Hahaha! Sorry but anybody dumb enough to spend $200,000 on a fucking necklace doesn't get a great deal of sympathy from me! :lol:

Not the point, really. Also, if you've got the money and that's what you want, why not? :shrugs:

Cos it's vulgar, ridiculous and looks tacky as much as anything. They always say that a fool and his money are easily parted though huh? I personally don't get the whole obsession with constantly trying to flaunt every penny you have by looking like a berk. I don't have a problem with spending cash I just think it's a bit pathetic and desperate looking. :shrugs:

When you flaunt it, don't be surprised when someone takes it. When it is worth that much to you, you'll keep an eye on it. Use your L.A. street smarts, dude.

Street smarts means not being in a crowd or a rough neighborhood. He pays for safety and security.

This would be funny as fuck if it was one of the models that lifted it.

if it any of one models put a poison on his drink Axl then he was stolen when slept?

Let's wait the investigation

If you spend $200,000 in necklaces you gotta earn more than $10,000,000 per month to have good excuse for it, IMO.

A normal person could buy a quality house and use the rest for bills for a decade. If you spend it like a fool, sure, it may not last long.

Where the fuck do you live where you can buy a house and live for ten years on $200,000? Please let me know cos I'm moving there!

Atlanta where the cost of living is above the National average.

Well over here the average house price is around $300,000 so that would leave the average person with negative $100,000 to pay the bills for a decade. I mean even without buying a house you'd never cope on $20,000 a year with any kind of life.

I think it's less being able to afford it and more to do with looking like a cross between Siegfried and Roy and Liberace's ginger pirate stunt double! :lol:

It's about 60% of that over here.

If I was invited backstage to tour with the band, I would keep my eyes open for this type of criminal activety. Just sayin' SOB would protect Axl's belongings.

Oh I bet you'd be keeping a very close eye on his family jewels! ;)

5,000. 50,000 could easily cover your essential bills for ten years. Internet, power, water and gas.

A quality home is between 100k and 150k. Average home prices are skewed by the northeast average. The average here is 150k. That would leave 5,000 a year average to pay bills.

60% of $300,000 is $180,000 which would leave $20k or $2k a year. That said, fucking hell $100,000 is incredibly cheap! Wow! :o

He prob. doesn't shower with the jewelry on, the door was prob. cracked open, she saw it, grabbed it, and threw it on. After the show, the environment's prob. a lot more relaxed, except for the crew breaking everything down. Beta and Fernando were prob. busy doing other things, they're prob. talking to the venue management about money stuff.

But losing the boots and the jewelry... prob. the same thing - jumped in the shower and they wound up wearing his boots & jewelry, or Axl was out of his dressing room and hanging with the guys.

180k is a little over the NATIONAL average but the regional average where I am is 150k. That would leave 50k for the decade. Move to the outskirts and you get a good home for the family anywhere between 100k to 150.

Power 120$ a month

water 30-50$ high usage a month

Internet 70$ for 25 mb/sec which is decent enough per month

With a gas water heater and gas stove, my gas bill never tops 20$. The winter bill is higher because of the heat but it's not as killer as people make it out to be. 70+ during the winter.

If I were to just go by my current payments for essentials right now, it would be around 250 a month. 3000 a year. Doing so here would actually net you 2,000 a year from the 5,000 a year estimate I made. Leaving enough(20k over the ten year period) to actually buy a decent brand new car.

Continue working during this time and it's easy street with any additional reasonable luxury you may want. I can honestly say after evaluation that 200,000 is quite a lot and if spent wisely, would go a long way.

PARIS — Police say Guns N’ Roses front man Axl Rose was robbed of three gold-and-diamond necklaces worth some $200,000 after the hard rock band’s concert in Paris.

A Paris police spokesman said Wednesday that the lead singer of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inducted band was fuming after the theft during a private gathering after the band’s show at Bercy stadium the previous night.

Judicial police have opened an investigation but the spokesman said it didn’t appear Rose was wearing the necklaces at the time. The spokesman spoke on condition of anonymity because of office policy.

The group’s website says they are scheduled to play in Moenchengladbach, Germany, on Friday before returning to France as part of a tour of Europe and Israel that runs through July 22.

Thanks to ThinkAboutYou for the heads up!

"you can have anything you want but you better not take it from me"

oooooooppppssss......Axl loves his jewelery. In Moline 2002 he lost a ring off of his finger and damn near had the woman who found it beat up..Security jumped all over her like ugly on a ape.i think it was forum member named Popcorn who was in the thick of it. Axl made a issue of it none the less...it was like three songs into the show maybe 4.

Axl's room is like his Fortress of Solitude, I would be freaked out because that can make anyone feel vulnerable. All these people he's paying for safety and security, 6 figures a night, and he has to be violated like that?

It's bad enough he has to worry about some crazy fucker in the crowd, now he has to wonder who's backstage that wants to take his personal stuff?

That's typically the everyday life of a celebrity. If it wasn't an issue before, I would be shocked.

Amazing how much security is in place in America.

Our Prime Minister (former) used to go for a jog in the mornings and the public would be there to call out as he ran past and someone even hugged him one day while holding a dangerous object without realising it. He would have had security but nothing to the extent you seem to have, what are the chances the general pulic could join your President on a morning jog?

Inviting people backstage for a private party when you don't know these people is a risk they take, luckily its only been theft so far.

At Glasgow he dropped a ring but he wasn't too fussed, just kindly asked for it back and a guy in a bandana kindly returned it.

It's not like he did a stage dive and someone took it off of him, or he was flying commercial and it came up short in the luggage. The biggest thing bands worry about is when someone snatches a guitar but they're not exactly the easiest thing to carry out of an arena, even if was handed to you - I wouldn't be surprised if you get escorted to your car when that happens.
