Axl Rose Haircut: Takes on 'Meg Ryan' Look (PHOTO)
Instead of sporting his trademark long straight hair, it appears that Axl Rose is trying on a new look that could be remnant of a different celebrity.
The Guns N' Roses front man was spotted in London recently with short wavy hair- the complete opposite of his original hairdo. Rose made an appearance at a nightclub earlier this week wearing a black fur-trimmed coat, what appeared to be embroidered jeans, and black boots.
He also arrived showing off a new hairstyle, according to Daily Mail. The rocker's new look was a "far cry from his heyday" the report added, although the lead singer appeared to be as popular as ever at the club. He accessorized his look with chunky silver rings on his fingers, a few silver bracelets, and a bandana wrapped around his left wrist.

His new "chin-length wavy bob … makes him look like a redheaded Meg Ryan," FashionNStyle noted.
"What has he done to himself? Looks like a cross between Micky Rourke and Mick Hucknall," another user wrote on the Mail Online blog.
But others defended the frontman of the popular 80s band, suggesting that his talent was transcendent regardless of his looks.
"He had the most amazing stage presence, which had nothing to do with looks ... once a legend always a legend," another blogger wrote.
Born William Bruce Rose, Jr. he and former band mate Tracii Guns merged their names to form the band in 1985. Their first album was released in 1986 and the band had become an international success by 1987. Rose began dating model Erin Everly in 1986, for whom he wrote "Sweet Child of Mine." They were married but the marriage was eventually annulled. Later Rose would go on to date supermodel Stephanie Seymour, they too were engaged but split before the actual wedding.
