Me no likey likey the Riad. Me still want hear livey though
Ok ok more arm twisting......Axllllllllll ! KissAt the end of the Rocket Queen Story post, I mention that Rhiad n TWAT were inspired by events in 1990 when I went over to California to spend some time with Axl n the band.Well Rhiad n The Bedouins is about the time Barbi had to beat The Crue boys out of her hotel room whilst she was waiting for Axl to save her! lolMy family n I had rooms on the second floor of the hotel and the band were on the floor above. There was much comings n goings to be had that week and high jinx all round.... like the time Duff n I had a yelling match that brought Slash n Axl running..... LOL!Anyway, on this particular day, Axl decided that he would take my brother to Denny's. Axl put a cap on and wanted to see if he could be recognised... Axl asked me to come along, but because I was vegetarian at the time, I gave him a withering look and said something like - "well, what do you think!" That was alittle after he tried to convince me that Beef Jerky was not really meat! "It tastes good, don't it" Roll Eyes Anyway.....Im in the hotel room on my own, when in walks Vince n Nikki. Now you may have seen photos of Nikkis hair but to see it in real life.... is something to behold! Jet black, absolutely immaculately styled. I tell you it was a sculpture unto itself...lol! Bits sticking out at perfect angles.... TongueAnyway, these boys wanted to see how far, they could get with Barbi Von Grief. They had no chance in hell of course, but well, you know what boys are like. We sat around the table in the hotel room n it was very much like a verbal poker game.Needless to say I won with a straight flush (basically I told them to fuck off). I was a very ladylike young lady and basically the F word took them by suprise. Vince smiled n Nikki was quite impressed by the delivery and usage of the word! The timing was perfect.... ha!Anyway, Axl arrived by this time. Finally! Talk about having to hold them off...! lol. There were words. My hero!..... Even though I handled the situation quite well on my own! I later found out that Duff sent the Crue boys in cos he was still pissed off about our earlier encounter...... Attitude! Bitch! lol GrinOh my frustration n oh my salvation!The line: "only I could tell", well... at that stage of the GN'R story, Axl had to keep to himself who I really was and our past connection, and what I was really doing there....They knew I was Barbi (Rocket Queen) Von Grief but not much else......The Crue boys were trying to work what exactly the connection was..... n Axl wasn't going to tell them.......(I think they now get it.... happy birthday....! Dobry! Tak! lol)Anyway, my parents eventually found out about my little encounter with The Crue and my hotel door was locked. lolThe Crue, at the time, had the title of the most dangerous band yada yada, until the Gunners took it from them. Wink Grin Well, I should say until Barbi Von Grief aced them! Grin Wink I paved the way for the boys, I paved the way.... lol TongueLater that night...... Axl broke in......(Knock, Knock, Knocking on Heaven's Door)... he literally broke the lock on the door to get in.... because he wanted me to hear Novemember Rain. That night was magic and quite emotional for the two of us because it was hot and rainy and Axl was thinking of calling it Californian Rain..... and we hadn't spent time together for quite a few years.....During that fun n crazy week, I also met some other band guys/actors from that time, who popped in for a visit to meet me! "Barbi" Rocket Queen, including Shannon Hoon....!Might tell that one another time..........
barbi is a nutcase who, lamentably, is no longer posting here. ignore her rantings as you would those of a drunken albatross.
