axlstod

funny thing is in that article there is no mention of leeds but the magazine says reading/leeds i actually read this in asda on tuesday so they probably never even got to see the leeds gig.

oh and when it says about axl slipping at download they actually left the stage for about 5 minutes while the stage was cleaned then ron came out and did the dont cry solo.poor guy got loads of shit thrown at him but just kept smiling.

regarding leeds i was there and it was awesome it was the 4th time i have seen gnr and probably the best just a shame they didnt get another 10-15 mins for the encore but that didnt spoil it,crown really enjoyed gnr although you could tell they werent hardcore gnr fans.with the exception of me noone knew the new songs.

there was 2 rounds of booing before they hit the stage that didnt last long and were very low key.the band won them over in no time when they hit the stage..

so nme can kiss my arse.lol.

just cant believe the bad press they get its like the press have been to a different show to me.all this axl been asleep crap,i actually saw a helicopter fly in about 1.30hrs before the band hit the stage,it was the only helicopter i saw so it must have been axls.

just want to add i was at download in 2006 and there was no riots,some people walked off i even remember one guy storming off saying thats not a band.

to be honest i felt the crowd was very hostile to the band and i was ashamed in a way to be there but in the end the band won them over and it was the longest set i have seen so far from gnr.

i was also at leeds in 2002 and there was no hostility,or bottles thrown or any shit like that,only love for the band.thats all people were taliking about,were there for.

i was at newcastle as well and that was a great show until some dick threw a £1 coin at axl and we got no encore,but the friggin wait was unreal.lol,it was probably the hottest day of 2006 too.

ok cheers m8
