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)

Tbh I would find a party where all the women were stood around discussing how good looking the guys were pretty tedious and embarrassing.

But you’d choose to stick around anyway? Or would you go and find another conversation that interests you?

This thread is like one conversation between one group of people at a party @AnonymityAnonymity - the kind of party where if you wander around for a while you’ll find lots of other groups discussing other things. Just like you’ll find lots of threads discussing other topics on MN.

Axl. Bad boys all the way! 🔥

DrCoconut · 18/07/2026 23:09

My ex had quite a resemblance to Jon Bon Jovi. He knew it too and modeled his appearance on him. The effect was stunning. Pity he turned out to be an AH.

NooNakedJacuzziness · 18/07/2026 23:09

JBJ. Axl was hot but some of his views were very problematic. Listening to his ranting on Get in the Ring always cracks me up tho

I"m not quite sure what you mean.

But yes im busy catching up on MN after a quite busy gardening day.

I just feel the last thing guys who already think they are God's gift to women need is a group of sycophants pandering to their egos by debatung how nice looking they are.

Axl was beautiful back in the day and he had swagger! I had such a crush on him for years. Unfortunately he now looks like my ex mother in law.

Jon was also cute back in the day but I think Axl had the edge (but then I do like a bad boy!)

Bitofashock · 18/07/2026 22:58

Axl then! But now older and looking back at the photos jbj. Axl had a very raw sexy thang going on… plus was a massive fan in the day.

God forbid women should be allowed to have fun.

OP, the answer is Jon Bon Jovi, clearly. Far better looking, much more charismatic on stage and also a much better singing voice. Axl sang like a cat having a fight by a bin.

I agree with this

ladygindiva · 18/07/2026 22:57

Jon bongiovi by about a million miles. Back then and now.

Wheelbarrowracer · 18/07/2026 22:53

Jbj. Hands down. Him, Brad Pitt, Robert redford all have a classically good looking face.

Axl always reminded me of a girl i was at school with.

PurpleFlower1983 · 18/07/2026 22:49

JBJ

OwlBeThere · 18/07/2026 22:47

Additup · 18/07/2026 18:29

I didn't and still don't find either of them remotely attractive but if I really had to choose 1 it would be JBJ simply because AR used to surround himself with groupies/prostitutes/addicts etc which is very unappealing imo.

Ah yes, whilst Jon was sitting at home knitting. 😂😂😂

BettyJoanPerske · 18/07/2026 22:45

oncemoreuntothebeachdearfriends · 18/07/2026 18:58

George Clooney.

Is not even remotely attractive and never has been!

TruJay · 18/07/2026 22:44

Bon Jovi in the video for Always is my dream guy. I love that man haha

BettyJoanPerske · 18/07/2026 22:43

Axl then, Jon now.

SilenceInside · 18/07/2026 22:42

As if fun can’t be silly!

malloryknox123 · 18/07/2026 22:37

I never knew Axl was so pretty

Then why keep coming back to the thread if you think it’s so silly?

I didn't intend to until Bauhaus took.issue with what I had posted earlier. And now again to answer your question.

I seem to be in the minority but Jon is too pretty. Axl any day for me.

Jon was extrmeley hairy though very hairy chest etc
My dh is also very hairy so i dont have a problem with it
Its just when i think of pretty men they tend to be hairless
I do also love Axl tjough i had a video ( how old am.i ) of him running around the stage in his little white shorts on the use your illusion tour
