The Funny Guns N' Roses stories thread

[Tarja]

oh that should have been embarrasant for poor Duff ;D I haven't heard this one either

[Monique]

Lol you’ve probably heard these, it’s taken from a picture of Axl that has lots of info:

-Late one night an unkempt Axl walked into a hotel in LA –a very posh hotel- when he was confronted by a burly security guard. “Excuse me sir”, said the guard, “are you a guest at this hotel?” Axl replied: “No, I’m not a guest. I’m a fucking paying customer here!”

-Axl once refused to talk to a major British magazine because the restaurant he’d chosen as the venue for said interview was closed for the day!

-Axl is so anti-Motley Crüe that, when a Crüe record was accidentally played at a Guns N’ Roses party in London, he personally removed it from the turntable.

-Axl once made old friend Del James do somersaults during a show in Japan for the amusement of the audience.

;D I didn't know the last 2 ones. Thanks!

[Sharon]

Love this thread.
I know Axl is very anti Motley Crue after that incident, I mean I would have a lot of anger towards Neil too if I was him. I saw somewhere around here a photo of Vince Neil holding a T-shirt, a black one, on which was written Axl .The asshole

I remember another funny story, around 1992, when Axl and Shannon Hoon had a bet and Axl won, and after that Shannon had to play bongos on stage naked

;D I haven't read that so far. ;D ;D I wonder why did she ask Duff "Are you gaaaay?" ;D

haha, no, she didin't say 'are you gaaaay?' but i had to add more 'a' because if you just write g-a-y this emoticon appears:


ok, another one that i shared with Monique in Izzy's topic.

When Izzy got 'the famous phonecall' from Indiana during the time the band was taking a break in Chicago (and tryin to do some work at the same time but with no result) he left the apartment the ban was staying and just dissapeared.
anybody knew if he was actually coming back, they didn't know the reason of his departure and there was a confusion about the whole situation.
but one day some time later, he came back by car. he parked, got off it and when he looked up he saw Axl throwin plates and fragile objects against the walls and floor. obviously, he was having a tantrum so he got in the car and drove back to Indiana without even knockin at the door to say 'hi'.
;D

;D

naaah ;D this is simply awesome story ;D

I so feel Axl and Izzy at the same time, because how many times this happened to me too, when I was so furious, because when I am so enraged I become violent and the only way to cool my anger is to throw something, anything that comes in the way of my hand at the moment. How many times I destroyed something, I broke my computer desktop at a furious moment because I threw a cup in the desktop when very angry...I broke some glasses that were on the table throwing them at the wall because they were the first thing that my hand cought. I threw the door of my room with such force in such moment of anger that it remained blocked and I had to get out on the window... And many others. I still have in mind an year ago when I was still a student at the university, we had to give an oral exam and they postponed the hour and we were there from 7am waiting.I got so angry, a mate came to me and asked "what happens?' and I just exploded yelling "TO THE HELL WITH EVERYTHING, THEY CAN JUSCT FUCK WITH THEIR PROGRAM, I AM FULL OF THIS GODDAMN UNIVERSITY I WILL WIPE MY ASS WITH AFTER FINISHING". And she just looked at me with 2 big eyes, said nothing and she ran(ran!) away. Well...when anger black clouds gather above my head, it's better to go away, because anything can worse the situation.


And I do see and feel the ones around me are afraid a bit of my character, I mean maybe this very volcanic character might be not so loved by the others near you, so I can understand why Izzy got back in the car without even knocking on the door, but I deffinitely feel Axl.I know how it is. I am phisically unable to cool my anger if I don't throw something, if I don't cool my phicsical anger first.
I always was like this, this is my character, and fortunately my best friend finally understood this, also my family a bit.

Eusis, this is the best I've heard until now ;D Besides that I understand Axl 101%! as I am like this when I get angry and I can tear down the house if somebody tries to stop me. This story was more like a deja-vu thing goddamnit! The Izzy's reaction was hilarious . he didn't even try to knock on the door. ;D

I remember what I've done last month, when I, my sister and 2 friends went to a metal festival in another city here and we travelled by nightrain( yeah, really ) and we were in that train for 9 hours, the whole night, we were just exhausted, and when I get tired I get angry. Well, we arrived where we supposed to have accommodation, BUT... when at 7 am wew arrived in the city, we called the owner telling him we just arrived and that we haven't slept for 30 hours and we are freezing. He said he was comming in less that 30 minutes and that we'll have our room later at 9 am. Well.. he arrived 1 hour later and he told us the room will be available at 12.pm. I got so angry, imagine I haven't slept for 30 hours! and I yelled at him "THAT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE WHAT YOU TOLD!WE HAVEN'T SLEPT FOR 30 HOURS, WE HAVE A CONCERT IN LESS THAT 4 HOURS AND YOU TELL US THE ROOM WILL BE AVAILABLE AT 12??". I didn't wait for his damned answer and I went out slamming the door with the thought of searching another place to go. I didn't find and I came back. He gave us the room at 10.30, I don't know if because of me making a huge scandal there or not, I was just too tired to control myself and I wouldn't shut up in any ocassion- tired or not.
So I can understand Axl more than someone can imagine
Thanks a lot, this is the best I've heard

see? it's native

[Tarja]

really native

[Sharon]

I try to remember other funny stories regarding the band

[Tarja]

I know one of Axl from 1998, at the airport

When he arrived at the airport in Phoenix and some policemen wanted to see his luggage, he replied:
“I am going to take the fuck out of him right now. I don’t give a fuck who he is. He is a tramp dressed in lord!”

When they told him he would get arrested he replied “I don’t give a fuck! Throw me in the cell if you want!” He got arrested for a couple of hours.

That's our Axl

[Monique]

I remember that incident. I read it on a Rolling Stone article about Axl and Chinese Democracy. Axl was furious because he had brought several presents and souvenirs for Beta in his luggage and the airport guard had trashed it. xP

that's the funny part, Izzy's reaction

do you know that funny story about the elevator? haha Monique knows it too...

in the AFD tour, When the band arrived in Hamburg, Germany they decided to go sightseeing the next morning. they all slept fine and Steven, Slash and Duff got prepared to go for a walk and stay out for the whole day. Faster Pussycat was the support band and they were stayin at the same hotel. when the 4 guys went to the lobby, the members of Faster Pussycat were there and the drummer decided to join them. Slash, Steven, Izzy and Duff weren't happy with the idea but they had to accept it because the guy was so desperate to go that they just gave in at the end.
well, they walked down the streets, had a drink atc and they went back to the hotel. when they got back this guy was still with them, he was kind of like annoying because he acted as if they were all friends and t Steven, Slash, Izzy and Duff didn't like him at all haha, they didn't even liked the fact that Faster Pussycat was their support band for the tour.
anyway, they got in the room and the guy fall asleep in Duff's bed and Izzy started to motivate Duff to do something about it, he tried to make Duff see him that the guy was being rude because he was sleeping in his bed, so Duff started to feel upst and a little bit irritated about it until Izzy came up with a really creative idea: he suggested that they should put him in the elevator shift and let him there so he can sleep. and they did it...they took his clothes off, tied the guy up and when they were carrying him to the elevator the guy woke up so they throw him into the elevator and press the lobby button and sent him down there...
the hotel staff foung him naked and tied up, with no ID, no money no nothing...he had to tell the staff that he was the drummer of that band and when he finally convince them the employees had to call their manager so he could go there and help him out.

that was so cruel, omg...

[Sharon]

oh my god ;D ;D ;D
