yeah, I thought the same thing. he seemed bashful. probably because he stopped doing interviews for a long time. I love it!!!! ^,^ shy bad boy. xP

He still has the sweetest smile

I know, right:)

He has a beautiful smile but he doesn't like it :( that's why he barely smiles on pictures

His always been calm and collected in any interviews even though some questions might have annoyed him..

Lol yes really does here

keithsa41 he’s the pizza man!!

Lmao I can’t 🤚😭

Why does it look like he shaved his eyebrows?

And he was nearly 40 there lol

@amonsurtur9375, Of course this is Axl. Why do you think it was not Axl?

me too!!

Like "at the drive in" once sang... 🎶🎶will you fall in love with my anger🎶🎶 Will you fall in love with my Anger!!!

😂😂😂😂

i love him omg

😄

Izzy was there.so he knew Izzy

Axl is actually one of the friendliest and most approachable rock stars of all time. If you catch him at the right time he'll shoot the shit with you for a minute.

Find that very hard to believe.

i find these psychology labels very dumb. people are just people

Do you even know what the word humble means?

@@MeelisMatt doesn't matter what you believe, theese aren't just labels. There actually are introverts and outroverts

@@angmaraboli6511 do you know Axl in person, have you talked to him at least for 5 minutes? Being humble is not equal with not saying his opinions or not having self confidemce in his abilities. Have ever heard him say "I'm the biggest rockstar" or similar? Have you heard him ever brag about having one of the widest vocal ranges of men? I never heard him brag about anything. And to amswer your possible counter question, yes I have met him and I talked to him and he actually was very kind, humble, intelligent amd friendly

definetly some plastic sugery,or botox.

@@ciaran6309 I really don't think he had that. I think he just gained some height and his face looked less defined, and he shaved his eyebrows for some reason.

@@JR-uy2nd He looks like he was very sick and his speech is a lot higher here but that could've been out of nervousness

@@JR-uy2nd lmao are you for real? He’s had a facelift and is wearing a freaking wig here.

@@blahzay_ A wig? No way. He had a hairtransplant.

f off fanboy

Best of the best

100 percent!

Well said!!!

20 now

@@yert1832 that means he was 40 at this moment?

@@ruudbrood1073 Yeah thats what we call math

@@yert1832 No way he is 40 here.

@@ruudbrood1073 its 2001, he was 39

Yep!!! I couldn't agree more!!!

I agree. I think he has a Napolean thing going on with Gn'R but as far as public image...the media did take it to him good and unfairly. I actually met him once...I was on vacation in LA and saw him at a bagel/coffee shop. I approached him, somewhat nervously because I had this media drive image of him, but he was incredibly gracious and actually gave me, my wife and kid a few minutes of actual time. It wasn't just a hello and autograph. He actually asked about how old our son was, what his name was and thought it was really cool that my son knew who he was and about Gn'R music...me and the wife are both music freaks and it rubs off. He spoke with us for about 10-15 minutes and was very cool, he even picked up our check, lmao! I felt so tacky and didn't want him doing it, we kept declining and he said "if I didn't really wanna' do it then I wouldn't offer, so please". I still brag to friends until this day that Axl Rose bought me and my humble family bagels. But it totally changed my entire opinion of the guy.

Steve E I LOVE your comment but I respectfully have to disagree with the "Napoleonic" part of it. No offense but I think people tend to put way too much stock in what certain former band members say when, during the UYI Tour, none of them gave a shit how much emotional pain Axl was in at the time (he never should have been touring then). I saw two shows during the Vegas Residency (5/30-31) and not only did he and his band mates sound AMAZING, you could tell how much more of a supportive family GNR has become. I also met Axl after one of the shows. I just stood there like a Fan Girl Dork and filmed with my iPhone. I was too nervous to say anything; not because of his reputation-- I always suspected there was "A Lot [More] Goin' On" than what people saw during the times he was pushed to the edge. Even though it was an unforgettable experience, I hope I get another chance at meeting him so I can give him the thanks he deserves. It was such a joy to see him so happy after the all the hell he's been through. Peace! :)

Lesley Wentzell Yea tottaly agree. To that I will add that if you read Duff's or Slash's memoirs about that time you really get the gist of what terrible addicts they were. One can just imagine the dynamics between someone using and someone not using. They write about how Ax shut himself off from them completely but after you read about their behaviors and how drugged up and sloshed they were all the time I would have stayed far away from them too. What sane sober person would want to stay anywhere near a bunch of addicts? Izzy couldn't stand it once he got sober. Ax did right by taking over the name and continuing on after they left. He was the shrewdest one of them all and deserved it, and it was his name. Had they taken over the GNR name they would have made a mess of everything.

Morgaine Demonia Beta is Axl's secretary, she has been helping Axl for years. Axl loves Beta a lot, she supported him in tough times as well.

Голос слабее стал

some of us redheads hardly have eyebrows...

th3n04h but he had eyebrows before 🤷🏻‍♀️

Emily plastic surgery

Lol he dyed them!!!

No stage makeup

+Dave Mathison Actually Gilby's thing was before. There are 1 or 2 pictures. 2000...

He always was always in to hip hop though.. So it was kind of to be expected?

@@Principessa180 nothing wrong with that by any means. Craziest thing is his onstage persona was out of control but his personal life he was so quiet and calm.

@@thomascee779 hi Thomas I agree there's nothing wrong with it. I can imagine that. I believe War is a very decent very honorable person. The media really thought they'd dirty his name. they wanted to take him down any which way-and they couldn't because integrity wins every time.

@@Principessa180 which is why he hates the media, can't blame him either. Not to mention he had a traumatizing childhood that would scar anyone who went through what he went through. After all that the guy is just a quiet keep to himself kinda guy. Who happens to be one the most gifted singers and song writers to have lived

@@thomascee779 exactly. Thank you yeah, Very humble. He's absolutely noteworthy and he's worthy of love and to be loved deeply and unconditionally. Sorry your words set me off. Long time fan here🙄 But yeah I do agree with all you say there Thomas.

You can clearly see he’s had a facelift in this video. Wake up

and dont go grey , just white

Exactly...this is the REAL Axl....

medication now

He’s mellowed out with age like most people.

Yes, I noticed this too. The interviewer's voice sounds deep compared to Axl's normal baritone voice. Medication? Surgery?

Melanie Davies it’s not Axl Rose

@@Keplerb-od1lr who do you think it is then? Santa claws?

Rose &1977 it’s just some doofus who passes a reasonable resemblance to Axl playing a prank. This guy probably got the Axl references all the time, so when this opportunity came it was probably too much to resist. Go watch any Axl Rose interview and you will see. His voice is deep and he talks in a slow measured way.

@@Keplerb-od1lr Ohhh, right. So... just some wannabe actor now is it? Lots of axls in the mix then? . I see. Well in that case I want to meet this doofus. .. Who's the 1993 doofus in the manson t shirt then?? Or the one who played at 89 farm aid? Or, the 1991 doofus in the kilt. 😮Now he's the one I really want to meet. Tell me more since you seem to know alot . Silly arse - how can you think that's not actually him, honestly 🙄

🤣🤣🤣. Exactly. That was so fn weird. Like BACK UP DUDE!!!

I question if this is Axl himself or an Axl Lookalike because the guy being interviewed here just awkwardly backs up when that guy invades his personal space and doesn't hit him like Axl most likely would.

People on here have speculated that this is NOT Axl, but someone who is impersonating him. If they ARE impersonating him, they even got the exact Appetite For Destruction Cross Tattoo he has. That's REAL dedication to go get the SAME Appetite For Destruction Cross arm Tattoo Axl has. 😀

If it is axl something just seems off about his look

@@futureboy40 He had been rumored to have gotten Botox around this time. 😏🤭🤣😉

@@karen-vw1jq for a while I didn't believe it was him

Surgery

Where did you hear about this?

Your comment.. It's been ten years. You'll probably never answer. But if you do care to, Who /what are your sources on this? can you, be willing to share that? I don't not agree with you.. just curious to how you know so much. And your point would make the most sense of all here.

It could be two things. In the interviews in the early years he was talking very quietly which made his voice sound very deep. Also, he had some nodules removed.

I know how deep his voice was. He had some nodules removed apparently.

He tried to look how he did in 1988, but his face is too tight and just doesn't look natural.

lRaziel1 Sort of. Like I said, his cheeks don't have that squarish look, and they just look tight, like he's smiling all the time, but he isn't.

lRaziel1 He looked that way because he was scruffy with short hair and had some weight gained there. :P Plus it doesn't help knowing he's arrested there.

when did he undergo plastic surgery?

+Ricardo Urrusuno never

Dylan Sorensen then more than a million websites arewrong

I figured that he never underwent plastic surgery. I had assumed that all these website are liars that hate Axl.

All you had to do was follow the damn train CJ! If you notice, his eyebrows lightened up to a point where they are barely visible, and his hairline is different. Also, his hair is slicked back behind his ears.
