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.

Coralsunset · 18/07/2026 18:29

Jon Bon Jovi

I could be wrong, but i dont think either of them frequent MN, so they probably won't see it.

I agree i think its highly unlikrly that either Axl Rose or JBJ will be on mumsnet 😂

You seem not to be too busy, posting on mumsnet like the rest of us. 😂

Quite

Jon = better looking.

Axl =good looking as well though.

They did look very similar in the 1980s/1990s.

I'd marry Jon and shag Axl! Smile

Jon has aged a bit better, but does look a bit like Jim Davidson now! 😬

Jon has WAY better face structure and is more beefy and less pasty. 💯 better looking! G&R songs were better though.

ToadRage · 18/07/2026 18:36

Axel never did it for me, Jon had the pretty boy thing going on so though it's not my type i can see why others would. I prefer a more rugged, Alpha male look.

RhannionKPSS · 18/07/2026 18:37

Bon Jovi, Axel looks like he needed a wash , and I bet he smelt bad too

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.

I agree with the others, the irony in your posts is hilarious. Acting like you're better than us who are critiquing 2 handsome rock stars, and 'wasting our life' on here, and yet here you are........ Posting on Mumsnet. Grin

WillTheRealDeanGaffneyPleaseStandUp · 18/07/2026 18:39

I didnt like either at the time or now but it was definately Jon (and still is).

Sunshineandgrapefruit · 18/07/2026 18:41

Definitely JBJ but Axel had the sexiest voice!

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 18/07/2026 18:41

Pixiedust49 · 18/07/2026 18:09

Jon was better looking, Axel was sexier.

Yep, this nails it

PrettyLittleRose · 18/07/2026 18:42

The general consensus is Jon is the better looking, and I agree he is better looking, but also, I think he's known to be a really nice guy. (Not saying Axl is not, but Jon is known to be a lovely guy.)

You told us to get a life. How does saying whether we prefer the look of JBJ or Axl Rose mean we haven’t got a life? Music has been part of my life and I have found JBJ attractive since I was about 13. I went to see Bon Jovi in concert for the first time at 14…..as part of having a life. 😉

I would also highly doubt that either of them are reading mumsnet, but would find it very funny if they were. Just in case, hi Jon and Axl. 🤣

mondaytosunday · 18/07/2026 18:45

Always had a soft spot for Axel but I think he was a an abuser according to his ex wife and Stephanie Seymour. Bon Jovi’s always has a good rep (well, he did indulge in the usual rock and roll lifestyle).

For heaven's sake get a life.

OP says settle an argument. I assume she's got into one of those daft discussions with a friend or sibling and decided to throw the question open. It's just a bit of fun. Have you heard of fun? Silliness? Lightheartedness?
Any of this familiar?
I'd have made it a poll
Bet Jon would win 95% to 5%
He was extremely handsome back in the day.

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

Wishingplenty · 18/07/2026 18:47

Jon is classicly handsome and Axel was very sexy at the time. Jon was/is the more stable and reliable of the two, which also makes him far more appealing.

Dweetfidilove · 18/07/2026 18:52

I'll pass on both.

JonBonJ · 18/07/2026 18:54

Hi all. Jon here. Yeah, me and Ax are always on Mumsnet. Of course.

I'm always on the religious threads about praying.
Axl is obviously on the gardening threads 😂 😂. Maybe AnonymityAnonymity could give him some advice on his roses 🌹
