im SURE the get in the ring was the wembly tour and the ilusion tour was at milton keynes

the OTHER one on channel 4 was the one where they CUT the best part of november rain aswell as a few other parts


you can DEFFO see the axl songs though,,,,,,, estranged ect are sooo typical of his style


izzy made some of the best ones though



OH and wasnt axl a piano player and just volenteered to be a vocalist as the REAL guns and roses ( with LA guns) never had one as no fooker wanted to do it


oh and ive also got the cbbc interviews toby whats his name done when they was at rio or somewhere



axl DID do some damage to the band though, at times he would be late and sometimes refuse to even go out


and he NEVER turned up for practise during the day
Thats Toby Anstis, and I have that aswell It was for the "O-Zone" and was them playing in Athens, Greece

The Illusion tour and Get In The Ring tour was the same thing, it was just different legs... The tour lasted over 2 years (one of the longest on the road stints any band has ever done, topped only by Metallica (Poor Touring Me" that lasted nearly 3 years!) and the Rolling Stones (there was someone else that topped it too, but can't remember who) The renaming of the tour was basically just for promoting really.... And to do with playing GnR "gigs" and doing Festival appearences etc....

Axl was notorious for fucking around and being difficult. Many shows he didn't turn up for, and during the co headlinging tour they did with Metallica (Metallica's Nowhere Left To Roam tour and GnR's Illusion Tour, somethime in 1992) James Hetfield was injured in a Pyrotechnics accident and was rushed to hospital with major burns, forcing to the band to cut half their set. The rest of Metallica apologised to the crowed (in Montreal) and promised to come back when James was better and play a free make up show. Metallica were first out that night, so Guns N Roses could have come out and saved the day and put on a double length show..... But no, Axl didn't like the idea of being upstaged by James incident and cut the show short after the third song, and left the stage muttering something about the state of the bands future. In doing so he incited the worst riot Montreal has ever seen!!!!
