Axl was born (Feb 6th, 1962) in Lafayette, Indiana amd grew up there. He had a very troubled childhood and suffered sever sexual and mental abuse at the hands of his step-father, Stephen Bailey. It wasn't untill he was 17 he found out of the existence of his actual biological father and changed his name from "William Bailey" (his step fathers name) to his birth right name, William Rose. Throughout his youth, Axl was in trouble numerous times with the police and was arrested over twenty times on charges such as Public Drunkenness and Assault. In his late teenage years Lafayette authorities attempted to have him locked up as a Habitual Criminal and on the advice of his lawyer, he left Indiana with a close childhood friend, Izzy Stradlin and headed to Los Angeles in the early 1980s to pursue a rock music career.

I like Velvet Revolver. Sure they aren't Guns N Roses of course, but they are a good band in their own right, IMO

Thing is, I think it was on twice, once was early, and one was on later, as my one there is very little bad language in it (cut out) and my mates one that he recorded has a lot more swearing and is about 10mins longer in total! His one also has Axl jumping up and down on a piano as it rises onto the stage before they play November Rain!

Ginge, I wouldn't really class myself as a "messed up kid" but I did all my own piercings myself including 5 in my ears (only wear three now) one in my nose (don't wear that anymore either) and BOTH nipples (which went fooking manky and had to take the rings out for medial reasons
) and I was half way through my TOUNGE when I passed out
Oh and everyone else in this thread - please! It is
AXL Rose!!!
Not AXEL as found on your car!!!
