Guns N’ Roses’ Axl Rose was recently photographed with fans at a restaurant in his home state of Indiana.
As seen in a photo shared on Facebook by a woman named Courtney Prilaman, the rocker paid a visit to the River View Restaurant Bar and Grill in the town of Logansport, which is less than an hour away from his hometown of Lafayette.
“We got to meet Axl Rose from Guns N’ Roses when he stopped by Riverview tonight for dinner! When I took my hair down for the picture he said, ‘I love your hair I wish I could take it back to the ’70s with me’,” Prilaman wrote in the caption.
In the comments section of the photo, Prilaman explained that the restaurant received a call from one of their regular customers asking to sit in a specific part of the venue because they were coming in with a celebrity. She also noted that Rose told her he was there visiting childhood friends.
On December 16, 1986, Geffen Records released 10,000 copies of the Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide EP on Guns N’ Roses’ fake indie label UZI Suicide as a preview, which featured two original songs — “Reckless Life” and “Move to the City” — and two covers — “Nice Boys” and “Mama Kin.” The copies sold out immediately, and the band entered the studio in early 1987 with producer Mike Clink to start working on their debut full-length album. On July 21, 1987, Appetite for Destruction was released and debuted at No. 182 on the Billboard 200 the following week.
