AndreCC Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 It's refreshing to hear that, for once, the band threw something at the audience and not the other way around.hahaha! You bet! I would have accepted the mic and still request for payment of my teeth as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimb0 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) So this guy is lucky enough to almost catch the mic... and then misses it. I'd feel stupid too.Jimbo, I hope you are a girl and that is your boyfriend, or a guy and that is your gay lover. I hope to God you did not CHOOSE to put that avatar there. Nah that's me. And I put it there cuz I thought it was Fucking Funny. When all the Axl bashing with eyeliner went on, and people were defending it I wanted to see if they'd flame me, which they did, which I found was kinda contradictory, which is funny.One day me and a female friend of mine were bored, probably a little lit, listening to hair metal and we thought it would be funny. So she snapped a pic. I put it up, got flamed, had a laugh. Yeah I'll let a girl draw a little pencil around my eye if its private and fun and leads to more private fun.I don't wear eyeliner out in public... or at least since the last stage acting gig I did. I've never put it on when playing or doing a gig And I really could give a shit if people on an online forum think it's gay. The fact that they have a problem with it, to me, is fucking funny. Will I ever change it.... that's a definite maybe. Edited March 13, 2013 by jimb0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 He added one too many zeros - chipped teeth cost 500 dollars to fix, 5 grand is if you're getting full dental work. It'll probably be handled, best thing for them to do is find the dentist and give them VIP box for any show at the venue in exchange for services.

James Bond Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 The guy has a point. It was surely an accident but all the same he shouldn't have to pay to get his teeth fixed. I'd feel a bit different if he was trying to get extra money out of the deal but he literally just wants enough to fix his teeth. I think that's fair. I doubt this will even make it to court - they'll probably just settle for the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 it was just an accident and it sucks, but i do think he kind of has a point too. if he is struggling with money and his family why should he pay for something that technically wasnt his fault? he seems to know it was an accident too and just wants compensation for the dental work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbo Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Maybe Axl could pay to get the guys teeth fixed, but probably not. That idiot should have caught it.For somebody who's a big fan of somebody who's constantly crying about shit being thrown on stage, this is quite an asinine statement.He threw something, and somebody got hurt because of it. For all his cries about the dangers of shit being thrown at people, he should own up to his mistake, and compensate the poor guy. Otherwise, I never wanna hear Axl pissing and moaning about shit being thrown on stage again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Axl could easily turn this into a win. Give the guy tickets to another show, invite him backstage for some pictures, autograph a mic for him and pay for his dental work. GNR feelgood story of the decade.

Even if you don't like Axl. you can sell the motherfucker on Ebay or something.it's a gift, it's not like Axl want's to hit someone in the crowd.

JONEZY Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I remember seeing GnR in 1992 with Metallica and Body Count. When they finished the last song, Axl said something like "are you ready", waited a second or 2, then threw the mic. To me it seemed like he was trying to throw the mic to one of the crew out beyond the crowd on the floor. In other words, he wanted the mic back after the show. Just throwing that out there(no pun intended). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he should have to own up to it, especially as somebody that constantly preaches about not throwing shit, as it can hurt people.People that drive don't mean to get into car accidents and hurt other people. But it happens, and you have to face the consequences to your actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaida Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Correct me if I am wrong but I think there is a clause on your ticket that says that the arena and the band are not responsible for any damages done to you. I know I've read clauses like that on baseball ticket stubs or something to that effect.But where do you draw the line.

Although, I did get lots of upvotes for defending Scott Weiland on his last sensationalist article http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/wtf/injured_guns_n_roses_fan_to_sue_axl_rose.htmlThe comments are a fucking joke on there.

I'm just saying, Axl should at least take responsibility for his mistake, and pay for the guy's dental work.I completely agree, but I wonder if paying for the dental work would be some kind of admission of liability and open the band/Axl up for damages beyond -just- the dental work.I feel like they would have already offered to pay for the guy's teeth if it were that simple. Did the guy even ask GNR's management for money for the dental work? Or did he just straight up initiate legal proceedings? The article isn't really clear on that.It just seems like this guy might be a little sue-happy, and if that's the case, offering to pay for it at this stage could be risky if the guy is intent on seeing it end up in court. In any case, he still threw the mic last night... so it doesn't look like it'll change things in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
