Chewbacca Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Didn't DJ wear his tophat for some of the show?And what would happen if the ghost of Abraham Lincoln came to a show to rock out to Civil War, would he be allowed in?This would never happen The ghost Abe would just float around and get transparent or he would just take his hat off.Abe is a gentleman, duh...

I wore my AFD shirt at the Forum show and was near a security guard the whole time and didn't hear anything from themBefore the show they had all the security guards go through the line and tell people no shirts with Slash on them were allowed in. Not sure they even cared once inside. I saw them make someone with a Slash shirt turn it inside out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yeah at the Forum the security people I talked to were suprisingly nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS11290 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) I think it's the venues precautions as already stated.But I have no idea why fans make a fuss about people who dress up like Slash. It's just paying homage in my opinion. Edited February 22, 2012 by BS11290 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabia Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yup, already read that. Its not a convincing theory though.As somebody already asked here, if Axl is so averse to the very sight of Slash, why are the official GN'R videos with Slash prominently displayed on certain thumb-nails visible on the official Guns website? That obviously cant be explained away as "venue security slacking off".Okay, you don't believe it, but that's not what you originally said. You said it wasn't discussed at all. My reply was concerning whether or not it was discussed. Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant.I used the word people and didn't mention you by name so there was no reason for you to act as if you had been called out to a duel or something. Many comments in this thread have ignored or downplayed contradictory evidence and that's precisely what I was referring to. The issue is not of my choosing to or not to believe it- the issue simply is that nothing that's been said here properly plugs the holes in the claim that the orders came directly from GN'R. Too many contradictions if that was the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I said was that you said it wasn't discussed, and I pointed out to you that it was, and then you said, "Well, that doesn't make sense." It doesn't matter if it makes sense to you or if you disagree with it. All my post was pointing out was that it was discussed. And I'm not about to get into why I don't think it's a contradiction because I'm still battle-weary from typing at a brick wall for the past few pages. And really, at this point, only Axl can give us the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBrownstone Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I really don't think the security/venue would have their own set of rules on what can and can't be worn...why would they care? I think Axl passes down a list to security telling them what he doesn't want to see, and that included top hats and slash shirts. I really don't think anyone else would care enough to try to have it enforced.They did the same thing at the Forum show. Nothing in the Vegas shows I went to. I think it really is the venue.Really?

steveysham Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Axl has the appetite cover tattooed on his arm...I think he can deal with seeing the imagery. If they had an issue with appetite they wouldn't play the songs on the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
