Again, I'm not sure it was Robin being ticked at Axl for being late.

I'm hearing (well, reading), in more and more places/forums, it was a sound issue, or some issue with Robin's guitars, that caused him to get pissed off.

Back spasm are very treatable (hell, ibuprofen works wonders) and usually are one of those things that can be easily controlled by good providers.  And they tend to go away as quickly as they show up....

I wouldn't worry too much, yet.  We'll see how the weekend, and next week, goes.

Back spasms can be helped with ibuprophen and medication, providing you are resting and aren't doing any physical activity.

Back spasms can also be completely crippling where you can't get out of bed for a few weeks. The back problem is a concern. Especially if he is having to go to Milan for specific treatment.

ok, it not like we dont have enough shit to worry already.
but now we need to worry if Axl became a cokehead again...

if it's true I guess he, adler and brownstone can have a reunion tour...

[A Private Eye]

You mean like in 91-93 when he showed up 2 hours late almost every night?

this is GUNS N' ROSES

wear comfy shoes and shut the fuck up

did they at least bring back the tittie show?

Just cos they did it in 91-93 doesn't make it right either you know, besides in 91-93 GNR was the biggest act on the planet they could really do as they pleased. This is 06 and Axl's up to his old tricks again except this time GNR is not the biggest band in the world by a long shot and Axl has no more second chances. It's make or break for this band and if they are up to 2 hours late for every show it will 'break' before July.

I could have sworne that he mentioned that he and Baz were sniffing "Splenda". ?He said that on stage at the Hammerstein I believe. ?I'm not sure which date, but I think it was one of the last 2 nights. ?And my impression was that he was talking about recently, not in years past.

Kinda makes me sad personally, but only because I have had bad experiances with people who do it.

It is his life, he can do what he wants with it

cant believe the amount of moaning about not playin this not playin that,and how axl wears the same clothes.ive been a gunner since appetite,and love em to bits .i felt devastated when they split ,but the new band kicks ass i got my tickets for manchester yesterday and i have been grinnin ear to ear since then. the point is without the new band there would be no more guns n roses,but as it stands they are touring and on the verge of cd,an who would of thought that back when they split.i for 1 still love em and play the new stuff just as much as the old,so cant we all just accept this ,axl has why cant we.

I brought this up a couple of years ago and got absolutely hammered by people on this board. ?We'll probably never know for sure, but he needs to show up on time to a show. ?It's as simple as that.

splenda=coke?
now the trunks interview makes so much more sence

[madagas]

That coke thing sounds like complete bullshit by the writer-the whole piece seems to be a half ass review. Axl could have been on pain killers and had an adverse reaction. The splenda references were talking about the early 90's.

[ppbebe]

Sounds bs to me as well. What kind of newspaper is it? a tabloid?

[Neemo]

splenda=coke?

wow...you're quick

[madagas]

Again, the pretty fucked up thing could be his back or a reaction to painkillers.

[Top-Hatted One]

take it for what its worth but I was once told by someone with some contacts that just because Axl keeps quirt doesn't mean he doesn;t do heavy drugs

[ARC]

... so Axl makes the fans wait a few hours whilst he snorts up the white stuff...?

this is the Axl that I missed...?

Really? Have you ever been left waiting hours at a show?

yes. leeds 02'. as long as he turns up, its fine by me.

Agreed, the fact that a rockstar is doing coke is hardly a revelation or anything new, bands have toured for years whilst being high it's not that big a deal, I'm just surprised because I got the impression he was dead against drugs and things like that after reading those interviews he did in the nineties about how vital it was to get toxins out of his body etc. If he is doing coke it's not that big a deal unless it means he's showing up late/not showing up for shows (for those of you who were asking why people think Pete Doherty is such a dick, that's your reason) and then there becomes a problem.

bad back? My mum and bro have it. It recurs.

splenda=coke?

sprite? fanta?

Axl's chiro travels with him, for gods sake (remember, he's the Mets fan?).

Yes, rest helps speed up the recovery process.  But drugs, massage, and a good chiro can keep you functional even when performing physical labor.  I've lived through it, I know (long ago in a galaxy far far away).

I'm not saying it's not concerning. I'm saying I wouldn't be too concerned unless it turns out to be a chronic issue over the next week or two.

His and Baz' references to "Splenda" were all about "back in the day"..both on the Trunk show and on stage.

But I believe he also said something onstage along the lines of how "partying" is kind of like riding a bike, you never forget...
