rocknroll41 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 pretty awesome!it's kinda cool how all three of those tunes became GN'R songs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) I tried to bid but it went way over my spending limit unfortunately. Wonder if Troccoli knew about it and was able to purchase it. Guess we'll know if it's on his next updated collection list. I was looking really closely at it and some other writings that are around and while I'm NO expert on the subject, it looks like that's actually Axl's handwriting on the tape, some of the letters definitely look familiar to me. That makes it a lot cooler if that's the case, to think AXl wrote it out himself and sent it off somewhere in hopes that someone would love it. Anyone else think so, or have any ideas as to whether that's Axl's handwriting on the binding of the tape? Marc what do you think, is that Axl's handwriting?

Marc what do you think, is that Axl's handwriting?It does look familiar from the copies of Axl's autograph I have seen. Marc, any ideas? If it is the bidder has got themselves a treat there.

Snowmass Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Funny how Axl is "Axel" on the tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcano62 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Yeah I noticed as well. I don't think Axl ever wrote his name that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowmass Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) Marc- can you shed any light on "Axel" Rose (spelling) of name? And Izzy- was he just Izzy before he came up with Stradlin? Edited December 28, 2013 by Snowmass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recklessroad Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 That could have been a typo or maybe he had just changed the way he spelled it. As far as Izzy, when I met him he was just Izzy the Stradlin came soon after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
