just heard Axl has had all people wearing slash merchandise remove it at shows, can you confirm if this is true or just press stirring up shit, cheers.
This did turn out to be true but it wasn't GNR's fault or their management or even the security.
It was basically a bunch of fan's that had on Slash T Shirts and some said offensive things about the band.
Check the "Tshirt Debate" thread in the Dead Horse section. Pretty interesting article from one of the security officers is in it.
