Completely off topic, but I have found it. THE one. Unless you've already seen it, prepare to shield your eyes, for this is by far the worst thing he's ever worn. Even by my standards. Sure, I'd still jump his bones, but on a purely fashion level, this is scary. [link]

::dies:: No, no.. ::up-chucks, then dies:: Is that a PLEATED SKIRT???
Oh yeah..he'd defiantly have to take IT ALL OFF before I'd jump him..
Lord...where do you find this stuff....
I think to only outfit I really like him in are the ripped jeans and black vest...No way could he have possibly dressed himself in that...someone must have picked it out for him...

You might find me strange, but I actually love what Axl wears! Yes, EVEN the rose-print spandex! But ESPECIALLY the bandanas!! I VERY rarely go a day without one... And I own a hat similar to the one that he's wearing in this excellent drawing, but I don't wear it because its too big, and I know of nowhere where I can get it made smaller! Damn Japan and their stupid hat sizes, and inability to let someone try a hat on first! Grr!
Anyhoo! I like Axl's fashion sense! <-- Look! The emoticon dances like Axl!
So loooooooooooooooooong!
Bye BYE!
Its glad ta know ya!
Love Elleh!

hey there! Thankies muchly Now, I probably wouldn't mind Axl's rose spandex if they were curtains
Sorry about the dang hat...have to tried sewing black felt around the inside of the hat band? That will make it smaller...

Curtains eh? Do you mean stage curtains, or a kilt to act as a curtain from the rose-print spandex?
Thanks for your advice on the hat, but I'm absolutely shtinking shit at sewing, and I'm sure to botch it up and make the hat go psycho-looking.... not that it isn't anyway, but... I think I'm going to sell it on Ebay for a bit of cash, and use THAT cash to buy a REAL hat!! Not some cheapo too-big thing I bought in a Japanese crafts store!
Any ideas of where I can GET one of these legendary po-leece hats without nicking one off an ACTUAL po-leece office? Actually, that would be kewl... but I'd probably end up in major trouble... althouuuuuugh I could ASK one if I could try on his hat, and then ask if I could have it.... that might work, and I wouldn't get in trouble that way.
*plots an evil plan to get The One Po-leece Hat from the Black Gates of Copdor* (sorry, been watching Return of the King again...)
Thanks for your reply, sorry I took A G E S to reply back!
So looooooooooong
Bye BYE!!
Its glad ta KNOW ya!!
Love Elleh!

It's a black leather kilt. It's kinda funny to watch him in the real plaid ones 'cause when he runs back and forth it ends up flying up n' ya see the white bike shorts he has underneath. You probably wouldn't mind what he wears off stage and not in photo shoots. Jeans and a t-shirt is far too "average" for that sort of event. I found one of him in black velvet leggings a few days ago. But I can't make fun of him for that 'cause I used to have some, too.

Ah, but he's a rock star, thus doesn't apply to the "normal" rules. ...And I think I still have those leggings somewhere... Spandex was my attire of choice as a kid. Don't ask why; I don't know. What about big rose print spandex? Is he allowed to wear those in good taste? I'm guessing the answer is no.

Listen, I can barely stand Comic-book superheroes wearing spandex, let along real people (little kids excluded)...and rose print spandex was outlawed under the "visual protection and sanity rights of the general populace" act of 1983.

Well, he's been arrested a number of times before. The sentence for wearing spandex can't be worse than riots, drunk in public, and assault...even if it should be. More spandex-wearers for me. Well, in theory. Since all that's left are ballet boys.

Hey! Don't mock the ballet boys! (is a ballet freak...and they don't wear spandex..they wear leotards and tights... ~_^) And the sentence for wearing rose-print spandex is permanent living arrangements on Jupiter...
Dang I love that bogie emoticon...

Hm, I may just have to move to Jupiter then. Purely innocent reasons, of course.
and leotards show just as much as spandex. you know it.

Well, on some small level he's wearing it for a purpose on stage. He spends the entire show sprinting back and forth from one side of the stage to the other. But not on stage, there's no excuse. My mother's favorite comment is "he really thinks he's somethin', doesn't he?" is I'm sure completely true. But not her followup of "he's pretty ugly".

A small purpose...a very ...very small purpose...
Well if the first picture of A. Rose you showed me was of him in spandex..I'd have thought he was odd looking too...
I've completely given up on discussing who I think are atractive men with my mom...we really do not have the same taste at all...except with Alan Rickman...we both agree on him...

Probably what I'll do over the summer, since a real summer job is just a pain in the arse. Especially since I don't have my license or a car. The folks were considering getting me one of those little TVs with a VCR and DVD player built in a few years ago, but they got me an intel mp3 player instead. Nice at the time, but really crappy compared to what you can get ipods for now.

EEE! About the only person that makes me write comments comparable to the "OMG KAWAII" fangirls. Sad really. And I worship you for making Axl look like Axl. Even if I *cough* usually like what he wore. Oh if only you saw some of the outfits of that era. It'd probably scar you for life. Just be grateful he wasn't wearing neon spandex, scarves, and random studded leather.

Thank you! Thank you! Oh, I've seen some real doozies of his... At least the body coverings (I'm not going to call them clothes) are really fun to draw
So I make Axl look like Axl? Thankies! What do you mean though..that I draw his horrid garments? I loved that photo...I couldn't really make the drawing look like there was a sun setting in the background >.< Oh well...
Now that I've listed to UYI I more..Im realizing what a vocal chameleon he is..his voice just goes everywhere and he can do these amazing things with it..very cool...

That, and the fact he just...looks like Axl. Don't think there are many on this site, but a lot of drawings of him turn out a little "off" to the point it looks like his brother or something (I actually don't know exactly what his real brother looks like, short of the fact he has true red redhair, not strawberry blonde, but you know what I mean). You get the facial features and everything right. And I love that particular picture, too.
And Axl's voice definitely does run the gamut. Even people who don't like it (such as my friend who says he's a cat being raped) will admit the man can sing in the normal definition of "good" when he tries. But the unique phrasing and sounds make it all the more fun. I've never been able to figure out how he does it. Like how he physically does it. Someday I'm going to find a vocal coach or something who can explain, because his speaking voice is so soft and low compared to it. Then again, most vocal coaches probably pull their hair out listening to him.

I have no idea what Axl's speaking voice sounds like, so what you said came as a surprize..I'd imagine he'd sound very hoarse. 0_o
Thanks! It was fun to draw..I like profiles a lot...because there's lees to mess up..haha. And I know what you mean about other drawing's of him being off...They don't get the nose right or something...In one of the photo's I've seen (er...sitting down..scary red blazer, jeans..) he has one of the sweetest smiles I've ever seen...you would never think he was a raging psycho....

Dunno if I have any sound clips on this computer, but when he isn't throwing a tantrum, he's quite polite, soft spoken, and a lot of people describe him as a real gentleman. But on the other side of his bi-polar disorder (and you can't get much more bi-polar) he'll go from being all smiles and laughing to screaming and throwing things within seconds. It's kinda funny because a lot of people have stories from before he was big about him being extremely shy. Like Nikki Sixx remembers throwing a party and having two girls come to the door saying they were there with Axl Rose, and he wanted to come in but was too shy to go knock on the door and ask (since at that time Motley Crue was insanely famous). Nikki let the girls in and left Axl outside (aww).
Most people genuinely likes him and think he's a great guy...half the time. Even Slash said recently he'd be completely willing to rejoin and be around him again if he'd get his shit together and be a little less nuts. That'll happen sometime after never.
And I completely know what you mean about his nose. Probably the weirdest answer I ever give when I try to tell people what's attractive about him (mosty to the people who don't agree). No idea what it is. Maybe it's just that his face is really nicely proportioned and....pretty.

He must have some kind of chemical imbalance...which there's medication for..but if he's all new age-y and St. John's Wort (which my mom takes and it really does work for her...but then, she isn't nuts) Then you're right, he'll be 80 and nuts.
You're right...he is pretty...he has that full lower lip, high cheek bones and quite lovely eyes...but his jaw line saves him from looking like a girl.
Aw hell..here I am analyzing "Why I Think Axl Rose is Attractive" when I should be writing "The Importance of Organic Lawn and Garden Care: the Consequences of using Harmful Herbicides and Pesticides and their effect on our Ecosystems and Human Health."
