during one of the times people were crowd surfing, Axl was standing up on the monitors and the crowd was motioning to him to jump. He laughed and said, paraphrasing, "no I did that once in St. Louis and it cost me a lot of money. I learned my lesson, there was a trial and everything! a big fat woman on the jury said I just looked like I had a bad attitude so I must be guilty and should know better. so since then, I've learned my lesson."
Axl no terminó November Rain pero no entendí por qué...
Axl was having such a good time that I think he completely fucked up the end of NR. I really think he had no idea they didn't play it. He was SO into killing it on the piano and when it got to the end before last solo, he got up, came around the piano, introduced Ron and left!
Axl made a comment about people being worried about the show after his twitter post (re. him being sick) and said something like you just have to give it your all....this was after they had been playing for over 2.5 hours straight! Honestly, I never would have even thought he was sick if I hadn't read his post. He did a great job and yeah it was probably one of the happiest shows I have seen him. Made several funny detroit references and commented about the crowd's energy.
Axl was joking through the entire show and told a bunch of great stories. One was about his "eBay tweet" he said some girl yelled at him later in the day for an autograph and goes "I CAN'T SELL MY FUCKIN' LEG ON EBAY!!" and he laughed real hard. He was also talking about how the porn industry is talking about boycotting California soon and he said they should move it to Detroit. That was we can have the "motivation industry AND the automotive industry" haha.
After the band bow, Axl gave a little longer speech than usual explaining that he was in fact beyond sick but that he really wanted to come give us a great show and he hoped he did that. The place erupted when he said that with many, many people doing the "We're not worthy bow". The funniest thing was at the very very end Axl said "Goodnight, take care, we love you and DON'T TAKE NO SHIT FROM THE PO PO!" and laughed his ass off. It was so fucking funny. No one knows why he said it but if it was just to make himself and us laugh, it worked! Haha.
