    Fair play to Slash, he just kept on playing.

    But i'd say the guy ended up getting a right pasting

    I love the way he handles it. Privately he's probably freaking but he gets on with it and keeps playing. The guy who tried that probably got the living daylights kicked out of him. If i was Slash i'd be asking serious questions about security!!

    I'd say that guy got some hammering on top of the hit he took when he fell off the stage

    Security may have lapsed to let him run on but respect to the lad who tackles him straight off the edge of the stage!
    That had to hurt.
    Hopefully security lad landed on the other cnut.:P

    That was prob the worst attempt at tackling someone , he pretty much dived of the stage since Slash was kind of crouched down playing the solo. Fair play to him for just getting on with the song

    should have thrown the guy back into the crowd and let them "take care" of him

    Axl gets an empty bottle thrown at him = gig cancelled
    Slash gets an empty minded fan thrown at him = keeps on shreddin'

    I don't think it was a publicity stunt but it does seem strange that he came from backstage.

    Could be the way the venue is laid out. You could've done that at the old Tivoli in Dublin in the early 90's. You could walk around to the side of the stage and watch them from there. Would've been easy to hop onstage if you were so inclined.

    Fair play to him for just playing on, cool as you like.... The only thing better would have been if he'd done a Kieth Richards on the guy.

    reminds me, its guys like these not content with what'd be a rare enough stagedive these days wantin to talk with or handle high profile pop royalty mid-performance that'll eliminate the possibility of punters like us sneakin it backstage n mixin it up - stages may become retractable platforms hanging from cranes in a bulletproof glass case

    invade the stage if ya will, but u just don't disturb the performance. notice Oasces quit fairly soon after a similar attack? woofters
