Just saw Axl in NYC Restaurant

[GeorgeSteele]

fuck my boss and NYC ettiquite.. if i would have seen him i would have ordered him a beer..... you should have at least taken a picture with your camera phone.... you saw him there today??? damn...

Just today; I wrote my post as soon as I got back from lunch. ?What can I say, that's just how it is in New York. ?Not one single person approached him.

And no, I seriously doubt my boss would know him. ?

[GNRslave]

Maybe he would have; I just didn't want to take the chance of him being judgmental and all. ?More importantly, I didn't want to give him any reason to go back and check my web browser history.

Good story and funny because when I get to New York Monday morning the 15th, that is where I am going to go to lunch before going to the pre party! Cool place. I've been there a few times. Axl has good taste.

[Lowrlder54]

you think hes still there? i might take a second lunch and walk over (im on 37th and 7) lol

i read some time ago the story behind that song, and if i am not wrong 53rd and 3rd was like a "gay place"
where dee dee worked to get some money in the beggining of the ramones

so dont be santding there 

[busngabb]

Was Lohan/Kravitz/John5 there?

[BLS-Pride]

Cool story. Sucks you didn't meet him. I'd go up and try and say whats up. Never know when you will get the chance to meet someone like that.

Nah, it's better to respect their privacy. If it was after a show or event, I think it would be ok to say hello; but if he is simply eating his lunch, let the man be.

When he just walked in I wouldn't disturb him but when he was on his way out I would of talked to him or at least a brief hello.

It's not often you get to be that close to someone like that especially someone as reclusive as Axl, I wouldn't of missed my once in a life time to talk to him.

[tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr]

I would go with Mr. Intenisty's idea. I would have ordered them some drinks and then if he wanted to acknowledge me, then it would be cool to talk to him. But if he was eating his lunch I would just leave him alone.

[GeorgeSteele]

The approach him / respect his privacy debate is valid on both sides. ?The thing is, I have now seen both Slash and Axl (my Slash story is the GNR highlights thread). ?With Slash, I was very drunk that night and somewhat aggressive in approaching him (to put it mildly). ?It's a very funny story, but I do regret being so aggressive because it's unlike me. ?So that experience was in the back of my mind when I saw Axl.

Cool story.

If anyone believes this Glenn dude, then George did the right thing to respect Axl:

Glenn says on 1/May/06
Gekko-its the same braids as 2002.dont know if its real or not. Bart-the whole Axl thing is a mystery again.yes, he admitted to me upfront finally about the Slash visit being true.anything else I dont know about.my friends and I havnt seen him in 2 months,despite him being here still for 3 months.I think he is hiding in someones loft.autograph dealers and photographers finally pissed him off.I gave him his space.
