Re: Your six degrees of GNR?
In '02 my wife and I walked right by axl and 2 body guards in the cold and dark of downtown Minneapolis. I was looking the wrong way and didn't even see Axl but my wife did. My wife was fairly drunk and seemed uncertain so I did not believe her at first. It turned out her uncertainty resulted from Axl having braids (she didn't know that he did at the time) even though she was still claiming it was him based on seeing his face. After we got that figured out the story began to come together. We were the only ones walking about that part of the city and when we turned a corner we were coming right up on them, my wife said she then heard quick whispering and the three men took off swiftly. by the time I looked all I could see was two large men in long coats scurrying away from us.
Re: Your six degrees of GNR?
Ok, I preferred my helicopter story as my six degree story but I have also met Axl, Dizzy,Finck, Fortus, Tommy and Ron. When I met Axl, Beta, Fernando, Vanessa and Bubbles were also standing there. I saw Del James too but didn't bother to go over and speak to him.
I think I might have also seen Pitman but I wasn't too sure what the guy looked like so I didn't go up to him.

That's like a tale straight from The Axl Rose Myth.
I've met Slash and Dizzy and Axl's BFFl Bach.
Re: Your six degrees of GNR?
Prob my closest connection would be I used to work at a video production place. One day, someone came in asking for video tapes dubbed of his "band". Another guy there thought nothing of it & said he'd do them. He starts making these copies & watches them, the band is Gwar!!! He comes in & tells me to which I laugh & go watch. So when the guy comes in to pick them up, we started asking him about it. He was in Gwar, not a musician, but a blood shooting guy. Anyway, they were from VA but he was on his last tour with them, as he was pushing 40 or so & getting a real job. We asked if he was playing Philly & they were, he asked e tape it, as it would be one of his last shows. Sure enough we got on the list, We got there early, met the band a bit, and security almost wanted to throw us out when the show started & we had a camera on tripod, but we argued our way out of it.
Anyway, I met Gwar, Gwar on some 5 degree level probably knows GnR (Anthrax or someone)
Re: Your six degrees of GNR?
I had a dream I met Axl after he performed at a mall. No joke.
I DID take a picture of the setlist in Chicago, 2006. Someone on stage handed a fan the setlist, and I, knowing what he had, asked if I could take a picture. He graciously allowed me to do that.

Here is my degree of separation from "the oracle of bacon":
