Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Hello All,

First off - mods - I made this a new topic, because a few people asked me to yesterday, and didn't want it to get jumbled in the other 110 page thread.

Anyways, I was the guy who told everyone here on Wednesday that Axl would be introducing the Killers (I even gave you pretty much verbatim how Jack Black would introduce Axl.)  So, although I wasn't there, my girlfriend was.  She was 1 of a couple of people in charge of the Killers, so that's how I knew what was going to happen.  Here's some interesting things:

1.  She met Axl.  He showed up about a half-hour before he was supposed to go on.  When he entered the green room, someone said "Axl, we were worried you weren't going to show."  He responded with "Nah, I just wanted to fuck with everyone to make them think that."   :hihi:

2.  He was there with (according to my gf) "an older woman" (Beta?), his "girlfriend who was super super nice," and a "blond guy" (is that Merck?).  Axl was SUPER low-maintenance backstage, and was friendly to everyone, taking pictures, signing autographs etc. before he went on.  Like I said, my gf was in charge of the Killers, and said to Axl "Hi Axl.  Would you like to meet the Killers?"  And she actually whisked him away!  He took more pictures with people, and during that time, my gf was shouting "Chinese Democracy!  Chinese Democracy!"  and Axl was nodding and laughing saying "You know it, you know it!"

3.  After the show, Axl couldn't be found, but his mini-entourage was still backstage.  My gf helped Axl's girl get a cab to get out of there.  Axl told the Killers to come to Bungalow 8 for a private after-party at 2AM!  I kept telling my gf on the phone "You gotta get us in, you gotta get us in!"  But it was so crazy there, and he already left.  Dammit.  Well, I find out this morning that Axl was having a party up in his hotel room (He actually had two rooms booked yesterday - one near the venue, and one in Grammercy, which is a real nice area).

4.  Finally, (for anyone who cares), my girlfriend said that the Killers were like the nicest guys on the planet.  Super down to earth, and really really excited to  meet Axl.  When Axl invited them to the party, they were like "Sweet!  Axl invited us to a party!  This is awesome!"  She said she felt bad for them because compared to all of the other shitty rap acts, they also were low maintenance, and just really really cool.  I always liked the Killers, but now I like them even more.

Alright, that's about it for now.  If I think of more, I'll post later.  Thanks for reading!

Merck isn't blond....  ;)

Thanks for posting.




/jarmo

thanks for the info  : ok:

Thanks for posting.  I love the '06 version of Axl.  He looks and acts much better.  He seems to be in a better place. 

The blonde guy was probably Bach.

lmao!

Thanks, at first I thought you were just pounding your chest in a "I was right" kindof way. But I read your posts from yesterday & you seem like you were just being honest & debunking alot of the "rumors" about the band playing.. Thanks for trying to keep a lid on them from blowing out of proportion and for honestly admitting you had somewhat of an inside source. ?: ok: ?Unlike all the other posters "sources" who stated otherwise..


Keep us informed in the future if you hear anything.

Bach wasn't there

and Axl had already met the killers

im pretty sure the bach comment was meant as a joke.  if it really was bach then he would not have been referred to as "a blond guy".

Dude that was a cool read, and thanks for info . 

Good stuff sounds like Axl is having fun and not taking everything so seriously these days....

the killers are a pretty cool band though, they play very English circa 1995 music. ?Although I imagine there are few that think they're any good on a gunners forum...

LP

cool info..

good stuff.  And Axl sounds like he can also be very cool to people -- we often forget that.

So Axl was lying when he said twice on MTV that he had met the Killers over the weekend?

Thanks for sharing the story. ? : ok:

Guys, you can "meet" people without it being the first time. ?Why are people still busting this guy's balls?

If you read again what I posted, my GIRLFRIEND asked Axl "Would you like to meet the Killers?"  She's not an insane fan like we are, so she had no clue that they met already. 

Geez.

Ha.....yeah dude....he met them already......so either you don't pay attention... (no aderal)...or you are a lyer.... :peace:

thank you for that info - nice one.  your lucky gf!

sounds like axl was enjoying himself and being really chilled backstage - nice one.  :peace:

cool info
thanks  : ok:

How is HIS gf supposed to know Axl already met the Killers?  Chill out guys.

Man you people are tough sometimes.

Or they just lack basic reading comprehension skills.  :hihi: Cool story dude. "Chinese Democracy, Chinese Democracy"...haha.

The reason I'm being doutbful is because when you originally posted this info you claimed it was given to you in an email from Merck.

Now your girlfriend is the source.

That's why I'm wondering about the authenticity.

Let's not interrogate the guy like he's some internations spy.  He had a cool story for us and that's it.  Why get all worked up over every little detail in his story.   Good stuff  BKinNYC   : ok:

Nice info. Thanks for posting!  :)

Thanx for the inside info!  :)

thanks Bkin for this and the posts in the other thread. 


I thought
he might be having a heavy headache from reading some fan board then when you reported that he wasn't even there yet in the other thread yesterday. :hihi:


 :o
Really russtcb? What thread? I didn't see that.

great story. however when i saw the killers being interviewed after live 8 they seemed a bit big headed and not really wanting to have a laugh.

Um, I don't even know what Merck looks like, nor have I ever spoken to him/emailed him.  So, I'm pretty sure you're confusing me with someone else.

Bald guy was Del James.

Hmmmm, hey how does it feel knowing Axl was backstage with your girlfriend??  :rofl: :rofl: HAHA, j/k man.  : ok:

What bald guy??  BLONDE guy?? 

People, instead of bashing someone who just did a service to our community, think of this.

Chinese Democracy!  We are SO close!  : ok:

yeah, he should contact loreal with that hair  :hihi:

i bet everyone wants to meet axl 2006 !!  :hihi: :hihi:

clone him and send one over, new axl is P E R F E C T

If I am confusing you with someone else I sincerely apologize.

To be honest I read sooo much of this stuff (as alot of us do I'm sure) that it all seems to blur together sometimes!

Again, I apologize if I mixed you up with someone else.

Nah, don't worry about it, russtcb.   :beer:   But yeah, I never received any inside info from Merck.  Although I wish I would!

And thanks everyone for the compliments!  Glad you enjoyed the read.

I just saw a clip on TV about Axl at the VMAs and you can see Vanessa, one of Beta's daughters, in the background.  I don't know if there was more than one girl, but Vanessa was definitely there.

Thanks for posting your inside information, and thanks for staying true to your word that you would let us know.

Can anyone tell me why sometimes I can't read peoples posts on this board?

Like with this one it showed me all of the quotes but I can't see the new message.

The person who responded put their text before the last [ /quote] so their text showed up inside the quoted text.

;D

Thank you! I saw your other post as well. Thanks again for the help.

Good read man! Thanks! Your girlfriend is one lucky lady!  : ok: Why do so many people have to judge what this dude has written and call him a lier? Its a bit off isnt it, ent ya got nothing better to do than analyse his words and call it bullshit? This is a nice piece to read which is one of many things at the moment that shows Axl in a good light! Just try and enjoy it! Mike

Thanks for that man, that made my day!!!  : ok:
You're girlfriend was lucky hey! Good to hear the Killers are just as cool as I'd thought they'd be. Axl seems a lot lot better these days.
 

Very cool read! I don't doubt any of it either.... Very cool! : ok:

or beta.

cool story! axl's a sweetie  :peace:

If only people didn't quote unnecessary bits,

Here is a followup to this Bkin report. :D
