Cjc1706 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Was at the gig today, and it was bloody fantastic, but i noticed that Ron didnt appear for many songs and just left finck and fortus to it and then when he did come out and play he didnt look very happy. There were sound difficulties and axl walked off a couple of times for a break to get them fixed (it was the monitors that wernt working so the band couldnt hear themself play) so it may have been that that upset ron.......... who knows.... just wasnt his normal happy self tonight...... hopefully he will be up and ready to go for the next gig ..CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Studham Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 maybe too many people stopped e-mailing him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ88 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 maybe he's sick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Flower Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Maybe he's realised that a third virtuoso guitarist for a band playing songs from Appetite For Destruction is completely unnecessary.The fact that he's a ten times better player than the bands lead guitarist would also be a bummer.

quadlaser Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 i'm sure it's nothing, but if he leaves then i'll give up on gnr.if i want to listen to some good rock songs with mediocre guitar work i'll just listen to buckcherry, i won't have to wait 13 years between albums.

Rocket69 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I really think (and hope), that he will leave the band in the next weeks. Then, Izzy will back to the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stash Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 (edited) Did anyone else see Ron punch Fortus in the stomach just after mr. brownstone? They had to be pulled apart, Ron left the stage and didnt come back till KOHD had finished.Through out the rest of the show he was talking to some guy at the back of the stage and only came back on stage every so often to play his guitar soloRon looked pissed up, he had to lean against the amps a few times to keep his balance Edited July 19, 2006 by Stash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 As long as we have Pit(t)man....... But seriously, there could be zillion reasons why was he unhappy, so any speculations is just that....... nothing more...I hope that today's gig will include a few more new songs.... And of course better monitors...M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That something is the way Ron behaved. He would never in hell act that way unless something really hurt his feelings. To punch Fortus, Fortus must have done something truly awful. I dunno what is going on behind the scenes but as a BBF fan it's very disconcerting. I was really happy when he joined the band and the only reason I'm following GNR again. Hopefully whatever it is they can all sit down, talk it out, apologise and move on. But shit he's only in the band for over a month and a half and already there's a fight. The whole situation is very sad.I guess we'll find out where things are after tonight's show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
