    Why has Axl always had terrible sound guys?

    Posted

    I've been at the Montréal's concert last January and everything blown my mind !! I don't remember any sounds issues probably they performed perfectly or too many beers in my blood so I don't remember!! :xmassrudolph:

    One of the best moment of my life !! So many artist are doing live concert by doing lips sing !! GNR give the best they can and you can feel it, live in front of you !!

    "On topic, this thread is great and should be pinned for sure. Revolver's story (like I said in the other thread where people unfortunately were too busy bringing shit up) is every fan's dream! "

    This is what I asked for since yesterday !!

    Not that I do not think it was a interesting read, but the thread was locked and should not be pinned.

    I disagree with you !!, I'm sorry but his first thread is going down and I think his thread must be kept somewhere here 'cause that is a very nice one from a very dedicated fan who won a GNR contest !!!

    Revolver's trip to Canada

    Ok !! Alright !!

    I just to put this story alive again and I would like from Mod or Admin to pinn it !! This is a blown away story from a real fan of GNR and I movin' this up beacause of what revolver had to say must be pinned here for ever ! This is soooo interesting !!!

    Edit : Revolver won a GNR contest, http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=158385

    So I noticed you guys are getting a little moody about me not posting the story right away.. must take notice of the time difference. To me I got home this morning from one hell of a ride.

    But anyways, with this being a rock n roll forum and all, Im gonna leave out the drama and the heavy details and the before- and after-stories that are involved. will have some of that though in the Rockstar Weekly thing

    Except maybe the fact that Ron Bumblefoot Thal calls me up when my original plan was to camp out in a tent in Canada (how he got my number is a part of the heavy details) and tells me I can absolutely NOT camp out in the snow and encouraged me to contact people on MyGNR. We talked on the phone for about 20 minutes but not gonna post about that.. although I have mentioned it in one post at some point but that thread turned into a yeah, Bumbles mowing my lawn right now-kinda thread lol.

    (I HIGHLIGHTED THE DAY OF BACKSTAGE SINCE THATS PROBABLY THE ONLY THING YOU GUYS WANNA READ ABOUT)

    DAY 1: Sunday 24th Jan.

    I get to Canada after a long, yes, very long interrogation by immigration at the airport (they somehow didnt buy the idea that I was travelling from Iceland to Canada for a rock show… apparently he hasnt read GNRs reviews).

    So at the airport Montrealer (moderator over at MyGNR Forum) awaits me worried that I had missed my flight since the immigration song took so long (I had these guys worrying a lot throughout the trip hahah-sorry about that)

    Hes such a cool guy and he drove me all around Montreal and we got a beer together and it was all very great and then he dropped me off at the bus station where I had to wait for like an hour and a half so I was walking around being approached by various drug-dealers seeing how I didnt look like I knew where I was and with only my gym-bag by hand.

    The rest of the night I spent on the bus to Toronto.. at least trying to fall asleep.

    DAY2: Monday 25th Jan.

    Spent 6 hours in Toronto from 6am to 12pm. I just walked around, took some pictures and a video as I did an honest attempt to run across this ice-hockey field but oh, how I slipped.

    I then took a train to London where I met with MyGNR Forum members Gunsguy and his wife, JungleCat, and Eric (administrator of the Forum). These guys along with Montrealer and Sweet_Tooth (and his friends) made my fucking trip, my year, my life! Am forever thankful to you guys!

    So anyways, we hung out and I got to stay at JungleCats apartment. We all met up again and have a few beers with more people from the forum such as Drakestar. And Eric got us all some nachos and it was just great. JungleCat and I got into John Labbats center for my first GNR show ever when Bach was doing his set. The show fucking BLEW me away!! We were by the barricade to the left but Im not gonna turn this into a review though so we went back to her place and just chatted the night away after meeting up with Eric and mr. and mrs. Gunsguy for some time.

    DAY3: Tuesday 26th Jan.

    Missed my train to Brantford but got the next one like 2 hours later.

    I get to Brantford where Sweet_Tooth picks me up at the station. I meet up with his friends and theyre all great! What is this?! Are ALL Canadians great fucking people? What the hell am I doing here for?!

    So yeah, we had a blast, even though I got Gunsguy so worried because I texted him Hangin out in Brantford and feelin weird (meaning weird after seeing Guns N Roses) and thats when my phones batteries die. JungleCat lent me another phone in case this one would run out of batteris as he did, but I wanted to save those batteries and didnt turn it on. Had no idea Gunsguy and the guys would get so worried sorry about that!

    So anyways, we hung out in Brantford, I had a smoke that made me so fuckin paranoid that I had to sleep it off lol! But after Id done that we drank and headed out for awhile, it was great!

    DAY4: Wednesday 27th Jan.

    Low point of the trip is the train ride from Brantford to Montreal. In previous train rides I had always met some cool people to talk to, but this time around the only person I spoke to was that guy taking my trash.. for 8 hours straight!

    But when I got to Montreal I met with JungleCat again and her friend. We had something to eat and then headed out to meet with Eric, Gunsguy, Montrealer and more at the pre-show GT.

    At this show I had seats. Very close to the stage though and a fantastic view! You all read the Montreal show-thread, right? The energy in Bell Centre that night couldve easily paralyzed people walking by.

    After the show we headed backstage to this room where there was free beer but people seemed to be crammed into it. Bumble, Richard and Chris came into the room to say hello and I chatted with Bumble a bit since we had spoken on the phone and through email before and he was really loving the fact that I was finally there.

    Then we headed out to the real backstage where there was free alcohol and free food, a big-ass TV!, comfy couches and the girls.. man, those girls! What the fuck was that!? They were insanely hot!!

    I was talking to Sebastian Bach and I was telling him a story from when Skid Row came to Iceland and he was loving the fact that I got up on stage (Skid Rows that is) and asked the singer what his name was when he handed me the microphone to sing the chorus to Youth Gone Wild.

    He started telling me a story from his Skid Row days but we were both interrupted by the girl that walked past us.. Bach yelled out what the fuck man?! Did you just see that?!!?.

    So I met the rest of the band there (save for Axl---yet) and they were all so nice. Talked to Bumble some more, hes always a great guy and the rest was just as great. It was weird considering I had put these guys on a higher pedestal ever since they joined GNR but meeting them made me realize how ridiculous that was cuz they were all these down-to-earth, genuinely great people.

    And Beta! What the fuck is wrong with people on this forum making it sound like shes evil and shes brainwashing Axl.. seriously, what the hell?! People on here made me kinda nervous meeting her but shes the nicest person in the WORLD!! SERIOUSLY! I just wanted to buy her a present for mothers day or something!

    So anyways, as people started leaving we were taken to yet another room where I heard Axl talking, it was intense. We met with him and I shook his hand and introduced me as Eli from Iceland and he was like oh yeah, youre the one from Iceland and he even said yeah man, I know who he is later on when Bumble came in and re-introduced me.

    Axl was telling these stories.. it was very surreal and he was talking about how he had just read the negative things being said

    ***I retracted the part where I mentioned about Slash outfits. I did specify originally that my memory aint perfect when writing my original post, would have better on my part to leave that part out so that what I write is not taken out of context by some people.****

    He talked some more and we had loads of fun afterwards and Beta hugged me saying Im so glad youve had fun Again, people shut the fuck up about Axls family, they could not be nicer!

    DAY5: Thursday 28th Jan.

    a looong way home. Got here (in Icelandic time) around 7am Friday morning and went straight from the airport to take an exam at school.. didnt go as well as it could have but I just saw and met Guns N Roses so…

    Yep Madison,

    You`re right !! I`m french cnd in Montreal and Quebec is the best place for this ! But in other hand, I was at the montreal`s concert I would appreciate to hear a little <bonjour> from him. But I`m not disapointed `bout that and anyway, to have a job here you should speak french AND english, not in Quebec city !!

    So yes, this was the best Idea or move from Axl to speak french in Quebec city instead of Montreal, wich is a little bit more american one that Quebec ! My opinion !!

    Users wanting to know where Axl found out about the French thank you well here it is:

    In Montreal Eric wanted to tell him to say it, wrote it for him and everything, then he didn't... Eric asked him later and he said he got the note but did not elaborate, so tonight he ended up doing it, Axl rocks!!!

    Exactly what I was thinkin !!! Thanks for the info !! that`s great !!!

    I`ll let the pleasure to Eric to tell his own story !!
