Gordon Comstock Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) I was at that show and the next show in Vancouver. That was all he said about all night though, just a quick thanks to Duff, and I'm pretty sure it was before they played Sorry. He didn't mention anything about the HOF in Vancouver (where Duff also opened).edit: Edited September 6, 2015 by Gordon Comstock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IZZYISGNR Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Duff has been mending fences with Axl for many years... hopefully, as a result, we can see GNR again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caught_in_a_Coma Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Duff is awesome. Love seeing him and AxlI love watching old videos of the UYI tour where Axl defends the band; like when he called a show to end after Duff got hit with a bottle, or when he used an interpretor to tell a crowd that if anyone in the band is hit with anything (or anyone in the crew, or in the crowd), he'd cancel the show. I know there are negative points to him doing things like this (causing anger, riots, ruining things for fans, being selfish), but from a positive point of view, I see a frontman defending his brothers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 The Detroit UCaP show was the day that the HoF was officially announced. Axl said something similar to this that night. He said that the honor was more for the fans than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I'm sorry but I'm not sure I understand the point of this thread..Is the OP trying to prove that Axl was cool with the old band in 2012?Always thought it was common knowledge that Axl didn't snub the hall of fame over steven and slash, rather over it being those old members burying the new lineup..

Stro Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I was at the Indy show in November of 2011 and he said something along the lines of "thanks to all the fans, thanks to the band" and went on with the show. Didn't mention any names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cool/genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cool/genuine. I agree. I remember seeing that and being like "wow surprised he said that" myself so I get ya..Even more telling, IMHO especially now with all the reunion talk and talk last year of Axl actually willing to reunite the old lineup, is his golden gods acceptance speech. Check out the clip because it's pretty telling that AXL congratulated ALL GNR lineups:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mybfCvLP-L8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I didn't realize Axl actually congratulated Duff and the guys on HOF. Interesting...Indeed! Nice find!But it was before that Axl's letter "to the HOF and whoelse it might concern".
