It's better to burn out than to fade away...


« on: April 15, 2004, 10:56:36 PM »

Axl has been working on Chinese Democracy for years now, obsessed with perfecting his artistic vision through a revolving door lineup of band members and assorted hangers-on.  It's become his white whale.  However, I sometimes wonder what Axl's personal life is like now.  A dozen years ago, while fronting the biggest rock band in the world, he was dating a supermodel.  But I don't think Axl has had a real relationship forever.  I wonder...is he a lonely man?  Does he still date, or have any interest in a relationship with a woman at all?

I remember reading in some article about Axl from 1999 that around that time he often had guests over at his mansion.  Once (I think it was Halloween), he even dressed in an animal costume to entertain the kids of some of his guests.  Axl in an animal costume!  He's over 40 now.  Do you think he's ever wanted to have a kid?  I've never heard him mention it in any interview, but it makes you think.

In the old days, had he been lonely, Axl could rest on the support of his friends and bandmates.  But now it seems that the two categories are not the same.  After all, besides making all efforts to avoid his old bandmates, during the 2002 tour, he would travel separately from the band, hardly ever seeing them except onstage and maybe in the studio.  There's certainly not much of a "group" ethos anymore.

We all know Axl is reclusive, but I sometimes wonder about his ways as a loner.  After all this time, is he starting to feel like he's really alone in the world?  I mean, I'm not Dr. Phil or anything, but all this reclusiveness and isolation must be affecting him somehow.

I read in an interview years ago...that someone said (I'm pretty sure this person was close to Axl) that Axl wanted to have a family more than anything in the world.....Including music, but that he was also scared about what kind of parent he would be...or something like that.  I'm paraphrasing obviously.

in the famous last words interview he did with loder in 90 - loder asked him what he would do if his son/daughter brought home a cd with bad language on it -- if he thought then that cds should carry explicit lyrics stickers on them?  axl said no, even if he did something because he thought the song told him to, he wouldn't feel differently. then he added "and i've thought about it a lot". so yeah i think he wants kids. i think he's probably scared of becoming his own father and having his child suffer the way he did. i think he realizes now what kind of effect he has on people he's close to and is scared to get close and scared to hurt them. i dont know tho. no one does. but if you want to speculate, i'm sure we all have our own theories.

I remember an interview with someone who did some producing with CD, and he was talking about how Axl would make sure his kids were looked after, order and eat pizza with em..

And yeah from the sounds of things he did travel alone to and from the gigs..

Maybe he is just happier with his own company.

Maybe he would love a family.. who knows.. not me.. only Axl!

As odd as it sounds, some people benefit from a world of seclusion. I know I do.

Yeah, I'm a bit of a loner myself too.  Sometimes I just feel more comfortable alone.  But I wouldn't want to spend my whole life alone without somebody that meant a lot to me in my life.

Maybe Axl explained it all in "November Rain":
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way

 Cry
I hope he'sn't unhappy. But, if he's unhappy, because of his possible lonelyness, it isn't too late to fix it, is it?

It was Beta that had an interview in Brazil saying that Axl wants kids more than anything and that he wants cry when he thinks about having kids!  She says he is very affectinate and gentle not like the Axl the media creates.

Do you think it is possible she is his woman? Maybe in some weird way they fell in love?  Maybe the supermodel thing is just so fake? Just a speculation, I often wonder why there is no woman in the picture.
There is probably only a 12 year difference in age.

Scary thought but you never know. Undecided

As soon as i read the article i thought this.  She was being interviewed and her phone rang it was Axl asking for a recipe for some brazillian food. She says she can't be away for a minute without him calling her.

Those pictures of them shopping?  I think that was her? (Beta) Who goes shopping with their housekeeper - rock star at least- looks like clothes shopping not food shopping.

I think she also says she gives her opinion on his wardrobe as well? Sounds like a wife to me!!!!

Or a mother of a little boy!

i don't feel as though he is lonely at all.in fact ive herd he had been dating from time to time.maybe his dates are more then we think.being as he takes them home to his house.instead of going out somewere's.in fact ive even herd he had a girlfriend too.awhile back then i herd he was dating a much younger woman then him.he was seen kissing her on a date.some time ago.
he seems like he doesn't want the media knowing to much personal stuff.and i don't blame him either.

now think of this.erin was preganant and lost her child ok.and was known for having a brief affair with steven adler.not knowing how close these two things happened.maybe axl wasn't sure who the father was.then after yrs of that.stephannie was with him for about two yrs.not haveing his child him wanting one with her.then leaving him and getting pregnant with another man's baby.hurting him real bad.i mean axl has been through the mill with this and getting hurt.so i think he is very careful now with this child thing.cause he got hurt in the past.but he does want kids im sure.
imagine the pain he went through.

Thats gossip at best. Don't trust everything you hear on the net.....

Maybe Axl is a bit lonely but he has fame and money - it shouldn't be too difficult to find someone Wink

The story is Steven gave her a 'speedball' - (cocaine and heroin mix i think)

If anything else had happened i'm sure it would have emerged by now - hell we seem to know every other little detail that went on back with the old band.....
