The long-tenured UFC commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan recently had an encounter with Guns N’ Roses legend Axl Rose at a restaurant in Greece over the weekend.
The host of “The Joe Rogan Experience” shared a photo of him with the Guns N’ Roses singer, and he included the following message:
“Was in Greece on vacation and randomly ran into Axl Rose at a restaurant. He invited us to see @gunsnroses in Athens, and it was FUCKING AMAZING. They went HARD for 3 hours in the blazing heat and the crowd was incredible. If you have a chance to see them near you I can’t recommend it enough.”

It was back in 2017 that Rogan praised Rose for “turn[ing] it around” after “f***[ing his] life up” by “shooting his face up with a bunch of shit”. During a conversation with Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan on an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience”, Joe said: “The GN’R [story] is a fascinating one to me, because Axl just went off the rails and into the woods for so long. Shooting his face up with a bunch of shit, and looked like he was just gone; it looked like we’d lost him. To me, as a kid, Guns N’ Roses ‘Welcome To The Jungle’ was one of my all-time favorite songs when I was 18; it was amazing. Then to see them just have this incredible success, and then Axl goes crazy.’
He continued: “One of the things that I really enjoy about Axl Rose is I love comebacks. I love when someone f***s their life up, and brings it right back around.
“Success stories are awesome — [I] love them — but they’re fairly commonplace. But success, complete f***up, success again, those are the stories, those are the ones I enjoy.
