AXL ROSE Got Really Old (Video)
It seems “Guns N’ Roses” frontman AXL ROSE got really old since his days of rock and roll in the 80′s and 90′s when he used to prance onstage in ripped jeans, ripped pecs, ripped abs, and not much else. Even if we should hazard a guess, we’re thinking maybe rival Jon Bon Jovi may have won at the longevity game this time around…
Axl Rose resurfaced in the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil where he joined the new lineup of Guns N’ Roses after having been away from tour for a better part of 15 years.
Hollywood gossip websites remember when Axl Rose was a lean, mean rocking machine sighed over by groupie wanna-be’s in many a Guns N’ Roses pin-up.
Axl, now 49, had one excuse for staying stationery onstage while belting out his old hits:
“I’m going to try to focus on singing rather than running around like an idiot. I’m better at being an idiot.”
Hmmm…maybe prancing around will help you lose all that middle-aged spread, Axl Rose. If Jon Bon Jovi‘s been able to keep everything intact except his wild hair, maybe you could do him one better…

Did anyone happen to notice during this clip the amount of water that Axl was kicking up on the stage that night??? THAT’S BECAUSE IT WAS POURING RAIN and they were having tremendous sound problems due to it and they were trying to cover their equipment but yet they decided to keep playing in the rain for over two hours which is saying a whole lot. He’s not sounding bad, and it could be due to technical problems because of the weather. Did anyone notice that there were oh about 1.4 million people who didn’t mind standing in the rain in RIO just to hear GUNS N’ ROSES? I didn’t think so. Nuff said!!
Let’s not forget AXL is also a song writer, and that is why he survived all these years. Axl always going to get royalties for Sweet Child Of Mine for life he’s set if he performs or not so KUDOS to people who choose to keep working rather than retire and TO HELL with your age discriminatory article. I wonder if the guy that wrote this article is the same man now, that he was in the 80′s? No one expects Axl to look the same. We’re just glad to see him back at it, don’t try and run him off! We still like him and he can still sing rock exceptionally. Long live Rock!
@ LYNN – You are so right! I thought exactly the same thing. I’d like to see what kind of shape this author is in if they make it to middle age…or are already there and haven’t seen anyone for, shall we say, augmentation procedures?
I’m looking forward to seeing the band in Seattle!
I absolutely agree:))) Axl, we love you, no matter how old(?) you are…
Lynn. are you on Facebook? I’d like to connect with you regarding Sea Shepherd Conservation.
