Blackstar Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) 37 minutes ago, We love Axl Rose said: @Blackstar Do you know more about this? It was on the same day (or rather the following, since it was after midnight) Axl jammed with West Arkeen at the Scrap Bar. There is this quote from Ian Astbury: https://www.a-4-d.com/t3215-1989-08-05-new-musical-express-cult-jam-with-g-n-r See also here: https://www.a-4-d.com/t4988p30-10-1989-things-unravel#19294 Matt talks about it in his book. It was the first time met Axl. He says Christopher Walken was with them at first but he didn't follow them at the Loft, and that they jammed from about 4:00 a.m. until well into the morning, then Jamie Stewart left and Ian Astbury was puking outside.

We love Axl Rose Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) July 29, 1988 - Alpine Valley Music Theatre, East Troy, WI Notes: Axl goes off on Wisconsin's police. Axl introduces 'Used To Love Her' by saying, "this is what to do when your sweet child becomes a pain in the ass." July 29, 1991 - Great Western Forum, Inglewood, CA (Night 1) July 29, 1992 - Giants Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ Notes: The 2nd Giants Stadium show of the GN'R / Metallica tour. 'Mr. Brownstone' is started after 'Perfect Crime,' but suddenly the band breaks into 'It's So Easy.' The band gets really edgy and holds off playing 'Mr. Brownstone' until the 4th song in the set. Rare performance of 'Rocket Queen' during the summer '92 tour. For an unknown reason Axl doesn't sing a lot of lines to 'Rocket Queen.' Axl gets hit by a cigarette lighter (Thanks Andreas!) during 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door' and Duff sings the rest, the show ends after the song. July 29, 2006 - Wembley Arena, London, England (Night 1) Notes: The band arrived onstage at 11:45pm, almost 90 minutes after BFMV had finished their 35 minute set. Sebastian Bach played beforehand, for almost 50 minutes, and the crowd were becoming restless watching women in their mid 30s shed their clothes for a couple of seconds fame. At one point all the lights in the arena went off and the intro music began, like something from Jaws, with the spotlights going around the arena. Axl didnt say anything until 5 songs into the set, and mentioned that the band were running two competitions that night, the first to join them at a second acoustic performance in London in several hours, and the second being an all expenses paid trip to the Inland Invasion concert. He said that everyone who had bought standing tickets had their names taken going into the arena and if their name was called out they had won VIP passes to the acoustic show. He started calling out names, and did so inbetween a few songs, bringing Izzy Stradlin on for some cover versions of The Rolling Stones' 'Sway,' Rod Stewart's 'Sailing', and The Beatles; 'Back In The U.S.S.R.' before continuing on with their own songs. The concert ended at approx 1am. July 29, 2016 - Atlanta, GA Edited July 30, 2022 by We love Axl Rose 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_school_gnr_fan Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I don't know if this has been posted before, but I was alerted to the live version of "Welcome To The Jungle" that was played by the band on 8/01/87, where much of the official video was taken from. I'd never seen it before, had no idea it existed. Pretty cool, and Axl sounds great. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
