i dont think so- axl used to rock out at concerts in the early 80s with his hair sweating and all..it would be impossible to cover up a flap surgery the way he performed and with his hair wet. Im pretty sure that when he started wearing bandanas a lot in the early 90s is when he just started to lose it...then came his disappearance which explains the plugs, flap surgery etc and why he was out of the public eye...that also explains the failure of the procedures and why he stayed away for almost a decadedudemon said:I belive most of Axl Rose's botched surgeries were back in the early 80's - before he hit the big time. His Meyer flap was done in early 80's, as well as his plugs. So, he was wearing wigs and concealing his hairloss the whole time - from the beginning of GnR to now.
I was on a "musician's" website a few months ago, and someone posted that they claim to have seen Axl at restraurant in LA having lunch, and he wasn't wearing anything to cover it up - he was bald as a M.th.rf..ker - as in NW7 with scars from his botched surgeries.
Despite all of that, the guy had beautiful young women all over him - just because he's a rockstar.unk:

you can see the video below from '88. Axl may have been receding a little, but it would be impossible to cover up a flap surgery the way he pushes his hair out of his face as well as gets it pulled on when he jumps into the crowd

I know what you're saying, but I'm almost positive that is flap and plugs were done in the early 80's. I can remember back in those days - there was "talk" and rumors going around that Axl was wearing hair pieces during the "Appetite" tour - the first tour.
In fact, I used to roady for bands back then. Some of the guys I knew played in bands that opened for GnR, and I heard a few stories. I don't know how much is true, but from what I heard, his flap and plugs failed because he got an infection from the surgeries while living in a "budget" motel somewhere in LA - during their debut days or before - when they were still playing nightclubs in Hollywood.
This would have had to have been before they made it big.
yea man, hes def one of us who had to deal with added stress of hairloss in the public spotlight and being known for his hair at the same time! man is that hard.dudemon said:
