Shawn says on 4/Feb/10
Saw him last week in concert, ten feet away from him. 5'7". I could easily tell from his body proportions. Remember him with Glenn? He's 5'7".
Maximilian says on 22/Jan/10
I saw him in Milan in 2006..I'm 6 feet and i'm sure that when i met him,he didn't have high boots so i simply could compare us..He's without any doubs 5 ft 9 (175 cm) Spence says on 1/Jan/10
He looks around 5'9 AXL FAN says on 8/Nov/09
It doesn't really matter that he's 5 ft 8.5...his genious is higher than anyone else's. :) and above all he is soooo good looking...and also the most attractive rocker ever. ;) Thank God that Axl exists and that he created GNR and that he still keeps on rockin' with the new GNR.. GNR Fan says on 7/Sep/09
One thing to keep in mind is that in a lot of pics the Ax Man is wearing cowboy boots. That'll add at least 1.5 to 2.5 inches to his height. And the cops don't make you take off your boots or shoes in mugshots (they make you do that before they throw you in the cell). jf says on 14/Jun/09
5'8.5" sounds perfect for him these days. His peak may have been 5'9". He's got the stage presence of a legit 6-footer though.
He's a lot cooler than most 174centimeterites. zedrein says on 8/May/09
Yeah, Robbie. If you go check out government stats on average height for males in the Unites States, average tends to be just a little bit over 5' 10. So Axl is just a little bit under the national average, I wouldn't call him "short" Doug says on 3/May/09
Robbie thats because a lot of people who comment on this site see the world as if 6'5" is the norm. They comment from the view that they are all 6'5" and even 5'11-6'0 is "short". Claiming Axel Rose who in my view is indeed around 5'9" as "very short" just goes to show the warped view people have of the world. He is an average height guy. If he was 5'4" then we call him "very short" or "dwarf". Source says on 2/May/09
Looks like a solid 5'9. John Riley says on 26/Mar/09
I've seen Axl (aka William Bailey) on two seperate occasions. The second time he seemed shorter. Robbie says on 21/Mar/09
It's strange, a lot of people who claim they saw him in la back in 2001 said "he was very short, about 5'8.75-5'9" I don't quite understand why people would say 5'9 is very short but maybe they expected him to be 6'2 or somthing.
Anyway the man is a genious, even if he doesn't hit all the standards (height included) but thats what hes all about right? Not living up to anyones opinion of him. Brad says on 18/Feb/09
Wether or weather or weither (Honeybee Dog Chapman)I guess you are write. Doug says on 16/Feb/09
It doesnt really matter how tall Axl is. He is who he is. Hes still the same kick ass person wether hes 4 foot tall or 7 foot tall. amanda hayes says on 9/Feb/09
if he says his height is 5'9 then thats what it is, hes smart enough to know his own height. Zach says on 6/Jan/09
Guns n roses are my savour with out them i would not be her
God bless GNR El says on 3/Dec/08
He must be 5"9 at least since in a lot of pictures he looks taller or at least the same height as Stephanie Seymour and she was like 5"10, right? MikeInHollywood says on 24/Nov/08
Hey guys, as you can tell from my name, I live in Los Angeles, CA. From 1992-1993 I worked at Tower Video on Sunset Blvd (The same one that Slash and Axl actually worked at in the 80's). Many celebrities came in to rent or buy videos there. One day in early '93, I was eye to eye with Axl who was nothing but sweet and gentlemanly. I'm 5'8" but he was shorter than me, which was weird when I thought about it, but then I realized he has really bad posture and slouches a good two inches at least. Watch video of him and you'll see what I mean...almost like a hunchback sometimes. So I believe he is 5'9" when he stands up straight. It's a cherished memory to have met him, answered his questions about laserdiscs and shaking his hand after getting an autograph. He really is a good guy. Troy says on 20/Oct/08
hey glen , i really appreciate the fact you take the time to answer all these questions, ive heard storys of fans managing to get into after partys with the band whilst they are on tour and meet the band and even meet Axl when he shows up etc . ..any info on what the ebst way to even get into these types of situations/partys are??? ..because im hoping on the enxt UK tour ill be lucky enough to be in this situation. Richard says on 18/Oct/08
Check out this video clip. In two instances, people who saw mention how short he is.

Also, this picture of Axl and Slash back-to-back is very telling. Even though you can't see footwear, let's assume they're in similar footwear. Axl is standing straight up, and Slash is leaning back a bit. You can clearly see Slash's shoulder's are higher and if he were to straighten up, he'd have a good 1-1.5 inches on Axl.

There's no way he's taller than 5'8. Mickey says on 18/Oct/08
Daii, Axl can be seen wearing ABSOLUTELY massive boots on stage, ill try find a pic of them. Huge they are. He can look close to Slash's height in what looks to be lifts. jam says on 16/Oct/08
its really funny most bands have a tall bassist but a short leader¡
Anyway,he looks tall in video Sweet child oh mine¡¡
Can anybody give me some measures to gain weight?im 5ft 9£¬but only 120 pounds Daii says on 15/Aug/08
Ive watched many videos of guns n roses, Slash seems taller by an inch or 2, Axl is probably near 5'9 somewhere, probably not over
174 sounds right Curious says on 30/Jun/08
I just read his unauthorized biography, W.A.R., which people who knew him throughout the book say he was a little guy. Must be wearing boots in these pictures with Glen. Just under 5'9" sounds about right. Steph says on 28/Apr/08
Is there any way that you can give me a fan mail address for Axl? I can't seem to find one. And, Axl does look about 5'9"--nice pix metalchick says on 12/Mar/08
axl looks really good in the pix above! he turned 45 i think on 2/6/08 right? yeah, he WAS one of my husbands but we got divorced when he got the funky hair... he used to be so fine...(inhale-exhale) Joel says on 2/Feb/08
Izzy remarked in the past that Axl was known for being 'the short red head' in High School. If you look at old guns pictures you can see he was the shortest in the band next to Adler. Dale says on 15/Jan/08
Cheers man, ill note down your email for future reference. Dale says on 12/Jan/08
ah shame. well i can always be hopeful, plan to go to every date of their next UK tour, which should be a laugh. I know bbf (especially) and the rest of them meet fans, met slash in london recently, had a chat, hes sounded like a nice guy (at least while chatting to me nehoo).
If all fails i plan to go over to NYC and LA in 2/3 years time, ill make an effort to bump into him. Anonymous says on 8/Dec/07
He looks about 5'9. Axl has let himself go. WHY? WHY do we grow old? Sexy Pete says on 20/Nov/07
Hey Glen, did you ever get teh chance to party with Del James? What's he like? Have any awesome stories about the funny things Del says and does? ric says on 7/Nov/07
do you know something about when the new album will be released in the stores? Beatrice Rose says on 6/Nov/07
Is Axl´s house ok?? I really hope he stay cool and I want to make sure that he and his malibu house are ok well I have to say I found Him really atractive and even if his height was 1 ft I still love him that man is just so beautiful,lovely and such a charm haha well hi to everybody and thanks 4 the answer Maiara says on 5/Nov/07
Axl is the most wonderfull guy in the world, he deserves every good things in the world. I love him and the band. If is not asking too much, the next time you see him, tell him that there's a girl in Brazil who really loves him! And send him a big kiss!! You're lucky guy for met him, I wish I could one day... Tina says on 3/Nov/07
Does this mean the record company has it or are they still negotiating and Axl still has it? Denise says on 29/Oct/07
I saw the picture and I thinl if you speak wiht Axl , Is he serius ? and Did He speak abount new album ? Rich says on 29/Oct/07
What's the best way to meet him in person? Hangout near hotels and clubs, or what? tim says on 28/Oct/07
do you know anything about whats holding the record up? or if it has since been sorted out? Tina says on 28/Oct/07
Yes. GNR are my favorite band. Saw the original band back in the 80s and in 06, saw the new incarnation a bunch of times. Anonymous says on 23/Oct/07
Any advice on how to get backstage? How did you manage it so many times? (Lucky!) Mini Rose says on 9/Aug/07
I think he's 5ft8.5ish, not too sure.. but you're right, no one's as small as AC/DC! Dirty Den says on 7/Aug/07
Axl is always wearing high Shoes everywhere even in music videos. He is really insecure about his height Mike says on 14/Jul/07
Idk, i hope it comes this year, but im doubtfull. although the guitarist did say in an email after these dates they will focus fully on getting the album out. but to me im afraid well get like 2002-06. 4 years of silence. although, this time the band announced thhey were mixing/recording was done. so hopefully we do get a firm release date soon. keep us updated if you hear anything after the tour ends! RP says on 14/Jul/07
You said Axl lives in New York? I never knew that. Last I heard from an insider at Chinesedemococracy.com is that after the tour ends in Japan they are supposed to be focusing on the album. Hope it comes out this fall but I'm guessing it's more likely to be next spring. Dash says on 11/May/07
Makes sense.... Markus says on 9/May/07
Funny thing about singers:
Anthony Kiedis: 174 cm (RHCP)
Axl Rose: 174 cm (G'n R)
Mike Patton: 175 cm (FNM)
Coincidence :P Bruno says on 7/May/07
did he give you the release date or just a guess? RP says on 2/May/07
I know you've probably got this question about a million times but do you have any idea when the albums coming out? I know they're going on tour in Australia and New Zealand soon and I don't think they'll release it until they get back to the U.S. but I could be wrong. Rose says on 30/Mar/07
o.k. thanks why did izzy do it for? Anonymous says on 26/Feb/07
That seems about right. and by the way he looks practically the same except the extensions. Where is all this talk about plastic surgery coming from? Alma says on 16/Jan/07
I have seen him from close (standing right next to me) and he was my height (1,71). gn'r says on 10/Jan/07
True, but the new band will never reach the heights of the late 80s Guns N' Roses. They were awesome back then. I'm 26, was too young and never got to see them live in their peak. A lot of kids these days and people in early 20s don't know who Guns are. Crazy. That's what happens when you're away for too long. gn'r says on 7/Jan/07
Looks like no one knows for sure. I suppose he wouldn't appreciate that question too much, would he? :) Anonymous says on 5/Jan/07
yeah that seems about right. high end of 5'8", almost 5'9". and damn,he's got the most gorgeous blue eyes ever!!! i dont care what anyone says,he's still gorgeous. Derek says on 5/Jan/07
That's true. He always looks taller than he really is. Does he have braids in the most recent picture? Derek says on 4/Jan/07
Axl looks at least 5'9".
[Editor Rob: this other picture is recent aswell?] Anthony says on 4/Dec/06
My friend met Axl backstage after a show. She said he was about 5'9. She also said Axl was quite nice (she said they had a conversation about hamburgers) until someone brought him fake White Castle, which ticked him off. AJ says on 4/Nov/06
Is still says you do not have a yahoo account? Should I try and email you from a yahoo address? Please let me know. Thanks dude. Greg says on 30/Oct/06
I think 174 is exactly right, in these new pics with his girlfriend (who is listed as 176cm on her site) he looks exactly this height...

Click Here SM says on 25/Oct/06
I saw Axl twice this year. At download Festival and then in Sheffield and he was aaammmmzzzzinng :D Im just jealous of all you guys that have met him! AJ says on 15/Oct/06
Does anyone know who GNR's publicist or Axl Rose's publicist is? Mr. E says on 23/Sep/06
All evidence for Axl is correct, saw him in concert in 1992, he had Converse basketball shoes on, he was 5'8" no more no less......a lot of pics he wears boots.....judging from how he wrecked himself with plastic surgery....he might resort to lifts now.....still he's 5'8" Brad says on 21/Sep/06
I saw Guns do 1 song at Mile High Stadium and Axl just split in his limo. Slash and the guys just did Misfits & punk stuff til the limo came back with the child pissed off like a wet dog. He's one moody hombre. The U.S. swing could auto-destruct at any point. He's like a keg of dynamite with the fuse near a match. Danimal says on 9/Aug/06
Have you personally measured him Jason? Thought not. Jason says on 8/Aug/06
No he is 5 ft 9 trust me im Axl Rose fanatic i now everything about him. aidah says on 4/Aug/06
god glen how old are you the first one was taken like 88 right and you look the guy from alice in (don't know the last word there to deep for me ) how do you know all these rock stars Anonymous says on 7/Jun/06
I met Axl Rose in Milan three days ago...
I was shoulder to shoulder with him and I'm sure he can't be more than 170cm.
He was great, very kind and in very good mood.... Axl is God! Andreas says on 21/May/06
oh well. did he say something interesting? Andreas says on 19/May/06
Did you meet him? raj says on 18/May/06
Did he really have plastic surgey on his face and hair implants? I know hes fat tho'...and now i get that hes short. one of the best frontmans ever. andreas says on 10/May/06
What do you mean by "he isnt responding to dealers anymore"? D. Ray Morton says on 8/May/06
6'3" for Brain? No kidding. I honestly was picturing something like 5'9", dunno why. He did play drums on the new stuff, right?
I can't wait for fall/late fall! andreas says on 7/May/06
He said album out fall/late fall. New guy in the band, but he didn't say who. He told storys from old days and much more!! He was there 2 hours I think! Go to Click Here if you want to hear the interview. Riddle says on 5/May/06
Well, I do believe you. There are pictures, so it's obvious that you know him. Anyway, I'm really surprised with the three-cd thing. It's really cool, if it turns to be true. Is it true he wants to release it before summer? RIR web said so. I'm a little surprised that the band changed the Madrid date. It was on 28th and they changed it to 25th. Do you know something about this? I guess he wants some rest for the RIR, but it seems weird anyway. Elio says on 25/Apr/06
John,
There's not a chance in hell that any friend of a celeb could ever give you their email address (if indeed they communicate through emails), it would be a complete betrayal of trust. It's like going round to party at someone's house that you've been invited to, but bringing along 20 uninvited people with you. Riddle says on 3/Apr/06
Please, could you tell me if he said something about including some of the leaked tracks in the album (or albums)? Or if he does know he's got an european tour this spring? Thanks mudkicker says on 29/Mar/06
so you just know this from that press release that got out a couple weeks ago. Axl didn't discuss it with you.i find it hard to believe that Slash went over to diss his current bandmates to Axl, a guy he hasn't spoken to in 10 years. then slash is supposed to start recording with VR? doesn't make sense. did you discuss anything with axl??-not that he would tell you anything important anyways. you should've asked what the first single will be and when we can expect to see it, and you should've asked him who all is in the band these days. ... says on 26/Mar/06
thanks man for info.
btw, cool pics:))) mudkicker says on 24/Mar/06
why did Slash visit Axl and how do you know this to be true? Are you saying Axl wants to get Chinese Democracy out before he'll consider a reunion? Give us some details PLEASE!! ... says on 24/Mar/06
Maybe it's stupid question but did you asked Axl about reunion of "old" Gn'R? BuD says on 24/Mar/06
yeah he must have been in a good mood 3 times eh! ;) i've been close to him a few times but he always runs away, or drives faster to get away........Cmon Axl, get the new CD out!!!! Axl's Love Kitten says on 27/Jan/06
I would say that he is probably around 5'9"....I don't think he is too much more or less than that, but no matter what his actual height his, I still love him anyways..... brazilian guy says on 5/Jan/06
well, i´ve seen axl very close, i´ve been to his concert when he was the leading man in guns and roses, slash, matt sorum, izzi, ok, he is very shorty i can tell, i´m 5'7'', and he looked my high tops, he has shorty legs, and little body, slash is taller than him, to tell ya the truth, he is the shortest in the band, i give him 5'7'', or 172 tops, no way he is 174, he is a little and arrogant guy i can tell ya, 172 tops!!! Codex says on 21/Dec/05
Axl is obviously 5'9, any theory claiming anything shorter is absurd! the dude says on 16/Dec/05
he is shorter then slash so probably about 5ft 8 but slash does have big hair axlroseswife says on 12/May/05
i think Axl Rose is about 5'9 more than anything he is not 5ft 8 but he could be saying that because he wants to think he is tall too though he said once that he was 6'0 and i am sorry but he xant be getting shorter so whats up is he trying to be tall or what? Brandon says on 8/May/05
I'd say 5'8" seems more accurate height for the infamous hellraiser. I wouldnt take Axl's word on his 5'9"... with that ego of his I wouldnt be surprised if he told people he was 6'9" |
