Relevance to tech: Axl's a very public figure, and this kind of image rehabilitation is quite interesting from both a modern PR and "fan" perspective. Engaging with people was not a staple of the Axl rose during the heydey of GNR. Now...it kind of seems like it is. Oh and then there's the 'Streisand Effect' thing he has going on with that chubby photo meme.
