You can love him or hate him for it, 3 minutes ago via TweetDeck# but the fact of the matter is.... he's the real fucking deal. skin, blood and soul. Deal with it or not, but it won't ever change. 2 minutes ago via TweetDeck# long live rock n' roll 2 minutes ago via TweetDeck Edited August 28, 2010 by ChrisMaciel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Apollo Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Too bad it isn't the performance that is proving that Axl is still the most dynamic singer in the world - but the non-singing stuff. I wish people would be talking about their performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish people would be talking about their performance.That's because all you're reading about is the things that went on from the show from a bunch of people who weren't even there. Several people who went to the show came on and said how awesome the band was. This band has been on fire all year. Not like you care though, you're only here for the drama.

I wish people would be talking about their performance.But that's more a statement against a screwed up fans and media who looks for dirt, not good music. How many shows did you read about that were awesome Aerosmith shows vs Joe Perry shoving Steven off the stage, and Steven's fall off the stage. Did they write about how great the music sounded just before he took the tumble? Even the fans, I didn't see any threads waiting to discuss how Chinese Democracy would sound in this concert, but there sure were threads about whether he would be late or not. That's why some news outlets wait for Axl at an airport, and not at an arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Fortus doesn't come forward with statements like this very often. In fact, I don't think I have ever seen him standing up for Axl so resolutely. To me a sign that yesterday night has welded the band together like nothing else so far. I may be wrong, of course, just concluding from evidence.Thanks, Richard, for confirming it. Skin, blood and soul - the real deal. Just ask the ones who work with him.

Axl has been awesome this tour. Not like you give a shit, since you're only here to find out what ways you can try to bring the band and music down.

Judging by the reaction from the band at the end and the ensuing comments from Richard, DJ and Ron, I think this could very well be a galvanizing experience for the band.Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) i don't think there is another band out there who would consider going onstage an hour late as "having balls".C'mon, that is clearly not what he was referring to. He was referring to what happened at the end of the show. Well, at least it it clear to me.Ali Edited August 28, 2010 by Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casual Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 That's good that there doesn't seem to be any inner-turmoil in the band. They all seem cool. I respect their reasons and what they stand for and for sticking to their guns, even if I don't completely agree with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole crowd was with them against the promoter, there are few videos to prove it. Review the other thread and you will find the singing stuff and their performance.
