How did axl change his body?

[Janies Got A Gun]

hahahaha, you guys are sooooo stupid.  NO steroids there guys, I've used steroids, several times......still do a cycle every 18 months or so when the desire hits me, I just do it to look good.....I'm very into fitness, and sometimes you just feel like being rewarded for all the workouts. 

Anyway.....takes a user to know a user.....I promise you....in that pic at least, Axl is NOT on steroids.

Pretty sure he wouldn't touch them anyway....they could change his voice....I'm pretty sure he's pretty hip on keeping it the way it is for as long as possible.

so you rekon he was jsut fat in that pic?

so you rekon he was jsut fat in that pic?

FAT/BLOATED yeah....best as i can tell.

[alix-rose]

was he that bad too???

he was just a little fat during his time in guns, but he's really fit now.

and he was a heavy drinker and a heavy coke-nose, he wasn't better then duff at all.

Really?
What do you think would have been Axls attraction to taking steroids do you think? Would it be for energy onstage? Like he had been away for so long he woulda need a helping hand to kick start again is it?

I was on steroids before when I was ill and that was the only reason. My body was very much bloated and thats why I could see it in Axl. I have no experience or knowledge of recreational steroids so thats why im asking you.

I guess axl might have been on them for medical reasons though?

well i don't have experience on steroids either but u can see it really is. Otherwise u wouldn't see the 6 pack. Cause it would transform in fat quicker.

When ur on steroids even though u can get fat ur body is still absorving food to create muscle and with the quantity of testosterone ur body is producing ( cause of the steroids ) so the muscles are kinda building at the same time ur growing fat.

And also... Slash said Axl had a small dick on his book... so that might be the explanation 

[AxlRoseCalifornia]

well he was probably on steroids to have a good looking body, since he was going to be half naked onstage... and maybe for energy purposes too who knows.... but i rarely fail on bodys... and i definitely think he was on steroids...
Don't forget he put botox in his face.. if he's crazy enough to do that, then... it wouldn't be so crazy to get on steroids... 

And don't forget he had shows night in night out... that must be desvasting
thats why this guys get on drugs, alcohol and in this case steroids

Axl for the most part stayed away from drugs. 
But it's rumored that during his 'exile' he just spent nights working out a shitload

What does rise to the challenge mean to you? Do you do it? And if you docan you do it with 100,000 people watching you? I couldn't. I crashed. I had only about 100 people watching me. What happens the next time around when you get to respect your body again in front of that many people. You become so damn strong that noone can phase you. You are arrogant. Noone can break you and noone ever will. What I'd really like, reallly really like, is to hear the difference in the way he talks now and the way he talked then. It's a private thing and i'm sure i never will get to see that sweet spot in him. I know that part of me is not something i give a shit about talking to people with who don't respect me. But those who do i inspire and they RISE. That's what axl doing FOR you in front of 100,000 people who judge him critically that will NEVER have to face that kind of pressure.

Yeah they say hes one of the most healthy "rockstars" now. Hes erased a lot of damage that the early years did, not many people can say that

[Estranged9]

i definitely agree with you.
I used to practice wrestling and im almost 100% sure he was on steroids.

U can see in the picture he still has the abs and the muscles form in the waist even though u can see his fat.

When you're on steroids you always keep then muscle forms in your body unless you get really really really fat... like queen latifah's fat 

If he wasn't on steroids you wouldn't see his body forms like he has on that pic. u would see a belly and his waist forms wouldn't be showing. U would see fat on those spots

+1 agreed 100%
I thought this for a while now, and I have a friend that's into bodybuilding and he said it looked like he was Bloated  like
he was taking something like DBall ( Dianobol) which puts on size quick but can also bloat ya if you drink on it. 

I guess Axl really tried to transform his image in them days.   But if you look at the HOB show in 01 axl is ripped up and looks a lot more cut and tone from 93 days

[badfaulkner]

In 01 at the Rock in Rio concert, it looked like he binged on kfc

LOL.  Not true. 

Just because he's not a pencil-neck anymore, everybody's all, "Oh, Axl's fat."
