    What Is Harassment?

    in ANYTHING GOES

    Posted

    One of my students emailed me this. Haven't look into it at all other than watching it. Total douche intro, but interesting watch after that. Anyone else think the dude who does the intro must be Black Sabbath's best friend or at least one of his good pals? :lol:

    This guy walks like an absolute idiot so people more like make fun of him. Look at the guy at 0:50 - nobody's catcalling him 'cos he acts like a normal man.

    In my city it's a matter of cultural differences. The local men don't do things like that at all. They are cold and silent which is totally cool. These gastarbeiter guys from Central Asia are annoying as fuck but I can't blame them. I just wear my headphones all the time.

    Frank Sinatra and Axl--had they collaborated...

    I remember reading in TIME Magazine, while Sinatra was recording Duets, The Chairman of the Board was interested in recording a song with Axl. In your opinion, do you wish Axl and Frank had recorded a song together? What song do you think would have worked best? I'd go with "My Way."

    Vicky Hamilton said somewhere that Axl watched this version of My Way like million times while living in her apartment

    what was adler involved in that axl alludes to here

    Adler was the only no man Axl ever had. So Axl needed to get rid of him and drugs and the Erin incident was the perfect excuse

    What kind of sociopath are you that someone almost killing your wife is an 'excuse' to get them out of your life? I think most people would consider it a, hmm, I don't know.....REASON?

    I don't know the details of this story between Adler and Erin but what happened? Can someone please shed some light? Did he shoot up Erin with speedball without her consent?

    That's Steven's version from his book. Andy is Andy McCoy and "Laura" is his wife Angela.

    Andy and I were jamming in the shed when we heard a pounding at the door. I opened it, and there was Laura with Axl’s fiancée, Erin Everly.

    Erin was completely out of it and could barely stand up. I asked, “What the fuck is she on?”

    Laura said, “Nothing. She and Axl had a fight. Can you give her something?”

    “What? I ain’t giving her shit,” I yelled, and grabbed Erin, who was swaying back and forth, eyes closed. “Erin, are you okay? You better—”

    Laura interrupted. “C’mon, Steven, just give her something.”

    “What is she on? What did you give her?” I yelled at Laura.

    She said, “Steven, she and Axl went at it, so I gave her some Valium.”

    I screamed, “What the fuck is wrong with you?” Erin could barely stand so I carried her into my bedroom and set her down. “Erin, are you okay?”

    Her eyes opened slightly. “Axl and I had a fight.”

    Laura came in. “Steven, chill. I just gave her a few pills,” she repeated, not the least bit concerned.

    “How many?” I yelled.

    Erin was starting to go out and I panicked. I wasn’t taking any chances with this. I called an ambulance and tried not to freak the fuck out. I did not need to be involved in this situation. She was Axl’s bride-to-be for chrissakes. The paramedics arrived, checked her vitals, and told me they would have to induce vomiting. Before they whisked her away, they assured me that her pulse was strong and she would probably be okay.

    Later I discovered that Erin already had heroin in her system. When questioned, they said that I was the one who had given it to her. Axl called and threatened me: “I’m coming over there and I’m going to fucking kill you!”

    I yelled, “I didn’t give her shit.”

    “Bullshit!” he said.

    I was livid and screamed back, “I didn’t. Fuck you!” I hung up the phone.

    My heart raced, and I truly believed that Axl was furious enough to want to kill me. I began to fear for Cheryl’s and my well-being, so we rounded up the dogs and took off for Palm Springs. Axl told the press that I shot Erin up, and no one had any reason to believe otherwise. Not that it could do any more damage, but the guys in the band thought I was an even bigger asshole than before.

    I would never shoot heroin, or any drug, into Erin. I always adored her, and probably helped to save her life that day, but it didn’t mean shit. I couldn’t fucking stand it. I was completely miserable and my existence became even more unbearable, if that was possible.

    It seems the locals still hate Axl :lol: Someday they will have this in bronze anyway:

    No offence but if he was going to do something to warrant having a statue of him he would've done it by now and there'd be one.

    Lol yeah I don't think a bunch of 60 year old people on the city council are just sitting around saying "You know what we need? A statue of that one dude who used to live here and never really did much for our town."

    If your town's claim to fame is a rockstar, no one really cares.

    Why not? Who could be a better model for a statue than a good looking minstrel? That would be very romantic. Besides, musicians don't have to do something for their town but to sing and play and write songs.

    As if they have too many prominent songwriters who were born in Lafayette.

    The Paris PPV special

    Izzy watched this show live but turned it off at some point. He said it was surreal to see his band with Gilby. I just can't recall where did I read this.

    wow what info

    this probably was the absolute peak of gnr if not the freddie mercury appearances which happened almost concurrently if im not mistaken

    This show changed the course of my personal history.

    I started guitar trying to play along to Slash. - An older brother of mine bootlegged this on VHS from PPV Sky, it was one of my most treasured possessions as a kid and probably the first GN'R live show I ever got to see, this was before I bought Live in Tokyo 1992 Use Your Illusion parts 1 & 2 on VHS.

    can i ask what's there to reimburse?

    I assume that is directed at my question. I was only joking with Marc. At the time I think it cost like $30 in the US on PPV.

    That is very interesting that Izzy may have watched some of the show. If he did watch I am sure it was strange to see Gilby up there.

    yes dude yes

    the fact that you remember izzy watching this is very much an old school finding

    his first little back stab for lack of a better word - of GNR turning into a COLOSSAL MACHINE

    I've found it.

    Rolling Stone 1992

    This summer, former Guns N' Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin finally saw his old band mates in concert for the first time since he left the group - on TV. Like many of his neighbors in Lafayette, Indiana, Stradlin coughed up twenty-five bucks to watch GN' R's live pay-per-view broadcast from Paris on June 6th. Looking back on it now, he's still not sure exactly what he saw.

    "It was really bizarre, like an out-of-body experience," he says, a bit hesitantly, over coffee and cigarettes in a high-rise Chicago hotel room. "I didn't really recognize them all together. They had horn players and harmonicas and girl singers. Of course, I was Gilby for the night (a reference to his replacement, guitarist Gilby Clarke). It was weird, you know?"

    "I was happy to see that they carried on without me," he continues. "That's all I would hope. Those guys...'" Stradlin's voice trails off, and he gazes out the window, as if hoping to find the rest of the sentence written out for him on the choppy turquoise waters of Lake Michigan.

    Actually, Stradlin confesses, he didn't watch the entire Paris broadcast. After it was over, "I put on some tapes of my new stuff," he says. "And it felt good."

    Go to a bar full of hipsters and play SCOM...................a bar full of college students..................an old timers bar full of 40 year olds...............a biker bar............a gay bar.......................and once SCOM comes on, you'll see people swaying, singing and playing air guitar. I've never seen a song due this to such a diverse group of crowds.
