Laugh At Others' Misfortunes

LET’S MAKE FUN OF AXL ROSE SOME MORE

 Friday, January 15th, 2010 at 3:42pm by

Y’know, considering how many of you bitch about me writing about Guns N’ Roses too much, I sure do get a lot of GN’R-related e-mails.

Case in point: Axl Rose and company kicked off their Canadian tour earlier this week, and my inbox is suddenly flooded with messages that all say something to the effect of “OMG AXL IS SO FAT NOW LULZ!!!” And while I don’t know if “fat” is the word I’d use for how Axl’s looking this tour, I do know that I would never use the word “good,” either. Check out this photo from Rolling Drone:

Who does he look like these days? That’s right, you guessed it. He looks like -

WizardLionClose

Meanwhile, I just have to wonder out loud: is this fucking real?

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

  • FlyingDadBomb

    I was gonna go with Toby Keith, but that’s a good comparison too.

  • Cobra Clutch Master

    He looks like a ginger Willie Alder.

  • Chuckles

    I was hoping for the classic Norm McDonald lin : “You Guessed It: Frank Stallone”

      exactly.

    Put em Up, Put em Up……

  • Facebook User

    that mustache kinda makes him look like James Hetfield circa 1994. only more bloated.

    I’m just glad to see he got rid of those awful dreadlocks. and now he’s just using a bandana to cover up his baldness/wig wearing ways.

    • Sengaiah

      they where cornrows… hair braided down the scalp.
      Dreadlocks are combed down hair like Mark Hunter from Chimaira had

  • Kuranes

    I guess that means Axl also looks like Justice-era James Hetfield.

    • Facebook User

      no. you’re right. definitely more like 1989 hetfield . my apologies.

  • lkgf09

    he sorta looks like james hetfield

  • Michelle

    What’s with all the braclets? Is he hiding cutting scars? Someone should tell him to cut down the road not across the street. That ‘stache is not working for him at all. Are those… are those Mom Jeans? I’m just glad he has a shirt on.

    • Beereded

      Either that or track marks. If you notice, he’s also wearing long sleeves. Now, if you’ve ever heard/read Layne Staley talk about his addiction/track marks, he said something about the reason he always wore long sleeves is to cover them up.

      • SHOCKTROOP

        axl never was into heroin even when he was young. be a strange habit to pick up in his old age.

  • RockOutWithMy…YouKnow

    He looks like Wilford Brimley

  • DustintheWind

    As someone who is just of the age to have gotten into GnR at he age 0f 10 just as they were becoming the biggest baddest ass bad in the world…it’s really hard to watch that video and not cringe. Just give me one 10 minute sit down with Axl..

    and that picture is fucking hilarious

  • http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3662/3346972957_abf9ca7dd7.jpg MindlessVortex

    In that pic Axl looks like the spitting image of Canadian comedian Glenn Wool

  • http://www.myspace.com/corpse555 Corpse555

    he looks like a standard southern redneck now yellin’ some racist remarks to someone to get off his lawn or he’ll get his shotgun

  • MetalMatt

    I was wondering why the fuck he’s so sunburned. Tomato status right there.

  • Pip

    This is what happens when you have money and don’t do much for a long time. Also your metabolism gets fucked as you get older.

    Kinda sucks, but if he tours enough he might lose some of that weight again.

    YEAH!! the YouTube add is real! (as far as the date and venue) as i have floor tickets for that show, i just hope it is as good as it shows haha, the last one in London sure was, and same with Toronto.

    im pumped for the 3+Hr sets, but not too pumped for him being late… but with thebad comes thegood i guess.
