#26 The one time we'd actually understand, the show goes on (aka: Axl's Stigmata)
When you go to a Guns N' Roses show, you go sort of half expecting something's going to happen and it will get cut short. You don't want to, but you can't help it. (see #32 Thou Shalt Not Piss Off Axl). So for fans in Dayton Ohio, January 14, 1992's show seemed like one of those nights when only four songs into the show, Axl sliced his hand open on the microphone stand.
Everyone stopped.
Everyone held their breath.
Everyone waited for him to run off the stage (which would have been perfectly acceptable this time).
But.....
Amazingly, Axl kept on keeping on. He wrapped a towel around his mangled hand and finished the show without missing a note! He got stitched up later that evening and had surgery the following day. Our leader sure is full of surprises sometimes.
Don't believe it? Here's videographic proof and Kurt Loder does NOT lie:
Ironically, he wisely chose to wear the red booty suit that night.
THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT MOMENT IN AXL HISTORY
