Bumblefeet Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 That sucks, I hope it'll still be a memorable gig for those who flew out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIST Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 30 minutes ago, madison said: I feel bad for Axl. It would have been really painful performing after he broke his foot during the Troubadour show, and yet he kept going and never let on about the pain he was in. That says a lot. Clearly, he really wants to do this tour and is happy being with his old bandmates again. Everyone is behind you Axl and we're really excited about this tour. Hope your foot heals faster than expected! I think the adrenaline kept him going...but must have been painful taking of that cowboy boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience 4 Axl Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I don't see where it states he hurt himself at the show last week. I'd be very surprised if that's where it happened. You'd get an "ouch", a whince, a limp, a pause, something. I didn't see any mentions of this. Cool that he's going on with the show, and I don't see this as a negative at all. He won't get winded so they'll be less trips backstage for oxygen. He'll also stay out of Slash's face. I'm expecting a good performance with his vocals like he did when he pouted in Dublin. Looking forward to seeing the videos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I've been out of the loop all day but I heard this on my drive home. The first thing I thought was how it'll do wonders for his vocals - it'll be a Dublin 2010 but where he's in good spirits and not all pissed off. That's not necessarily a bad thing when the Axl of old would have probably cancelled the entire tour. He seems motivated again, which is no doubt due to Slash and Duff. Sounds like he'll be good to go by the tour proper anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenan Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Quite often the injury (even a broken bone) does not manifest in pain while the person is still physically active. It usually starts to hurt like bitch afterwards, when the body "cools down" a little..so, it's not really surprising Axl managed to keep it up..but I believe he felt the real pain after the show..

rft2003 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I was at the troubadour show and when he went backwards he went down hard and didn't pop right back up. That was the first time I felt some concern that he hurt himself. During the first song It's so easy and then Brownstone, he was jumping on and off the riser as was Slash. This particular time he went down hard flat on his back. I though he got his foot caught and the slam of him hitting the stage was loud. He definitely was less active after that he was working on pure adrenaline but obviously couldn't do what he was doing prior. I had heard he left the show right after and went to the hospital so that rumor was obviously true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpax Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) 1. so he probably broke his foot when he slipped on stage in l.a. 2. interesting to see him just sitting? and totally focusing on his voice. edit: from tmz: The real GNR is playing its first arena show in decades tonight and Saturday night in Las Vegas. We're told the injury happened when Axl slipped onstage while singing "Mr. Brownstone" during last Friday's Troubadour show. We're told Axl knew something was busted, but toughed it out. Rock 'N' roll. Read more: http://www.tmz.com/2016/04/08/axl-rose-broken-foot-guns-n-roses/#ixzz45HGLkyTQ Edited April 8, 2016 by maxpax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience 4 Axl Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 So he did break it at the show! He's lucky it wasn't a hip. Should be healed by the time I see him. Wonder why we're hearing about it a week later. They really are taking this no press thing seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Axl to Dave Grohl treatment in the press now for breaking his toe and continuing the show...not likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatVin Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I also remember seeing vids from a show in 2006 where he was pissed off and standing on one spot. Anyone remembers which show was that? I don't mean the better vid from a festival, that's a different thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Axl posted the video of his doctor on his twitter account. What a trooper! Having the stage set constructed so he can perform with his broken bone. Thank goodness it wasn't his hip! GNR fans should be grateful that Axl is still performing. I'm sure he was in a lot of pain. But the show must go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 All the people saying Is Axl gonna show up to the tour in comments on facebook etc, Yes he is and he is even doing it after breaking his foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintari Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 This sucks but at least my show is in July and he should be fully recovered by then. And as others have said, he should sound better which should do wonders for promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbgblamf Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 HA!...such brilliant timing, is it me or does Uncle Axl do this just to make things interesting, he really does have the worse luck for tour related injury's, Gotta love Axl, always expect the unexpected.

Caught_in_a_Coma Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I spend the day barely looking at GN'R news and just now I do a google search and see Axl has tweeted, Axl has broke his foot, Axl will go on with the show, and they've released an official video of the Troubadour show. 3 hours ago, Powerage5 said: Man, he's really trying hard to get out of this reunion.

stella Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 It does remind me of what happened before the UYI tour...he hurt his foot at a warmup gig that was announced on very short notice there too. Axl was in amazing shape when he hurt his ankle/foot during UYI; pro athletes get hurt this way too. It happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
