[tim_m]

Those are great pics. I wonder what he and Muhammad Ali are talking about.

[FairyLace]

Wow Ax is looking really good. His face really hasnt changed over the years.

[mikegiuliana]

that's cool for a good cause..

[GeraldFord]

Those pics of Axl and Ali are the coolest Axl pics ever, bar none.

Anybody notice the band Axl is playing with...def. not GN'R?  I'm guessing he was playing covers or maybe the band new some of his new secret material?haha

[grog mug]

Or wait..I just found out hes playing with a Beatles Tribute Band..Live and Let Die maybe..even though thats Pauls solo stuff?

From the drumset it says the band is the "Fab Faux"

Their a beatles tribute band so im guessing Axl was singing some Beatles tunes.

This is really cool, Axl is a good person  , thanks for the pics

[dodger girl]

thanks for the pics!!

this is awesome, nice of him to perform for this good cause

and have his pic taken with Michael J. Fox and Ali.. amazing!

[grog mug]

I wonder if Ali could actually carry a conversation with Axl. ?Doesn't he only speak very few words at a time because of this disease? ?Ali's the man..just don't know too much about his current state of mind.

[Dirty Little Thing]

I hope some kind of audio/video of this emerges! 

[WhiteRose]

I really enjoyed reading that... thank you for posting and for the pictures.

Also, it's really nice to see everyone here being so supportive of Axl in this area.? I actually think he'd make an excellent philanthropist and hope to see him continue along this path.? ? ?

Cheers,
W.R.

He can't talk very easily - like you said, very few words at a time, it seems to be an effort, and he's a little difficult to understand. But he's still all in there. A fantastic, amazing guy.

These pictures rule. Absolutely awesome. And way to go, Axl.

  wow axl really becomes nicer when the years grows older

nice pics and hope some footage will leak

axl doing beatles must be awesome

[riotact_vancity]

ya think Ali has the slightest idea who the hell Axl is?

[melissa]

great to see Axl doing things like this.
thanks for the info and all those great pics!

Awesome!!  Huge props to Axl for doing this.  The pics with him and Michael J. Fox are pretty cool.  Parkinson's is a bad fucking disease and needs all the attention it can get.  It has pretty much destroyed a few lives in my family already.  Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if we got some audio of this performance, as benefits are almost always recorded in some form or another.  Again, another great Axl moment.  This and the one earlier this year when he was hanging out with those kids with Cancer, are two moments that earn Axl that much more respect from me.

I'm sure Axl knows a large number of Beatles songs... 'Come Together' comes to mind.

I just hope he didn't scream

'YOU'RE GONNA DIIIIIIE'

because that would be awkward

And why would you think that? Is that because you did? It is amazing the way you guys think. It is amazing how sick your mind is. And, if that suppose to be funny; it was far from been funny.
