This is what he gets for being a recluse.
But holy fuck he has put on shit tonne of weight.
What a disgrace.

I bet he’s as bald as a coot too and that’s the worst Scottish ’see-you-Jimmy’ hat & wig ever! No wonder Slash turns down millions to appear with him!

When did Meatloaf join Guns N Roses?

“welcome to the pie shop we got stake and kidney we got anything you want we got veal and boar we got a chunk of what you see youl take it eventually you can have anything you want but you won’t take it for free in the pie shop welcome to the pie shop where we make your chin drop slob-op-op-op-op-ery he”

Has Rufus Hound joind guns n roses? lol

Dont you Diiiieeetttt tonight, theres some angel delight for you baby! Dont you Diiieeettt tonight!
Get your ego filled head out of your fat arse and make up with the original G,N,R lineup Rosey!

What’s the issue here? In 1987, he was 24, of course he was skinny. He’s almost 50, what did you expect?

And by the way, Metal Hammer, why post this now??Guns n’ Roses played gigs in Asia a month ago. Did you not know that???

Chinese Democracy rocks. (I know cos I’ve listened to it…)

He wants to live up to his true namesake: Bill Bailey. Looks like he ate detroit again.

Poor old Axl, he looks like a fat middle aged ginger winger wearing a pirates outfit.

Are we sure this is real?
It just doesnt’ seem possible…why would he even come out like that?

Oh it’s real alright…I found this link and pictures last night to show someone else!

he shouldnt be aloud tour anymore.. hes just toooo shit

GN’R LIES to b re-issued and repackaged as GN’R PIES!!!

2 words- HOLY SHIT, i cant even recognise him, its like hes about to explode from being so fat

Since when did it matter?

There are tons of overweight musicans. Are you going to make a headline out of each of those?

I don’t think so

You picked the worsed photos just to make fun of the guy. Im surprised you still work for Metal Hammer. You should go work for perezhilton or just give up..

This has to be fake… right?

axl just needs a good scottish accent to be the real life fat bastard

Don’t you think he looks like a perfect mixture between simply red and one of those fat dwalves off lord of the rings!!!

I didn’t realise Metal Hammer was a waspy, piece of shit tabloid.

Just be glad he’s not still rocking the bicycle shorts.

WOW!!!! What happened??? Now I know where he was the whole time his album was waiting on shelves for a big tour to support it!!! Damn Axl this is not how GNR are suppose to go out!!!! Get your shit together!!!

oh come on, everone puts on weight in the bb house.

I agree with you john. the writer should work for perezhitlon.

lol who at all the piesss!

This is BEYOND sad.

Yoouuuuu couuuld bve miiiiiiine but yoooour sittting on my faaaace!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol

if that really is axl then how did this happen?????

never knew Leigh Francis could rock.. haha

someone ate A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT of turkey over christmas

how do ya fatten a tattoo up, any ideas

oh. my. god.

I thought Dom Delouis was dead!

yes. he looks exactly like keith lemon. thats the 1st thing I thought of. Im glad someone else noticed

Take a look at yourselves before throwing stones at Axl. Who cares if he is fat and ugly – we are in for the music – not the looks. Respect his work in GnR and show some support now as well.
If not – then why talk shite? Just don´t say anything.

Looks like the size of his stomach has finally caught up with the size of his ego.

He’s really not that fat. He just looks COMPLETELY different.

Sign-up for the new Slash Diet at slashdiet.com, Axl did!!!

……holy hell

Right next door to Taco Bell, Live n Let Fry! Deffo the Wyndorf Syndrome there

i never knew avid merrion was the lead singer of guns n roses XD

holy s**t i seriously cannot believe that this is axl rose

OOooooooooooo sweet munchies of mine!!!

Jesus fooking Christ…who reanimated Chris Farley?

@gzr ok fair enuf, the previous axl was great when it came to music
this current axl, music wise, sucks ass the new gnr suck and hes just in it for the money. nobody takes that long to make one album, and to make it worse it was crap

He’s gone from Get in the Ring to Getting in the Ring Doughnuts!

He’s gone from Get in the Ring to Getting in the Ring Doughnuts!

Aagh, sorry for the double (and now triple) post!

he’s off the coke

Yeah, he needs to eat more healthy food. But I don’t care I love my Axl Rose.

Way to go Metal Hammer for picking some bad shots of Axl and making it ‘news’

Check out some other pics from the same gig

http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs200.snc3/20766_247087234335_704814335_3037600_2711370_n.jpg

Sure he’s put on a bit of weight, but c’mon the guys almost 50!

So what’s the big deal?

Many musicians put on weight.

Think Jim Morrison and Elvis? They were still amazing musicians. But Axl on the other is a great singer but a complete..

Fuck man, that’s quite sad to see, a real slow and painful fall from grace.

when did metal hammer turn into OK or NOW? so fucking what if hes fat, as long as hes still rockin’ i dont see the fucking problem.

fuck me man!, he looks like a dude in a shit gnr tribute act now thats what i call karma lol

It’s over for him and guns-n-roses.He can’t sing anymore He lost his balls a long time ago.

Sam Kinison…w/Farrah Fawcett hair in the first pic.

He didn’t gain much weight…. They just chose the worst photos… here: http://www.rollingstone.com/photos/gallery/31783299/guns_n_roses_bring_chinese_democ/photo/2

He looks fine people

has rufus hound joined guns and roses.

For this kind of news, is why I stopped coming so frequently to this page… You lost all respect to the classic rock/metal groups.
Yes, Axl is now fat… but he is starting a tour with shows of around 3h and some of them even more!!! So apparently he is not in bad shape. He’s singing awesome and the band sounds good. Yeah is not the old-line up that we all want to see, but is pretty decent… I want to see another news like like this about Chuck Billy or other people that are different in their 40s than in their 20s…

OMG! I’m not sure if this is Axl.

fuck me man he looks awful now he really does look like meat loaf

turning into the mick hucknall of metal.

Appertite for Liposuction comes to mind or he’s been having too many Spaghetti Incidents.

Oh my god! he looks like a comedian to me I think only way for him to lose so much weight is to go on drugs… He just continues to disgrace GnR…

he looks like a metalocalypse character!

Surely this isnt real? How cnan skinny runt like Axl put on weight that fast?

O.o without words…..

Sometimes people gain weight because of a health issue. You never know, so its best not to assume anything. His current lineup is the best so far since the early days & his voice sounds great.

You pathetic bunch of whores. He looks fine for 47 and he sounds better than ever. I’ll take a bet on my right ball that none of you are as fit as he was back in 1988 and you never will be not to mention how pathetic your singing abilites must be, so shut the fuck up

Middle-aged man gains weight. So what?

WTFFFFFFFFFFFF?

Wow..

Just wow.

Is this a joke? Seeing as usually Hammer isnt exactly the most serious writing magazine… how can someone so thin as him put on so much weight in such a short amount of time? He didn’t look like that like a month ago when that video of him attacking someone in an airport came out…

LMAO at Jingee!

By seeing these pictures, I have totally lost faith in Axl Rose.

You lot will be laughing on the other side of your collective faces if we learn later that he’s got like it through something like metabolic illness or steroid therapy….

But lets just continue to feed the public perception that we metalheads are retarded immature twats, eh? Much easier/ “funnier” that way.

Not entirely convinced it’s even real myself, either.

look at that; Jack Black’s fronting GN’R XD

You’re overlooking the small factors of him still being able to sing, the Asia tour being a huge success, DJ Ashba bringing back the blues to Guns N’ Roses and Slash sucking absolute arse.

gooshh, i cant believe that

but Axl Rose is a dick now

RIP old Axl rose

He looks like a cross between Kieth Lemon and James Hetfield from the black album tour 92… lmao

I think he looks boss XD

” If i dont see yah through the week, ill see yah though the window ”

XD

Come on, are u kidding me ??
Get real, i cant believe my eyes. wtf happened to him.

Lol midlife crisissss quiet strange seeing him look like that but ah oh well

He looks like james hetfield and that is the worst that can happen to any man.

But I liked the new album, though I skip over some songs, just as we do with UYI 1&2.

Slash is still cool. But a solo is great only if there is a deserving song. Slash has not had one going his way since he left GNR. Though he could have elevated many songs from Chinese Democracy.

Essentially Axl and Slash retired …

Well … It is altogether sad. The whole story.

Now, Dave Mustaine is talking about retirement.

Whens that due?

THIS PIEEEE COULD BE MIIIIINE!!!!!
SWEET PIE O’ MINE
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCKING ON Mc DONALDS DOOR
PRETTY PIED UP

i don’t see anything beatin these for funniest pics of the year XD

are you sure that aint that iceland bird with a stick on beard lmfao

Hes now Ginger and fat?!! there is no hope for this man

People in the front row. GET IN MAH BELLEH.

“Do you know where you are? You’re in the buffet line, baby. Time to eattttttttttttttt”

“Hey it’s Vince Neil’s younger brother Chester Neil”

I thought those were screenshots from Weird Al’s “Fat” video.

Appetite for anything

i thought this was metal hammer, not some stupid celebrity gossip bullshit where people care about weight and deits. who cares?

HAHAHAha looks like chris farley with handlebars

Since when do metal guys have to be hot, And you know what fuck all you guys bashing on axel’s thickness, So what he got all fat , Big fuckin deal.

I wonder how many of the people commenting on him, Are themselves over weight or have an equally unattractive atribute about themself, Point and laugh, the fucking mob is so pathetic . Whatever it takes to get the smallest shred of your own self worth up even just alittle bit. First you love em them you hate em, and when they arent good for that you fucking nail em up like JC.

Im so glad Im a girl with a dick. Cuz people can fuckin suck it.

Glad to see he’s recovered from his anorexia?

And he’s still a prick?

You know, I have not really been a huge fan of this band. I like a couple songs/etc, but here’s the deal.

Who cares what he looks like? If its his good looks/skinny body you are after, you’re missing the point.

If he can still sing, that’s all thats important.

I’m the first to admit I’m not all that but come on. Axl makes me look like Kate Moss now. Even if you have thyroid problems(and I do), you don’t gain that much weight unless you’ve been eating enough for 3 people and not burning it off.

wtf are you all idoits?!?!!?! its not even him go to google images and type in axl rose 2010 its a completly differnet person ..wow everyone here is retarded

guys this might not even b axl sum fuckers just probz taken a pic n edited it or sumit
i mean come on so fuck if it is axl
its axl rose dudes y do ppl care? hes still the singer of gnr still the grt performer

“i still love ya axl”
i wish ppl wudnt b so mean
just leave the dude alone yh!!!!!!

Jesus Christ!!!

He looked in such great shape back on the ‘06 tour!!!

Look for yourself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6BcXRhUtRY

You’re all so idiots! Look at some other picture and shut the fuck up you stupid Metalfuckheads. What a stupid magazine, very awkward!! Axl Rose is fuckin’ back to kick all your rotting ass!

Hell to it guys, if your not gonna read the article properly don’t bother commenting.

I know I would’ve loved to look like he did back in the day, but it’s not the same day anymore – get over it.

Doesn’t make Chinese Democracy worth the wait though

Wow n here’s me thinkin it was all about the music. Does it relly matter if the guy puts on a few fuckin pounds, he’s human it happens get over it. The guy’s near 50 for Christs sake give him a break he aint some scrawmy assed 20 year old any more n why n why should he feel he needs to be seen that way. Everyone has shitty pictures of themselves taken at the wrong angle so you look like John Prescot/Jo Brands fatter uglier brother/sister (delete as appropriate) wonder what the average poster on here will look like at his age.

He really isnt as bad as Metal Hammer has made him out to be! LOOK!

http://www.rollingstone.com/photos/gallery/31783299/guns_n_roses_bring_chinese_democ/photo/1

I think Axl’s A Legend!

Plus I agree with everyone saying “So what if he’s put on weight!” Its about the music, come on! I liked “Chinese Democracy” Metal Hammer stop being such a tabloid site! we want NEWS not whos put on most weight, Next thing ya know you’ll be asking Kirk Hammett how he keeps himself looking so young!!! ITS ABOUT THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!

Is he competing with Vince Neil, who can be the biggest porker around here…

Fuck off Metal Hammer. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Axl hasnt put on that much weight. Look at the tour videos on youtube. You picked the worst possible photos to pursue your agenda of slagging him off at every opportunity. Its pathetic. The man is 47 years of age and runs around stage for 3 hours every night. By all accounts the performances on this tour have been amazing. So what if its not the original band. Move the fuck on. Axl is one on the greatest frontmen of all time and has achieved more in his lifetime than any of you pathetic fucks ever will.

surely it’s the music that counts…
