Axl Rose "The Brilliant Scheme"

- Using the Media in a payback way, from the current bashing and history of bashing of Axl Rose.

Just Maybe baby,... It's payback time!!!

Song To The Media:

"I'll use you, N' abuse you, just like you did me. You can refuse me, N' accuse me, but I won't give a d a m n... no I won't give a d a m n !

Blast N' branded all over the scene, usin' my new Illusions, but get ready, 'cause this aint no dream!

Bash my name in a sense to heal your pain! Go right ahead, 'cause I know it will just bring me s h i t loads of fame! Wake Up People,.... It's Time To Play"

- Fictional Axl Lyrics |

If I know Axl Rose, (and no not personally) but from following him for so many years, and understanding his new ideas, thoughts on life, and how he completely understands the way the music industry works, and basically the entire screwed up world.

I would bet on him!

Michael Jackson is a good example of getting screwed over this year, in the sense of another perfectionist like Axl has tried to be for such long a time. Michael with a great album, but with no real sensation hitting the people when it was released, except just what he looks like now seems all that people care about to me, is what Axl does not want. A has-been album, that seems to never existed.

Nope, not this approach.

Axl Rose studying this mark on our land in music from a Mega Star, and the history of someone as great as Michael Jackson could learn alot of knowledge from this incident from the King of Pop and totally change his game plan for the tour, and the new album "Chinese Democracy". After all, Michael Jackson had nobody bigger than himself to learn from in this point in time of his career.

You only get one chance when your album breaks the public scene, you gotta make it right, or you won't make it at all. Especially when you have hit's from the past almost impossible to compete with. Challenging yourself is the most difficult task to achieve, and Axl Rose knows this desperately I believe! Because he's up there with Michael Jackson. Can Axl create another song like, Sweet Child O Mine? It's not just a song anymore, it's a permanent trademark in the world, "graved within a society stone". This stone can be a "monument", or a "tombstone" of mental proportions.

Axl Rose has worked hard in the last ten or so years. To re-create himself, evolve his music, his life, and his strength to become a better human being over all.

[For those ignorant few, that have no Idea what I'm talking about, I'll just use two words, and if you still don't understand, let me say you never really will! The two words: Ozzy Osborn.]

Now that, that's been said. My head isn't up Axl Roses ass, like some of you like to imagine in your own sick little world. He makes great music, puts on a incredible show now days considering his age, and is just a brilliant strong human being altogether to crawl up from the depths of total b u l l s h i t, and one that doesn't take any s h i t !. If this wasn't true, Guns N Roses wouldn't be the best Rock N Roll band in the world,... and I might as well throw this in, Slash would of went somewhere by now, all you Fad-Fans!

Bad controversy, is good controversy, when you're a rock star. If you read anything of what Axl Rose has said from his own words in the past, he's basically doing what the promoters tried to "Force" him to do, or be in the days when he was trying to become that better person not so long ago, and for reasons of greed, finance, and mega stardom, they tried to keep him that way! Well, he understands this now, and how the whole system works. But,... there's one thing he also understands that not many others do, .....is that you can play the sick game of Rock N Roll greed, but you don't actually have to live that way to do it, and destroy your own personal life, ...like the majority have done out there in the Rock N Roll land.

I wouldn't want to be anyone in the Rock N Roll era of any age, except maybe a handful, that did not eat them self alive, mentally, physically, and financially!

Many of you make fun of Axl Rose for getting treatment, and understanding life, but in the long run, at least he will still be alive, and hopefully making greater music than before! The rest of you won't know it, because you'll all be dead, or at least brain dead.

"Guess I should say, farewell now" Ha!

I have many of the old concerts on video of Guns N Roses. There is no comparison to the days he was intoxicated, to the time of now when he puts on a show without needing any type of substance of abuse. When I saw the show in Cleveland, Ohio It was like watching a music video it was so close to perfect! The concerts in the past, are like watching local bands play, trying to stay sober enough to even play and put on a show.

So for a final and personal word,...

"I hope Axl knows exactly what he's doing, ...and yeah, I believe he does! Why the other's are still in wonder and confusing, bringing them self down with doubt,... You always have to believe in strength and courage from this one man army with spark,... because after all people of no real account, this is Axl Rose, the man who brought you,.... not one! But two Illusions! ;D - bri

Well I thought I would write something more positive, and creative, than waste my time anymore getting revenge on people's blows on Axl, every time I write something somewhere. I understand you're sick, I guess you should all just deal with it!!

It would be cool to hear all sorts of Ideas if you're game, what you might think is going on exaclty, with Axl, and his way of making things happen. Since true fans cannot write about the concerts at this point right now! Might as well think of what might be happening in the greatest leader of Rock N Roll, ..."Axl Rose.

...I bet that pissed someone off!! Ha!

December 8, 2002

;D

Well here is what happened from my point of view.

We drove from Ohio. Excited, and ready to see another show I was. I was lucky enough to see the show in Cleveland, so I bought tickets to the Dec 6th show for myself and some friends who drove us there.

Well, we never been to Philly, and never been to this Union Center either. 10 hours later, we finally find the place, thinking we are late, we see several people walking out of the building. The first thing on my mind was maybe they only played a short concert this time? ...and we missed it!!!

NOT THE CASE! I screamed out my car window to a couple walking to their car. "Hey! Hey! Where are you two coming from!!?:

They say, "The Guns N Roses Concert, but they never showed!" they were a laid back couple, understanding, and more responsible than I would say, the rest of the place!! So was like, "You're kidding!", "Well, I guess were not late then!!" ...and so they laughed!

So now, I thinking to myself. Well, there's only one other thing that can happen now! ...and that's a riot!!!

My friends weren't too cool on sticking around, but I had to take care of some business of my own inside. I tell my friends to pull around in front of the Union, and I get out and go inside. Many people are standing around at this point, pissed off, and screaming! Cops, security at the time were doing nothing but waiting for something to happen.

I walk in the Union, and there is a line about fourty people long, with many other people just spread out, looking around, waiting for something to happen. A very tense moment at this time right now, It was like a bomb was in the building the way the staff and Union security were acting at this point.

I walk over to a staff member and start asking question, about my own stuff, and what was going on exactly. He pointed out in his words, "We had a call in, that Axl might not be coming, but not to excite the crowd or mention anything of this" Well, the crowd figured it out on their own, without this being said anyway, I was thinking! He was nervous as hell, staying close to the selling zone he was at, ready to close the steel door down. So then I asked him a few other questions, and he answered them, and finally shut the steel door down and went inside. A few seconds late, some kids start pounding on it, then move on.

I get in line thinking I'm going to get a refund, everyone thought they would get a refund in this line, which wasn't true coming from the staff. I was talking to two girls in the line, and they were telling me how they were waiting to see something happen!

Well, things were happening. Chairs were being thrown, and stolen, objects were being flung, and a couple other kids tried to lift a statue, with no luck.

Well the line wating was getting old for me by now, so I just cut to the very front, and asked the staff what was up with refunds. They kindly answered my question, with all the chaos going on, and I took my answers and left out the door I came in. As I walked out, a guy comes runnning out shouting to his buddies, "Axl rose or one of the band members is sick!" I stuck around a few more seconds to listen to this, and went looking for my driver. A few more cops were standing in the street by this time, and I get to my ride, and they're ready to get the heck out of here!

I was still in denial as we were leaving and even when we stopped at a rest area. I couldn't believe we just drove all this way, and Guns N Roses cancel!!! WOW! I should of known this would happen, I kept telling myself. It's just too good to be true to have great seats, and enter another great show without any problems. So then, this girl come up to me in the rest area as I'm thinking about all this, and talking about it with a friend of mine, and she's like... "Did you go to the Guns N Roses concert!?" I was like yeah, some concert huh? she scream" Yeah, I HATE AXL ROSE!!!" I start laughing and move about my business, as the crazy chick keeps screamin' about cars blowing up, and police with riot gear.

I'm still a true fan, not pissed at Axl or the band, but would of liked to take out a few fans, after hearing how bad it got. There is no excuse for this, when you get your FUCKING MONEY BACK!!! YOU STUPID PUNK FAGGITS!!! I would give anything to be back there, without the friends I brought, just to take some low lifes out that were hitting people and the clean up crews trying to do they're jobs. I told one drunk ass bitch to shut the hell up, when she came up to the guy I was trying to ask a question too, and started blaming him for Guns not showing up. STUPID BITCH!!! I should of hit you over the head with the chairs flying around!

I didn't realize how many cowards of GNR fans there is out there. I hope you all get beat the hell out of someday!!!

I could understand anger if you didn't get a refund, but I drove 10 HOURS with my friends who aren't even real fans, and had no problem with it, knowing we were getting REFUNDS!!!

NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF PUSSYS!!!

The only way you will ever understand this, is to try and catch a show!

Axl Rose isn't a robot! He can't just perform like your cd you put in your player! You idiots! Let me see you go out there and do what he does!!! You wouldn't last seven seconds into a song, because you would either lose your voice, or rip a cord stupids! Stop being so damn ignorant fad-fans!

That's all, thank God!

Ok!

Thanks for the replies!

I will post a review of the concert if the snow dosen't hold us back from getting there!

November 29, 2002

Anyone know the address of the UNION CENTER in PA for the concert coming up this Friday, Please post it here.

Thanks!

November 24, 2002

Mega_Music! Thanks for the info!

Yes security was very tight! That's for sure! When we first got there, and showed our tickets through the gate, I was pulled aside because I brought my Wendys cup inside with me! After they pulled me aside, they asked me to get rid of it.

Then later when I went to buy some water, the cashier said I couldn't have the bottle the water came in! lol! so she put the water in a seperate cup! I'm not sure if this was because of the previous riots, terrorists, or something altogether different. I was like, "I can't have my bottled water bottled, in the bottle I just bought for $3.25"!? She's like, Not at this concert!!! No container or lids of any kind!!! LOL

Then, I couldn't stop laughing at the guards everytime I went to the restroom, or to get something to drink, because they were up your ass from the time you walked from one point, to another! It was crazy!

I wasn't so thrilled about seeing CKY either, I guess the band itself can play alright, but the singer pretty much sucks. Theres not much talent there, when every song sounds the very same. I wonder what made this lineup for opening acts, come to surface!? I think It would of been cool to see Audioslave open, just because their a new band formed of old bands. Mixmaster is good, and kept the crowd alive, but that eventually started to sound the same after awhile. The stage setup was cool for his gig.

Far as where we were sitting, we were at the club level row 22, right on the sides of the stage up one level. Right accross from you to your right. I saw those buckethead fans the whole time that were in front of you! That was cool!

Yes you had perfect seats alright! I would of definetly bought seats there, but friends of mine already had bought the tickets for us, and I didn't have to pay for them either. So it would of been sort of prick to go with someone else, buy other tickets and sit up front, even though I wanted too! Our seats had a great visual of the entire stage, it was good! I was happy with them anyway!

Yes the new songs were fantastic! They played perfect, and people were dancing to them, so that's good vibes for the album and radio play!

I wish I was still there! I hope the rest of his concerts go just as well as they did tonight!!!

This is for sure MM! Axl has let the people know....Chinese Democracy has started!!!

November 24, 2002

Well the concert at Gund Arena was PERFECT!!!!

ALL THOSE THAT SAY AXL CANNOT SING ANYMORE MUST BE DOPED UP 24/7!!! BECAUSE HE SINGS BETTER NOW THAN EVER!!!

Everything went smooth! Just like I hoped!!! He was in a really good mood! Which made everything even better altogether!!

He wore all the teams of ohio's football baseball, which was cool!

I rather of heard more Axl, then the dragging of mixmaster mike, but it was worth the wait!

Axl cracked a few jokes about people gambling on him, and them coming out here to see the new band, which was cool of him to have humor about it all.

Then several minutes into the show, you could smell POT! big time!! Axl makes a remark, sniffs in his mike, and says, "Doesn't smell like cigarettes"!! LOL

I thought someone was blowing pot out the fog machines it was so strong!!

The fireworks and pyro was awesome. The lead guitars were perfect. I don't have any complaints at all, except I didn't get an autograph! Maybe someday!

If anyone knows what buckethead was passing out! Write it on here or email me!

There was also alot of boob showing, which was a treat! lol Anyone that was showing there boobs on the big screen, write me! lol ; )

Hope all of you that could go and that are real fans, enjoyed it! I know I did, and will probably go the the PA concerts or anyones I can.

Later!
