William Axl Rose: The Rock Star From Indiana
William Axl Rose: The Rock Star From Indiana
William Axl Rose is best known as being the frontman and vocalist of the "most dangerous band in the world," Guns and Roses. Rose stayed on through the turbulent last years of the band, eventually acquiring the rights to the name and setting up a new lineup for Guns and Roses.
Rose is known for his rants during concerts, and for the riots that he caused for deliberately cutting off shows and concerts ahead of time. He was also notorious for several arrests due to alleged possession of drugs and being intoxicated with alcohol. Rose is also currently controversial due to the decade-long delay in the release of his album Chinese Democracy.
Rose hails from Indiana, information on which can be found in http://www.indianahut.com.
Childhood Years
Born William Bruce Rose, Jr. in Lafayette, Indiana, Rose was a product of a broken family. His father, William Rose, abandoned them when he was but two years old. According to Rose, therapy has revealed to him repressed memories of sexual abuse at the hands of his father.
His mother remarried to L. Stephen Bailey, which resulted in Rose carrying his step-father's family name. At the hands of Bailey, Rose witnessed domestic violence inflicted on his mother even though the household was a deeply religious Pentecostal household.
Even though Rose expressed his musical interests through Church, he would later on speak of being disillusioned of his religious upbringing. In an interview, he would claim to "[teaching] Bible school while... being beaten and [his sister] was being molested." Rose also said that his church was full of hyprocrites suffering from self-rightneousness, who abused and molested children.
As a child, Rose and his two siblings sang in church as the "Bailey Trio." He also studied classical piano, on which he would later on write the famous GnR song "November Rain."
Teenage Years
Axl Rose found out about his true family background when he was 17. He learned of his birth name, William Bruce Rose Jr., and his father's name. As a result, Rose readopted his birth name but refused to be called "William," as he did not want to be identified with his biological father.
Teenage years were rebellious times for Axl Rose, with over 20 counts of public drunkenness as well as assault in his record. However, it was also when he was 17 that he first met Izzy Stradlin, the future rhythm guitarist of Guns and Roses. The two bonded for a while, before Stradlin left Indiana and moved to Los Angeles. Rose followed suit later on, as per legal advice.
Guns N' Roses
After arriving in Los Angeles, Rose started playing in several bands, most significant of these being L.A Guns and Hollywood Rose while retaining several jobs. In 1985, Rose and Tracii Guns formed Guns and Roses from the remnants of L.A Guns and Hollywood Rose, along with Ole Beich and Duff McKagan, who would form part of the line-up that the world would later on know.
Several changes in lineup occurred until 1986, when the Guns and Roses that the world knew was formed. Guns and Roses was born with Saul "Slash" Hudson on lead guitar, Izzy Stradlin on rhythm guitar, McKagan on bass, Steven Adler on Drums and, of course, Rose on vocals.
Although they released a four-song EP "Live Like a Suicide" in December 1986, it was not until the release of "Appetite for Destruction" on July 21, 1987 that Guns and Roses would be officially recognized by the mainstream. The success of the debut album continues until this day, being certified 15 times platinum with sales of upwards of 27 million copies.
From 1986 onwards, Guns and Roses released several albums, most notable of which were the two Use Your Illusion albums. It was in the recording of these albums that Steven Adler was kicked out due to drug abuse and replaced by Matt Sorum. It was also during the tour for these albums in 1991 that Axl Rose wrestled ownership of the Guns N' Roses name from the bandmates, from which strained relationships occurred between Rose and the other Gunners.
By 1997, Sorum, Slash and McKagan had left the band. Stradlin had also left the band in 1991. Only Dizzy Reed - who had joined as keyboardist during the recording of the Illusion albums - and Rose remained as original members.
Current Events
After the departure of the original members, Guns and Roses underwent several lineup changes. The band now currently consists of Reed, Rose, Robin Finck, Tommy Stinson, Chris Pitman, Richard Fortus, Frank Ferrer and Ron Thal.
The world also currently awaits the release of Chinese Democracy, the band's first original album since the two Illusion albums, which had been constantly postponed since the late 1990's.

Which actor today looks most like Rock Hudson?
I'm just wondering which actor most closely resembles Rock Hudson that's alive today. I'm talking about back when he was young so if anyone can think of people then I'd appreciate it!
George Clooney did a bit when he was younger.
I think your point is that we would all find it hard, indeed almost impossible, to find a Hollywood actor today who looks a lot like Rock.
Back in the 50's it was the look with Cary Grant, Tony Cutis, etc having the suave hunky look, but times change.
