Axl arrested in Sweden on June 27th

[Minneapolisnewsman]

Biting someones leg?? ?? ?I love Axl and think its very rock n' roll to get into fights and trash things/places, but biting a dude in the leg?? Reminds me of tyson/holyfield.? I hope Axl isn't becoming more wierd then cool?

If someone had you pinned down and you could not move, and you wanted to get up, would you bite someone?

So tell me...whats it like to swing from Axl's nuts....??

Axl could shoot an old lady and cut off a babys head and you would still find a way to defend him.

You do know what a security guard is right? Its not a cop. If you went to a concert and was moshing, and one of those guards pinned you down hurting you, you would not try to get him off you in anyway?

you honestly mean to tell me you think there is nothing wierd about a grown man biting someone?? Throw into the fact he is a world famous rockstar and you STILL think its not abnormal and that the average person isn't going to think hes a wierdo?? Its ok to criticize Axl....he will still love you?

You did read the part where I said I am not saying its ok he did it right? I just said I can understand why he would do it.

and did you not read the part where I said people are going to think this is wierd and odd behavior?? Do you remember how Tyson was ridiculed for biting Holyfield?? I can see the cartoon caricatures and flash videos now of Axl on all fours foaming at the mouth growling at Slash or Weiland.? Its just not bad ass at all.? if he got into a fight with security/cops or anyone, even if he got beat down, it'd be "cooler" then biting someone.? When the headline on one of the most popular sites in the world reads "Axl Rose jailed for allegedly biting man in leg" that isn't cool, its cringe worthy.

Dude, the time you spend here, purposely misrepresenting facts, and arguing is more disturbing than fighting off the cops when they have you pinned on the ground.? Really, your word games make me wonder if you are involved in propaganda efforts?? Everyone who reads the story knows what happened:? cops pinned Rose, he bit their frickin leg while drunk and resisting the Authority.? I fought the law and the law one, but I still fought them.? This one, just add's to the show, and will benefit album sales and ticket sales.? Take it to the bank.? I know this industry.

hahaha, what in the world are you talking about??? "misrepresenting facts??"? ? "propaganda efforts"?? ?? ? You're nuts.

Its on AOL.com now too.

It's called sarcasm (ie, propaganda efforts). ?Really, why do you just argue counterpoints to every thread? ?It's goofy, for lack of a better term. ? It's just funny, that you always seem to misrepresent facts, to prove your so-called point.

Hopefully, this doesn't derail the tour...

Unless this experience threw him off the deep end and he decides to...........go home!

who cares if it is a cop or a security guard.. you dont bite people... and he wasnt at a concert moshing around... he was in a hotel lobby... ?If you have millions of dollars and your band is the biggest thing in the country that night you should never have to bite someone... its all falling apart for the Waxl now....

A mult is ?a second username used when the original was banned or just hated.

Nobody that HAS posted here today knows AXl side of the story. ?

YES biting someone is permitable depending on the cicumstances. I looked it up it is in the page of life called survival. Unless some one shows footage showing axl barking like a dog, I would assume he was forced to the ground retsrained in a way that cuased pain and he was trying to get free from the pain. The human body is remarkable and under stress will react.
I know myself when I can not breath because of being pinned down I go balistic. We were not ther lets not nail the man to the cross just yet.

Oh and what do you people expect this is gnr not bon jovi. This was the norm for many years. ?

I agree. ? Think about it...Axl would not have bent down to bite someone's leg, so the security guard's leg must have been close enough to Axl's face or neck for him to bite it. ?Probably some sort of improvised choke hold. ?

For those wondering, if you've ever been taken down by a guard or guards in some sort of fray, there's arms and legs flying fucking everywhere, at times a guard  will drop a leg on you to pin you down, and it's pretty fucking common for them to get bit. If you don't know this you obviously don't spent a lot of time in seedy clubs/bars.

He was drunk, scuffled, sat in the drunk tank, and is now out of jail having paid a fine that for us might suck but for him is fucking pocket change. All he has to do is live with the hangover and head to Oslo and all is well.

Newsman, what "facts" am i misrepresenting?  As for me giving my opinion on how I feel about axl biting someone, I don't see how that is arguing counterpoints as you put it - its my opinion (and I'm clearly not the only one who thinks that way).  Just b/c I don't agree with you doesn't mean I am arguing it.  You seem to have also missed my point that I'm not saying the biting wasn't justified or that I wouldn't do it myself (especially if i was obliterated drunk) but I'm not famous and this isn't going to be read or seen by millions - biting is just considered wierd behavior - whats funny is how some of you can't comprehend that the average person will think that.  I've always been a huge Axl supporter but its ok to criticize people you admire and still be a fan.

GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose was released from a Swedish jail at approximately 7:00 p.m. Tuesday (June 27) after paying a 50,000 Swedish kronor (approximately $6,800) fine in connection with an incident early Tuesday when he allegedly bit a security guard in the leg at his Stockholm hotel.

Axl admitted attacking and threatening the guard, as well as causing damage to the Berns Hotel where the alleged scuffle took place, according to prosecutor Fredrik Ingblad.

It was unclear what caused the fight, but Swedish tabloids said the guard tried to intervene when Rose started arguing with a woman ? allegedly his own assistant, according to Expressen ? in the hotel lobby.

The 30-year-old security guard, who broke up the fight between the woman and Rose, was allegedly bitten in the leg and taken to a hospital for evaluation Tuesday morning. He will reportedly receive about 10,000 Swedish kronor out of the 50,000 SEK fine paid out by Axl.

"He was taken to the hospital this morning in order to see if there was any risk of him getting tetanus," said Antonio Saluena, the chief of the private security company employing the injured guard, according to Aftonbladet.

"[Axl] broke a mirror in the hotel reception" ? allegedly by throwing a vase at it ? "and was very upset," a witness said. "It is somewhat unclear as to why. He was also about to get into a scuffle with another hotel guest."

GUNS N' ROSES are scheduled to perform in Oslo, Norway, on Wednesday (June 28).

Beta is his own assistent, right ?!

Good news that he is out. He probably won't even think about it again untill it is time to play Out Ta Get Me like some people have been saying. Although, given the way he has (usually!) been calm on this tour, we might not hear about this incident and it will just fade away...

Important thing is that he is back out and allowed to walk the streets.

Yes, but it isn't confirmed that it was her who he was aruging with.

[Mr.Intensity]

I don't think we'll ever get the full story of exactly what happened... but it sounds like a hard night of boozing, maybe a little play in the snow, Axl beaking some skank at the hotel, a security guard probably being a little too rough, and some shit getting smashed...

I'm still riding the lollercoaster....

Rose, who had played a concert with the re-formed band in Stockholm on Monday night, was "too drunk to talk" when he was detained.

Police said he was being held in a cell unit sober enough for questioning.

The Sweet Child Of Mine and Paradise City singer suspected of attacking a security guard and threatening a policeman.

He is also said to have "caused minor damage to the interior of the hotel" a police spokeswoman said.

Either way, it sounds like he was beyond fired up and just raging - maybe its good he got busted as he might have done some serious harm to himself (or someone else).

He could have given the guard a lethal tetanus problem?

Hanna, let's just agree to disagree here. ?I do notice, though, that Axl is getting top headlines for this. ?Really, if he releases a great press release, with a killer quote about resisting authority, or a funny one-liner, this will be a great publicity move. ?To tell you the truth, though, it is great entertainment if nothing else.  That's what the world loves, they want stars to live out their dreams, so they can vicariously ride the roller coaster themselves.   This story just fuels that conduit!
