Bevy of Hilarious Axl Rose Footage Hits the Web

by spin staff October 20,2011

Guns N' Roses are currently on the road in South America prepping for their first full set of American dates since the release of the epically delayed Chinese Democracy in 2008. Now we kind of get why Axl Rose waited so long to return to U.S. stages — when he leaves the house, unintentionally hilarious things happen (and get captured on video).

In December 2009, Rose was snapped popping a paparazzo in a Los Angeles airport the day he was set to take off for the band's first dates in Asia. He didn't look fantastic, and after his reps issued a statement about the incident, Rose made things worse by denying he'd issued the statement.

In the past week alone, Rose has been chided for his appearance and derided for taking the stage two hours late. Then the footage started pouring in.

First, Angry Axl held court in an Argentinian airport, which involved cursing and slamming a car door. Sadly this YouTube footage has been removed by its user, perhaps after Angry Axl sent him a legal notice.

Next, Axl was caught on film in a hotel lobby dishing about his relationship with ex-GN'R guitarist Slash. "It was great 'cause he would pass out and piss his pants and then I would get to be with the girl," he told fans, always the picture of class.

The third clip is the most slapstick yet, however. Rose slipped in the middle of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" in Mexico City earlier this week and hit the deck (around the :20 mark). Fans responded by throwing things at him, but Axl kept on knockin' like a pro.

I didn't see any fans throwing stuff at him correct me if I am wrong.

The first of the 'bevy of hilarious footage' of Axl happened two years ago--not very recently, buddy.

Axl falling down was funny, even Axl joked about it-- "I'm suicidal" I think he said. I didnt see any throwing stuff really. And if they did throw stuff at somebody who fell, doesnt that reflect poorly on the crowd, not Axl?

Slash probably laughed when he saw the video about pissing his pants. It was a good story, it has 8 dislikes, apparently all of which comes from journalists, out of 115k views. All of this stuff this dipshit writer uses as a weapon against Axl was lighthearted. And honestly, all it does is keep eyes on Gnr, so, fine by me. 'The third is the most slapstick yet'. No shit Sherlock - none of the others were examples of 'slapstick' humor. Good God where'd the writer of this article go to school.

Dear Axl fans. ( I am a fan myself too)

If you are honest you have to admit that Axl deserves the criticism. He is almost late with hours. In Hungary he was late with 3 or 4 hours!!! 20% of the crowd had gone by the time He arrived.

And yes his behaviour (slamming car doors, beating people at airports, biting security man etc.) is simply hilarious at the age of 50.

Do not defend him if he does not deserve it. Why doesn't he take part at the rehearsals? It is very very sad. If he goes on like this he is over. No future for GNR this way.

This article is about a friendly chat with fans, a slip on stage and a door slamming. Only the door slamming is something you could perhaps add to your "list", and even that thing was just a tiny incident. Maybe you posted in the wrong thread.
