Snowmass Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I know I'm old (41) and Axl's time has passed....but this passion is why I'm still here (in GnR world). God damn- 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazey Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 That passion has been gone for years I'm afraid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewporTimbo Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 It's shocking how little Axl interacts with the fans. Watching even the Hammerstein shows 8 years ago, Axl was engaged and interacting with the fans.Now? It seems it's mailed in and rehearsed...

classicguns4life Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 This was a GNR trademark and its possible I miss this just as much as I miss Slash. If he still did this, and meant it, it would almost make up for him not having the original band. This was one of things that set them apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 The best Axl rant is when he tells his own crowd of fans to shut the fuck up so he can stop the show to have a bizarre but powerful rant about being fucked up, He was one in a million in many ways and it seems the fire is smouldering now, hope it's cause he's happy and found peace and not cause he's crushed by the burden he took on. I'm sure it's a blend of both though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bran Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 some rants were cool, a lot came off as childish. still wish he would muster up some kind of passion, the only time he shows any is to take to twitter about a dead giraffe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I liked his rants because it gave songs an intro. He always led what he was saying into a song. He got made fun of for his rants, so I think that shut him down a bit in talking with the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay410 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Axl Rose in his prime was the greatest frontman on the planet, bar none. Unfortunately that was only for 5-6 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcountry Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) if i remember right it was the last song before the encores.And if I remember correctly he had a broken fucking legLeg was not broken.He required the cast and boot because of injury to his achilles tendon or ligaments in his ankle that where a childhood injury that he re injured during the shows at the ritz and the filming of YCBM because he was jumping off everything in sight.There is a youtube video where he is being fitted for the boot and talks about the injury and he had Slash come in with him and Dr and had the Dr tell Slash he need surgery and 6 months off and Slash about fell over because the tour was about to start.Here is the video Edited April 20, 2014 by bigcountry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcountry Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Found the video I was looking for..... He had a bruised heel and ligament damage, but doesn't say which, he did first hurt it as a kid and they couldn't afford to fix it.He goes into more detail on the Slash and DR. bit he pulled.Starts about the 3:40 mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
