Security(?) takes the microphone back from a fan

[Lucky]

I think it was pretty obvious from the start.

you honestly dont expect Axl to bother with all that trouble just to get the microphone?!

[Bandita]

I heard this same story as well from axlrosegnr who also went for the mic after this show and that the security guard was a real jerk.?

We need to find someone who actually caught one at another show to see if this is common practice.? I am hoping just that security guard was an ahole or something!!!

Hello, Beta here. No mic has never been returned to Axl. If security in fact took from the fan; he did on his own. We NEVER received any mic or anything that Axl had chosen to throw in the crowed. I dont know who named this topic but, my opinion is that it is pretty fucked up. I am sure that security has the mic.

Thank you for answering this!

Also, and this was posted on another forum as well:

Indian Giver is a horribly rude and racist term towards Native Americans and if at all possible it really should be removed entirely.  No need to insult anyone here except the security guard who took it upon himself to act like an ass towards the fans-

Thanks again for the answer, Beta.
Also, please change the topic title someone, I'm Native n' I don't really like the title.

hmm...i wonder what her opinion of one in a million is.

[Lucky]

take a look at the rir 5 video.
seems to me like he threw the one he used during the show

It has all become a mountain out of a mole hill.

I can see why the security would want to get the microphone back, it has to be exspensive, but then again a mic that cost that much shouldnt be thrown around.

Didn't someone say the other day, that Axl had switched to a different mic for Paradise City??  He's probably not throwing out the mic he uses for the whole show, if indeed he does switch at the end.  A live microphone costing 10,000 dollars??  His microphone is definitely expensive and it may be in the thousands and thousands of dollars, but who really knows??  Studio mic's on the other hand, can cost 10 times that.

a $100,000 hmmm does it sing by itself i seriously doubt it costs that much

I didn't make that up for the hell of it. Some of the stupid fucking studio mic's that some rappers use, are fucking expensive as hell.  I don't know why they cost so much, are they fucking gold plated or something?? But yes, I have heard of a few microphones costing 100,000 dollars. I wouldn't have said it otherwise.

^ whatever chill out....the mot expensive one I've ever heard of is like $15000 or something...got a link for this $100,000 microphone or at least know the name brand?

[November_Rain]

From A_F at MyGnr just to clear up the confusion:

Axl uses Shure Beta 58 Wireless mic's:



Not sure if this is the one he tosses though, the list price on it being $4000, that would be quite a hefty gift to a fan! 

[Neemo]

thanks bandita i was looking for that pic yesterday

Why are we believing that this is the real Beta?

Why are we believing that this is the real Beta?

I don't think anyone is that sad to impersonate her.

Anyways, I reckon it was the venue's security that wanted the microphone back and not the GN'R management.

[andypa1]

lol this is the internet dude very sad people. in the absence of a real life they can adopt a pretend one.

It was pretty clear it was the security of the venue who took the mic NOT GNR?s.
GNR have their own security and then there?s the venue?s security. I think the guy just wanted the mic for himself, it would be ridiculous from Axl to throw the mic to the audience and then try to get it back. It?s like giving a candy to a child and once he is tasting it someone comes and takes it back

Oh I wasn't upset whatsoever and I'm sorry you took that way.  But I wouldn't just make something up and post it, I never have.  I know that I have read it before somewhere and I was only making a comment about it.  Like I said before, it was definitely a RAPPER'S studio mic and I don't remember which one. I really want to say it was Master P, only because I USED to listen to a little Master P about 7 or 8 years ago.  I'm sure it was a custom made mic of some sorts and there isn't going to be a link on the internet for it, that's just common sense.  So stop trying to make it sound like I'm making this shit up and WE ARE so off topic now ONLY because you questioned a comment that I made a few days ago. Stop trying to act like that because you haven't heard about it, that it's not true. Just because the most expensive mic you have heard of is "$15,000 or something", doesn't mean there aren't more expensive. I'm done talking about it because this thread isn't even about ANYTHING NEAR THIS TOPIC.  I know it will be really hard for you, but just let it go.
