Jesus, Οὖτις, that picture! Axl looks like the cover model from Trout Mask Replica.

He should borrow Dave Grohl's throne.

I actually think "Critical Rehab" would be a great title for a G'n'R album.

Mickey Rourke should do something like The Wrestler except where he's Axl.

what are the odds that's it's a real injury? Or is this just axl being axl?

He apparently did borrow the throne. This is some grade A comedy

Axl looks like Mark Hamill now

Pretty appealing show review:

One advantage of the throne is that Axl can't storm off. Those purported costume changes make me wonder, though. Last time I saw Axl's GNR, at a club, he pretty much left the stage between every song, I assumed for a hit from the O2 tank.
I wonder if playing Double Talkin' Jive is out there as Izzy bait? I know he and Axl are still on good terms, but this would feel better with him in the mix. Or basically anyone that undercuts Axl's parallel crew of session chop ringers with a good dose of sloppy personality.

If Izzy is on good terms with A, and assuming he gets along with Saul, maybe he is just ashamed of his own appearance?
― calstars, Sunday, 10 April 2016 00:52 (eight years ago) link
Compared to Axel's appearance?
― dow, Sunday, 10 April 2016 01:14 (eight years ago) link
Izzy played with Axl's GnR off-and-on between 2006 and whenever, but only when he felt like it. Most likely his reasons for not doing this tour are that he hates touring.

Remarkably, Izzy has released 11 solo albums, plus a live album.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 10 April 2016 12:54 (eight years ago) link
It's fairly obvious that Izzy is a guy who does pretty much exactly what he wants, and only exactly when he wants to.
Cue thread for people who have figured out how to live.

Healthiest-looking gnr veteran.

Wow. Good for you, Izzy. Figured out how to live, indeed.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 10 April 2016 15:08 (eight years ago) link
Looks like a slimmer Ronnie O'Sullivan.

has he recorded anything since the juju hounds album? i love that so much

lord help me but I might go to this reunion tour
― Neanderthal, Sunday, 10 April 2016 15:21 (eight years ago) link
xpost I wasn't kidding, he's released 11 solo albums!
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 10 April 2016 15:31 (eight years ago) link
I'd go to a JuJu Hounds reunion.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 10 April 2016 18:59 (eight years ago) link
I wish Izzy had joined the G N' R reunion - maybe then folks would finally admit the Ju Ju Hounds album is no better than any random Ron Wood solo disc.
― the top man in the language department (誤訳侮辱), Sunday, 10 April 2016 19:25 (eight years ago) link
Ju Ju Hounds album has at least two really excellent tracks and a handful of pretty good ones. If I could count on that from a Ron Wood solo disc I'd be delighted.
― Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Monday, 11 April 2016 07:13 (eight years ago) link
Izzy's 117 Degrees, which was his last album on Geffen, is even better than the JuJu Hounds record. There was a time (GN'R pun intented) you could find it for a dollar at any FYE in America.
― DavidLeeRoth, Monday, 11 April 2016 11:56 (eight years ago) link
Not many people bought Izzy's albums, but everyone who did formed a band that sounded a little like the Faces.
