Yeah, I've read that before. However, Axl was caught on videotape punching some guy, and it didn't look like a security guy, it looked like the guy who had the camera. I don't blame Axl at all for wanting to leave the stage, however, he never should've jumped into the crowd. Even Izzy went on record and said that was a stupid thing for Axl to have done. It isn't Axl's fault that the fans started rioting, but it is his fault for leaping off the stage and getting physical to begin with. I mean, did he really think that would make matters better? He should've just walked off and let the fans assume all the responsibility for their actions. Instead, he implicated himself, and added fuel to the fire, by leaping out and striking somebody, whether it was a security member or the asshole with the camera.
