About this jacket.....
I remember reading somewhere, if I remember correctly, an ex-girlfriend of Izzy's or a friend of the band from that time said that the jacket was Izzy's, the jacket was black, well Izzy spray painted it pink, I don't remember if she said why she did this, but that's what I remember, if anyone knows the story or where I can find the story of this, please tell me where.
If you pay attention to the photos, you can clearly see how they spray painted it pink, good idea.
By the way, I love Izzy's outfit, the t-shirt with Marylin Monroe's face and the white comor jacket look good.
Axl's outfit seems incredible to me, blue jeans, the pink jacket and his red hair, it’s just something iconic, this is one of my favorite Axl Rose outfits.
Finally, if you pay attention to the penultimate foto, there are the three of them, in the background there is a pink car that matches the jacket that this post has been about.
So now you know, if you want to throw away an old leather jacket you can paint it any color you want, you just need spray paint.
Please someone tell Axl that pink is his color!
Men's, don't be afraid of this color.
(How many years have they been here? Like 20 or 21? I don't know.)

Following the previous post, there’s also a report of young Axl being hit by a car when crossing the road. He really seemed to have caught no break in life, poor boy.
And there’s a picture I found of Izzy’s cousin who, according to Izzy, was a bit of a bully to them in high school and Axl fought him in Izzy’s absence. Turned out he was a professional athlete. Pretty brave of Axl to pick a fight with that guy given their size difference tbh.
I just saw a car with a licence plate that said AXL on it.
It’s a sign.
Also I’m feeling like this picture of Axl since it’s finally summer 😫😫😫😫😍😍😍😍🥥🥥🥥
AWWWW LOOK AT THOSE TWO!! SUMMER BABES <333
I was 17 and left Indiana because I had a disagreement with one of the juvenile detectives. He was determined to put my ass in jail, and I was determined to get the fuck out of Dodge. As he was driving to my house, I was getting my clothes out of the dryer, and getting the fuck out of Dodge. I had about 35 bucks and I took a bus to St. Louis...Then I went out by whatever freeway I was closest to and hitched a ride with some air conditioning repairman in a van. It all seemed pleasant and safe enough, and nothing really much happened. I was exhausted, beaten, never been out of my fucking town on my own, in my life. We went to some fucking hotel and I crashed out, and this guy crashed out, and I woke up, and this guy was trying to fuck me. I don't care - you can be male, female, you can be a fucking dog - I don't care what you are, man. That shit ain't right...Anyway, I pinned this guy against the wall between the door of the hotel with my straight razor, and it took everything I had inside of me not to fucking slice his jugular vein. So that was kinda my first experience of knowing where I was. Do you know where you are?

The ads on a weekly basis and soon found their next bass player, Izzy Stradlin, who went on to gain fame as rhythm guitarist for Guns N’ Roses. “Back then he was Izzy Bell,” says Santalesa of Stradlin, “He looked a lot like Nikki Sixx and had a lot of energy. He was very enthusiastic.” (This contrary to the current heroin chic persona Stradlin sports today.)
Santalesa goes on to say that Stradlin was always more of a punk at heart, counter to Shire’s melodic power metal sound. He says “[Izzy] wanted to do a Ramones song and I added a solo, so everyone thought that was funny. He was the first guy I saw wearing creepers so he was ahead of his time.”
Ultimately, Stradlin would leave the band when “his friend Bill Bailey came from Indiana in 1983, so he started doing his thing with him.” (Bill would be GnR singer Axl Rose.)
