Title: What was this all about? Post by: themovieaddict.com on July 07, 2006, 12:09:27 AM (http://home5.swipnet.se/~w-52838/waxl2000_article.jpg)
http://home.swipnet.se/~w-52838/Aug15th_2000_story11.html Never heard anything about this. ??? If it's true, why wasn't a bigger deal made out of it? I'm not a newbie by any means, yet I've never once heard someone mention this. :-\ Title: Re: What was this all about? Post by: Niko on July 07, 2006, 12:21:38 AM it was true

Title: Re: What was this all about? Post by: KillYourIdols on July 07, 2006, 12:27:14 AM It was pretty fucking huge when it happened given the fact that Axl hadn't been seen in like 5 years. Notice the jersey...lol.

Post by: axlsalinger on July 07, 2006, 01:00:40 AM Yeah, this was big news around the world at the time, since it was the first Axl sighting in a long while. Gilby Clarke was playing that night at a club with his band the Starfuckers, and Axl just showed up, then went onstage to sing a few Rolling Stones tunes.
Gilby said afterward that he thought Axl was mad at him, but they had a great chat afterwards and Axl was totally cool. Title: Re: What was this all about? Post by: Layne Staley's Sunglasses on July 07, 2006, 01:06:59 AM Reminds me of the Sorum-Rose encounter earlier this year.
Title: Re: What was this all about? Post by: themovieaddict.com on July 07, 2006, 01:57:27 AM Hmm. Interesting. Thanks for the info, guys. I knew there was an article about Axl making a surprise appearance somewhere a few years ago, but the one I'm thinking of had turned out to be a fake press release written by an anonymous person and posted to forums. It also re-surfaced with edits a few months before the '06 tour was announced. I never knew about this one though.
So no audio or video ever surfaced from this? I'd just be interested in hearing what Axl's voice was like a year before '01 gigs. I just wonder at what point his voice went from the deep rasp of that Come Together duet with Springsteen to the "helium" voice of 01 and 02. Title: Re: What was this all about? Post by: Crashdiet on July 07, 2006, 02:58:47 AM I wonder why he went from pretty cool looking hair in 98-2001, to the cornrows in 2002 and now.

Probably because he thinks the braids look cool :P Title: Re: What was this all about? Post by: Six Strings on July 07, 2006, 03:13:19 AM Yeah...they played Dead Flowers and Wild Horses...I read an interview with Gilby who was pretty shocked about everything. What I can remember was Gilby saying that Axl's behaviour was as Gilby was still part of Guns N' Roses and everything was the same as it was in the yearly 90's.
