Need Help/Advice for my Axl Halloween Costume...

[Amari2677]

I plan on going as Axl circa 1991-1992.  Does anyone have any idea where I can find a good Axl Rose wig from that era?  I have short black hair, so growing mine out isn't an option.  My buddy is going as Slash and we found the wig/top hat for that, but I am having a hard time finding a good Axl wig.  Any and all help is appreciated!

[EFISH]

Hmm.. maybe just search like wigs.com (just made that up) like any online wigs place, and find the closest one.

Kind of off topic, but im going as Buckethead!

what, too hard to find Red cornrow wigs?   

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Besides the wig, how do you plan on dressing up as Axl?

[F*ck Fear]

what, too hard to find Red cornrow wigs?? ?

I'd imagine so.

If you can find a good Axl Rose circa 91 wig, you should buy it and then send it to Axl.

[LordRazZ]

for a wig, buy online (wigs.com is actually a real site....just checked)

For outfit?

Either be comfortable with spandex shorts, or get a kilt, and a Charlie Don't Surf Tee...

Grab some Converse one stars. Can get most at a thrift shop.

I did it last year for under 30 bucks

[F*ck Fear]

I'm too old for Halloween

At least I laughed

Go to www.Guns2roses.co.uk and email the band to see where the lead singer got his wig, its the one your after.

Guns 2 Roses are a Cover band in the UK

Dude just get a long redhead wig. Pretty simple eh! Don't worry about whether its shown as a female wig or a male wig. Its a long redhead wig, and that's what you need. Just make sure its straight.

Look at the last one on this page here, its expensive but it looks good quality...

Thanks for all your help people!  I plan on wearing the spandex shorts, my "Kill Your Idols" t-shirt, my red flannel around my waist, and the wig/bandana on my head.  I am going to have my gf paint my arms with the Axl tatoos.  We are going to this giant Halloween party which should be a blast.

Sounds cool dude! Man I wish we celebrated Halloween properly here in the UK...

why post something like this?

[Buddha_Master]

Going to have to ask you guys for something. If you dig Axl and are a real fan...please DO NOT dress as Axl for Halloween...

...if you are fat.

[kaasupoltin]

Hey man you gotta take a picture of yourself and post it here when the costume's ready

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

That one guy at Hammerstein had it pretty much down.   

[JuicySwoos]

I got my wig on ebay. Kilt as well, and I bought the catchers vest at a sporting goods store.

[nonlinear]

yea dude you gotta post a pic of this!

also, for anyone else who has dressed up as a band member, please post your pics as well.

i remember dressing as slash once in grade 5 (like 1989 or so?), and I was wearing cowboy boots and it was in minnesota and it snowed like 3 feet (insane snow) and i was slipping and sliding all around and falling and got frostbite on my toes    i'll have to dig up pics when i go home in december.

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

I am 29 fucko and I am going to a huge costume party that will be full of hot chicks that have an excuse to dress like whores for one night.  Last year, some dude was dressed as Slash and looked pretty cool.  Also, I've seen threads started for more inconsequential reasons you illiterate cum stain. 

[Amari2677]

HAHAHA... I am rather muscular nowadays so I am doing Axl a favor.  I'm 6'0, about 200 pounds, so I will represent the man well!

[Amari2677]

Will do for sure.

 I felt the same thing,

as if this person couldn't simply use ebay, or google

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

If I get invited to a Halloween party, you bet your ass I'll be dressing like Axl.  Kilts turn women on for some reason, I won't question it I'll just go along with it.

But what if you're going as Axl circa 2002?

Thanks Bro

And I'll be dressed the same way for Holloween this year, also with a "Slash"

Buy everything off ebay, thats what i did, biggest selections, best prices

I got the Wig, bandanna, Aviator sunglasses, Cheap 80's leather jacket, and Kilt

Whers the party man, I'll be in Grenwich Village NYC in the parade and then off to party at "Snitch" Just like I did last year, Hopefully this time with an Izzy, duff, & Steven/Matt

Hey man,
    I saw you at the Hammerstein... you told me that some chick was Lindsay Lohan (well, at least she looked like her).  Awesome costume.

Totally unnesacary dude. Really its a fucking guns n roses message board the dude is going out as axl, hes asking for advice, so just shut up and dont respond if youre not interested.

Anyway I went out as axl '02 era one year, and i was at a store and they had this bandana/dreads combo that i swear mustve been meant for a new axl costume. With the wig i wore a football jersey and some black running pants, my Buckethead outfit was cooler though. lol
