bacardimayne Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 What exactly set Axl off so much at Rio III? I find it hard to believe that something as simple as a Slash t-shirt caused Axl to point out one guy in 100,000 or whatever it was, not to mention that security found him so quickly. He must have at least been doing something to set him apart from the crowd. Anyone know what it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma16 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I think he was wearing a "Slash is GNR" shirt and gave Axl the finger. Not sure how true that is as it may have been made up by the Axl humpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themadcaplaughs Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I've heard multiple times that he was heckling Axl/Buckethead/Robin. I haven no idea how true this is. That being said, I agree that it seems ridiculous (even for Axl standards) to find one man wearing a Slash shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansidhe Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I've got a dvd of that show though I haven't watched it in years.You can't really see the guy who gets the shirt taken off him but later on in the show (IIRC during KOHD) the camera does a close up on a lad up on someone's shoulders holding up a "Slash = GN'R" shirt and clearly wanting to be seen.

If that's who Axl was pointing at I don't blame him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source or anything for this?I'm pretty sure I remember seeing something about this before. I could have sworn I saw a video where there was a guy with a Slash wig and hat on and was waving a Slash shirt around. I could be wrong, though.

Guest NGOG Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) There's no real grounds for a conspiracy, you just have to consider the context of Axl's reaction. Axl was still relatively young and fiery. That spontaneous anger, which could be triggered by absolutely nothing at all, has lulled incredibly in recent years with notable exceptions including LAX and Dublin. Axl had emerged with a new band against a backdrop of huge media hostility, I think he probably resented what he would percieve as a naïve fan making a sweeping statement without any real insight. Clearly also the person was very persistent in what they were trying to achieve. Edited June 27, 2013 by NGOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How has there never been an interview by like the guy Axl jumped into the crowd after in St. Louis? There has. He did an interview for that St Louis riot documentary that was posted on here a few days ago. I expect though once it was settled in court he probably had non disclosure as part of the agreement. I expect all Axl's settlements have that clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Roses Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It was a girl with big tits, Axl wanted to see her naked boobs, so he asked the security guy to take her shirt off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
