  Completely fake man!!! 

Both are forgeries. I have seen this forgery style before.

Thank You for your opinions, i have spent hours trying to find pre 1990 examples of the bands autographs, so far i have found matches that have been authenticated by beckett, psa and epperson, on axl, adler, what i really need is pictures of anything signed pre 1990 on slash and izzy to help prove authenticty of this photo,  need pictures please/

You're welcome. Just to point out, on the signed silver record that you posted, the Axl signature was written most likely by Doug Goldstein (or possibly someone else in their inner circle) who often signed on Axl's behalf for fans. The other signatures on that record look perfect though. I will include some pre-1990 examples of authentic GNR signatures. I have other examples that I can post if you need them, but here are a few. None of these photos are mine but they are from reliable sources and are period correct.

When I try to open these, the message unsafe site do not open, I am looking for authenticated images by psa, jsa, or beckett, from 1988 or 89, before anybody cared about there autographs, not sure why they would use someone to sign there items if they were not well known yet.

Goldstien did not manage roses untill 1991, photo was signed in 89, so  not sure why he would be signing guns items

Just be careful because PSA and Beckett sometimes authenticate bad pieces. I have found that JSA is more reliable but they are not perfect either. GNR were huge by the Summer of 1988, and although Goldstein was not their official manager, he was with the band and acted as one of Axl's assistants. When I said that Doug Goldstein signed it, I was referring specifically to the Axl sig on the silver record (not the RIAA award, but the one signed in 1991). The other autographs on that record are authentic but the Axl sig is not in his hand. If you compare, it was signed by the same person who did the two pieces that you initially included in your post (the promo photo and the RIAA award, all signatures on both pieces are signed by the same person). I can't prove it was signed by Goldstein, but I am confident that it was signed by someone in their inner circle (not any of the band members), and it was probably non-malicious. There were several people, even back then who signed autographs on the band's behalf. I hope this info helps. The images I included are safe, that is just the way they are stored.
