Title: Need Help/Advice for my Axl Halloween Costume...
Post by: Amari2677 on September 04, 2006, 01:49:40 AM
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!

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!  ;D

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.  : ok:  :hihi:

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
