GN'R Paris!!!... Tonight... 05.June.2012

Yes an article said she is a model who took the jewelry but she didn't know how or why she did it... Being drunk is certainly no excuse, if you can't handle alcohol, then just don't drink.

I'm glad Axl got his stuff back.

Well not that the missing items have been found, I feel I can comment on what I thought were pretty damn funny parts of the original translated article:

Axl Rose, lead singer of famous American rock band Guns N'Roses, last night was the victim of a theft of jewelry boxes in the Bercy Sports Centre (IBDP), in Paris, it was learned Wednesday. It was unclear precisely the circumstances of the theft was apparently perpetrated during a private concert given by the star after his concert at the IBDP in the presence of a hundred people preferred. This flight has angered the singer, said the source, requiring police intervention in her box. These three necklaces in gold and diamonds. The damage is estimated, according to the source, at $ 200,000 but "remains to be seen" and an investigation was initiated on the alleged theft.  talented composer and concert beast, the American singer Axl Rose is the only original member of Guns N 'Roses, one of the most notable of rock history.

Hilarious!

Its in the previous page but in French. Many other French media talked about it. The police have the jewels and should give them back to Axl soon.

There was no private show. I think people got confused because there might have been a private gathering after the show, during which the jewelry were stolen.


Thank God they found the jewelry.

Such a lame ass thing to do. You're invited as somebody's guest to their second home (dressing rooms, hotel room and/or tour bus etc.) and this is what you do? It's no different than visiting somebody's house and stealing from there. Just because it's an arena doesn't make it less of a violation!

Yes it was so stupid... I'm glad that lady had the courage at least to go to the police and give it back.

Cool to see you Jarmo last night, hope to see you a bit longer next time!

Thanks for the pics.

Agreed 100%. It's a privilege to be able to be invited such places and one person goes off and takes Axl's stuff... really? As if they didn't think they would get caught.

Bet they were hearing Out Ta Get Me the whole time they were stealing it!

Seriously how dumb do you have to be to do something like that? Chances are this is going to happen to her ONCE IN A LIFETIME and she screws it up and causes unneccesary problems to the band.

Good thing all ended well, hope it doesn't effect the next show or the remainder of the tour.

[Will]

Just curious, but a question to the fans who went to the show: what did you think about the opening act? I think they were pretty cool, better than the usual opening acts in my opinion.

I hope to God that this is not one of the younger models that have been invited to recent GN'R concerts.

If so, then it is disgusting, to be honest.

It does seem to me fairly obvious- you invite people to wander around backstage who aren't actually fans and are total strangers- isn't that a pretty daft idea? I wouldn't throw a house party and invite complete strangers in from the street to wander around and have a look around my house! It's asking for trouble really.

[Drew]

I hate to say it but this reminds me of something that would happen to a rapper.

Exactly.

Happy the jewelry was found and returned. I absolutely despise thieves. $200,000 worth of jewelry though? That rich 1% strike again. 

[GypsySoul]

Doesn't matter if it's worth $2 or $200,000 ... horrible horrible feeling having your stuff stolen, especially something as personal as your jewelry. 

I'm glad he got his stuff back.


unlike allwaystired, I hope this doesn't sour them on having these parties.  take extra precautions now, for sure, but ... as donny osmond so eloquently put it ... don't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch.

The fan or model/not-a-fan issue isn't relevant. Being a fan doesn't preclude you from being a thief.

I agree, that's why I said I despise thieves.

You must live in the illusion that everybody who gets a pass is a close friend or family to the band.


Also, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter if you're a fan or not. If you have some kind of morals, you would know better than to grab somebody else's shit just because you can.

[allwaystired]

Yeah, true- a thief is a thief and that's the end of it. I think by the 'not being a fan comment' I meant more along the 'lack of respect' lines.

I've been backstage at many shows, including arenas, and there always seems to be freeloaders and people out for themselves- just doesn't seem wise to be actively encouraging that really, from a security point of view. Looks like they've learnt the hard way with this theft though, sadly

So is this going to be an end to the models getting VIP passes? The band rehearsing "Perfect Crime" yet?

[jarmo]

You're saying no models should get VIP passes? How about role models? How about miniature train models?
