Randy Lahey Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 He sometimes signs and greets fans outside the venue.
Tom1447 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Like signings or meet and greet? Or is he completely detached from such things?He signs for fans. I think he does it a little less because a couple years back he got hounded for autographs by people who then sold them on ebay or something?
saber_ Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Like signings or meet and greet? Or is he completely detached from such things?Looks like you weren't around when all the ebayers were hounding Axl. There were several threads w/ videos about it during the last tour. Axl signed autographs, even for the rude, belligerent people aggressively hounding him to sign shit. He even made reference to them in one of his tweets: "so over the ebayers" or something to that effect. Also, several members have met Axl, some multiple times: Sleeping Like an Angel and AxlMorris took pictures with him. So, I'd say you're completely detached from being an actual fan. But I guess it's convenient to talk shit in suggestive ways so your thread doesn't get moved to attitude. Edited October 6, 2012 by brainsaber

The Real McCoy Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 I met Axl after the Philly show. Greatest night of my life.
axlslash Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 I met Axl after the Philly show. Greatest night of my life.Quoted for truthHe's great if you can get near him. The UCAP tour was a great chance, because smaller venues have stage doors that you can access more easily. Stadiums typically have ways that buses or vans can drive in, get the band from inside, and get them out without ever being near you. If you see them at a venue with an accessible door, and you don't mind waiting until at least 4 or 5am, you have a good shot as long as he's in a good mood and doesn't sneak away.Philly was unreal. A mostly great group of guys (the eBayers were assholes, but Real McCoy, GNRSkidRow1, etc. were great to hang with), a perfect show, and meeting Axl and co. afterwards. Could not have had a better experience.
rock4eva Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 It wouldn't be fair to do the meet & greets though, the majority of fans want to meet him & wouldn't like it if some he was at & others he wasn't. Probably better that he doesn't attend any or can guarantee that he will be at every one.

vaida Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) If you happen to bump into him and you have a pen and something to sign..My guess is, he just might sign.. Edited October 7, 2012 by vaida
axlsend Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Met him quite a few times now, he is charming and funny and he does give autographs.
November_rain Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 I guess that as long as you don´t behave like an idiot he doesn´t have any problems signing autographs and stuff.

dalsh327 Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 I'm sure there will be some nights he'll be out after the shows, and nights he won't be in Vegas. He's at the point he can walk around Vegas and not have people hassle him. Of course the Pawn Stars are prob. going to be trying to get copies of AFD signed, but like what happened with Bob Dylan, might be staged for the show. If he's a fan of the show, he'll prob. be on it. I think anyone giving Axl a pickguard to be signed should be smacked in the head. Few people want to hang around waiting until the crack of dawn for an autograph that might or might not happen, but at least they're not going to be waiting outside. Maybe he'll show up for the VIPs this time.
axlslash Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Was the Dylan thing staged? I thought it was fishy that he was actually willing to sign something for someone, he's a notorious douchebag with stuff like that.
ZoSoRose Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 id bet it was staged. the whole show is. still like it though haha
ManetsBR Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) Does Axl Even Do Autographs These Days? Yes, he does: Edited October 7, 2012 by ManetsBR
NachoLZ Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Does Axl Even Do Autographs These Days? Yes, he does: :rofl-lol:
RussTCB Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 That's by far Bon Jovi's best CD.Could not agree more. These Days is far and away their best work.As far as Axl's autograph, that'd be cool to have for sure. I've always wanted to come away from a show with a mic. But ideally for me, I'd just like a solid 5 minutes with the dude to give a heartfelt thank you.
ChristmasFnatic Posted October 7, 2012 Author Posted October 7, 2012 Man, I love "Pawn Stars"!!! Though yeah it is staged. But for sure some arent right?And is that "These Days" signed by Axl legit? And yeah, best Bon Jovi album by far!
