cooker Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 That flashlight move is pure genius. That will really piss off those scum, ruin any valuable shots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stella Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) That flashlight move was the best thing ever. And it was nice of Duff to stop and sign for everyone. The whole "he's wearing black for Prince's death" thing, though? Um. The man is colorblind. He always wears black. They just landed, they're tired, and they didn't want to talk to a bunch of scummy paps shoving cameras in their faces. I wouldn't call that a "media blackout," just not wanting to be ambushed. Everyone hates the paparazzi...remembering reading that Marilyn Manson once walked out of LAX with "fuck you" written all over his face so they couldn't use any of the shots they got in the mainstream media. I think Axl would have *had* to fly into LAX if he were coming back to the LA area because they would have had to go through customs, but he could have been on another flight, or transferred to a private plane to get him closer to Malibu, I guess. Closest airport to Malibu is Santa Monica AFAIK, and that's all wee little private planes. Edited April 23, 2016 by stella 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofnazareth Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 It must be highly annoying to have all those people in your face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of celebrities use Van Nuys when they fly private but he might have just flown to Palm Springs because the Coachella bands are staying at resorts for the week. GNR and last year, Steely Dan, booked shows in between Coachella dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slosh13 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Not just the pap, some of the fans are just as annoying wanting autographs and photos. There is a time and place for that - and it certainly isn't at the airport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Bet most of them are just resale ebay junkies. What fan has Duff sign their Stratocaster? Edited April 23, 2016 by Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appetiteyourillusion Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) I can only imange how annoying it would be to be chased in an airport by a mob of media. There is a time and place for an interview and certainly an airport isn't one of those places. People need to respect peoples privacy and wishes to not be hounded and harassed in every public place they go into.

It makes a lot of sense that he might have just gone to Palm Springs. Flying with that huge cast can't be the most pleasant thing and they very well might have wanted to minimize the travel for him. 3 hours ago, Ant said: Bet most of them are just resale ebay junkies. What fan has Duff sign their Stratocaster? Those professional autograph dealers stalk a lot of celebrity events and hangouts. You see them with their wheelie suitcases full of memorabilia. It actually wouldn't surprise me at all if they were working in tandem with the paps and staking out the airport.

Tom2112 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I'm disappointed in myself for watching that... But the lowest of the low are those paparazzi... jesus, just let them catch their breath, they just got off their flight! It's SO, so unlikely that they would say anything much to them anyway (although as proven they will use anything, black clothes, non comments etc).
