axl got mugged ? this is what i herd this morning

[SLCPUNK]

"what the frequency Axl?"

 

We'd have a lot of suspects from this board, if he really got mugged.....

Did something like this happen in Brazil in 1991 when they played Rock In Rio 2?

Thats the way i remember it - apparently it was an incredibly expensive rolex

[killingvector]

I dont wanna come off sounding like an ass .. but if I had the chance I think I would steal Axl's ( or merck's for that matter) IPOD in a second!!! I'm sure some of the album is on it!!!

Oh and what about Paris? Didnt 4 french guys try to mug axl once? Or was it just a fight? Or am I thinking of someone else? 

Axl would just sick his cease and desist order on you before you could rob him.

Yeah, I think they were just looking for a fight. They didn't even know who he was. That was back in 1989-90 and GN'R were virtually unknown in France.

Not to be an ass......but I don't think a chatroom is probably your best source of news, especially GNR related.  I bet Axl leaves his mansion with that shotgun from the Rip magazine shoot.  He was badass in those pics.  Axl should grow the beard back out, put on the catcher's vest and kilt, get his shiney aviator sunglasses and flannel back on and kick some ass.

a while ago, someone who pretended to be Earl (Axl's bodyguard) did an interview via Email with blabbermouth (or whoever?), and he mentioned the robbery. that was the first time i'd heard about that. so most probably, the story's made up (just like the rest of the interview, they found out that he really wasn't Earl).

search the board yourself, there was a thread about it somewhere.

[sic.]

The incident in Rio did happen in '91, even though I can't find the original source for it for the life of me.

That "Earl interview" likely was fabricated, but whoever did it dropped in a lot of facts to make it more credible.

Did they steal his AXL Converse sneakers too?

I once read that Axl had a knife pulled on him in Brazil whilst out walking the streets. In stead of putting up a fight he (apparentely) handed over a ring from one of his fingers. The ring was rumoured to have been worth about $125,000.00
Reading the other posts here, maybe it was a Rolex (and not a ring thoug )

sometimes old news can be good news even if it's bad news !

[Dr. Blutarsky]

I hope they stole his braids after they took his watch.

Rumours and more rumours, for once in this "GNR story",  I would like to know, realistic information, by the way the other day I read a story of a girl who swears to have met Axl Rose in a 2002 concert, damn, everyone says whatever the fuck they want... I wish getting to know axl would be as easy as waiting him for just 3 hours.... fuck that shit... damn, sorry guys im just tired of so much speculation...
