Yeah, for real. The YCBM rant is the angriest I’ve seen him in years. Besides him yelling at the “security fuckhead” in 2018, this might be the first time he’s stopped a song and given a “rant” since 2011 or 2012? I know he stopped the show in 2016 during Houston November Rain but he took it in good stride.

That being said rant Axl is the most classic Axl he’s sounded in forever lol.

Probably since 2010.

He yelled "Hey! Stop!" during YCBM the other day, too, at the Gold Coast show because of the drone, but the band continued playing (lol) and then after the song he called the drone flyer "a fucking cunt". It seems Aussies have managed to piss him off :lol:

Gotta wonder if his mentality is okay right now to be honest, seems to be the most angry Axl in a long time, and also gotta wonder if Slash and Duff are shitting their pants a ton right now lmao

i think he will be fine, as long as the tour continues smoothly, and there aren't more drones in his face and bad lights in his eyes and other technical issues that make it hard for the band to perform. I think Axl suggesting to use another light and quickly continuing on with the show, shows that he's not that hung up on the problem, and wants to get the problem over with as soon as possible.

I'd be pissed of too. I understand him, it must be terribly annoying, The same situation is when I'm sitting in a dark cinema and someone in front of me pulls out the phone and shines in my eyes, instead of watching f*** movie?! it's not checking the phone, because you forgot to turn it off, hell no, they just instead of watching a movie, they checking fb for 15 min?!:anger:

The contrast in that video from the high humming terrible mickey singing into his perfectly good deep and nicely toned speaking voice baffles me. sing like that. not how he's singing. He's singing like most tone deaf peoples head voice falsetto. Yet his lower range is fantastic. the switch has to come soon surely.

I run the Australian gnr fb page and 99% of people loved the show and loved seeing Axls melt down :lol: a fair few were disappointed they didn't play coma again

Doing great job with page always mate. After the shenanigans this tour though I'd doubt they will tour Australia again, if so only the usual east coast tour, Brisbane,Sydney, Melbourne type thing like most international bands now do... but I'd be surprised... with 3 incidents on this tour now, plus 50% full arena shows... it's just not worth it for them financially ay?

Are the arena shows only at 50% capacity?

Doing a great job mate!

I haven’t seen any estimates of the crowd attendance numbers - have you?

I went to Brisbane, Gold Coast and Adelaide. I would roughly guess at least 30,000 at each and maybe more than that. Hard to tell. I mean at Adelaide it looked pretty sad just before the band came on but there were still heaps of people coming in, so after they were a few songs in it was way more. I guess when you start at 7pm there are a lot of local people still coming from home after a days work. All in all I reckon the crowd numbers were good, considering the amount of artists touring these days and the cost of tickets in a world of highest costs of living.

What a way to end the week!

Flew to Adelaide Monday night.  Hit the casino.

Went to the Adelaide show in the pit Tuesday night.  Flew home Wednesday night.

Back to work Thursday and Frinday.

Drive to Melbourne Saturday to experience the Rockstar for a Day package and came home with a signed drum head.

So stoked I won that.  Great finish to the GN'R binge.

Hit the casino until about 6am this morning and came home to Ballarat today.

So tired, but satisfied.  How about my drumhead!!!!!  :headbang:

It’s just payback from when McBob got the city wrong in 2017.

This must be the angriest Axl has been on stage in over 10 years.

Which honestly, kudos to Axl because even during this rant he seemed very aware of wanting to make sure the crowd knew he wanted to keep playing and give them a good show and handled the issue pretty decently!  I can only imagine back in 1993 the rant younger Axl would have given lol
