Axl arrested in Sweden on June 27th

[St_Jimmyuk]

lol, what will axl do next hes always a barrel of laughs

[jazjme]

I bet Oslo gets the first real rant from Axl.lol!!!!!!!!!!

[WARose]

i think people are taking this way to seriously.....   

axl is unpredictable and aggressive... what a shock

does anyone remember the phoenix incident in 1998??

and about him being lame doing this , because he`s 44 years old and not in his twenties anymore.... it`s axl rose, not your dad.


i think there are 3 negative aspects...

1. people who read the news articles think axl is an alcoholic-rocker-has-been
2. focus in germany said axl`s voice sucked at the concert in sweden(taken from some lame reviews anyways..) most people believe that crap...
3. axl bit a security guard in his leg........... that`s really not cool..  he should`ve knocked him out or something like that... but biting is really, really weird i think.

^
they said his voice sucked?Who the hell writes those reviews?Again,his voice was fantastic

[crofty]

Does this mean there'll be  reunion? 

[TrueRock&Roll]

Hardly anyone really  takes those reviews to heart.  It's just entertainment.  This won't be a negative thing.  It's just more fuel to the publicity fire.   No one will not buy tickets for a Gn'R show because of this anyway.  It's all good

I bet Oslo gets the first real rant from Axl.lol!!!!!!!!!!

we can only hope. i luv teh rants.

[ppbebe]

Who the hell writes those reviews?

polly someone who wasn't in the show.

3. axl bit a security guard in his leg........... that`s really not cool..  he should`ve knocked him out or something like that... but biting is really, really weird i think.

and comical methinks.

I'm late on this I'm sure, but is there an updated mughsot out there yet?

You're late by two posts above yours. Only an old one is out there.

I didn't look but I'm sure it's the one I'm thinking of.

[sandman]

there's a Marv Albert joke to be made, but i'm a little too tired to think of it.

"YES!"

I have a feeling that the rest of this tour is in jeopardy. ? I wouldn't be surprised if ?there is a press release soon announcing the cancellation of the tour. ?I think we need to stop worrying about what the press thinks of these concerts . They will never give Axl a good review. ?The man is hated ?and there is nothing he can do to change that. ?If they still think Axl's voice is horrible then they will never like it because he is sounding amazing on this tour. I ?hope Axl is able to ?survive this comeback . ?People are not going to accept this new band no matter what he does ?. It is going to be interetsing to see what kind of reaction he gets from the crowd in the next concert if it's not cancelled. ?If the crowd ?gives him a hard time about the arrest ?it could get very ugly. ?They better have a shitload of security at that show tomorrow. ?

[axlroses]

It said in the olso thread that he has arrived in Norway.  That is a good sign.

I have a slight worry about this myself.

But above all else, I think that over the years we as fans have made out Axl to be very weak, in many aspects such as singing well, being able to deal with the road, this and that..

For a while there was a determined and comfortable performer that could come back strong. I don't think that all was great between band members (and employees ?) during much of the UYI tour, but they had a damn long tour and Axl was there till the end, even when his voice wasn't.

Let's give the banana a little faith this time around, good show in Norway, let's go.

not sure if this has been posted. but it sounds like this incident is already settled and behind him.


Axl Rose to pay guard he allegedly bit

STOCKHOLM, Sweden -   Axl Rose spent most of the day in a Stockholm jail cell after allegedly biting a security guard in the leg at his hotel, police said.
 
The Guns N' Roses frontman was arrested early Tuesday after attacking and threatening the guard and causing damage to the Berns Hotel, where the alleged scuffle took place, police spokeswoman Towe Hagg said.

Rose was released from jail that evening, after he admitted to the charges and agreed to pay a fine of $5,500, Hagg said.

The 44-year-old rocker was also ordered to pay $1,360 in damages to the security guard, she said.

Catarina Oscarsson, a spokeswoman for concert organizer Ema Telstar, said the band wasn't traveling with a publicist and would not comment on the arrest.

Hagg told The Associated Press that Rose was drunk during the confrontation and was not questioned by police until after he had sobered up.

"He was deemed too intoxicated to be questioned right away," she said.

It was unclear what caused the fight, but Swedish tabloids said the guard tried to intervene when Rose started arguing with a woman in the hotel lobby.

Police officer Fredrik Nylen was quoted by the daily Aftonbladet Web site as saying Rose acted aggressively toward police and had to be handcuffed and restrained in the hotel.

"He kept a high profile, so to speak," Nylen, one of the police officers who helped arrest Rose, was quoted as saying.

Guns N' Roses played a concert in Stockholm's Globe Arena on Monday night, and had been partying at a well-known nightclub before the scuffle, Aftonbladet said.

The band was scheduled to perform in Oslo, Norway, on Wednesday night.

In May, Rose and fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger capped an evening out at a new club called The Plumm in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood with midnight fisticuffs.

The scuffle reportedly started after Rose moved the drink of Hilfiger's girlfriend. According to Rose, Hilfiger, 55, smacked him in the arm and told him to put the drink back.

Rose was at the club to play a surprise set for "Rent" actress        Rosario Dawson for her 27th birthday party.

He did perform, and dedicated the song "You're Crazy" to "my good friend Tommy Hilfiger."

I still think this has to deal with some kind of a relationship problem. How many of us have gotten into a fight with your signifant other, and the only thing you wanted to do was get wasted. After you got so drunk, you were so pissed off at the world that any little thing would make you flip out. This is just specualtion maybe Axl and his woman got into a arugument, he took his sorrows out on a bottle or bottles of liquor, and ended up getting into a argurment that exculated into fighting with someone. Just a thought but who knows anything is possible.
I sure hope Axl was caught up on his rabies shots!

[LittleFly]

I've been thinking the whole thing may have been relationship based too.  We've heard about the Dianne O'Connor chick.  I was thinking it might have had something to do with her. 

It's very easy to speculate from this angle  

[axlsalinger]

Well, obviously it is a news story whenever a celeb gets arrested. Seems like the security guard interfered in a private argument and a very drunk Axl got a little upset. What exactly happened next still hasn't been explained properly. If Axl was that drunk, he probably didn't even know what he was doing, and he has never been a fan of authority figures. And if that guy took him down, it would explain the biting (at least, to some extent!).

I really don't think this is that big of a deal, I am sure Axl is a bit embarrassed by the whole thing. Hopefully the rest of the tour will proceed as planned. I see no real reason why it wouldn't.

[moondance_1]

as for the biting,i'll tell you one thing,if my arms are restrained in any way by someone,i automatically start trippin' out.first thing i try to do is bite the living hell out of the person.but,y'know that's just me.
