Merck Mercuriadis has checked in with us again to update us on Guns' tour.

He says Axl and co. had fun yesterday in Lisbon, despite there being a few problems. He tells us;

"Overall it was an amazing night and an amazing crowd but we had problems with the band's monitor desk blowing up and there were many times that they could not hear. Axl had a muscle spasm probably caused by the slippery stage wings that slowed him down and gave him a lot of pain and he is working with a specialist in Milan to get through it. It was a really fun show and could have been worse all things considered and we're lucky we didn't cock it up any worse than we did."

Roll on Hungary!

Why is nothing easy with this band....... there is always something!

This was the one occassion that we could have had a decent High Definition Bootleg of an entire concert... and the bloody monitor desk blows up and we get a shit feed. So annoying!

all things considered the band seemed to have a good time last night and i guess, all things considered if they didn't have problems with the sound then, all things considered we would have a pretty good recording too.

all things considered, maybe i'm merck... or perhaps slash... or a combination of both, because slash is the only person in the world to have ever used this phrase.... ever ?:hihi:

I was gonna say it looked as if Axl was limping around at times, and when he was sitting down during patience I think it was.

Good thing the next show is only on Wednesday, hopefully he'll have enough time to recover. Well, as long as his voice is good, I don't really care if he can run around or not

merk shouldn't have revealed that Axl had muscle spasms because it makes it sound like an excuse . I don't know what he would be excusing? since? I didn't have a problem with Axl's movement on stage , the problem was the damn mix? .? merk should have just mentioned the soundboard? ?issue alone.? ? it just feeds the haters mentioning his health, makes it look like he's too old to tour? , i just think merk needs to? learn when to speak and when to shut up.

"too old to tour"? man, whoever gets that impression is an idiot, axl is 44 and looking, sounding and moving better than ever! he's in top shape and slipping while running can give anyone problems, old or young. axl still continued, we couldn't even tell he was hurt.

It is an excuse, it was clearly a sub-par performance. At least now we know why.

Something wrong with sp1at?

It seemed something was wrong with Axl at the end of the show. Muscle spasm's are not fun.

Merck hates Sp1at. Has made several negative comments about them over the years.

Making negative comments about something and hating it are not the same. "Hate" is a very strong word I think.
