No Truth To Rumors Of SLASH Gear Ban At GUNS N' ROSES Concert - Jan. 26, 2010

According to Pollstar.com, there appears to be no truth to the rumor that fans wearing T-shirts depicting former GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash were to turn the shirts inside out if they wanted admittance to the band's concert in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada last Wednesday. Several media outlets claim they came up empty when trying to find anyone who actually experienced a Slash ban at a GN'R show last week.

Fernando Lebeis, the son of Beta Lebeis — GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose's personal assistant — has denied that any such ban ever took place. Writing on a GN'R message board, he said, "We did not advise any security to ban any sort of apparel.... If they did, they did it on their own accord, or under someone else's order — from within their management."

Two separate audio conversations with venue security who worked the GN'R concert in Winnipeg regarding the alleged ban can be heard below.

	why is it so out of the realm of possibility, on youtube, you can see Axl stop a song, go to the edge of the stage & berate a fan in a Slash shirt, ask him to be removed, and "give me that T shirt". Fake as fuck my ass. Its right up Axl's alley. He's an insecure control freak.

	If there was any truth to this it would have happened at all venues... and it hasn't.

	"Getting into Axl's concert with a top hat on is harder than getting access to Bruce Wayne's balls. Wok, wok, wok." --The Penguin "Security stopped me when I wore a top hat to a GnR show. I tried to explain to them who I am, but they said Axl only likes almonds. Then they bitch slapped me until my shell cracked." --Mr. Peanut "After I was stopped at the door, I told security that a member of Axl's family wanted him. They said he would be occupied making his second solo album for the next 6-7 tours of duty, adding that he wasn't cutting his dreadlocks for anyone. They commanded me to retreat, so I carpet-bombed the arena." --Uncle Sam "There was no welcome to the jungle for this fancy kitty. They said 'High tail it on back to Paradise City.' I begged them for entry to the music bash, and swore I knew not of this cat named Slash. But they told me to turn my fur inside out. Even though this coat I can't live without. Axl Rose is as rude as the fish. Failure for him is what I now wish." --The Cat in the Hat "They wouldn't let me in even with a Golden Ticket! I thought it was the most disrespectful display I had ever witnessed. Then the crew started talking shit to the oompa-loompas, and it was on!" --Willy Wonka "Axl is a straight-up head case--easily the craziest dude I have ever met." --The Mad Hatter

	Arrggghhh!!! The only time Winnipeg is ever on here is for GnR news that may or may not be true or when a handful of Marilyn Manson fans get rowdy so allow me... For a secondary market Winnipeg has a great Metal scene. We've got an awesome line up for up coming concerts. As well as a great indie scene. I suggest Putrescence, Evil Survives, Dreadnaut, Domenica, Electro Quarterstaff, Besieged, Psychotic Gardening, Dissolution and the legendary Harlequin. Horns Up!!!!
