pl Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) i was at the hardrock pool on sunday. they have a big pool party there every sunday called rehab. it's really popular. they charge $20 admission and anyone can get in. it's basically a dance club in and around the pool. they have a live dj playing dance/club style music and it's broadcast on the radio on kiss, and like any dance club, the music is loud, with stacks of speakers set up all around the pool. it's totally crazy. anyone who's been there knows what i'm talking about. so i was out lounging by the pool (at the mellow end), and the dj said, "guns and roses is playing here tonight. is anyone going to the show? axl rose is staying here and he called to complain about the music. he wants us to turn it down." he said it in a bemused tone as if to say, "isn't that ridiculous?" i asked one of the security guards out by the pool if that was true or was the dj just trying to be funny. he said, "i don't know anything about it." it sounded likely to me. when i booked my room they asked me if i wanted a pool view or a mountain view and i said mountain view because i'm an extremely light sleeper and i thought it would be quieter (i saw the info about the crazy party on the website which i checked out before i booked my reservations.) later, i realized i needed two beds instead of one so i called back and they said that all the mountain view rooms with two queen beds were booked but that i could book a pool view room with two beds but that it would cost $100 more per night. i think all the suites were on the pool view side of the hotel, which is considered the nicer view, so i'm sure that axl's room was on the pool side. i also know that our man axl likes to stay up all night, sleep all day (who sang that song? hehe), so i can imagine him going to sleep sunday morning after playing the saturday show and partying all night and waking up to ehehe ohoh (imagine club music style beeping) and being pissed and calling management to make them turn it down. how did his people not see that coming? he should hire me as his personal assistant- i always think of things like that. anyway, i still didn't know for sure it was true. i went to the show that night and axl came on a little late. i wondered to myself if he went on late because he was pissed off about the loud music that interrupted his sleep. just a theory. axl came on at around quarter past eleven or so and a few songs into the show, (i think after knockin' on heaven's door), axl yelled "are you those motherfuckers who were making all that noise at the pool today?" hehe and i thought, "it must be true!"

highvoltage Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hahaha... Cool story pl. True or not, it was a nice read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokingarthur Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 (edited) That's a funny story. I can smell a bit of irony in it :krider: Axl will think twice before have another room in such proximity to a pool.

bandita Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 It's true!At the Sunday night show he asked if we were all the motherfuckers making all the noise at the pool during the day. Haha, wasn't me! I hear that place is fun though but I was sleeping off my hangover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pl Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 yeah, i hear that bandita, i actually put a towel over my face and fell asleep on my chaise lounge- until a security guard woke me up by tapping me on the shoulder and asking me if i was alright.

late0909 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Cool story! Perhaps Axl just didn't like the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaleigh Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Ha, nice story, pl! That's very probable. (Also, I think the song you're thinking of is Up All Night by Slaughter.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil_l Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 hehe.. I really can imagine Axl being very upset i someone disturbed his sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlsend Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 That is a great story, pity he didn't join you all by the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wando Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 By the way, this isn't the first time Axl asks music to be turned down. During the NYC-shows he had a streetperformer (or what evere it's called, someone with bongos anyway) to stop his performance by his assistant (Beta?) so he could get some sleep..

PrettyTiedUp763 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 That is funny. Poor Axl. He was probably pissed. If I can't get my sleep I turn into the biggest bitch. Can't wait for the bootleg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
