Small Axl mention in guitar article (Cambridge Evening News)

[Eva GnRAxlRosette]

Although, Pittman 'playing' those keyboards not plugged in, that was amusing

lol!  Wait til next show.. Chris is gonna do a keyboard solo just so the abuse will stop!   
I can see it now:  The entire band leaves the stage.  Chris comes front and center.  Someone rolls out a keyboard in front of him center stage.  Spotlight on Chris.  Then spotight switches to spotlight on the plug.  Big screen displays zoom in on plug.  Text in huge letters comes up on screen.  It reads:  "IT'S PLUGGED IN!"
Spotlight switches back to Chris who is grinning at the crowd.  Then the spotlight swiches quickly to the plug again.. .and we see Dizzy playing like he was about to unplug it... but when the spotlight hits him he stops "in his tracks" and grins at the camera and shrugs.  Spotlight back to Chris who is shaking his finger at the crowd Then Chris drops a kick ass keyboard solo on us. 

Well fuck he could just play a fucken doubleneck or a banjo for fucks sake I don't care as long as he would just play fuckin' concerts at all again!

I'm with you on that statement conny. 

But it would be kickass to hear Axl play the guitar.

No it was actually plugged in, its just a running joke around here that it wasnt because its all floppy

Actually I played a guy's PRS custom 24 at a show a while back, and it was one of the most comfortable guitars I've ever played. Granted I'd take mine that I built over it, but i have everything the way i want it. Worth the 2800 the guy spent on it though? Nah, not really.

Good for Axl, he should have the best, he the best in the business. That's why he gets the big bucks.

I think it usually true that two heads are better than one and bands are better than solo musician.
but 2heads on a same body looks rather ungainly. Is the w-necker originally Jimmy Page's invention?
Hello Kitty fender looks much normal.

Oh shit. I was convinced it was wireless. Like my keyboard and mouse.

He looked like an idiot and I don't even think it was plugged in. 

how could you possibly know if it was plugged in or not?! Gimme a break, he played to give that part of the song a "fuller" sound almost like having a chorus effect going on. And why did he look like an idiot? he was just jamming away with the rest of the band.

I agree about the look, but I'm sure I can't hear his guitar on the sound mix. I dunno why, but the mix in this whole show was really poor.

how can you tell? I just watched it and the band waits to play the instruments until Axl is ready to go. It looks to me like he is just playing the bassline with tommy, there is not much else going on there (Guitars I mean) other than the bassline and Buckethead's solo. Why wait for Axl to get set with the guitar if he's not playing it? That's all I'm saying, he doesn't do anything crazy but he must be playing SOMETHING.

How can I tell? Easy, I used my ears. He indeed played the bassline, though. But his guitar was not in the mixin'.

Also, the band  didn't "wait" for Axl or anything. This "brake" was just part of the song, as you can hear in every other performance of the Madagascar.
