I Met Axl Last Night

[moondance_1]

What a cool "chance" meeting!    I'd bring it up to friends til they're sick of hearing it. LoL  I always love hearing how nice Axl is to fans,and that he has a sense of humor. Congrats & enjoy the other shows dude.

[Mikkel]

That's so awesome! Thanks for sharing your story with us!

[Tatu]

It should be a wonderfull moment

Like all the people said: Lucky Bastard


Enjoy Melbourne !

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.

I did I had that Jacket lying on the floor next to me, but as we jumped up and grabbed the other couple of things to get signed I forgot about that - D'oh!

where did you meet them?? was this at their hotel?? or did you just hang out after the show and catch them?

so, what did the drivers say about cd?? just that del said they were mixing it or something?

[AdZ]

Very very cool story.

[The Dog]

Rock on.  thanks for sharing.  Very cool story.

I bet that live like a suicide is worth TONS now with his signature....

[williambailey]

Rock on.? thanks for sharing.? Very cool story.

I bet that live like a suicide is worth TONS now with his signature....

Yeah probably a bit.  Although I got him to put my name on it when he was signing it.  If I was doing it purely to sell it, you probably wouldn't do it, but I collect GN'R stuff not for investment, but purely for my own pleasure.  This stuff would never be sold.

Also, given how many fake signatures are available every day on ebay for like 30 or 40 bucks, i think having my name on it helps to authenticate it.  I mean nobody is going to sign it themselves and put someones name on it, purely if they were looking to sell.  They would just fake Axl's signature and leave it generic.

I think I will get it framed and put it up on the wall somewhere.

did you tell him your handle was "William bailey"?? LOL  What did he think of that?

This is quite awesome, I mean we've seen other fans with the rest of the band, but for you to meet Axl and have a split second, let alone a few minutes, let alone an autograph and picture is a true rarity. Congrats to you, and that thing about him saying "Not bad for a band that hasn't released an album and a singer that can't sing" just proves that HE REALLY DOES KNOW what's been said and what we've been waiting for.

am i the only one who thinks tha tis pic is face??
i mean the arm is "see-through" and Axl's figure is like he is in another dimension

Looks to me like it is mearly overexposed ... though I am no photographer .

Dude , WAY COOL . man thats something to tell your grandkids about .
Just wondering though , do you still have your 'left nut' (do you use that expression down under ?)

Yeah it was on a setting that leaves the shutter open for a longer period (some night portrait setting or something).

Yeah we use that saying, its definitely gone and sold for last night.? It was worth giving up?

if your camara has the night portrait setting it probably has the automatic estabilisation (sp?) thing, its the little hand symbol, you put it and even if you move your hands the pic its without movement, like you said if you put some night portrait or something that leaves the shutter open for to much you need to put the camara in someplace or the pic wont be perfect .   but your pic is pretty cool , and congrats for your good weekend.

I think he knows and hes trying his hardest to get the album out. i just wonder what was said about it?

but these statements make me hopeful that it will come out.
