Stuttgart, City of Paradise, according to Axl Rose
In the heart of Germany, the city of Stuttgart has recently become a hotspot for a legendary rockstar - Axl Rose, the frontman of Guns N' Roses. However, unlike a typical rockstar tour, Axl's visit to Stuttgart seems to be more about his personal interest in cars than a public performance or business event.
Axl Rose, a known car enthusiast and collector, has been spotted in the city's nightlife, arriving in style in a Maybach, a high-end car brand under the Mercedes-Benz umbrella. This appearance has sparked speculation about a potential connection with the German automotive giant [1].
The visit to Stuttgart is part of a unique "work-life balance project" that Axl has been pursuing during the European leg of Guns N' Roses' tour. This project involves combining band stops with visits to automotive-related sites and activities [2]. Stuttgart, home to both Porsche and Mercedes-Benz, is a natural draw for a car enthusiast like Axl.
Rumours of a potential collaboration or business engagement between Axl and these car manufacturers are currently unconfirmed. Axl has been seen engaging with the city's vibrant nightlife and visiting electric sports car maker Mate Rimac and his company near Zagreb, but there is no public statement indicating an official partnership [2].
Axl Rose's connection with Porsche is further evident through his ownership of a 918 Spyder, a model produced by the brand [2]. Yet, it is essential to note that there is no direct evidence that Axl is officially collaborating with or representing Porsche or Mercedes.
Axl's European tour culminated at the Wacken Open Air festival, but his car-focused sojourn in Stuttgart has left an indelible mark. As Axl continues to traverse the world with Guns N' Roses, his passion for cars remains a constant companion, leading him to unexpected destinations and exciting experiences.
