He's frickin huge. Don't gimme that crap that he looks well for 50, he doesn't. I don't particularly care how he looks however I just find it funny that people will defend him to the last.

Axl is growing Man Boobs. That's where the two parties left off more than a quarter century ago. Rose himself was charged with four misdemeanor counts of assault and one misdemeanor count of property damage.
He and the band also faced numerous civil suits stemming from the incident. Now, 26 years later, one would presume that all such legal matters have been put to bed. A generation has passed and both the city and the band -- as well as their fans -- seem willing to let bygones be bygones.
But while it's possible to forgive that evening's transgressions, or simply get beyond them, it's unlikely that anyone who was in the thick of the chaos and destruction of the concert's aftermath will ever forget. I know I won't. At the time, I was an arts editor at the Riverfront Times , an alternative weekly. I attended the show with a colleague, staff writer Thomas Crone.
Neither of us were covering the show, per se, but habit forced me to bring a notebook and a pen, just in case something newsworthy happened. The show -- which lasted for nearly a full concert before the trouble started -- was terrific. The band played through "Welcome to the Jungle" and "Mr. Brownstone" -- by then, already hard-rock classics -- from Appetite for Destruction , an album currently celebrating its 30th anniversary.
But the real appeal of the show was a handful of soon-to-be classics from the then-forthcoming Use Your Illusion albums, which wouldn't be released until that September: "You Could Be Mine"; "November Rain"; and the band's epic cover of Paul McCartney 's "Live and Let Die" were all performed that night. It was nearly 90 minutes and 15 songs into the show, during the performance of "Rocket Queen," when things went sideways.
Rose became furious with a fan in the first several rows, yelling, "Take that! Take that! Get that guy and take that! His objective was later revealed to be a camera being used by an audience member. This was during the pre-smart phone era, recall; not everyone in attendance at a concert had ready access to a camera like they do now, and there actually was a reasonably-lucrative trade in grainy, poorly-lit concert photos shot surreptitiously with less-than-adequate equipment.
It took a while for Axl to get fished out of the group of people he'd leapt into, which -- Oops! Their leader, Bill "Stump" Stephenson , was the one with the camera. Back onstage, Rose said, "Thanks to the lame-ass security, I'm going home!
No one was quite sure what had just happened or what might happen next. Time froze. Eventually, the lights came up and egress music began playing, but by then the audience's blood pressure was up.
Debris rained down on the stage and GNR roadies only exacerbated the situation. One of them -- a man dressed in multicolored tights, wearing metal bracelets and holding a walking cane -- taunted the crowd, grabbing his crotch and making jerking-off motions. Meanwhile, violence had broken out everywhere. Rapt by the cinematic unreality unfolding all around us, Crone and I watched from our seats in the eighth row.
Here are a few mental snapshots:. A man, naked to the waist , with a gash on his shoulder and blood running down his face, broke free from the donnybrook down front and ran up the aisle.
Many bands, having lost their way or momentum three or four albums in, desperately attempt, usually fruitlessly, to recapture the zest and spirit of their early works. How many times have we heard Noel Gallagher describe Oasis's latest effort as their best since Definitely Maybe?
Rose, however, has insisted that part of the reason for Chinese Democracy's ridiculously long gestation period is that he was striving for something new. I'm trying to do something different,' he said in Some people are going to say, "It doesn't sound like Guns N'Roses. The thing is, apart from the title track, the leaked tracks do sound like Guns N'Roses.
Or certainly a lot more like Guns N'Roses than Queen. In , the band contributed a track called 'Oh my God' to the soundtrack of Arnold Schwarzenegger film End of Days, which indicated that the album was heading in a more industrial, Nine Inch Nails direction. As does the eponymous track released this week. But others, such as 'Catcher in the Rye' and 'Madagascar', are more straightforward rockers, not too far removed from material on Use Your Illusion.
Which wouldn't displease many of Rose's fans. Could it be that Rose has spent millions on the new Guns N'Roses purely to get them to sound like the cheap garage rock band they were originally? The musical landscape has changed beyond recognition since the last Guns studio album. But music is a cyclical beast and it could be that Rose has picked a very good time to return. Rose is now managed by Irving Azoff and Andy Gould, who can be forgiven a little hyperbole, having finally got Rose the autocrat to relinquish his hold on Chinese Democracy.
In , he married Erin Everly, daughter of Don Everly and the inspiration for the band's 'Sweet Child O'Mine' single, but the couple split within a month. Best of times: Guns N'Roses have sold more than 90 million albums worldwide. Worst of times: Rose claims that he was sexually abused by his biological father as a toddler and later, with his half-brother and half-sister, physically abused by his stepfather.
