axlrox69 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hey guys,I just wondered if anyone of you have met Axl before? I met him in 2002 in London when they played at London Arena. I found out some good info and it ended up being just me and my sister at this place. First came big bodyguard and then the man himself! He was just LOVELY! He signed a picture for each of us and asked if we enjoyed the show etc. He was just so down to earth and polite. Shame I was too awestruck to ask for a picture though.I've also met all of Velvet Revolver and have pictures with them all ecept Scott, but I was mainly bothered about Slash, Duff and Matt and they were lovely too!Julie xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy1981 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Cool...i've got some L.A guns singles from the early 80's on vinyl which is pretty cool but i never took notice of who was in it. Hmm....& i thought i knew most things on G'N'R. Good to know i still have a couple things to learn so thanks guys. Was he any good? I presume he was in the band before they got signed? Bit like the legend of the 5th beatle i guess LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnEskimo Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I met tommy once, that was pretty cool. i was wearing my GNR shirt and he signed it with "hang in there - t stinson" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysgnr Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I wouldn't say that Tracii Guns is better than Slash - just differnt (but similar) styles.Tracii seems very proud of his L.A Guns career when you see him live.I asked Tracii if it was true that he had asked Axl if he could play with GN'R when Buckethead left (id read it in a magazine a year ago). Tracii said it was true and that he had rand Axl and spoke to him - Tracii laughed about it cause he said that Axl thought he was joking - but Tracii said he was serious!That would of been cool - seeing the men who put Guns in to Guns N Roses playing with them again!I suppose it is like the 5th beatle story - I like that!

axlslash Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Though I haven't met anyone from GNR past or present, I have met one of their guests from the last Hammer show. Kid Rock did the 7th inning stretch at a Cubs game, and I got to talk to him afterwards. If you wanna talk about really cool, down-to-earth, awesome celebrities, Kid is definetly one of 'em. He was really gracious to all of us who wanted to talk to him (and there were lots!) and really took time to talk to anyone who wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysgnr Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Can i ask how you managed to get near Slash at Live 8?I was there and i couldnt get within 3 miles of the stage! slight exagiration but still.Did you get back stage?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixtus Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 (edited) ..not that he don't care..but i think w. axl rose is not into that..meetin' FANS..who just know him cause of his mucsic..makes him feel stupid....but as he is an down to earth guy..i think he's more into explore some other places on earth..talkin' to people who didn't know him..or recognize him..respect him cause of the human he is..not lovin' him cause he's an fuckin' good artist...that's what he has missed all the years when he was in public....such experiences are often better for soul and ph. condition than million dollars therapies....by the fuckin' way..where he was durin' 2003/2004/2005..beginnin' of 2006?.....any ideas?...

Jaysgnr Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I just think its nice when musicians at least sign something for a fan.I waited for an autograph from Slash and he just waved - it wouldnt of hurt just to sign a few autographs for the fans - after all most had waited for hours!Iv spent like most of the fans on this forum £100's on merchandise over the years if not £1000's - surley 10mins signing at the end of the gig is not alot to ask?Does anyone else agree that musicians should sign stuff at he end of a gig?
