Axl Rose is back

Guns N Roses is attempting a comeback this year; they've got a new album coming out in the fall. But can anyone take Axl Rose seriously as a rock star again after the massive amount of plastic surgery he's had since their last release?

































Obvious plastic surgery is always a bad thing, but it's particularly embarrassing on a man. Women at least have the societal pressure excuse. Men, this is not the beauty ideal:

I don't think men are as hesitant about cosmetic stuff like they used to be. I think many of us would want to get some of the wrinkles, etc improved on but it probably really boils down to not wanting to spend the money - better to upgrade the boat or get some bonds.

but I have to say by God if he don't look like a bleached Rastafarian, but then I was too old to much get into his music when he first hit the stage

He sort of looks like Sissy Spacek in a way, doesn't he? ha ha

My guess though, is that plastic surgery is more acceptable for lead singers than for most males, especially drummers, lead guitarists, and bass players.

Keith Richard sets the tone there, I should think. No plastic surgeon has ever touched Keith, to be sure. (Although sadly, of course, he's just had brain surgery and I hope that he does well.)
