Fantomas - 4-30-05

After that, there was one unpleasant episode. Two Guns buses raced from Indiana to Philadelphia all night for two shows starting August 4. But the guard at the Philadelphia Spectrum did not want to park Axl's bus because they were only waiting for one car from the warming group. Axl got off the bus, and the situation was aggravated by screams and threats. Axl’s brother, Stuart Bailey, who worked for him, tried to settle the conflict, but he didn’t succeed, and soon the two brothers were surrounded by a dozen big men in identical T-shirts and a couple of obviously outspoken Philadelphia cops who were not in execution. The cops grabbed Axl and began to beat him. Arrest helped to escape in time with help in the person of Doug Goldstein and the road team, but Axl was still furious. When the Guns started the performance at eight o’clock,a tense atmosphere reigned behind the scene.
