[god of thunder]

[November_Rain]

Congrats Williambailey!

Wow! We have a Fernando sighting! 




On a more serious note, that's a cool story.

lucky bastard i solute you nice job and you could write BBF saying what you said if you really feel bad about that

but nice job

Yeah I was almost thinking of doing that.  Afterwards I thought - shit he probably thought we were really rude for not asking for his.  But it was just the whole moment you don't exactly think straight.  I had to take my mates photo twice because the first time my hands were shaking too much - lol

Fuck it, he's pretty easy to contact. Just e-mail him and say sorry!

Wow! We have a Fernando sighting!?

Yeah we actually briefly said hello to him when he came down to talk to one of the drivers as he was heading out.  He seemed like a nice guy.  He went out of his way to introduce himself to us too which I though was nice of him.

On a seperate note I wish that I had the camera setting correct to start with for my photo - if anyone is good at touching up photos let me know coz I wouldn't mind getting it blown up to put on the wall at home, but would like to fix it up a bit first.

WilliamBailey...actually, the way the pic is kind of blurred makes it look pretty cool.  If you could blur a bit more of the surrounding portion, it would appear almost abstract and give the appearance of a dream sequence type deal you'd see in a movie.  Hell, I'm still amazed.  That is so friggin cool.

so did you know you were going to meet the band or do you always just carry around a sealed copy of live like a suicide?   

[williambailey]

so did you know you were going to meet the band or do you always just carry around a sealed copy of live like a suicide?? ?

We went where we had a fair hunch that the band might be when I had heard that they were still in Perth and not leaving until the following afternoon.

So I cracked out the LLAS from its protective cover and threw it in a bag.   I also threw in one of my other LLAS's - unsealed for my friend, he brought the drum skins along for each of us and we headed down there. We had been there for less than 10 mins when Axl turned up.  Talk about perfect timing.

BBF goes - wow a Live Like a Suicide when he saw it.

[The Chad Cometh]

Oh HELL YEAH! Well in son ... fuckin well in!

On a side note ... what was on the back of Axl's jacket, cause it sure looks fuckin sweet!

[GeorgeSteele]

Unbelievable, that is an amazing story!  Congrats, man...

[horsey]

[sexkitten]

Did you introduce yourself as William Bailey?  lol  I'm so happy for you!

[guns_n_motley]

[ppbebe]

I like the blurred pic too. dreamlike. and the blurred man at the door....

Nice story thanks for sharing.

[Mr. Redman]

Cool shit man. You didn't happen to have the leather jacket with you by chance? I'm sure Axl would've been suprised to see another one after so many years.
