Security(?) takes the microphone back from a fan

[Neemo]

No it was still different, cause the one he used for most of the show, also had a red band at the base and a little antenna...the one he used for paradise was completly black and had no antenna

ahh gotcha cheers maybe it's an older model...

Merck asked me to say that the security guard in question, if he really was one, has nothing to do with the band!

Also, Axl does indeed give away a mic each night.

because you can never have enough pittmans!

say it again when cd is released.
and No.
he changed the mike in case someone should catch a cold from the spit.
reportedly, he was under the weather at the weekend. Not that he wouldn't change it if he wasn't.

Oh yeah, i knew that....I noticed it was a Hard Rock security guard....he just wanted it for himself, or he gave it to some chick for a blowjob. ?

there was a whole episode of seinfeld that revolved around jerry's using the phrase "indian giver"
and about the security at the hard rock- they really meant business, anyone who was acting crazy got the boot and that made for a much more pleasant show for everyone else. ?general admission shows ?can be really rough. ?the audience at the hammerstein ballroom was so violent, it was hard to enjoy the show. ?it was hard to concentrate to watching the show while trying not to get pummelled by the crowd. ?it felt like i was being beat up. ?the show at the hard rock was cool. ?you could stand relatively close to the stage without being mauled. ?there was a very small area in the front center where guys were kind of slamming around, but aside from that it was all cool. ?

Yea, they were hard to miss, they were all dressed exactly the same and the size of Sasquatch.

Good to know it has nothing to do with the band though.

Yea, I watched them drag at least 10-12 people over the rail and kick them out during the course of the show.  Not sure what the people were doing though, I think a few were just taking photos.  The crowd was definitely way more relaxed than Hammerstein.

I knew that would be the case... Cool that Merck addressed it!

[Neemo]

oops i just saw Jarmo's post now but it's weird the security looks for it on a regular basis

[give_it_a_rest]

In Nijmegen Axl had a mic with a red cap all the time, and he threw away a complete black (cheap) one, changed it in the last minute of PC like I said before.

dont be so defensive.
pittman doesnt need you to defend him.

it was a joke. get used to it. internet forums are a place that people go to to have fun.
I love pittman, but still I like pit(t)man jokes.

[ppbebe]

I'm not defending him.
that kinda joke is not my idea of fun.  it's very old to start with.

[Lucky]

many people still find it amusing.
try making puttman jokes your self, and you'll learn to appreciate other people's jokes. thats how I started

[Steel_Angel]

i see a lot of axl mic's on ebay, maybe the punk ass security just wanna make cash  (seriously)

and pittmans the shit, he's teh reason why i prefer gnr more than VR or any other bands.//

I really didn't get how funny Pitman was until I watched him both nights in Vegas. ?He spent most of the show sitting on the floor indian style which I found hysterical and on the 16th he was sort of dressed like Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean.? He is a character for sure!!

On topic, I hope GNR/Management do something in the future about the actions of security guards in the shows and the mic incidents being that they are now fully aware of what went down at this show!

Really?  Is there a current link for the Vegas one because I will report that for sure!

great! He bothers to write about the microphone (the lamest thread in ages), but when we ask about Axl's shoe size or toilet paper he says "no comment".


I know that you are going to say, "you people bitch when there's no comment and now when you get a comment, you still bitch".
I want a comment, but not about the bloody microphone that some guy forgot to put in his pants!!!


it's like catching a golden fish, and she offers you a golden fish sandwitch.

[grog mug]

I remember a guy walking out with the mic in Vegas (dec 29, 2001)...I also remember an EBAY auction showing some fan selling the mic he caught from Axl.? If it was me it would be kept forever and passed down...def. not sold!

Unlike Axl's shoe size this was actually an incident and people were struck/kicked by this security guard. ?For one I am glad he took the time out to comment on this. ?I could care less what size Axl's shoes are or what he uses to wipe his behind.

You think fans getting accosted by security at a show is a lame topic but Axl's shoe size is worthy? I have to just shake my head over here.

well you might earn more if you sell it as a sex toy... or a dildo.

it even comes with Axl's DNA. some ladies would pay for that quite a bit
