Axl Rose Then
Guns’n’Roses, fronted by the lithe and limber, controversial-but-not-just-for-wearing-bike-shorts-on-stage Axl Rose, became undisputed kings of complex rock music in 1987. “Appetite for Destruction” has shipped over 30 million copies worldwide, with the follow-up “Use Your Illusion” selling another 35 million. Rose was famous back then for sparking riots and tossing liquor bottles at fans during live shows, in addition to possessing an impressive vocal ability. However, the project quickly disintegrated due to personal disagreements. For a long time, the band went on hiatus before eventually launching the album “Chinese Democracy,” which did not sell as well as their label had hoped.

It’s quick to get into the habit of comfort food if you don’t work too hard. That seems to be what happened to Axl Rose, who has transitioned from his tight-bodied youth to a more mature body form. He extols the virtues of Taco Bell on Twitter, but isn’t rock and roll just about excess? Doritos Cheesy in excess Backstage, Gordita Crunches could have eliminated much of his booze from his glory days. He is, though, on his way out. He took over as frontman for AC/DC on tour in 2016, and Guns’n’Roses recently reunited and planned a world tour. Axl, you’ve got it!
