Axl Rose, the legendary and much beloved lead singer of the 80s band Guns N’ Roses, was recently spotted with the members of StandBy at In N Out, an LA-based alt/hard rock, giving the young boys his experience and know-how of the music industry and guiding them through its ups and downs.
StandBy is an up-and-coming three-piece band known for consistently maintaining the classic hard rock sound in a new school style. The band has built a loyal local fanbase in the live venues in LA, California. Fans are happy to see Axl wearing a Death Note t-shirt and also seem surprised to see him have taste and likeness beyond the typical “women, drugs, and music” life of rock stars.
Axl Rose has also shown his interest in anime and video games, and people are happy to find a common interest in the singer. Others are praising him for coming out and supporting young artists and rock musicians, as the genre is not as popular as it used to be. The band showed its gratitude in their Instagram post and also invited their new mentor to their next show.
As Axl takes on this informal yet impactful role, circulating in these mentoring sessions across LA’s music venues, it promotes a culture of learning and collaboration among artists.
His openness to discussing various interests, from anime to video games, further demolishes the old rock star clichés, portraying a more eclectic and thoughtful image that resonates well with both older fans and new listeners.
This connection goes beyond simple nostalgia. It’s about creating a sustainable ecosystem where the lore and allure of rock music continue to thrive through new channels and fresh interpretations.
Some fans also joked that Axl looks like the band member’s dad, and it looks like a father-son reunion. People also appreciated Rose’s fashion aesthetic, from wearing Jordans to cool streetwear. Axl should give more public appearances as it always makes his lovers joyous and excited to see him.
