Rodeo Drive's Walk of Style show (Feb 8th)

[Donington2007]

I don't get it.

It seems like some of you have a hard time believing that Axl actually takes time to talk to fans and is cool with that.

I believe it. i also believe the pic is real. but i also know about technology and the history of the person who runs that sie, it might NOT be real 

and i'll say it for the third time for MikeD, the millierlitehat dude who had them hold the sign is the only one with the original pic. if the sign he had them hold said something different than he has the original pic and would never let us see it. probably real. but i know tech and i know the dude who runs that site and wouldn't put anything past him. there are peopel reading this who agree with me but wont talk because his 10 friends will turn this thread into a bitchign match. which is the reason for the person who runs that site having the neg karma's and bans.

Are you trying to be smart?? ?If you guys wanna know was Axl said, read the pages earlier in this topic.

[GNR4L]

Wow after I think i've read it all on this board we got some opening act telling us that the pic MIGHT be fake.  Well it ain't but i'll tell what is fake Santa clause, and the easter bunny and the Eagles of Death Metal.

[Jackamo!]

Pics are real- no point in arguing.

He also had a 20 minute conversation with the Ax man.

[CAFC Nick]

Why the fuck would anyone fake a picture like that?

Of course its real.

[superloconoriega]

This is ridiculous. Until you guys find a picture with Axl holding a sign from the show, there is no way you can discredit us. Axl endorses EMS.

I like how your boy just happened to have the same color pen as Axl's shirt. I carry that color pen on me all the time. My graphics program does that too by the way. It's called a color probe. The part with Axl's fingertips is called masking. Photoshop does an amazing job at masking.

And yes, as long as your boy was the one who took the picture holding the sign that said something different, no one will ever see it.

hahha, only in HTGTH

and i'll say it for the third time for MikeD, the millierlitehat dude who had them hold the sign is the only one with the original pic. if the sign he had them hold said something different than he has the original pic and would never let us see it.

So let me get this straight, now the theory is that this guy did sneak into this event, and did meet Axl, and did have a picture taken with Axl holding up a sign, only it was a different sign, so he then went home and photoshopped the EMS sign into the picture on top of the original sign. ?

By the way, as Christos mentioned, there is now an article up on gunsnroses.com about this event. Finck was on lead guitar along with Bumble and Fortus on acoustics,  Pitman played bass, and Frank was on drums.

May I ask what "eat my silworms means" ?

[cotis]

it's a website, dedicated to Chris Pitman.

Actually, some people do carry that color pen, among other colors. At least I do. And plus, if it was fake, then what picture was used to photoshop this?

You didn't even read the post you're quoting. if the ems millerlite hat dude had them holding a sign that said something else and if he never lets us see the original picture then we'll never see the pic that was used. its the world of technology doublethink although it takes a person who knows about technology to grasp it.

to answer the ems issue. i just don't like the person who runs that site. probably never will. he has a history of feeding off of Guns fans' hopes and anticipations for personal gain and web site hits. he has dreamed up ways of pranking Guns fans every waking day of his life. he's banned or negative karma'ed from every bb. the fans who have had similar experiences don't try as desperately to point everyone to a web site. why not have them hold a sign that says Jackamo? I think that's a cool name and doesn't have anything to do with personal gain but would look just as cool at the ems web site. but now there'll probably be a bad pic of Axl at the ems web site for years to come holding that sign, if it's real.

Hey dude, the reason we promote our site is because we're proud of our work. ?I know I spend a lot of time getting in touch with people for interviews. ?For every 10 Questions you read, there are 100 Questions that get ignored. ?Do you think I just happened to run into Axl? ?Fuck that. ?I do my homework. ?I spent a lot of time to get there, sneak in, find Axl and wait for a chance to talk to him when I wouldn't be bugging the shit out of him. ?I go to concerts at clubs in Hollywood regularly in hopes of running into band members (well, and in hopes of hearing awesome rock and getting drunk).

So while you're spending your free time blowing up images on your fancy computer machine and making up all kinds of wild conspiracy theories about how that picture came about, people like me and the EMS team are out there actually trying to get stories for the GnR fans. ?If you hate EMS for whatever petty, bullshit grudge you have with Jackamo, then fine. ?It's your life. ?But don't try to piss on everyone else's fun. ?Make your own site and get your own stories if you're not happy.

And your story about the phantom sign with the photoshopped message is bullshit. ?I take personal offense to that because it implies that I'm a fucking pussy who doesn't have balls enough to take credit for his own site. ? I realize our site might annoy people because we interview dudes like Mick Wall and Tracii Guns (but that's not our choice... in case you haven't heard, anyone working on CD isn't allowed to talk to the press about it). ?

I honestly thought there was a good chance Axl would punch me in the face for interviewing Mick Wall. ?But I took that risk, because I do believe EMS is a cool site, and I can stand by everything I've contributed to it. ?While some things have been controversial (like mocking Merck before Axl fired him and made it okay to do so), it's all done in good fun.

[Tommie]

just to clear everything up conspiracy wise...YOU were on the grassy knoll when talking to axl right?? ?

[Jackamo!]

Yeah he's the guy with the Rush shirt, and the hat.

Out of curiousity- was everyone else dressed up?

[MotherGooseLuvR]

Oh yea.? It was a fasion awards thing!? The help staff was better dressed than I was.

Really, really disgustingly rich people over there.? I felt like taking a piss in the corner or something.? I hung out with the paparazi out front for a while.? Cindy Crawford and some guy from some TV show came out and everyone yelled for them to come over and snapped photos.? It was sad seeing all those spoiled rich Paris Hilton-esque motherfuckers parading around in front of the camerars as they got into their luxury cars.? They were all drunk and stupid.? It made me think of that Motorhead video for "Eat The Rich."

I remember asking the paprazi if Chris "Mother Goose" Pitman had walked the red carpet yet yet, but nobody knew.? Actually, I think the carpet was blue.? it was a bunch of bullshit waiting out front.? That's why I decided to sneak in.? What a good decision that turned out to be!

if u havnt read the interviews on their site..check it out its hilarious....


my favorite is the your tube in herspace game

[Jackamo!]

We have to play that "yourtube" in "herspace" more often.

[gnr_12]

why does anyone care about this pic so much? does it affect your life that much?

[Jackamo!]

^ The coolest bad ass on the forum.

While some things have been controversial (like mocking Merck before Axl fired him and made it okay to do so), it's all done in good fun.

I guess that's the difference between some of us.

I personally think it's lame to mock somebody who worked with the band.

Why exactly? Does being involved with the band give them carte blanche on their behaviour?
