Omg I just realised who Axl resembled in that first photograph OP posted. Carey Mulligan!

Best looking: JBJ

Sex appeal: Axl Rose

Between Axl and Jon it's Jon, hands down.
Between Slash and Jon, Slash might just have the edge.
Between Slash and Tico... ooh that's a tough one.

You do realise this discussion isn’t for their benefit, surely? This thread is for our enjoyment, not theirs.

Are straight women not allowed to enjoy looking at / thinking about men we find sexually attractive? Why do we have to deny ourselves that pleasure?

I’m glad you enjoy gardening but it doesn’t make you morally or intellectually superior to someone who enjoys whiling away five minutes on looking at attractive men with no shirts on. If you don’t get any pleasure from physically attractive men, that’s completely fine, but no need to try to guilt-trip other women about it. We’re allowed to experience attraction. It’s a normal human impulse.

I also did some gardening yesterday. Then I went for a run. Then I relaxed with a book. Then I whiled away a happy few minutes reminiscing with a friend via WhatsApp before the football about a French footballer we both fancied the pants off in the 90s. It was a pleasant interlude in my day.

Bon Jovi

Axel was sexy in a “clearly very fucked up” way

I find him more attractive now than when he was younger

Yes, James Hetfield has got more attractive with age.

Bon Jovi is the name of the band.
Jon Bongiovi was the most delicious man on the planet. Still hot 🔥

His real name is Jon Bongiovi, but his stage name is ‘Jon Bon Jovi’.

AliceNotInChains · 19/07/2026 19:08

Anyone remember Bon Jovi the cat?

Admittedly a left-field choice but even to this day I would sell a kidney for a night with Eugene Hutz from Gogol Bordello

Well yes actually.
I love hydrangeas.
I met a woman last week who doesn't actually like hydrangeas and was shocked. What is not to like? I know my sister in law doesn't like them but I thought was just her being her.

Well, good for you, but personally I’d find a hydrangea a tough wank.

For heaven's sake get a life.

How dare you? This is an important question.

OP job bon Jovi is objectively more handsome but I fancied the absolute hole off Axel Rose

IcedPurple · 19/07/2026 17:08

Ahh! Dah-veed! He was so very chaud and boy did he know it!

He had a thing for going around sans chemise and I don't recall a single person woman complaining.

Show quote history

Just insanely hot and tremendously charming. And he was also an INCREDIBLE footballer, one of the most naturally talented players I’ve ever seen, certainly when I’ve actually been there at the game.

x2boys · 18/07/2026 18:47

I think hes been with his wife f.since high school?

Show quote history

He has, but I’m pretty sure he has also admitted that the reason their marriage endured was partly because she tolerated him having one night stands on tour when he was younger.

InterIgnis · 19/07/2026 17:11

Axl Rose. His face, prior to the plastic surgery, was classically beautiful.

Joe Elliot appeared to have a huge Willy. In one of their videos you really can’t focus on anything else!

The stupid faux American accents irritated me with DL

Duff McKagan was the best looking member of GnR. I think there needs to be a return to men looking like this! (said in lighthearted fun before anyone jumps on me)

Duff was a god!! Him and his wife are my fave celeb couple!

nomas · 19/07/2026 13:40

Neither . Both make me think of

Jon Bon Jovi, but he was a distant second to Joe Elliott from Def Leppard.
