Could this actually be the legitimate reason the 2002 tour was cancelled?

[Immortal-Cry]

The reasons why the tour was cancelled:

- Axl was pissed off because there were red M&Ms backstage.
- Robin lost his wooden shoes.
- Axl was sad because one person didn't like the show.
- The band got a telegram saying "Great show at MSG last night stop Good luck with the rest of the tour stop". They thought the telegram told them to stop the tour.
- Brain was tired of playing Sweet Child O' Mine.
- Axl can't play in cities that starts with the letter P, W, G, T, B, H, D, A, S, L or I.
- Axl was busy downloading "Chinese Democracy" tracks on Kazaa.
- Axl didn't like any of the Philly jerseys.
- Richard Fortus was arrested for urinating on the floor and verbally abusing a stewardess on the flight to Philly.
- Tommy was busy booking solo gigs in Greece.


All of the above are very likely to have happened.

Nesquick,

Do you have a link or any access whatsoever to the entire Detroit show?

[younggunner]

Im surprised no1 has asked Tommy why Axl walked off that night.

[ppbebe]

The Flu.

[insupportofaxl]

The Flu.

See, I don't believe a whole tour would be pulled if a band member had the flu.

If that were the case, the date would be rescheduled and the tour would have resumed in a few days when the band member had recuiperated.

I wonder if it's still involved in the legal process and that is why we haven't heard the real reason yet because lawyers are still pushing paper back and forth between Axl and CC.

Nesquick,

No, sorry. I have a couple of audio from this show but no more.
Besides, I think "the flu" is what we called a "diplomatic reason" comming from Tommy to avoid more questions about what really happened 2 years ago. I don't believe it at all because Axl seemed really in form at MSG Show a couple of hours before. I think the tour ended because of intern reasons: Problems both with Clear Chanel (CC lost money) and also inside the band. I heard BH and Finck were about to have a fight, I also heard Axl had serious mental issues, that could explain why Finck put this draw of Axl on his website during a few days. I can guarantee you that Finck was absolutely about to leave the band after the cancellation of the 2002 tour.

that could explain why Finck put this draw of Axl on his website during a few days.

It seems i been livin under a rock now, what did he put on his site?

[nesquick]

back in 2002, after the cancellation: http://eddietrunk.com/news/article.php?news_id=772
For what happened with Finck it's at the end of the article. Gigger (from the Rumourboard) confirmed me it happened. Some GN'R fans saw the draw a couple of days after the cancellation on Finck's website.

Rose's chunky new build ? which he disguises by wearing baggy football jerseys - and suspiciously smooth and unlined face have made him the butt of jokes among his bandmates, says an insider. Guitarist Finck even made a collage that pokes fun at Rose by including a face with five Botox needles sticking out of it.

ahh, he posted a axl pic with botox needles, ha ha, so fun

is it still there?

btw, i got a visitor no 100000000 congratulations popup at the page,
and asked to click a link to het to the department

smells of ads...

Say, I 'm not saying that.
Likewise I don?t believe a whole tour could be pulled just because of a HS Show either.
A likely story.

However, the spiteful exclusive report carried by the biased press brought off duping many peopleS (in many languages). Damn. 

I wonder if it's still involved in the legal process and that is why we haven't heard the real reason yet because lawyers are still pushing paper back and forth between Axl and CC.

Likely enough.

[Malcolm]

I think its a whole bunch of things..not jsut 1..There was aviasly some backstage tentions with Buckethead..Axl has always had a bit of a mental issue..If they toured with a new album the shows would probaly do better...For some reason though American fans are never into it as much as European and Canadian fans are..I guess thats because they come here so few...So it was most likely a combanation of all these things

[norway]

Whatever the reason behind the corn-rowed caterwauler's latest flake-out, it may spell the end of the current incarnation of G&R.

he was right about that

[AxlFink]

what about the rumor of the party axl couldnt get into with stephanie seymour and his fur coat?  I didnt believe that one but no1 talks about that anymore.  I saw the HOB show live and he was a pretty normal guy. 

[Booker Floyd]

I saw the HOB show live and he was a pretty normal guy.?

 

Well thats solid reasoning...

[ccorn69]

look there are many suposive reason why the tour broke down but until somebody from the inside, ether a band member or axl himself actually explains what happened, no one will have a clue and everything will be just speculation; but still fuck CC

[jabba2]

Pearl Jam tried avoiding CC-controlled venues in the mid-90's when they toured, and it became nearly impossible. Thats how many venues CC has touring rights for. Its a monopoly, but GNR has to resolve with CC if they ever want to do more than small bars in the US again. GNR would mostly have to tour outside the US.

Well, if that happens and GN'R can only tour outside of USA...........how about all us Americans charter a HTGTH corporate jet and have one big support/hell of a party on our trip to Europe 

[mikegiuliana]

regardless I want to know why cky n mixmaster mike played in philly but the band that was suppose to play didn't show, which allowed people to get pissed and get loaded with beer..

At least if things weren't working out between axl n cc just quit the tour before hand or show up to the last show you are going to play.. Never should have allowed the two opening acts to play just to not show up[ at all..

And if he was sick (which I doubt he was fine at msg) he should have still said something earlier before people filled the place abnd had to listen to those opening acts, or he should have sang sick and saved face being one show ended in ruins already... Two misses in three weeks is bullshit.

I like jarmo's reason's they're more fun ...can we add it was "only red states tour reason",or did he hit a couple of blue states before that tour crashed?
