This is what can happen when you do something you haven't done in nearly over 23 years,"Internal Fixation" (ง'̀-'́)ง https://vimeo.com/162114309

The video link is down at the moment.  Axl injured his foot and is in a cast.

Leave it to Axl to find an orthopedist that looks like she's a super model in her spare time.

[Voodoochild]

Seems pretty painful. =/

[gcluskey]

Fuck sake, what was he doing that he hasn't done in 23 years??? Playing leapfrog with Slash and Duff? Oh well, here's to a speedy recovery. Hope it won't affect the shows too much

[Zak Alexander]

jesus that's rough, best wishes Mr Rose. Don't think he will be moving too much..

[DeN]

bad timing...

curious to know if it's why vimeo is broken too right now 

[uzisuicide2002]

[uzisuicide2002]

Oh great. Well that foot kicked off the tour 25 years ago so cheers!

Dancing to the sound of Slash's guitar.

[sandman]

I'm gonna throw up. Any confirmation the show is on???

My brother said local radio station in philly said the show is on despite his broken foot. Hope so.

In the video the orthopedist says they modified the stage for him.

Looks like @axlrose won't be doing much dancing on stage tonight. But @gunsnroses is still on!

[D-GenerationX]

Him being stationary will probably lead to better vocals.

Think of Download when he did 'Better' standing in one spot, pissed at the fucking world.  He sounded great.

Ramps for a wheelchair going all over the stage setup?

I was there - it was awesome

Early too - caught us by surprise!

[reayj2003]

I take it he can't train on a broken foot??

This ain't great news.. Hope he gets through it ok.

[sky dog]

nothing a little hookers and blow wouldn't cure!

[Spirit]

Yeah if anything, the vocals will be even better if he's stationary during the show.

Would work out nicely for an audio bootleg.

[pilferk]

Axl's shoe size..

You know what they say:

Big shoes......




BIG FEET!

‏@EddieTrunk
. @axlrose has a broken foot. @gunsnroses this weekend happens as planned.  Needless to say he won't be able to move & likely need to sit

[D-GenerationX]

Axl's doctor is pretty damn cute.

Rock stars really do get all the breaks, huh?

[pilferk]

Leave it to Axl to find an orthopedist that looks like she's a super model in her spare time.

Pffft...she's a Princeton Grad.

Couldn't find a Yalie? Jeesh.  

[pilferk]

I'm gonna guess this happened when he fell at the Troubador?

[GnR-NOW]

The video said they are making accommodations for him to perform, so I think they'll be fine

[Voodoochild]

Nobody mentioned, but let me remember how awesome is to have Axl tweeting a video with Double Talkin' Jive as soundtrack.

[Zak Alexander]

mad to think he could just perform the whole set just sitting on a stool.

[Zak Alexander]

wasn't it Dublin back in 2010 when he just stood still.. I remember street of dreams and better sounding unbelievable. Gonna watch them now, he was so pissed off but vocals were insane.

[axl082002]

I get up around 7 sit in a chair about 11.........

[AXL DEMOCRACY]

Dejavu? Feels like the start of the Illusion tour when Axl was in a boot cast. Get well soon Axl!

[Bazfreak]

What a bummer...this will cool down the vibe a littleI think...first leg of the tour will have seated performances.

[axl082002]

I don't worry about nothin no bc my foot dr is fine!

[Spirit]

I don't worry about nothin no bc my foot dr is fine!

I would have given you a "like" for this one if there had been one.

Fuckin awesome!  Axl in a Rascal scooter a-la George Costanza from Seinfeld.  

Like D-Generation-X mentioned, some of Axl's best vocals are when he isn't gassed from running around...
...that said, I like my rockstars running and singing their fuckin asses off!  



Ramps for a wheelchair going all over the stage setup?  

[Eeebs]

Wishing Axl a quick, healthy and pain free recovery!

That's so rock star though... Completing the show with broken bones and all

[gcluskey]

That's right, I was there. The vocals were excellent that night but it was a fucked up show with a bunch of 'casual' fans who were pissed off cos they were gonna miss their bus home due to the late start. The show was more enjoyable when half the crowd fucked off!

[Axl4Prez2004]

Couldn't find a Yalie? Jeesh.  

Princeton, eh?  I'd bet she's a "Tiger" in the sack.  

[C0ma]

It's like they are recreating the UYI Tour... kickoff the show in a club where Axl injures his foot/leg and has to wear a cast... last time the big blue walking boot was prominently featured in videos.

[jak0lantern01]

Holy deja vu - this happened again? At the beginning of a tour, again? Just.....wow. Very Spinal Tap, if there is room for humor.

But to be obviously humorous: So we have no info on how this reunion came about (in any real detail, very quiet on that front), and only snippets of their first public performance together, but we get an x-ray of Axl's broken foot? The world of GnR operates in interesting ways. Hope Axl recovers quickly. 

[GypsySoul]

AXL ROSE
I BROKE MY FOOT!!
Show Will Go On



Axl Rose broke his foot and underwent surgery, and he just announced it ... HOURS before Guns N' Roses officially kicks off their tour!
Axl posted an x-ray of his left foot and said, "This is what can happen when you do something you haven't done in nearly 23 years."
The real GNR is playing its first arena show in decades tonight and Saturday night in Las Vegas. We're told the injury happened when Axl slipped onstage while singing "Mr. Brownstone" during last Friday's Troubadour show. We're told Axl knew something was busted, but toughed it out. Rock 'N' roll.
He had surgery earlier this week, and got a bunch of hardware to repair the fracture. We're told he'll be in a cast for all the Vegas and Coachella shows, but don't expect him to be sitting the whole time. They're making some kinda support for him, and the setlist won't be shortened.
The band clearly knows this would freak out fans. They got Axl's doc to explain the injury and the surgery.

Ok, the fact he broke his fucking foot like 2 songs into the freaking show and finished a 2 hour set, to ME, speaks VOLUMES.

[dmathski]

Well that sucks....  Should be healed up for stadium tour though

Sure can't accuse him of not being tough.

[SkeletorSerpent]

This can be spun into great press! It shows Axl's new found devotion to his fans. It shows his unwillingness to let them down. It shows his resilience. It clearly shows his determination and drive to find redemption and vindication. It shows his class, maturity, and professionalism.

Instead of an obstacle or chance for the media to blast Axl, this can become Axl's Kirk Gibson 1988 World Series Home Run moment. Kirk hit a two-run walk-off home run to win game 1 of the World Series.
Axl can exploit this moment for the betterment of his reputation. He can show his triumphant spirit and hit a home run tonight!

In fact, if you goes out there a sings his heart out with a broken foot--- well, the audience response could be legendary! I'm talking a 5-10 minute standing ovation. A way of Axl showing his love for his fans and their years of patience and loyalty.
If Axl plays his heart out on a broken foot --   this is the sort of thing that creates legends.

[Thorned Rose]

Damn. I hope he doesn't cancel anything. I don't think he will. Hell he could sit down and sing right boys?

I hope it doesn't take away from the show too. I mean normally he's pretty mobile and stuff. The vocals should be fine, and honestly this might be better for them? Interesting find. Thanks for sharing.

[martyngnr]

What a man though...finished the Troubadour set.   
This isn't the same moody, temperamental Axl the media have been hoping for. He's really up for this. 

[Irish gunner II]

wasn't it Dublin back in 2010 when he just stood still.. I remember street of dreams and better sounding unbelievable. Gonna watch them now, he was so pissed off but vocals were insane.

yes and in Dublin in 2012 he had hurt his leg in Russia at the show before it and I got to see a brilliant show and it made up for 2010. And Axl fucked up his foot before the UYI tour in 1991 and I don't think the shows suffered.

[Sosso]

there are already too many fans outside the arena to cancel the concert .
And I don't think that we would have seen footage from the rehearsals. Because it's senseless to rehearse before a canceled concert?

[Giantrobott]

Broken foot ain't no Thang.

[RoCoKiN]

Axl broke his foot off in someone's ass!   

[Mike McKagan]

I immediately thought of the UYI tour injury and the cool AXL high tops, too. Oddly, it feels sort of like good juju for the new tour. Still sorry he's gotta deal with it, though.

[dmathski]

He needs to shit can the cowboy boots!  Horrible for feet

[Voodoochild]

Maybe he took the "break a leg" way too serious.

[firecracker69]

What a champ. Glad to hear he's gonna have some special things set in place to help him over this next month.

[ice cream sand pig]

poor guy! what a trooper though! would be a trip if he comes out in a wheelchair

[ice cream sand pig]

Maybe he took the "break a leg" way too serious.

haha that was too good!

[gcluskey]

He needs to shit can the cowboy boots!  Horrible for feet

Yea I was thinking the same. Get the old Axl trainers on or some Doc Martens

[14 Yrs Of Silence]

This is all over the news so, ironically great promotion! 

[Poops Magee]

Him being stationary will probably lead to better vocals.

Think of Download when he did 'Better' standing in one spot, pissed at the fucking world.  He sounded great.

Couldn't agree more. I love that version of Better! And it's all about delivering the vocals at this point.

[bailyrose]

Give Axl a wheelchair and he can still fly around the stage.  I saw Guns in Toronto back in 2010 and he came out in a wheelchair and did wheely's it was funny needless to say. Not  sure why he did that though.
