Injured GUNS N' ROSES Fan To Sue AXL ROSE - Mar. 13, 2013
A GUNS N' ROSES fan is reportedly planning on taking legal action against the band's lead singer, Axl Rose, after the rocker threw his cordless microphone into the crowd during the opening night of GUNS N' ROSES' Australian tour in Perth on Saturday, hitting the fan in the face and damaging his two front teeth.

39-year old Darren Wright says he was left bleeding, and wants Rose to pay his dental bills, with the tour promoter apologizing and offering a signed microphone from the musician instead.

"With the bright lights and explosions, I couldn't see anything," Wright told The West Australian. "The next thing I knew, I was whacked in the mouth. I thought I had been punched. I was quite stunned and it took a few seconds to realize what was going on. I could feel bits of teeth in my mouth. Then someone is climbing through my legs to grab the microphone."

He added: "I don't think [Axl] intended to do it, but it came at me at a fairly flat and hard trajectory. Those cordless microphones are not light. I'm surprised it didn't do more damage. At the very least, I want someone to pay to get my teeth fixed."

Wright said a dentist told him he would have to have months of dental work costing at least AUD 5000 (approximately $5154).

GUNS N' ROSES' six-date Australian headlining tour with ZZ TOP and ROSE TATTOO is scheduled to wrap on March 20 in Brisbane.

Darren is completely right in this case. He should be compensated for the the obvious negligent behavior that Axl demonstrated on stage. He's probably lucky the only think that this guy is seeking is the compensation for the damages.

In any case, Axl demonstrates time and time again just the type of person he is. An asshole.

Probably won't even be Axl who signs it. Manager will probably just sign Axl's name.

Axl can't be bothered with things like that, he's got an album to record!

Something gets thrown onstage? Axl throws a fit and walks off. Axl throws something from the stage? Offers to autograph the projectile that he broke your teeth with. Douchebag of the century.

Seems like he's only suing after asking for his dental fees.

Just asking for the estimated costs to fix his teeth and not trying to come up with other "compensation" necessary.

Shut up idiot. The two guys you defend to the death on BM (axl and Tate) show what kind of guy you are. You have abandonment issues and like the guys that treat fans and bandmates like crap. Go see a Doctor.

If this happened in Melbourne, he'd be called a toothless Collingwood fan and people would say he's in it for a cash grab.

He could have medicare pick up the bill even. If he wanted to wait that is. But maybe Axl should step up and apologise to him and offer some form of compensation with his dental bill.

Did I say he wasn't in the right? I merely stated that the man is probably going to be subject to most of the derision within the comments (and unjustly so). I'm basing this off of the nature of the comments that have already been posted on Facebook in regards to this story: http://www.facebook.com/Blabbermouth.net/posts/584289574923043

Don't assume that I'm taking a side here; I'm just making a prediction of what kind of response we're gonna get from the Blabbermouth community.

Hey, not to try and defend Axl, cuz i think he's a bit 'o a douche, but he does that in every "G'NR" concert..At the end of the show 'r whatever, he throws his microphone into the crowd as a souvenir for someone. A pretty decent gesture in my opinion. The most stuff i've ever seen any bands give out for souvenirs were Metallica, and their beach-balls..other than that, it's just run of the mill drum sticks and guitar picks...which reminds me, Dimebag used to throw out fuckin big handfull's of picks man!! lol..fuck he was awesome..

This dude is completely right. Axl does this at EVERY show. Ya, your teeth got fucked up and that sucks. BUT, wouldn't you think to keep your eyes open? Fuck the microphone, what about bottles and shoes and lighters and all that other bullshit people like to pull at shows. Me personally? I AM an Axl fan. I AM! Fuck it!! I just can't see myself suing someone over their "signature move". (No, not the snake dance...)

The dude may end up with some nice veneers, a backstage pass, and some pocket change. I bet Axl quits throwing things to the audience. Maybe Axl should just spit at the audience like Nikki does.

In the real world Axl would have been beaten down by every person that he screwed with. Sorry but in my opinion Axl is a Jacka** that throws hissy fits whenever he don't get his way and cancels shows because he is a thinks he is that cool. Always remember the fans are the #1 reason he is a musician & has money.



Also, this fan should sue Axhole for putting out Chi Dem & making all the other people at the show. Wait 10 hours till he takes the stage.



So with that being said:


Screw Axhole Pose & his frauds and hacks world's greatest tribute band!!!!!!!

Scab GNR plays to empty seats every night, plus now do so in 3D, and he now lost that activision court battle for the video game guitar hero, which was released not too long ago! And got his punk a** beaten down by Tommy Hilfiger. And now gets sued by his fans!


The fans hate Poser Rose and will keep doing so forever!!!!!!!!!


Hail & long live the real Guns lineup that being of course: Slash , Izzy , Adler and Duff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In all fairness to Axl, this was an accident. But I think it would be in good taste for Axl to cover the dental cost. The guy isn't trying to milk Axl for all he's worth and seems to be quite rational about the whole thing. I also think that it'd be wise on Axl's end to just pay this guy without public knowledge, otherwise people will start claiming they got hit in the head every time he throws the microphone.

woulda been for Axl to just hook the guy up quickly and quietly before the press got wind. If the press already knew, well if he pays for this guy's teeth he's gotta pay for anyone who claims an injury at a show. I don't think anyone is right or wrong here. The dude's an idiot for expecting the singer to pay for his injury at the concert, Axl is an idiot for thinking a "signed fist" is compensation for getting "punched in the mouth"

Axl should pay. It as irresponsible to be throwing something like that into the crowd. Just shows how little connection Axl's mind makes between actions and consequences. This kid isn't asking for shit, just a fair shake. If he were trying to sue for millions it would be different. I've thrown stuff into a crowd before while performing, cups of water mostly, maybe some beer if it was at a packed bar. Once I nailed a girl with one, she was obviously kinda butt hurt about it so I made a point to apologize. We were cool after that cause after all, it was a plastic cup with water in it. Just think about shit Axl, you can't possibly be surprised that someone is asking this of you after all the frivolous litigation you instigated over the years.

Our barter-loving friend writes all his nonsense for free show passes thru Roadrunner via a college radio metal show. He pretends to like and hate certain bands to drive up traffic. He claims to be a "first-day" buyer yet would be hard pressed to produce one receipt for a CD or a concert ticket. More bi-polar fake enthusiasm.....

I understand that there are inherent risks associated with going to rock and/or metal shows. That being said, it does NOT give rock stars such as Axl a license to act like a complete douchebag and recklessly throw equipment at the audience! The fan in question has a legitimate case.

If this doesn't sit well with you, then consider Axl's own history as a professional musician. This is the same man who single-handedly instigated massive riots in both St. Louis and Montreal (among other places); the St. Louis incident resulted in GNR being permanently banned from the city, while the Montreal incident came in the immediate aftermath of the James Hetfield pyro accident, when Axl could've instead saved the show. Axl has also had a habit of being habitually LATE for his own shows (in some cases, as much as 2-3 HOURS late...by which point his scheduled set would be over), and took 15 YEARS to record ONE ALBUM (wasting $13 million in the process)! Do you really expect me to take Axl's excuses and apologies at face value when he has proven time and time again to be an unreliable asshole?
