Little EMO Annie

I like Sharon Osbourne alot, but I think she is friends with PERLa, Slash's wife. I think Sharon would try a push for a reunion of the original GNR lineup to make a ton of cash, and that would piss Axl off.

FYI I saw Twilight on TV the other night and it was AWESOME - the baseball game scene was so cool.

Are you making fun of me.

This totally sucks for Axl.

If they play Leeds, I am going to go. I just hope that I don't get hit in the head with a bottle of piss.

Scott Weialnd said the demise of VR began when the wives got involved, and I think he mainly meant Perla.

I've met Axl on several occasions. Mostly during the UYI tour 91-93. I did audio/video tech for the stage crew and we were always invited to be "part" of the tour. What I mean is... We were given all opportunities to hang with the band, families and friends. Also, opening acts, interpreters, caterers, assistants. You get the idea. Most would be like oh my god, you did that? Keep in mind it was a job. We were paid very little but had all of our accomodations and travel provided. Fun times. Lots of perks. None bigger then Axl's "theme" parties after every show. I was only part of the tour from 92-93. Been to Brasil, Argentina, all over US and Canada (Yes Montreal too) as well as Europe.Never had the pleasure of going to Asia though due to VISA requirements. Still a dream of mine. As for the parties though. Axl threw a different themes party after EVERY show! Anything from toga to masquerade. He is a very cool guy but compared to how many times we've hung with the band, it was much fewer meeting Axl. He is a very private man. He is polite but direct. If he wants to bitch, he will. Media, fans, crew doesn't matter who's around. He used to run around the staging area for exercise and just scream. His reason is too see how long he can hold a note while running. Too funny. But that's the reason I speak so highly of Axl. I know what he's all about and it pisses me off when web warriors "think" they know him or decide to blame him for the break-up etc. I was there in July 93. Those close to him say he tried everything to keep Slash from walking.

I was given this opportunity as part of an apprenticeship out of high school. The band wanted young people to train because there's a better chance of a young person not bitching about how much they make. This was an once in a lifetime opportunity. I pursued this later on. I was an Audio Recording Technician for Metalworks in Mississauga, Canada (The band recorded there for UYI but I was there years later) after going to Ryerson University. Many of you have asked why I know so much. It pisses some of you off. I am a family man now. Still love the band, still love Axl and everything he stands for. I will admit that I did stop following all the news during the long after UYI hiatus. I pursued my industry and now DJ as well. I figured this was the right time to tell the forum who I am and how much this band means to me. I still have many close friends in the industry. Universal, Geffen, SFX, Dyamex etc. I honestly feel this band has never been tighter. I never met Axl on this tour but did meet him in 2002 and 2006.

The next time ya see me tear someone to shredz in forum. Now ya know why. I live and breathe this band. Axl is truly my idol as he is many of yours. Never really liked Slash. Next to Axl and Duff. Gilby was da man. Oh and Dizzy is another character. Some of you may find this a waste. I decided to write this because of PM's I have received. The notorious Madison and Eric knew who I was before anyone else for the record!

Thankyou so much for sharing this beautiful story,

very cool! I love the Hard Rock hotel and I think that DJ is awesome! :xmasssanta:

Axl in Rio.

Wow! What a view. What a man. All in one pic

+2. So stunning.

He looks like some sort of action star or vampire killer. Swashbuckling awesome nonetheless.

He looks stunning. Like Edward Cullen's older brother.

I haven't actually met him, but last November My bro and I were driving up the canyon where the ESTRANGED video was filmed. WE were driving slow because it was scarey, and we were stuck behind a service vehicle. I was seriously wishing I could turn around, when I heard an engine rev and we were passed by a mediterranean blue sports car. My brother saw the driver. I showed him a recent pic of Axl, and he said that he was the guy. He scared me half to death, but he had a really cool car!

I went to the Midnight premier of NEW MOON last night. I loved it. My only complaint, NOT ENOUGH EDWARD!!

in addition to the beatles remasters set? you're gonna spoil him.

He's the grub of my life.

I admit that this a stupid question. I just bought the Beatles Rockband Premium bundle for the Ninteno Wii for my bro. What Wii console do I have to purchase so that he can hook up the game?

I saw her on America's Got Talent last night. It was beautiful. Celine Dion and Whitney Houston fans will love her.

I am very technologically challenged. Can somebody help me make a sig with a picture of the kid from Suite Life on Deck who was parodying Axl , in his Axl getup, and put It's tough to make an angel in the hot December snow under it. Thanks!

It's actually not bad given the style it's performed in but she's got one of those voices that if you didn't know what she looked like, you'd be thinking, hmm she sounds hot.

Then a google search later and you're scarred for life.

That's not very nice!

Have you seen her? She defines the word 'Frump'.

That's why she's a star. Her looks may be ordinary, but she has the voice of an angel.

I just ordered the BEATLES ROCKBAND Limited edition Bundle for Nintendo Wii for my bro. It looks like a good time.

I have to admit that I was a little surprised. And she is qualified, how? She's a great talk show host, but WTF?

Anyone here get both of them? If not, you're no Beatles fans.

i bought them both for my brother.

They are still taking pre-orders for the mono set at www.thefest.com. And you get a free tshirt. I hear you about credit cards and the internet. I think it's $289 for the mono set here.

Pretty funny that there's more people singing along to Sweet Child O' Mine at a Green Day concert than there has been at any Guns concert since Rock in Rio III.

When they were teenagers some of the founding members first band was named Sweet Child.

I'm glad I bought them.

I am a really nice sister.

Are you sure you're not from Alabama?

Yes, just a shopaholic. I just got on the waiting list for the Mono set.

I'm such a nice sister. I just bought the stereo set for my brother. They had a pretty sweet deal at www.TheFest.com where you get a free designer Tshirt with purchase.

Please, tell me it was a Hello Kitty shirt.

No, they bought out all these designer Beatles shirts from Bloomingdales. I actually bought alot of those for my brother. I am a really nice sister.
