WTF Happened to Axl Rose?

- As far as rock stars go, they don’t get much bigger than Axl Rose. As the front-man of Guns N’ Roses, he became an instant legend when their debut album, “Appetite for Destruction” was released in 1987. Spawning hits that are still iconic twenty-five years later (with the soundtrack for Thor: Love and Thunder featuring them prominently), including “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Paradise City,” and “Sweet Child of Mine,” the album broke out from the hard rock/heavy metal genre to become one of the biggest selling albums of all time. Throughout the late eighties and early nineties, they were one of the biggest bands in the world, with “Use Your Illusion 1 & 2” also major sellers. Axl Rose was everywhere, especially when the band started doing ballads like “Don’t Cry” and “November Rain.”
Yet, after the release of their covers album, “The Spaghetti Incident,” Guns N’ Roses started to fall apart, with iconic guitarist Slash and Duff McKagan leaving acrimoniously. Rose would spend most of the next decade working on a follow-up album, “Chinese Democracy,” with an ever-revolving lineup of members, with the album in question a critical and commercial disappointment.
In the meantime, rumours about Rose’s behaviour and sobriety ran rampant. In this episode of WTF Happened to this Celebrity, we try to separate fact from fiction and celebrate the fact that Rose has since reunited much of the original band and that they still sell out stadiums worldwide.
What do you think of Guns N’ Roses, and what’s your favorite song from the band? Let us know in the comments!

Age is what happened. Jesus. Cracks me up when people immortalize celebrities. He's just a regular guy that aged. Like we are all doing. Gained a few pounds. Sang a million hours on stage and in rehearsals. So that takes a toll on the voice, body, mind and soul. Kudos to any of these old rock stars that are still out there. Whether they sound good or not, they are old but have the courage to keep going and open themselves up to criticism.
Cracks me up how sheeple immortalize Jesus Christ - who was just a Man himself. Fascinating 🤔
@Jedimaster420 this kid's dealing with November pain⛈️😭😭
He was also unhealthy lol. He said his favorite food was fried chicken. So he gained some weight over the years
My biggest crush
i wouldnt say regular lol
In 1992 I watched this guy run the width of a football field, back and forth as fast as he could run, all while screaming at the top of his lungs for an hour and half. He never stopped once. He even changed his costume between every song in less than 5 sec... Best concert EVER!
he's got a motor
So Lucky
"changed his costume between every song in less than 5 sec." Gosh how neato!!! Too bad nickelodeon is not around anymore.
@@bobbrown1522 Tell us where the bad man touched you, Bobby
speed kills
Just saw him 30 minutes ago in a concert here in Abu Dhabi, and they played 3.5 hours with Axl at age 61! Yeah, cant hit the notes on his prime but was better than his previous concerts. Kepy running around stage and still has lots of that energy.
Was also there earlier, I lowered my expectations but damn the guy still performed like a beast!
@@TokioHotelISKawaii it's great that Axl still can & does give 100% Does your username mean: Tokyo🗼東京都 Hotel🏨 is kawaii🇯🇵可愛い🗾カワイイ🥰かわいい ?
Word? Yall watched a three hour show and came home to watch homie on the net too... cool. I hope ya can sleep bein that turned on for dude; not that there's anything wrong with that
Gun’s in Abu Dhabi? I’ve never expected that haha
So envious .he was my teenage crush .
Was SO in love with him .hope they come too UK one day
I was a touring musician for almost 30 years. No rockstar - just Vegas showrooms and cruise ships. Off the road I would get polluted. Acid and every other goody. 4 months out of the year for decades. I'm 59 and a physical wreck. I can't imagine what Axl has put himself through over that first 20 years of GNR. If he's making folks happy, God bless him. He will be in the American song book forever. Let the man do what he loves, for the folks that want to go have a blast. Shit, Alice Cooper is almost 80 and selling out shows. Very devoted fans spanning 3 generations at every show
performing is cool whatever venue, how small or how big or in between. Praise God.
Axl got older just like the rest of us. The fact the man has survived and still can rock is an amazing feat.
But did you know he's related to Kyle Rittenhouse?
everybody wants a piece of the champ😅
Can he, though? Seems like he can't sing as high and his rasp is gone. Mike Patton can still sing higher, crazier stuff than Axl and he shouldn't even have a voice left with the vocal gymnastics he does!
@@TheKitchenerLeslie so am I.
@@koreyb So? Axl is and he hides it because he's probably a compromised pedo who went to Epstein Island... remember Uncle Axl when you're starving because he pushed Joe Biden, another pedophile, for President.
I can tell you exactly what happened to him....he aged. Happens to everyone who doesn't die young.
You are right. People in general don t seem to acknowledge that fact as truth. Really, there is no truth more impactful in everyone's' life than that. Believe or not, your body, that has been for so long a certain way, begins changing on its own. WTF?
@@CrakenFlux It's mind boggling how many young people seriously think they're going to be young forever, and this whole aging thing may happen to other people but it isn't going to happen to them. Reality hits them in the face when they get to be 30 or so.
And does not resort to plastic surgery.
@@softshallow7435 Axl has definitely had some cosmetic surgery. He's had at least one facelift and hair transplant surgery. He had hair transplant surgery decades ago. The reason why he always wore either a hat or bandanna on stage during the early years was to cover his receding hairline.
@@MattyIcecubes I don’t cast hair transplant as plastic surgery. But where is proof he has had A facelift?
I first listened to them when I was 13 years old, I'm 44 years old, I'm still listening. Axl is legend. His voice, energy, passion,fever, charisma, style, magnificent lyrics, frankness, wild spirit... i mean everything he have and he did will literally remain inscribed in rock history.
UUUMMM…He is over 60 years old. EVERYONE will be different at 60 than they were in their 20s. Plus he has performed many years, singing high pitched songs millions of times. That takes a huge toll on a person. He’s definitely going down as one of the greatest rock stars. I’m not a huge G A R fan, but he has done amazingly well for himself.
Motley Crue and Alice Cooper would beg to differ.
@@natecw4164 Wdym Motley Crue, Vince is as fat as he has ever been
Lol many???his career end in 1993 😅😅😅😅
What happened to Axl Rose? Being 60 years old and is still making music and touring the world. Sounds amazing to me!
You're joking I hope.
Too right!
As much as I love Axl, he sounds like shit nowadays.
You must haven't heard Axl sing lately. LOL
Thank you that what I was getting ready to say! He got older like us all and he survived the true ROCK AND ROLL FUCKING 80s! That's a amazing thing rite there!
He's 60 years old. That's what happened. Still out playin multiple 3 hour sets a week and doin pretty damn good at it. G n F'n R🤘
Yeah...I said the same thing!😆🤘🏻🤘🏻
I agree and making lots of money, making people happy!
F yeah!
He is playing 2.5-3 hour shows but he isn't good at it these days. His voice is awful.
It is what it is..you get 1/2 Axl..alternative is 0 Axl.
He’s 61 years old and can still rock, geez. I’m 64, and can barely get off the couch!
A passionate a d really hard working authentic entertainer.
Will always love him no matter what he looks like. He's matured like a good wine.
Love him - fan forever
He's 60 years old, that's what happened to him. And no, he didn't lost his voice, he's not able to hold the distortion in his voice while doing high notes as he used to when he was 30, but his voice stills the same, he reaches all the notes with no problem, he's just old to force his vocal cords for the distortion without damaging them as he did 30 years ago, nobody stays forever young.
Argh, tell that to Rob Halford, he’ll laugh.
"And no, he didn't lost his voice, he's not able to hold the distortion in his voice while doing high notes as he used to when he was 30"...lmao
@@Blobby192 it's part of aging, one doesn't lose their face either just because it's wrinkled now
Damaged vocal cords = losing voice
Natural aging = happens to everyone
@@yafmaverick Right !
No, Axl's voice is destroyed. I don't hold it against him, but people who still pay to hear him perform are kind of silly. He is 60 and his voice is a shell of what it once was. GnR still touring is a money grab, and I don't blame them, but I wouldn't pay to see that.
Saw him 2 Days ago at their concert in Vienna. They played 3 hours! He looked healthy, was in a good mood and his voice was decent.
Same in Dublin two weeks ago.
Same in Munich a week ago! ❤
He's killing it at 60 there songs are long and hard to sing.
Well, TBH my respect to his previous work Made me tolerate his horible voice
Saw them 2018 in jakarta
Same in Groningen couple of weeks ago
He sang 'November Rain' at Lisa Maries memorial today. Yes,his voice has changed & or he was holding back some serious tears.
I think both love him though
I bet the audience cried too having to tolerate his shrill stammery whine.
Tears of not being skinny anymore.
He should take Ozempic as all the shows aren't helping him lose any pudge.
Hell if I'm as active as him at 60 I'd be thanking my lucky stars. Axe and Slash defined my taste in music. Born in the early 80s and loved these guys and he is a bloody legend at 60. He LIVED and enjoyed life
There are a lot factual errors in this video. Axl did not form Guns N Roses with Slash but with Tracii Guns. Axl did not leave the band in 1995, the others left and he replaced them one by one. The 2016 reunion tour did not include Izzy, wtf. It's really well known to all the fans and you also said you saw them live?
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH YOU GOT SCHOOLED JOBLO 🤣🤣🤣
Time to riot. 😂🤘
@@FPwLola GNR fans would never riot :)
@@mattyt1961 Never. 😉👌
Have you ever considered getting a life
I remember working at the mall and having to choose which GNR Use Your Illusion to buy. Like most people I went for 2. Great 1,2 punch nobody expected. The next week I purchased 1 and listened to both of them constantly. I do miss record stores, back when you could choose an LP, cassette or a CD.
Both of those albums are terrible compared to Appetite.
@@chilly6470 appetite was a beast. But I wouldn't say terrible, definitely bloated
@@arealone9506..... Probably a bit harsh alright but, those albums (Use your illusion l and ll) haven't aged very well.
I tried to listen to them recently and I didn't enjoy much of either of them.
I remember one went on sale at midnight. It was the blue one. Masterpiece
There are still record stores
Alcoholism, mental health issues, misdiagnosed physciatric conditions treated with a multitude of extremely heavy drugs. The man's story is actually tragic. I like to remember him for his music, who he is as a person isn't relevant to anyone that doesn't know him personally.
Most of the weight came from Lithium and other Drugs prescribed by his doctors.
Yeah,as a person with same affection as Axl I can voucher for the Lithium and prescribed drugs stacking on the weight.
A troubled person who did not get the best start in life, to say the least, I think he has done well overall. He's a survivor.
i was a huge GnR fan in that period, and i remember by 94-95 they were broken up for a while no longer on radar. music scene changed. then it was tv news blip that Axl was arrested for attacking his maid. and you can see in mugshot he was quite overweight hair thinning. but mainly you can see a lonely isolated multi millionaire heavy medicated recluse he became.
I like to remember him like when became popular, he sucked then and acted like a little bit$#, also was so over rated, the rest of the guys carried his worthless ass.
Well said.
I watched the Band in Perth Australia September 2022 , Axel Rose , Still Rocking, He is in great Shape , Looking Pretty Good for a 60 years old. Most of all He hasn't lost his Voice .
I was in Guns N' Roses concert last week, it was amazing, and his singing is still good! I don't care how he look tbh..They are 60yo. He is legend. Guns N' Roses is legend! 🤘🤘🤘 I'm happy I saw their concert 2 times. It means a lot to me.
IKR!?!? Giving someone sh*t for aging is ridiculous! We're all going to grow, if we're lucky. Whatever happened to giving some respect to our elders? I think this band has earned it.
Axl cracks me up all the egotistical shit he did.. But he has the talent to back it up
@@Rebecca-fg7pp I’m seeing a huge disrespect towards our Elders from all walks of life. Not good, considering this is where true wisdom spouts from.
Glad ya have goals In life
Price wise increase triple on everything domestically not just weapons enjoy USA hahaha🤣😂fool uncle bidon did it lol good word only actor on stage but in reality a loser lol
I'll never forget when I was about 6 years old in 1987 and I was having lunch in the school playground with a girl that i really liked. She started singing 'Paradise City' and I was absolutely transfixed by the lyrics and the way she sang them! Like a true angel! Turned out to be my first experience of Axl Rose & GnR's. The next day she brought me in a tape cassette with the full album that she had stolen off her older brother. Such an amazing moment in time.
6 yrs old?! Damn, bro, you rocked hard. How’s that gal doing now? You still friends?👌
@@supertramp6011 We parted ways at around 10 years of age when we both moved on to different high schools. I never saw or heard from her ever again. It's memories like that I carry deep in my soul. That little girl shaped how I chose future girlfriend's from that day forth. It's amazing how much our early experiences contribute to how we live out the rest of our lives.
I miss you Helen, wherever you are 🥺
6?
@@gussetblaster6786 I think ur confusing your being 6 and being 16. U parted ways when u were 10? And then went to high school?
(I’m mostly kidding. U and her, were certainly advanced 6 year olds.)
@@jeffersonott4357 I grew up in England. I remember primary school vividly. And yes I was 10 (almost 11) when I went on to high-school. Some of my classmates went on to private schools, poor people like me went on to public schools.
I see he as a very strong guy, the life he went through in his childhood not every one can survive like him. Congratulations axl
A legend! A survivor! A Rock Star and simply human being aging but still trying his best ❤ proud of him ❤
My heart breaks for young Axl. Every kid deserves love and affection
and who are you his father?
? He’s feeling bad for an abused kid, i don’t know why you are mad about that
@@m-bronte I miss my little Axl so much 🥲
But did you know he's related to Kyle Rittenhouse?
@@TheKitchenerLeslie well that's a plus! Hope Kyle sued that racist Joy Reid and her racist network MSNBC
He’s actually 430 yrs old, which is really unbelievable. See, for every calendar year, a genuine rock star’s life is 7 years. Just like dogs. The fact that all them made it this far blows my mind
The 7 year thing is false for dogs AND rock stars, LOL
Aging happens, there is no stopping it.. he's a legend ❤️
Find me a perfect person... suk it easy greasy 😢
His body looks the way it is because of extreme drugs and alcohol
@@Thomashollen-muller Yea and maybe... just maybe... he is fucking 61 years old now
Just saw them 27/7/2022 in Sydney Australia. What a show what a band. They were on song never sounded better. Three and a half hours of pure rock .
Can't stand when people mock great performers. We all get older and have health issues. He had a very troubled young background and he is a self made artist with a lot of talent. I saw a documentary on him and he has found a "second family" who has his back and loves him. I think he's found a lot of peace now and conquered a lot of demons. He had many bad relationships and I hope now he has found a wonderful woman that he loves and respects. He deserves much happiness. God bless Axl
Yes, I love Axl and wish him all the happiness he deserves, after such a rotten hard life.
I second that! He's amazing and more amazing when you discover his early life story. He has gotten a lot of bad publicity and it's not really fair. I gotta hand it to the guy 🙏🏻
Know when to say when
People age….But I think he looks better now than he did 5 years ago..
I remember moving from Kansas city Missouri to Lafayette Indiana in May of 1991. The first time I was with a group of Locals and one of his songs came on they all started telling me about him. His antics growing up and his issues in school and with the law as a youth. here was a shop, a hole in the wal by the square where you could get things like spiked gloves and rock albums. They had a wall with pictures of him on it. I think the "Axle rose shopped here" angle was the only thing that kept the dorrs open for several years.
Born in 81, grew up with their music. Always loved Axl, still play their songs.
‘82 here….I feel that
'79 here. I wanted an Appetite for Destruction shirt so bad. Grandma bought me a Polo shirt instead. ☹️
Born in 83
Qfc 10 piece hat guy must like chicken
I never saw Axl perform, but totally off topic- I met Slash. He was very polite. He asked if anyone had a cigarette. Some kid gave him his whole pack and said here you go you can have them. Slash said, no man, these are yours. Kept one and gave it back. Super cool
Good on Axl, a man true to himself.
This was great! I still love him, seeing them in concert July 2016 in Orlando was one of my biggest teenage dreams! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AXL!!!!!
My late mom loved November Rain. It helped her cope with the loss of a child
I love November Rain
Best rock ballad on the planet!
Really!!
Whoah!! I'm fuckin happy to hear that, I never knew my songs helps different people in different aspects tho
Almost 60 yrs. Still up there for us no matter what! I can’t imagine the near future a life without Axl Rose! There will never be another Guns n’ Roses!
Wots up with these guns and Roses,is it to do with amendment and the rite to bear arms?🤯🙈🤔🤯🙈🙈🙈
Sorry 😐 I've always thought they suck! Not trying to be a deush, but the only good item there was Slash
@@metalsoup88 that is blasphemy
They're music is just incredible! They were the real deal! Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll.😗
@@craigmorgan4676 Don't bear arms! Arm bears!
I have just recently become GNR fan ,simply because Axls incredible and unique voice.I don't care about his behavior, everyone has a past.I love his ability to perform in a superior way!!
From mid '80s till the mid 90's, my teenage room was covered wall to wall with Axl posters. Almost every penny I could spare from my already poor allowance, would go into Gn'R albums, posters and various other memorabilia. Nowadays, with everything being so readily and easily available through the net, it is difficult to imagine how hard we had to struggle back then, to buy an LP, or even gather info on our favorite bands. Still a fan, after more than 3 decades, and I always remember those years as the best years of my life. G'nR defined and dominated almost all my adolescence, and Axl will always be an icon for me. He may have grown older, but he still rocks!
Yes - those of us over 40 remember those times. You were lucky if something got radio play. These days it's all at your fingertips.
I'm a 60's relic who still kept up with the latest scene until the crap music set in, around the year 2OOO,after which it just got to crappy to bother with. And I recall happy memories of sleepovers as teens,bedroom walls covered in pop/rock star pin ups,up till 3am singing (badly) at top of our voices,all our fave latest hits we memorised,with latest record that we''d saved your ages as poor kids, to finally buy. Until some irate adult would storm in and yell "Turn that f....n noise off before I smash that f...n record over ya f...n stupid head!". I think they'd call it "child abuse" nowadays. But it was worth it all...For the fun, the music, the life missing in this era.
@@anon2131 Exactly!i am a 70's relic myself, and I can vouch that the parental discipline back in those days was actually something that could land many of our parents to jail nowadays...Still worth it though, at least we didn't grow up to be entitled snowflakes. And the music scene, until the 2000s was worth listening to and spending resources on- now most of it is repetitive, boring crap and the Singers/Bands have the personality of a cucumber.
@@ajd8558I would argue that these days as a fan you have it all at your fingertips. Fame is harder to acquire since it's hard to stand out in a crowd all chasing clout
You forgot to mention that Axl was (briefly) the lead singer of AC/DC too, when Brian Johnson was forced to quit touring due to hearing problems, Axl himself actually offered to step in and help them finish out the tour.
Rumour has it that Angus Young made it abundantly clear to Axl that he was not to f around and turn up late to shows etc, and to his credit Axl didn't. He was a consummate professional and showed the utmost respect the legendary band he was stepping into, and actually smashed it as their lead singer! He even stepped aside while on stage to let Angus do his thing, understanding that this was very much Angus' band, and Axl didn't want to steal the limelight from him.
There's footage of him performing with AC/DC on TH-cam, and he sounds fantastic! His voice was actually a perfect fit for their songs!
Yes, he sounded awesome with AC/DC!
Yeah he definitely mellowed with age and was totally respectful to ACDC ,no diva behaviour, turning up hours late,walking off stage,freaking out at the audience etc
I'd like to forget that, he was not fitting... These 2 comments suggesting otherwise are laughable.
I saw him sing on that tour. What can I say, Axl still has the pipes! He absolutely killed it, they couldn't have asked for a better person to fill in. I always liked Axl, but he gained so much more beyond respect after seeing him sing with the boys, lot of other fans I was talking to said the same thing. Axl kicked major arse!
I wazz at the AXL/DC SHOW AT MSG IF NOT ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS I EVER WENT TO HANDS DOWN HE KILLED IT.
My late mom loved November Rain. It helped her cope with the loss of a child.
Making another baby is more fun than listening to a record😁

Sorry for your loss... 😔
💔
The Bronze Age of DC Comics, G-n-R help many people born between 1954 to the 1980's years they are great band that tough the hearts of many people including me. I really love November Rain, it is good for healing the loses of our loved ones which we all lost many especially if up in age like Axl age. I will be turning 65 years of age it hard for me to grasp that age number. But really a person feels like oneself all through the years. Thanks for your comment I can relate I am sure many people can.
Give him a break! He has aged, more wisdom, still rockin! Saw them in ATL and they rocked the arena. Went with my adult kids, sister and her husband. I am 63 and we had a damn blast! His vocals were excellent, I think he was in a cast due to injury and dude sang from a throne and still hit it! Great band.
I met Axl in NYC back in 2006. He invited us to come with him and his friends until all hours. Paid for drinks all night.
Nice! Yeah he was really painting the town the first half of that year.
I’m actually proud at the way Axl has grown. It took him a while but at least he made it to a point where he’s cordial with his band mates and shows up to shows on time and performs his heart out. Guns N Roses will always be one of my favorite bands. 🤘🏼
100%
Totally agree
Well, that money from the show means a little more to him now.
Well said
@@deadlyoneable He was already worth a shit load of money before the reunion so money wasn't a factor really.
I saw Axl in several different bands in the 1980's on the Sunset Strip. I never thought GNR wouldn't last. You have five guys that were seriously damaged. Five really emotionally fucked up guys. I'm glad for their success and they deserve everything they got.
Lucky you
I didn’t know Slash was emotionally fucked up. I thought he just liked heroin. Most people do. But i thought he had a pretty good upbringing, but I don’t really know him personally. I had a stable upbringing. Was very close with my dad. Made good grades. Teachers liked me because I was well behaved and good at most things (except sports) lol. But its the friends you choose that can lead you down dark paths. I ended up being addicted to heroin in my 30’s got clean, got addicted again, clean, addicted. So its not always emotionally fucked up people who are addicts.
A picture of him when he's in his early 20's and another when he's 60. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what happened.
I’m impressed that he’s still here!!! That lifestyle would’ve killed 95% of us..
If you don't think he was the coolest then you probably weren't 16 and angry when they came up... he seems to have mellowed down through the years, which is a good thing in his case. Not many rock stars have as many issues as this guy and to actually make it through is his biggest accomplishment.
Maynard James Keenan is a faaaarrrrr and above, worlds better singer.
He came from an incredibly fucked up background so it's hardly surprising he was a nightmare to deal with.
What people don't ever talk about is that he is very loyal and generous to those around him.
The Halloween parties he used to throw for kids despite having none of his own are the stuff of legend.
He absolutely deserved some of the shit he got in the past but that was 20/30 years ago. He isn't like that anymore. If anything he's a shy near pension age guy.
Tldr @@lewismckenzie236
I was 15 and angry when they came up, and I definitely don't think he's the coolest. I do love that first album, though lol
@@lewismckenzie236 where can i read more about this?
Went to 3 shows in the last 2 years. The last was a small venue in Baltimore. Sold out with only 12,000 people. They played for 3.75 hrs man. Yeah, 3.75 hrs straight. Played 2 songs never before played live. Axl dodnt sound like he did in the 90's but it was my favorite concert ever. Ive seen at least 100 big shows in 30+ years. Slash was on fire. Duff had one of the best base tones live ever in my opinion. Gnr wasnt my favorite band, but it was incredible. They dont need the money. They did it for the fans. They had something to prove and did, big time. People were putting axle down for gis voice. I didnt see one person complain, or more importantly, didnt see one person leave early, even running 2 hrs over. Baltimore got a real treat that night. Ill never forget it! Most bands play for 1.5 and at most 2 hrs. Almost 4!? THANKS GNR, FOR A SHOW FOR THE AGES!
Also the November Rain video wasn't followed up by Don't Cry, Don't Cry was one of the first videos, right after You Could Be Mine
Lucky Dog. U've been living in Cambodia since theystarted touring and have NEVER seen my all time fav band live!
We were at that concert in Baltimore!👍
THIS! Seen them twice recently, once in Houston and another in San Antonio. Incredible shows, both times. This channel is bullshit nonsense
"They don't need the money". So that's why I paid $320 for one ticket 5 years ago.
Tbh I don't think Axl even aged that terribly as people say, he's 60+, no surprise he turned out a bit different from his early days. He doesn't even look that unhealthy, I don't get the fuss people make.
This is a fantastic video. Well done. Lots of history and great video clips!!! Love the comment section!!!
He got old. It happens to all of us. He's 60 years old but he still puts on a fucking good show. So regardless of what he looks like now or his age, we should still remember as the best Rock singer & frontman of all time.
Not all Redheads age as well as Elvira.
Not the best rock singer but he's up there.
His shape and health are due more to his abuse of drugs and alcohol than his age.
Axl rose is a rock and roll god. His music has stuck with me since I was 5 years old listening to appetite for destruction on cassette tape in my little boom box. Here I am 35 years later still rockin guns and roses. His music has the power to bring me back in time through all of the good and the bad. Axl is hands down my favorite rock and roll front man of all time
Lmao not a god he's TRASH Ozzy Osbourne was the god
A phenomenal performer because he wasn't so much performing as showing up and singing what needed to be sung in just the perfect way it needed to be sung. Do you know how many people I have met that got migraines for years until I taught them 'Be Axl Rose' and sing You could be mine and MEAN IT. They have all this trapped anger and are usually people who feel that must always appear nice and understanding etc. At first they look at me like 'I can't do THAT and I CANNOT POSSIBLY SAY THAT!!!!!' Do you want migraines or not? When they allow themselves to go into it (I think we've seen that movie tooooooo/ Why must you find.... another reason to cry?) and even, for a split second, feel that one nerve release...Boom. No more migraines. I tell them that they will be laughing in seconds and usually, if they get to the nerve and let go, they naturally start bubbling up and having fun with it.
@@tarawalsh7045 you get it. Not many people do. Music is more than just sounds coming together to make something cool. Real music like axl rose has created vibrates to the frequency of life
All Hail axle he's the the greatest.
W. Axl Rose is the greatest singer and songwriter of all time.
A guy who has lived his entire life in therapy clueless there is a world outside Axl in which his insignificance is immeasurable
He's still killing it. He was amazing in Dublin in July, they all were. Unfortunately we all age.
He lived a long life, someday he will be gone. He doesn't care what the critics say because he is doing what he loves until the end of his life.
Hell yeah he is rock on axle
Nothing lasts forever, even Axl Rose’s face
Been a GNR fan since the 80's....this is one of the best Axl Rose/GNR reviews I've ever seen.
When you go see a legend in concert who is aging and you’re there to judge then you missed the point along time ago. Although he still puts on an amazing performance most of his loyal fans are there for so many more reasons that only a true loyal fan can understand. I would move Heaven and Hell to go see him perform at any age…if he’s willing to give us a concert then I’m always going to be there for him…in sickness or health so help me God loyal to the end. Thank You GnR for all the great years you’ve given us…keep rocking on !!!
Could not have said it better!! Agree 100%
My 25 yr old son got into my record collection from the 80's and is now a huge fan of all the bands I listened to and loved. There are a few that are his absolute favorite - G&R, Def Leppard and Journey (Steve Perry). He told me, "Mom, I don't care if they're sitting in wheelchairs lip syncing their music, I would be honored to be in their presence." He said it would be cool just to soak in the atmosphere and listen to great music. I couldn't agree with him more.
Thats exactly what its all about. Loyal to the end. Would give just about anything to see Meatloaf live once again.
Loyal to the end GnR Need that on a T
Well put, Ann! I will always be there in spirit. They are always here for us. Pure best medicine on earth!
Man has been through hell and back and he’s still up on that stage. I would love to see him live.
Much love, peace and blessings to Axel !! One of the best legends of rock ❤❤❤
So sorry to hear he had a hard childhood, but I'm so so happy he threw his self into the art of music! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
He was so handsome before, I had a huge crush on him, but it's okay, people grow old, like what you said, Axl does what Axl wants, he didn't want to take care of his body, so he gained pounds, but as long as he is pleased with himself and not doing anything illegal, he's still cool in my book, too bad he can't go on tours even though this time he seems to really want to.
and you have to take into account, he is 60.And lived a pretty hard life for many of those 60 years. If you view him from that perspective, he isn't doing so bad. Look at a photo of Keith Richards when he was 60. Cause damn.
Luv that😊
I used to wish that I was in my 20's during the 80's, because I used to be such a GnR fan at that age.
Unfortunately 10 years ago, GnR was FAR beyond their prime and concert tickets for their "Reunion Tour" was over $1,000 for decent seats. I sure as fuck wasn't going to spend THAT much to see a Bloated, off key Axl Rose, and Steven Adler wasn't even involved with the "REUNION TOUR".
Anyways, I always thought how fucking AWESOME it would have been to be at the "Live At The Roxy, NY" concert back when these guys were still a relatively new band. Before Axl went off the deep end with his larger than life EGO.
1,000 DOLLARS?????

There was no reunion and it was only 6 years ago. 10 years ago Axl was producing his best vocals since the early 90s.
I've seen them 4 times since then and have seen many vintage Axl moments on top of the band being one of the best I've ever seen in 2 decades of over 300 gigs.
He's fucking 60. Of course singing incredibly demanding songs in their original form will lead to to some bad moments.
Check out Live and Let Die from San Diego in 2016. Pure vintage Axl.
Edit:$1000 for a ticket 😂
I've seen them 4 times for less than that. That includes a scalped stand ticket for San Diego in 2016 where I was in the 2nd row. Travelled all the way from Scotland and it was worth every penny.
@@lewismckenzie236 Well, here in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena during that So-called reunion tour, (That was how it was advertised on the radio here)seats from rows 1-15 were a no less than $1,000.
Like I said, idgaf, I wasn't gonna pay that to see NOT the original lineup of that band, nope, no way, no thankyou.
I'd need to force myself to take Steven Adler amounts of cocaine, and drink Duff amounts of booze to talk myself into doing that.
I paid $25.00 to see them in their prime in 1991 with Izzy still in the band. I didn't even accept a free ticket from a friend to see them on the reunion tour.
That would have killed the awesome memory I had of seeing guns n roses when they were relevant and ruled the world.....
Nothing happened to him other than he gets older like the rest of us,❤️
Why are you even asking mate? He has made amazing music for the whole world and you never know what he has been through....so don't judge please. Just appreciate....he was, is and will be a rock legend.
I'm so sick of people wrecking on him about his looks. People get old and this is what happens. He doesn't look terrible or anything. He helped write one of the if not the greatest rock and roll album ever. What have you done lately?
I think he looks great
Axl Rose Rules
Greatest front man of all time imo
I saw him in concert back in 1992!!! He was awesome!!! I STILL LOVE GNR to this very day!!! Axl STILL KICKS ASS to this very day!!
It's not the loss of voice that is worrying, rather the fact that if you close your eyes and listen to him sing, you cannot tell that it is him anymore, unlike other examples like steven tyler, or scorpions vocalist or brian johnson etc , yes age does go with loss but for some one who has been doing it for decades it's unlikely for it to be the only factor, these guys drink and smoke probably 24/24 try to do that and see what happens. You could retain with good care a part of it at least, on the other hand some may not be effected by aging as much as others.
Dear Axl, it would mean the world to your fans if someday you could please release more of the Use Your Illusion and Appetite for Destruction tour pro shot concert footage.
It looks like you have a box set coming out this November which is great. We love you for that and thank you. There is so much concert footage from those two tours though and there is a universe of people who are desperate to relive those shows or just be able to see shows they never went to in the late eighties and early nineties. God bless you brother and thank you for so much great music.
Dude Axl is never going to see this comment 😆
@@Aaron-wt4fx lmao
"Nothing lasts forever, even cold November rain"
“Is there such a thing as rocking too hard?” Asks this guy as I headbang and launch my earbud across the room.
dude when he sang for acdc it was awesome. i dont care what anyone says
Saw guns n roses in June, they played for three hours straight, total legends
How was his voice? Was it up to par with what we've had before?
Depends when they saw them. Had some great shows in the first half then he blew his voice in Dublin so had to struggle through a few shows. Mine was the only one to get cancelled.
@@lewismckenzie236 funny enough, it was the Dublin show. Have to say, he and the rest of the band put on a great show. You could see the difference of his voice due to age and other issues, but at the same time it was Axl up there singing.
Y'all sat around for hours listening to Kathleen Turner wailing? @@stephenoleary9579
He's really A true rock star , he lived the way they said , their the first rock band with A billion views not only first but 2th and 3rd and 4th , first recorded sold 42 million still going , he's 60 years old and can hit any note he wants Too at any time , dose 3 plus hour sets and dose It everyday almost . . . Nothing happened Too him , what happened Too you Is the question . . .
Hes still a Rock God and will be a rock legand
You guy's are so mean am I the only one who has something nice to say about him. What happened was the typical life of a rock star I'm suprised he survived but GNR put out a lot of amazing music that I still love listening to I don't care what anyone has to say.
Its called father time.. Everybody ages...but he's still rocking with the band performing all across the globe in 2022.. That is impressive as hell..
Axl Rose has an awesome voice and stage presence. "Use Your Illusion 1 & 2" are a great double album. If the shame is ego got in the way of his talent. I did hear you got good reviews on his last live tour with Guns and Roses.
Bing Crosby was in my favourite brunette 1947 with Peter lorre Lon Chaney jr Bob hope directed by Elliott nugent screenplay by Edmund beloin

I stopped listening GNR since Izzy left! I was 12!Appetite is the best!
He's killing it if you go live you would see and hear 4 yourself.
I saw em last September, he was struggling, but still killing it!
He got old. Just like the rest of us old 80s rockers.
One thing we can agree on is that guns and roses are an epic band and one never bettered.
Absolute Legend... exactly what we all needed in the 80`s. Life changed after appetite for destruction and for the better.... long live ( the original ) 🌹 Guns N Roses 🌹
In his own mind, and yours apparently
@@Steve.Cutler I was referring to when their album / music hit the UK but hey its all good lol 🤗
He's older! The man is a legend, and no vocalist can touch that range. A tenor who can hold notes 3 octaves higher, for as long as he does, or did, deserves the highest respect. I'm more into the heavier side of metal,but gnr was the first and will always hold a personal section of my heart.
I don't know about no vocalist reaching his range. Phil Anselmo definitely hit notes that seemed impossible. Especially when it comes to how deep and gruff his voice actually is when he speaks. Medicine Man from CfH has him almost shattering glass and that's only one of many examples. Axl's got a legendary pitch reach but I can't say nobody else can hit it. This Love from VDoP is worth a mention aswell with Phil's range but all of Cowboys From Hell shows more of what Anselmo can do when it comes to extreme range.
Coma is one of the songs that proves Axl can hit low and high effortlessly but all of AFD would be the best example for that IMO.
Edit- I have to mention Chris Cornell's phenomenal vocals in Jesus Christ Pose aswell. Absolutely eardrum vibrating pitch👌🏻🤘🏻.
So proud of all my fellow fans in this comment section. 🤘
Video: Axl doesn't look the same as he did 30 years ago
Me: neither does anyone
First time I’d heard of them was on MTV’s headbanger’s ball. Then they opened for Mötley Crüe. I remembered being 15 but I saw them at Hollywood Sportatorium Nov ‘87 so I had just turned 16, there was no Uber, so my mom dropped me and my friends off at the venue lol was such an amazing show. I still have my ticket stub.
Axl is the man! I saw him in 2012 for new year's eve in Las Vegas... best singing performance I ever heard. 4 hours show. All my respect for him!
Cost?
Man's an absolute wanker 🤣
He refused to play w Duff and Slash for 20 years a true asshole ego maniac. I love him
@@worsethanhitlerpt.2539 that isn’t fair, you don’t know exactly what went down between him and the others. Axl is more sensitive than people realise and obviously what ever specific events happened hurt him deeply
I'm same age as him. Been a loyal fan for years. Yes, he's not the same as he used to used to be, but who is? I saw him in Chicago, and he put on an awsome show! Gotta love this this man for all he's been through! HE STILL CAN ROCK!!
He is still the most remarkable rock and roll legend!
I'll vote Jimi Hendrix thank you and he acquired his status in a short 3-4 year run. But AXL was once at the top of the pile.
@Harris Turner your still kicking are you. You old bastard. Shut your trap! Nobody cares for your loser opinions. Dirt nap time
I have more respect for him after taking the crowds safety really serious after that horrible situation... I mean he seemed to take it serious when it happened by trying to chill the crowd down, but he really took extra precautions after that...
I think Axl did a lot to rehabilitate his image when he stepped in for Brian Johnson on that AC/DC tour a few years ago. From all accounts, he was the consummate professional and did a great job singing for them. Moreover, they got to play a few songs from the archives that Johnson couldn't pull off anymore. Just proves AC/DC is good for you
I saw a utube video of him when he sang for ac/dc ..holy shit he killed it! Didnt even sound like him !
I remember seeing Benny Hill singing for AC/DC too- just couldn't take that seriously.
Looks to me like he's been doing nightly gigs at the Old Country Buffet.
Guns N Roses 🌹 bomb in the 90s went to see concerts Guns N Roses 🌹 would come on stage The audience went crazy I was in that crowd guess he wasn’t feeling it at that time. Guns N Roses in my mind will always be Rockstars. Sweet Child of mine and November Rain soulful songs Isn’t that were music comes from inner part of you from the heart?
Axle Rose was the voice of the 80's. So why not just appreciate it. I'm sure he made great memories and still, to this day, is everyone's HERO!!
He's the greatest performer of all time!
AXLE ROSE!!! 🌹
You know how fans would cry for Michael Jackson. That is how I am with Axl Rose. Literally brings tears to my eyes because I was just 4 or 5 years old and admired him and so did my dad. True legend. Always
Axel has something that very few people in this world have.
It is called "charizma". Even James Hetfield recognizes it as telling in inteviewu " When Axel enters the room and sit simply on a chair everybody stop talking and starts watching at him".This is something you either have or you don't.
He got old, like all of us lucky to still be here have.
Saw them few weeks ago live. Blown away by Slash. Axl's voice sounds like it might have recovered a bit over covid. His movement and stage presence is still elite!
Axl’s voice hasn’t recovered....tech ivy has gotten better. If you ho early think that there aren’t backing tracks and or someone behind the stage also singing, like with OZZY, I’ve got a bridge to sell ya. ;)
@@reagandow850 Noone sings with Axl though
