Axl Rose @ Universal Studios
Alex Abdalla
the 30th. Even though I don't agree with anything musically he's doing
anymore, I have to say I was curious as to what he looks like today.
This is the real thing; I saw him with my own eyes (for all you skeptics
out there).
First off, due to my job, I get inside info if there's going to be a
special guest inside the park. Important people there know I like the
real GNR and brought it to my attention Axl would be there that night
(along with Ozzy, FYI). I got a call from a friend as to where he was
at about 1am. They closed the park to the general public and began
clearing everyone out, with the exception of special guests.
I cruised down to the Rob Zombie Maze where I see a group of people
standing near the exit of the maze. There is a person at the exit whose
job is to scare people as they leave the maze. All that this group was
doing was standing around laughing at the people getting scared as they
exited. I go up to a security guard and ask what's going on. He said
quietly that this was Axl Rose's group for the night. Acting surprised,
I said "Really?? Where is he?" I started looking and he pointed him
out. So here we go...
1) Personally, I did not recognize him at first glance, although I was
looking through a group of people about 10 feet away from me which
included about 15 people standing around. But then it clicked. "No
shit, there he is".
2) He was wearing a white t-shirt, long light brown khaki pants and
white tennis shoes. Earrings, and appeared to not have shaven for about
2 days.
3) What appears to be of huge concern to so many (why, I don't know) is
the hair: about shoulder length, same thickness I always remember, but
like I said, not as long. Not nearly as long. Same hair, no balding,
just shorter.
4) Had a few drinks but wasn't severely tanked.
5) He's got a good gut going. That's the truth. Let's just say that
if he were to do a video for "Oh My God (What A Horrible Song)", they'd
have to do something magically with it. Not terribly fat, but not
anything like anyone remembers. Just the gut, nothing else. Once you
know it's him, it's obvious. You ask yourself "how didn't I recognize
him in the first place". But yes, he has a gut. But looks the same.
6) He was there with a girl (one of the trashiest looking things I've
ever seen; a real plastic wonder) and his sister. The reason I know his
sister was there was because he laughed and said "he got my sister",
referring to the person scaring people as they exited the maze.
7) I saw what I wanted to see and left.
That's it folks, for all of you wonderers out there. That's the real
scoop, no BS. If he were in a big crowd of people and looked over those
people real quick, you probably wouldn't recognize him, like I didn't.
But once you see him, it's like you never could not have recognized
him. Now if only he were to make some real music like he knows how...

If Axl were really ready to go back into the spotlight, I think he would
have a lyposuction or something... unless he's afraid it will kill him.

It just doesn't seem like Axl to have a "gut". He's too vain and all the
reports were that he was working out like crazy. Perhaps he's broader
and wider and given the fact that he's actually just barely 5'8 he may
look fatter. I'm not saying Axl's incapable of becoming fat, we all are,
and at 37 I'm sure the old metablolism has slowed down. But, it just
wouldn't make since that on the brink of his big comeback attempt he
would be struttin' around with a Homer Simpson belly. Possible case of
mistaken idenity? Stewart (Axl's brother) perhaps? Del James? Someone
else in the Axl camp? Maybe it was the never before seen Paul "Huge"?
Then again, maybe that's why the album has been delayed again..so Axl
can get his ass in shape!

I was thinking the same thing. Also would a man who was so concerned
about being in shape for the illusion era (bringing a punching bag in
the studio..having a personal trainer etc.) just suddenly say "screw the
working out! I'm just gonna be in the public eye again for the first
time in many years....it doesnt matter how I look"? Hey maybe he does
have a gut I dont know, but if I'm to believe this I'm gonna believe the
guy in the doors news group that says they saw jim the other day as
well.

>and at 37 I'm sure the old metablolism has slowed down
Oh yeah, he's 37... Fuck, he's practically dead. By this time in his life he's
practically on life support... The old metabolism's not what it used to be.

Yes ... he was at Universal Studios. But I'm skeptical 'cause I've seen
him too, and at a much closer range than "10 feet w/ 15 people" around him.
>4) Had a few drinks but wasn't severely tanked.
How could you tell he had been drinking? How do you know he wasn't just
behaving how he normally would?
>5) He's got a good gut going. That's the truth.
Sorry man ... this doesn't click at all. I was with the man myself not too
long ago. Anyone who knows me and my reputation for "GNR truth" over the
past 12 years on the internet will know that I don't intentionally spread
false statements. (I've been wrong about a handful of things, but that was
from not checking all my sources.)
Axl doesn't have a gut.

working out and staying in shape (thus getting people psyched up for the big
comeback), or would they admit that he's put on a little weight and might
have some real work to do. Again, it wasn't huge. But it was there. I'd
say on his 5'8" frame, he was about 160-165lbs. It wasn't that bad.

"clicked", there was no mistake it was him. I heard him talking and it was
the same voice we heard in all those interviews back in the day. It wasn't
a huge gut, but it's nothing like what he was back then. I'd take it as a
good sign; if he were still a hype, he wouldn't have that kind of weight on
him (i.e. SCOM video). It was a weird night, that's for sure. Of all those
videos, concerts, commercials, and guest appearances, there he was, 10 feet
away. It's nothing to get disappointed about; I'd think he could work it
off by the time he gets the real GNR back together.

nowhere and start a long post and keep replying to the reposts? Trust me, if I
wanted to waste my time, I'd be doing something else.
10' is not far at all. 10-15 people were around him, but not to where you
can't see him. 10' would be across a very small room; a jail cell almost.
That's nothing. People weren't ganged around him; I could see him just fine.
Out of respect for the guy, I wasn't going to stand right next to him like an
idiot. He was with friends having a good time and I wasn't about to become a
nuisance, nor was anyone else wanting to catch a glimpse of him.
I know when someone's been drinking. It's part of my job to do so (no, I'm not
a security guard). It's all about demeanor.
His gut wasn't bad and maybe I'm getting the wrong point across by using that
term. He's definitely put on weight. But he's not huge. Through his shirt, I
did see "a little roundness" (let's try this and see what happens).
