I love how all of the great songs that he sang had such a powerful message. I remember listening to all of his albums growing up and now that I am older when I hear a Guns N Roses song I can`t help put crank it up! For his songs to be so powerful, I think he is a great person that very few probably ever see (the true side).

Axl Rose has amazing voice and hot hot hot. He is famous in the Philippines. In the city where I used to live everybody knows him because everybody loves his songs. My father is a huge fan of Axl but he is jealous because my Mom worship this hot vocalist. I listen to his song and watch his music videos everyday since I came in Korea... but he`s old for me, maybe for my Mom...

Quotes
