance. Rose appeared to have gained a significant amount of weight in recent months, with his slimline frame at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards a distant memory. What happened? A significantly larger Axl Rose was unrecongisable as he performed with Guns N' Roses in Rio, Brazil, last night
