timdogvegas Posted December 14, 2002 Posted December 14, 2002 Psych Hospital!! I heard today on KOMP 92.3 in Las Vegas, NV that Axl Rose went to a Psych Hospital after Clear Channel cancelled the tour and is why you haven't heard from him since the cancelation of the tour.
Guest Posted December 14, 2002 Posted December 14, 2002 Axl rules! no way did he do that! He would just buy a doctor if he was sick!
Guest Posted December 14, 2002 Posted December 14, 2002 Actually there as an article in some Chicago newspaper days back that said he was on the verge of checking himself into some kind of psychiactric hospital...maybe this will get him back on track mentally and will get him to release that album and tour without cancellations or a psychiatrist to coax him to on stage or whatever you people have been saying. Just hope he's ok.
rbudrick Posted December 14, 2002 Posted December 14, 2002 I heard from 107.3 waaf boston that it was the chicago tribune, but I couldn't find jack on their website...--Rob
eschman Posted December 14, 2002 Posted December 14, 2002 All I've seen is an AP article that didn't really say squat, just gave a history of the band and had the opinion of some jerk from Spin Magazine. My family lives in Chitown and they haven't seen anything in the Trib!!
Axl_rose Posted December 14, 2002 Posted December 14, 2002 I found this articlehttp://www.suntimes.com/output/zwecker/cst...t-ftr-zp11.htmlIt was from earlier in the week. but I have not heard anything about it since then so I do not know how much truth there is to it.. I just hope he is ok.
eschman Posted December 14, 2002 Posted December 14, 2002 The singer himself has openly admitted he's battling inner demons. ''I managed to get enough of myself together to do this,'' the New York Post quotes Rose as telling a Madison Square Garden concert crowd last week.Can anyone who was at MSG confirm that he said this??
stab Posted December 14, 2002 Posted December 14, 2002 He has said that at a few different concerts"I guess you could call this a reunion tour"...."...because i finally got enough peices of myself together to do this" I don't think it means much. It was just one of his recent jokes. Hopefully he is ok wherever he is though.
madison Posted December 14, 2002 Posted December 14, 2002 The singer himself has openly admitted he's battling inner demons. ''I managed to get enough of myself together to do this,'' the New York Post quotes Rose as telling a Madison Square Garden concert crowd last week.Can anyone who was at MSG confirm that he said this??Yes he did say that. But it was a joke. People are reading WAY too much into it. He said he considered this "a reunion tour" because he'd managed to get enough of himself together. I took it as a joke -- and a way to take a shot at those who didn't consider the new band to be GNR.
gnrlies Posted December 14, 2002 Posted December 14, 2002 well if only we knew from axl's perspective....i want to know everyhting asbout his innermost thoughts,,.,Then we can know why he does the things he does..
madison Posted December 14, 2002 Posted December 14, 2002 Well, if Axl ever releases Chinese Democracy, we'll all probably get a good idea of where Axl's head is at and what he's thinking. As you know, most of his song lyrics in the past were biographical in nature.
Manstis1604 Posted December 14, 2002 Posted December 14, 2002 That's actually good news if it's true, I hope he did check into a psych hospital. I'I love the guy (in a rugged, pletonic kind of way of course), but he's got to have some kind mental problems to do the things he does. Maybe this will be the best thing for him and he will come out of it a better person.
gnrlies Posted December 14, 2002 Posted December 14, 2002 hopefully the psychiatrists will convince him to go back to the old guys!haha
tat2d1 Posted December 15, 2002 Posted December 15, 2002 Axl is setting himself up to be a rock legend ( if he isn't already ) . All this stuff he does will still have people talking bout him in 10 years,20years, etc........ kinda like morrison. and now if he has checked into a psych ward, it just adds to the legend. he wouldn't be the first to check himself into one ( alice cooper did the same thing years ago ). hopefully ( if it's even true ), he'll get his sh*t together. just like Slash and the other guys have said in recent interviews, Axl is a f*cking genius when his heads on straight.
Moss Posted December 16, 2002 Posted December 16, 2002 I don't know what is true. I hope he is okay. Whatever he needs to do to get himself together.
