Title: Axl spotted in Santa Monica?
Post by: jarmo on January 03, 2006, 07:33:53 AM
I translated this from today's edition of Sweden's biggest newspaper, Aftonbladet (http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/noje/story/0,2789,756051,00.html):

The Greta Garbo of rock is alive.

Even if the former Guns N' Roses singer is laying low in regards of music, he still likes to show of in traffic.

According to Aftonbladet's source he stepped into BMW in Santa Monica, California the other day and bought a luxury equipped black BMW Z8 Roadster. The price was 1.2 million Swedish Krona (roughly $150000).

Greta Garbo was a famous actress in the 1940s. She became a recluse at the height of her career.

I think this is the last year BMW will be making the Z8.  I think it is around $150,000 in the US.  They will be replaced with the new Z9 that is bad ass.

No, it's not news. Just a little mention in a newspaper about something we haven't read about yet.

But maybe you'd prefer discussing his teeth and listening to GN'R songs backwards.


why is this in a Swedish newspaper??
was this the headline in a Swedish newspaper???

It wasn't a headline, just a paragraph in a section about celebrity "news/gossip".

It's a small headline on their web site though.

Regarding why it was in the paper. Because Swedish newspaper readers like reading about Hollywood celebrities and what they're doing?

I saw the pic of Axl and thought it was unusual to see him in the paper...

@jarmo:the pic? ? probably not a new pic right?....

it`s been a while since axl bought his last car......or the last car we know he bought..... ? ?i mean almost three years :o ? ? ?

does anyone remember the rumours of beta selling axl`s ferraris?

I agree.  You'd think when people see him (if they still recognize him) they'd be snapping shots left and right.  I mean shit, it's Axl Rose!  There's no way I'd let him walk by without attempting a pic of him with my phone.  Of course he'd probably try to beat your ass for it.

did he drive out of the record company parking lot garage with the ferrari?  I think they said that but I don't remember.

and i don't think he bought a lambo.....he just was seen looking at one.  So this car may be the 2nd one he bought.

I think the braids are fine most people just complain about them. Hense my sarcastic post about everyone wondering if he still has them.

I think this is the last year BMW will be making the Z8.? I think it is around $150,000 in the US.? They will be replaced with the new Z9 that is bad ass.
I'd feel sorry for Axl having to drive around in a close-out model $150K BMW if it wasn't for the fact that I'm still driving around in my 1989 $18K Nissan that I bought new.? :-\

Wasn't the Ferrari the car that Axl broke down in in California on the same night he was seen in NYC before the Tommy show?
I'm just waiting for somebody to start the thread "Match the Luxury Vehicle to the Axl Sighting" :hihi:


On the Off-Topic:? I like the braids.? : ok:

Sorry to break to ya but "Aftonbladet" isnt really the most reliable source here in sweden.
It shouldnt be considered an serious newspaper, its like The sun almost, lots of gossip and faults here and there.


posted by Panzer ....apparently someone from mygnr.com who is familiar with this paper.

so this newspaper is just a gossip page so it may not even have happened.


Title: Re: Axl spotted in Santa Monica?
Post by: Saul on January 03, 2006, 02:58:42 PM
This obviously means GNR are shooting a new video!!!

Axl got the car for the video shoot so some hot girl can be all up in the video hopping all over the car and Axl can then write the car ff as tax deductible. Oh yes!!!  :hihi:

I'm only somewhat sarcastic about this.  8)

Ho's in the new video starts now!!

Yeah, well, it's not exactly The Sun.

I'm sure if they wanted to make up gossip there are bigger celebrities that would sell more papers than Axl.

Besides, this doesn't seem that unlikely.

No sarcasm.

I've been on GNR boards since GNRONline forum and before that was on the usenet list. I guess my wait has drove me a lil insane and thats why I crack on axl so much. I really love the old and new band and axl will , to me , always be the best frontman of all time.

The Greta Garbo of rock is alive.

Even if the former Guns N' Roses singer is laying low in regards of music, he still likes to show of in traffic.

According to Aftonbladet's source he stepped into BMW in Santa Monica, California the other day and bought a luxury equipped black BMW Z8 Roadster. The price was 1.2 million Swedish Krona (roughly $150000).


And how the fuck would Sweden's biggest newspaper know what Axl did in CA?

I translated this from today's edition of Sweden's biggest newspaper, Aftonbladet (http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/noje/story/0,2789,756051,00.html):

The Greta Garbo of rock is alive.

Even if the former Guns N' Roses singer is laying low in regards of music, he still likes to show of in traffic.

According to Aftonbladet's source he stepped into BMW in Santa Monica, California the other day and bought a luxury equipped black BMW Z8 Roadster. The price was 1.2 million Swedish Krona (roughly $150000).


And how the fuck would Sweden's biggest newspaper know what Axl did in CA?

/jarmo

Why don't you read Jarmo's post above and the post's taking the piss out of the people from the US who don't understand that the US isn't the only place in the world. Then you might understand "how the fuck" a Swedish newspaper knows about what Axl did in California.

Edit: My apologies to any Americans who aren't idiots. I do realise there are a few of you.? :hihi:

A few.? I'm quite offeded by that remark. :rant:

I'm from South Carolina.? Sometimes I feel I'm the only one here.

And I was expecting a backlash as I opened this thread...  :hihi:

Axl does live in California, so I would hope people see him there.

That car is very nice. They're discontinuing production of it once all models in North America are sold out. I believe somewhere in the neighbourhood of 500 units were shipped to North America and once they're gone, then that's it. Possibly why Axl jumped on board before it was too late and he had to pay double, triple, etc. for one.

I know, Axl bought the Z8 for Buckethead as long as he agreed to rejoin the band.

But that was before.....












Axl deleted all of Buckethead's parts.... : ok:

The BMW Z8 Roadster IMO is a fucking ugly car!

As for the braids, he needs to just take the whole wig off...
