Especially as the tent field is now an hour hike over mud and rocks to get to the arena I have some horrible memories from Donington but that hike from piss soaked tent field to arena is the worst 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, this guy travels with the band. He's the same guy @Lumikki described because I saw him down at the barrier scouring the crowd with his beady eyes. A big dude with a black beard. Never seen so many people pulled out of a pit as I did in London on night 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The security for the band is always the same and travel with them. The rest are locals but I'm afraid those policies of ripping off banners, unfortunately, come from the band's security, not the locals. I hope when they return to Argentina their security is adviced not to command themselves with violence because those things here spread like wildfire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tori72 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) I saw the black beard guy in Munich too. He was chatting away with Fernando who was taking pictures of Axl's new girlfriend. He didn't do any thing in Munich and I can't remember people being pulled out during GnR. Maybe that speaks against us Germans being the most boring crowd in the world... who knows Edited June 26, 2017 by Tori72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) Let me just get this bit straight - the people who got pulled out of the crowd in London were absolutely drunk or already fighting, in that respect I'm glad the security was so tight. Normally I go home with a few bruises and whatnot so it was quite nice seeing them got rid of from the get go One man had five of them holding him down and he was still kicking and punching so the big dude with black beard waded in on him - black beard looked well happy to be in a scrap Edited June 26, 2017 by MillionsOfSpiders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a simple banner. My friends made a bet with me that I somehow gonna take a banner or a shirt with me ??? The guys next to me at the railing in Slane had a huge banner (pic posted here at the time). A local security guard brought out some cable ties for them to use to attach the banner to the railing, saying "I shouldn't be doing this but here you go". That said, they pulled a few people out of the crowd during the gig. Nothing over the top though. An annoying guy behind me passed a mask up to Richard Fortus, another security guard passed it up for him. Given Axl's lovely reaction to @NorwegianGirl's banner, and the pictures from 80s/90s showing Axl holding up banners, I think the band members actually like banners. It's the only way for them to get individual messages from fans! So fans love them, the band loves them... it seems to be only the band's security team that has a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Right up until the "where's Izzy" sign there has never been a problem with banners as I can recall. There are many pictures of Axl holding them up from the 80s right up until recently and even one on this tour in Argentina. Only now they aren't wanted. Banners are the new Slash t shirts Edited June 27, 2017 by MillionsOfSpiders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asia Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I'm not sure about whether they like them, cause apparently Axl told somebody in Gdańsk to take the banner down (haven't heard that personally but it can be seen on a video). I still don't know what was on the banner but I saw how the owner tried to negotiate with the black guy probably wantning to keep it at least, but the black guy just shook his head and pulled it away from him. I don't know what's the logic behind this, maybe it's to make sure that all people see the stage... Also, in Gdańsk they definitely didn't allow for sitting on somebody's shoulders.

MillionsOfSpiders Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I doubt it is because they are so concerned about fans behind being able to see and is more about they might set Axl off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then why would they take all of them away, which I guess they do? Unlikely that "We love you" or something would set Axl off... Also Axl hasn't shown a smallest sign of irritation on stage for the last two years, so no need for that much caution, I'd say...

There is a pattern here though. Axl notices and acknowledges the sign.. couple of minutes later here is mr security to snatch it away and rip it up. I think that is odd.

Asia Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Yup, and I don't exactly get it, cause banners are a cool thing and such a traditional part of rock shows... By the way, did anyone understand what Axl says here after he tickles Slash around 3:20? Can't make it out...
