I know what I'll be doing for the next few days/weeks... thanks for posting that Nancy! Should be some interesting things to read...

Can't say it surprises me.... Axl is a first class @sshole. I have to say I find that somewhat humorous that he went on that message board... What a douchebag.

I heard about the t-shirt ban on local stations here as well. it seems to have been true alright. Also that they were a lot later on stage than advertised. Meant anybody depending on public transport missed a large chunk of the gig, rvhad to rely on an (expensive possible) cab to get home. I know technical issues can delay a performance ( and indeed it happened on our boys second night in Dublin 6 years ago) but surely not by that much. It must have been very disappointing for big fans of either the old or new setup of the band to have experienced that.

Unforunately, this is Axl's way of doing things, always has been, always will be! He has done it for decades. The rest of the REAL GNR band use to say it was embarrassing and disrespectful, not only to them, but definitely to the fans. As Austin so eloquently put it above, he's a real douchebag!

Thanks from me also Soda, for finding this. I cannot wait to get in there and read this!!! Can't speak for Liz or Austin, but I'd be willing to bet it's same for them, the reason I hadn't seen that before is because it's for the current GNR band and not the REAL one? I don't give the current band much if any consideration at all, except DJ, who I agree with Liz about, he's wasting his time and talent with this band. Move on DJ---you have a very bright future ahead of you. I'm surprised Nikki hasn't told you that by now. Just saying......

OMG---Only half way through the thread Nancy linked and I'm laughing hysterically. Can you imagine being on a fan forum message board and then having that artist pop in? (Side note: I had a similar situation a few years back on my Sweet message board when quite a few of us were ragging on Eric Carmen-remember him from the 70s group the Raspberries and hit song All By Myself?--I didn't know any of his so called hits other than ABM and called him a one hit wonder. Oops---he popped in and educated me. LOL)

What's funny is that while posting on this forum, he was also posting here on this forum.... http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/b...?topic=55280.0
He ended up crashing both sites. And he started some animosity between the boards... "why's he posting there and not here?", etc....

Highlights from the one Nancy posted...

Page 14, he answered someone's question of why he's always late to gigs.

This isn't to mess with anyone that has an early schedule to keep it's just personal preference.

As far as being late, I've been that way my whole life. It drove Izzy crazy but he would check himself and freely admit I was generally actually doing something that had to get done rather than watching basketball etc.

Again I say, what a wanker!!!!!

Page 22--about Steven....

Again, it's all about Axl! Geesh!!!!

Some of the dumb questions people were asking... Example: "Cherry or original flavored Nyquil?"
What's funny is he answered that question on the next page.

Several people asked him how, if and when, they were inducted into the HOF, how it would go down. He never answered. This whole coversation was in December of 2008.

Gotta laugh at how different GNR fan forum users screen names are. And the language would probably shock some. We here seem to be a bit calmer and respectful, to say the least.

Isn't it interesting how fans reacted to him though? As for Axl himself, well, it's definitely an amusing read!

Here's a story I found when investigating the whole message board thing. It's kept me entertained for part of the slow day today.

This article is from 2008.

2008 is when all the message board stuff went down. I went to the board looking for info on the shirt ban, and in the current thread discussing it, everyone kept talking about Axl posting on the board in 2008. I went looking for it and I found the threads I linked to. Sorry for any confusion!
