The 'Bon Jovi can suck my dick' line has already been mentioned but that whole story is filled with gold. Been a while since I've heard it but other bits of the story that made me laugh were:

'I wasn't even fighting and it took five fucking assholes to hold me down'

'These same five guys, holding ice packs on their head...'

Police officer is being a dick 'so to distract him I told him to fuck off.'

All expertly delivered around a blues jam 😂

Another one I love from back in the day is the gig where Axl is seriously pissed off as a parking attendant didn't believe he was the singer and nearly made him miss the gig. Axl changes the lyrics to ISE to refer to the parking attendant before screaming the most passionate 'fuck off' I've ever seen. Later in the gig he gives some more details about what happened.

Absolutely loved Axl/DC so in answer to the question, he was right to do it.

Will never forget hearing the first dodgy recordings of rehearsals and being blown away by how powerful Axl sounded. Then that first gig he completely knocked it out of the park and we got the stream from near the front by some woman who kept insulting the AC/DC fans .

-I've told this story a million time to friends and family that couldn't belive that i had coffee with Axl and didn't know it. he even said to me "I'll see you at the concert, I'll be in the front!" lol, yah he was in the front alright.I think he knew something was up when i was just chatting with him like any normal person and telling him i'm in town for the Guns and Roses concert and he was like "me too!" and i was like "Really? that's awesome! how many have you been to?" and he just gave me a huge smile and was like "ahh man, pretty much all of them" and i still didn't get the hint. lol, we talked about a few other things, but those were the highlights of him messing with me.

Would love it if this was genuine and a deliberate reference to the one GNR show that he missed.

When I go back and watch Axl/DC every now and then on YT he gets a fair amount of stick in the comments.

I find it unbelievable. His performances in AC/DC were phenomenal.

I personally think it's Axl doing his weird voice he uses sometimes(Sounds like the voice Axl used when he says,"St. Louis,  of all the bands in the world, this is one of them! From Hollywood, Guns N'Roses!" He says right before Perfect Crime Live. 

Anyone else see the thread title and have a moment of hope that it was Dexter?

Like the last few weeks with drones and spotlights and media inflaming things around the microphone incident had driven him to mygnr to get things off his chest 

The sheer number of costume changes he could fit into one concert during his prime.

I certainly hope someone can solve this mystery because I have absolutely no idea either lol

Sounds like 'whole different beast' to me.

Imagine being at that '91 gig before UYI was out when they opened with Coma in its live debut 

Do we have any current posters who saw them in the club days?

IIRC the side of stage clip from Giants Stadium was filmed by Marc Canter.

He's gonna take some of that money and buy a real turntable. As opposed to an imaginary one.

From Shackler's:

I've got a midget finger and there'll be hell to pay

Anyone else unable to vote due to not being able to remember a bunch of the songs? 

Will have to give TSI a listen so I can join in.

Hard to see past Estranged for the overall win based on votes so far. Four really strong songs left yet Estranged is only taking 3-4% of the vote.

I've always wondered what Tom was thinking during this performance.

At one extreme he could be thinking this is amazing, or at the other extreme he could be pissed off or embarrassed at how he's being completely schooled in how to sing his own song

Why can’t I vote this round? Anyone else have the same problem? It just says my account doesn’t have permission to vote

I think you were too late. Poll closed 40 minutes ago.

Assuming the next two rounds eliminate DH and DDM the round when we get to DC, NR and Coma will be very interesting.

Those that aren't big fans of the ballads having to pick one of two songs, whereas those drawn to the ballads being more likely to vote Coma. Potential for Coma to get voted out when if we were voting for favourite song and eliminating the one with fewest votes I think it would make the final.

Wonder if PC popularity suffers on this forum from how it is always the final song in the concert.

So many times people have been excited that something new might get played, or a deep cut had been soundchecked, and before you know it Captain America's been torn apart again.

RIP

Seeing how miserable my 70 year old parents are together I think of this as their song.

Pardon my ignorance but what is Drift Away? Never heard of that one before.

I don't know, one of them snaps "Listen to me, Axl, are you listening to me?" when poor Axl is literally in a coma. Surely that's deserving of a little misogyny as a retort.
