kropotkin Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Slash Gear Banned from Guns N' Roses ConcertPosted Jan 24th 2010 12:16AM by TMZ StaffGuns N' Roses fans were forced to take sides in the legendary war between Axl Rose and Slash -- after security at a recent GNR show banned fans from wearing Slash gear inside the show. It all went down at the GNR show in Canada last Wednesday -- concert security informed fans that they were required to turn their Slash t-shirts inside out .... and leave their top hats outside.TMZ spoke with a member of the concert security team who confirmed the marching orders -- and told us the instructions were passed down from a producer for the band. We're told a few fans took the high road and went home ... but most just sucked it up and did what they were told.

PTZ Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) I wonder who leaked that to TMZ....And a producer for the band made that call? Who could that be? Edited January 24, 2010 by PTZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kropotkin Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 This is not meant to start a war, just sharing a piece of "news", tho we should know that anything from TMZ is most often false ... just sharing what I read ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTZ Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I don't understand why TMZ even cares about the Axl/Slash war.Most of their readers probably aren't into that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 It sounds like this was the Regina show. No one from this or any other forum I've seen has confirmed this. Evil Ernie specifically asked a couple of security guards about this at the Edmonton show, and they both said there was no such apparel rule enforced. Sounds like it is happening sporadically. That's proof enough that it isn't GN'R's policy, as if the TMZ report that it came from a "producer" of the band, whatever the hell that means.Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madison Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 not confirmed by anyone except an unknown source so no it aint trueOh, for heaven's sake. I can't believe you're still in denial. I spoke to the security manager, and he confirmed it to me. I'm guessing TMZ spoke to the same person. If you make the right calls and speak to the person who headed security that night, he will confirm everything in great detail. I can't believe some of you are still trying to pretend it didn't happen. Now, the question that remains - Has someone in the GNR camp stopped instructing security to do this at other shows, given the enormous negative feedback this policy got? Who knows. But, that's what we don't know at this point. **And No - I did not tip off TMZ about this, in case anyone was wondering.Did it happen to anyone on this forum who went to the show?yes, several people from this forum saw this happen and posted it.Please read through the other thread on this topic.

kropotkin Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Wow Madison, I was not even ready to take this seriously until you stepped in ... I couldn't even believe things had sunk to this new low, which, if true, is really beyond ridiculous ... I feel the same way about the Nirvana / GNR thing, I like em both, and who cares!? Let me decide what I like and don't like! I am one of the few punk rockers who still listens and loves Twisted Sister, who cares!And to moreblack, thanks for the info ... I have heard that TMZ is not the best source, but recently they were dead on with the Conan stuff ...And as to why TMZ would post it? If true it would be just so idiotic that it deserves to be posted for that sake alone!Like i mentioned in the original thread...this is true guys.At the 06 show in Toronto I was told at the door when they opened ( i was 5th in line) no slash shirts,hats or signs. the secuirty guard even said "no this is not a joke"so this isnt new but it is indeed accuarate.Shit! And here I thought I'd post a funny wacky tabloid article and get a laugh out of it! Man ... !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time, I didn't believe it, and closed the thread. However, when I made calls myself to check into it, I discovered it was true, and so I reposted the thread:http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=158462&st=0So, TMZ is actually pretty late getting this news.

I mean, to be told not to wear GNR fan paraphenelia at a GNR concert ... sounds insane ...And Madison, go ahead and merge or delete this thread, I quickly looked for anything similar but obvisouly didn't look close enough! I follow the forum almost daily but obviously miss a few things here and there, sorry for the repeat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williambailey01 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) Do people still believe that this actually didn't happen??? Here, one of the admins at gnrevolution (Bono) went to that show and here is his comment on it: There were people in our section talking to us who said they saw some people getting hassled at the doors who had Slash shirts on http://www.gnrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?pid=156347#p156347It may not happen in subsequent concerts since the negative reaction was noted and damage control was implemented. I doubt we will ever find out exactly where the original order came from, my guess is probably not Axl, but more likely someone from their camp/management etc being over zealous. This is not something that would have been independently initiated by the security firm. For what reason would they do this - to create more work for themselves?

kropotkin Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 How about a couple of people for the Hamilton show try it out and see what happens? Just to be super sure ... ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 (edited) I <3 you.Anyway: TMZ is almost never, ever wrong. They were the first to report (accurate) info about Conan leaving NBC. They were the first to cover the whole Michael Jackson death in detail (with accurate info). They have reported countless celebrity deaths before most major outlets and never been wrong.Basically, like 'em or hate 'em, TMZ is almost never wrong. They do their research. They have connections. There's no reason to doubt 'em. Edited January 24, 2010 by Estranged Reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
