Live Like a Suicide Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 It seems in response to the Travis Scott situation, many videos were shared to Reddit of other musicians taking appropriate steps against crowd surges. One of the videos was of GN'R telling fans to take a step back during YCBM at Chile, and it hit the top of the Videos subreddit, receiving 11,000+ upvotes and 600+ comments. It was eventually removed by YouTube because of a copyright claim. Now i'm not sure exactly what happens behind the scenes there, but imagine shooting GNR in the foot when tens of thousands of people have just been exposed to good internet publicity. Boggles the mind lol. https://imgur.com/a/4NgRAFK 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always see him scanning the audience too to make sure people aren't getting into trouble. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened in Argentina 2016 also during Nightrain (min 2:26). I don't see it as a "bad thing" but all the oppostie, he's taking care of his audience!

Nevertheless, he does a much better job at keeping the crowd safe, unlike somebody... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the disgusting "management" (Fernando/Beta) that enables and allows this shit. Slash & Duff are oblivious and Axl is too doped up on whatever medication he's been on for the last decade to notice.

Alexmee239 Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Just noticed that in the Selects ; Latin America , at the end of SCOM, Axl asks the crowd to take a step back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystery Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Bit off topic but the recent events and GnRs reaction to this at their own concerts reminds me of the tragedy that happened at the 2000 Roskilde Festival when 9 people died during a crush while Pearl Jam was playing There's video of Eddie Vedder stopping the concert to tell the crowd to take a step back. This incident caused Pearl Jam to cancel the rest of their European tour and according to them they seriously considered disbanding over it. Some of the band members have gotten in touch with some of the families of those who died and apparently still keep in touch. Their song Love Boat Captain from Riot Act is a remembrance of that event. Here's video of Eddie trying to control the situation, not sure if it's allowed under forum rules.
