Yeah but Neemo, you have no idea how he approached him and how he said it, if he was really drunk it could have been really fast or wild, or maybe it was more then just a pat.
He doesn't have security against his opening acts, he just has security back there with him and in this day and age, why not have security back there. I am sure he isn't the only artist to do that. After what happened to Dimebag, I certainly see it as not a bad idea.

monkeychow wrote:I guess my issue with this whole collapse thing is the concept that the music is no longer the primary product in the marketplace. If they only earn a living through T-Shirts and Tours (cool as tours are) then that doesn't seem to me to be an improvment. Afterall - think of Axl - would you rather see him do the same show live again or listen to a new CD of material from him?
No one is saying we won't get new material from artists. We'll just get it in a different way. Who knows, maybe people will take the "Prince Approach". Maybe you'll go see the artist and get their new CD at the show as part of the package. All I know is something has to be done differently and it's going to involve alot of work, something people like Sebastian Bach apparently don't believe in.
That approach would make me download more. I don't have the money or the time to go to shows everytime I wanted an album. I think Itunes is the perfect way to go, it's cheaper then the stores and you can download it right to your ipod or make your own cd, only problem is you don't get any cover art but with it being cheaper overall and more convenient then I'd say that's the way to go. Then the artist wouldn't have to worry about the extra expense for cover art being copied and liner notes, cases, shipping, etc.

Gotta put these people in the group of internet psychos and it's just unbelievable. Cops taking pics of crime scenes or accidents and what not is nothing new, my brother has a case full of them, to post them on internet now is definitely playing with fire because there is a family out there hurting over their loved ones loss.
If the pics were put on here, so be it, really nothing can be done but to harass the family is not cool.

Good Call Russ and Thanks Elmir for posting that article.
I really think that Axl definitely has his quirks but people tend to embelish alot when speaking about him if something may have pissed them off.
We all know how some people act when they are drunk and going up to Axl in that capacity definitely isn't a bright move, this is Axl after all and could be any artist that had security, they are trained to do exactly what this person did. If you are stupid enough be all loud and whatnot going up to a famous person with a security guard, what do you expect?

It's the harsh reality of the times. I was gonna ask him how he felt about this if I was taken on the Eddie Trunk show.
There were his loyal fans that definitely supported and bought the album. Considering he did this album himself, it's a harder hit because it's his money and not the labels money. I can see him pissed but it's something that every artist needs to take into consideration.
Duff said it best, your income now as an artist is in everything but album sales.
#1008 Re: Guns N' Roses » Die Mannequin Talks about opening for GnR » 986 weeks ago
they werent just talking afterparty though...they were saying that he was just never there until showtime, then gone afterwards...i dunno maybe the opening act wasnt allowed to the after parties
Still working on getting a hold of a transcript, I'm sure i've forgotten something or havent remembered something correctly
That's nothing new, even at Hammerstein, Axl was the first to actually leave that night, that I saw when I was in the back of the building talking to BBF. And Baz was talking in code as to where the after party was going to be...I can only assume that Axl leaves the venue first then arrives to the after party.
#1009 Re: Guns N' Roses » Die Mannequin Talks about opening for GnR » 986 weeks ago
It's all good.
Maybe he isn't at every after party I dunno, I know 3 people that have went to them and all three have said he was there. When will it be me...:wtf: HAHA One of these days.
#1010 Re: The Sunset Strip » Dexter (Spoiler Alert) » 986 weeks ago
When she turned that gas on I was like holy moly, she's gonna kill him, awesome!! Then I felt bad for Doakes but it was perfect for Dexter.
I didn't think he was gonna let her live, I knew he was setting her up. Yeah, Deb fucked tht all up...LOL
I liked that he killed her quick 
Edit - Michael C Hall is up for an Emmy for this, I think he totally deserves it! I love him on Six Feet Under, he should have gotten an Emmy for that.
