CoBrA2168 Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I remember there being a mad scramble for the mic in Hamilton. I had seats, so I wasn't even close - but it would have been cool to try and get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I managed to get my hand on Axl's towel that he used at the Melbourne '07 show. At the end of the show Richard tossed it into the crowd. I grabbed it with one hand as it flew over my head and i held onto it like it was a life or death situation. The problem was, three other people grabbed it aswell. It came down to just another person and myself until some stupid fuck decided to try and launch himself over the girl's head that was standing behind me.She screamed in pain, which kinda made me realise, was it really worth being thrown around like a ragdoll and risking the others getting hurt over a fucking towel? No.At that point i let it go and had to really refrain from punching the other guy in the head.The result in the end was me = nothing. Had a great night though.The girl behind me = earing ripped through and out of her earlobe.The other guy = a towel and the knowing that he was on my hitlist, hence security telling him to stand with them until we had left.

MYWIFEMYLIFE Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I was going to give the mic back to the band because they cost a lot of money but then I realize that I earned it.LOL. I'm sure if he threw it, he didn't want it back.Someone pointed out in another thread some time ago that while the guitar solo is going on, Axl might just go backstage and switch to a cheaper mic, so he can throw it. I think that is possible I got a Shure SM58, which is very fine to my knowledge, but yeah that one's point is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sandman Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I've half caught a Matt Sorum drumstick, but a guy pulled it out of my hand I've got one of Weiland's cigarette butts though!Lucky me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we were talking he told me that the crew is getting pissed because they cost a lot and every night he tosses one out. I was only going to give it back as a joke. It's cool that I got it because I was probably the first GNR fan. Also by the time I got one they started buying him plastic ones to toss. It's the same mic but cost a little less. It wouldn't make it through a whole gig because sometimes the stand goes down and it would break but the insides are the same.

GNR06 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I got the whistle from the Warfield concert. The whistle flew a few rows short of me but a couple butterfinger tips and it droped a few feet in front of me on the floor. It was surreal to get it but it's a cheap ass black plastic whistle.
