Bio : Born and raised in Lafayette, Indiana, William Axl Rose is the pure embodiment of decadent late eighties rockerdom. Brash, slightly misogynistic and notoriously wild, Axl grew up in a maniacally disfunctional household - molested by his own stepfather at age two. When Axl was seventeen, he fled Indiana on a Greyhound bus destined for Los Angeles (the haven for all that embodies sinnin' and grinnin'). After auditioning for a lion's share of punk bands, (many of which he was turned down for because of his uncanny vocal resemblance to Robert Plant) Axl joined the seminal rock band "L.A. Guns" before ultimately forming "Guns N' Roses". After Guns N' Roses was met with the unprecedented success of their debut album "Appetite For Destruction", massive stadium tours soon became a reality, and Axl's status as a bona fide sex symbol was officially cemented. However, internal troubles with the band members and the heavy drug usage between them eventually rendered Guns N' Roses obsolete until only recently.
