VOKALIS Guns N' Roses, Axl Rose melarang ada penonton yang mengenakan kaus bergambar Saul 'Slash' Hudson, mantan gitaris GNR.
"Karena itu untuk kelancaran konser, kami berharap penonton tidak memakai kaos bergambar Slash," kata Operation Director Indika Productions Praditya Sutrisno di Jakarta.
Meski Axl dan Slash tercatat sebagai pendiri dan menjadi ruh GN'R, hubungan keduanya kini memang tidak akur pasca bubarnya formasi awal GN'R pada 1996 silam.
Selain terkenal liar di atas panggung, Axl juga selalu memiliki perilaku dan permintaan 'nyeleneh' dalam setiap penampilannya. "Axl minta ada mawar merah dan mawar putih masing-masing selusin di kamarnya. Ia juga meminta shower di ruang tunggu belakang panggung untuk semua personel," ungkap Praditya.
Terkait penjualan tiket, Praditya mengaku sejak penjualan tiket dibuka sebulan lalu, penjualan tiket terus meningkat. Untuk kelas VIP yang dibanderol di Rp2,2 juta, 1.000 tiket yang disediakan sudah habis terjual hingga Kamis (13/12).
"Untuk tiket kelas festival A seharga Rp1,21 juta dan festival B seharga Rp770 ribu sudah mendekati sold out," tukasnya.
VOCALIST of Guns N' Roses, Axl Rose, wants the audience not to wear T-shirts with pictures of Saul 'Slash' Hudson, former guitarist of the band.
“It is for the sake of the concert. We hope that audiences do not wear Slash T-shirts,” says Operational Director of Indika Productions, Praditya Sutrisno, in Jakarta.
Though Axl and Slash are the founders and the spirit of the band, both are in unfriendly terms with each other since the break-up of the band’s initial formation in 1996.
Known for his wild performance on stage, Axl also has ‘strange’ behavior and demand in each of his performance. “He asks a dozen of red and white roses to be put in his bedroom. He also asks for backstage showers for all the band members,” says Praditya.
On ticket sales, Praditya admits that since its opening last month, the sale keeps increasing. For VIP class, ticket is sold at Rp 2.2 million, and 1,000 tickets had been sold out until Thursday (13/12).
“For Festival A, the ticket is priced at Rp 1.21 million, and Festival B is at Rp 770,000, and they are almost sold out,” he says.
