QUOTE'S

*AXL: "I know that many of you are disappointed that some of the people that you came to know and love could not be here today......REGARDLESS of what you'v heard or read....People worked very hard.......meaning my former friends...to do everything they could so that i could not be here today.......I SAY FUCK THAT.
I am as hurt and disappointed as you that unlike Oassis we could not find a way to all get along...SO...I will begin to introduce the new band, who have worked VERY, VERY, VERY HARD to come and see you today......This is my friend Paul Tobias. He has worked in the darkness, underground for the last seven years to be able to be here today. I think this makes his fourth or fith show altogether in his life. WITHOUT PAUL THEIR WOULD BE NO MORE GN'R.....Along with Paul the only man from the old lineup who stayed loyal and worked hard every day is on the keyboard's...Mr Dizzy Reed....Well so much for the past...This is Live and Let Die."

*AXL: " We'v only done one show before this , and already we'v been criticized for playing the old songs....BUT..I have no intention....and never did ....of denying you something you enjoy...And i thought it was only fair for you to see THAT THIS BAND CAN PLAY THE FUCK OUT OF THESE SONGS........It is very hard to ask a musician to learn to play the part's...or part...played by other musicians before them. These guy's have worked VERY HARD".

*AXL: " You know i used to go on the internet, but the internet seems to be the BIG GARBAGE CAN...So i don't read the thing's they say on the internet anymore, and that goes for you'r comment's to xxxx and xxxxxx..and ANYONE ELS WHO LIKES TO THINK THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON BUT HAVE NO IDEA".

*AXL: " In closing i would like to say without the love and support of one person above all other's i would not be here today....In America for the last seven years ...I have been supported by , and taken care of , and looked out for...This is very hard for her (Beta is translating)..The band have been taken care of...She has worked every step of the way. Through rehersal's, recording, contract's AND WHAT A PAIN IN THE FUCKIN ASS I AM......I'v been taken care of for the last seven years by a Brazilian family, this is Elizabeth Lebeis....Beta....My assistant..and her three amazing children, Alex, Vanessa, and Fernando. She has been a mother to me, my manager, my other assistant, and anyone in the band's that ever needed her, at anytime....I thank her, and all of you for her".
