Title: Anyone caught Axl's whistle? Post by: wadey on September 01, 2010, 02:53:32 PM Does anyone know if Axl uses a specific brand of whistle for the PC intro, or has anyone caught one recently
im asking because i was at the barriers at Leeds and when Axl threw the whistle it flew right by me. when the show was over i walked by the area the whistle came down and i found a whistle :o, so i figured it could have been fumbled and ended up on the floor maybe the one i found is made by SportCraft and looks to be a quality one (and its also new) i would appreciate any help - as you can imagine i wouldnt mind finding out if i got Axl's whistle Title: Re: Anyone caught Axl's whistle?

Post by: wadey on September 01, 2010, 06:46:08 PM Just been watching the november rain pro shot from reading and you can clearly see a whistle hanging down behind axl. The whistle i have is exactly the same and i will post pics as soon as i can. but then i also got thinking that the reading whistle never got used, so it will have also been used for leeds. So the whistle thrown at leeds will also be the one from reading

ive zoomed in best i can using a still from nov rain (reading pro shot) and you can clearly see the black typing on the lanyard ive taken a pic showing my whistle hanging roughly the same position and you can tell its the same whistle :beer: ive also shown a full pic of my whistle to show you all - like i already said i dont think the Reading whistle got thrown to the crowd because PC never got played, so ive not only got the Leeds whistle i think ive got the Reading one too And yes ive blown it and its the same pitch/tone etc so i think have i enough proof to be able to say i got Axl's whistle : ok: : ok: : ok: (http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q63/wadey9/whistle.jpg) (http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q63/wadey9/P020910_1900.jpg) (http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q63/wadey9/P020910_1527.jpg) Title: Re: Anyone caught Axl's whistle? Post by: svdv22 on September 02, 2010, 02:42:19 PM Lol very cool if it's indeed Axl's whistle :)
During their gig in the netherlands I was one of the first people to arrive exactly in the middle, first row. But I went to the back and picked a spot I think the microphone would end. It eventually ended 2 meters to my left, didn't get it :( Oh well.. retry in october ;) Title: Re: Anyone caught Axl's whistle?

Post by: dont_damn_me on September 02, 2010, 05:26:06 PM Wonder if anyone on this board has caught Axl's mic? I heard security will try to get it back if they see who catches it.
Cheers on finding the whistle!!!!! What a find!!!!Good eye!!! :beer: Title: Re: Anyone caught Axl's whistle? Post by: williambailey on September 02, 2010, 08:03:45 PM Wadey that looks like you definitely got his whistle - nice work!!!!
Bizzare that nobody got it when he threw it, but probably in the dark with people scrambling and moving, things just get kicked around and disappear. Title: Re: Anyone caught Axl's whistle?
