Axl Rose's corn rows: Real or Fake?

Sign in to disble this ad
I saw this pic on the BBC the other day, in an article announcing the imminent release of Chinese Democracy. They look fake to me - is Axl bald?

Was there not something in the news a few years back about him having a botched hair transplant? Or was that slash?

Axl Rose: He pissed of the other members of Guns 'N Roses, and then takes 14 years to release and album and comes out with terrible hair while the rest of them are rocking out hard.

Normally when someone has dreds, braids, whatever in their hair you can see the hair being pulled into the braids. If you look at the front of his head the braid comes right out of his forehead, which makes it look like they glued to his head.

Fake...and terrible.

Considering Axl's n-word-laden onstage rant some years ago, I'm surprised he opted for a hairstyle that has such African-American roots.

Is he headed for another train wreck?

I think his entire career has been one, long, sustained train wreck in slow-motion...

With pop-upo bubbles explaining the physics of the wreck... In IMAX 3D...
