In 1987, Guns’n’Roses, led by the lithe and limber, controversial-but-not-just-for-wearing-bike-shorts-on-stage Axl Rose, established themselves as unchallenged rulers of complicated rock music. “Appetite for Destruction” has sold over 30 million copies worldwide, with the sequel “Use Your Illusion” selling an additional 35 million. Rose was famous back then for inciting riots and smashing liquor bottles at crowds during live events, in addition to having a powerful voice. However, due to personal disagreements, the project quickly disintegrated. The band remained on sabbatical for a long period before finally releasing the album “Chinese Democracy,” which did not sell as well as their label had intended.

If you don’t work too hard, it’s easy to fall into the habit of eating comfort food. That appears to be what occurred to Axl Rose, who has matured from his youth’s tight-body form to a more mature body type. On Twitter, he extols the benefits of Taco Bell, but isn’t rock & roll all about excess? Doritos Excessively cheesy Gordita Crunches could have cut out a lot of his drinking from his glory days backstage. However, he is on his way out. In 2016, he took over as AC/tour DC’s frontman, and Guns’n’Roses recently reformed and announced a world tour. You’ve got it, Axl!
