In 1987, Guns’n’Roses, led by the lithe and limber Axl Rose, became undisputed kings of complex rock music, not just for wearing bike shorts on stage. “Appetite for Destruction” has sold more than 30 million copies worldwide, with “Use Your Illusion” selling another 35 million. Rose was known for causing riots and throwing liquor bottles at fans during live shows back then, in addition to having a powerful voice. However, due to personal differences, the project quickly fell apart. The band went on hiatus for a long time before releasing the album “Chinese Democracy,” which did not perform as well as their label had hoped.

If you don’t work too hard, it’s easy to fall into the habit of eating comfort food. That appears to be what happened to Axl Rose, who has evolved from his youthful body to a more mature one. On Twitter, he extols the virtues of Taco Bell, but isn’t rock and roll all about excess? Doritos Excessively cheesy Gordita Crunches could have cut out a lot of the booze 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 reunited and announced a world tour. You’ve got it, Axl!
