Amir Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Don't think they meant any harm by it. Axl got a pack of Guinness from them when he came to Dublin in '06, think it's just a custom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WhazUp Posted November 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2014 First they piss everyone off by giving away their album for free then they give free beer to alcoholics, man these Dublin kids are on a mad tear! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Didn't they send a crate of Jameson or Guinness to Guns when they played Slane Castle back in the day? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Bono probably ordered a few cases for himself. http://www.nbcnews.com/watch/nbc-news/bono-on-plane-accident-it-was-a-bit-scary-really-358010435861 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Totally awkward. Obviously they didn't mean any harm by it and I think it's pretty much their standard gift they give but still they are in the music industry and they'd have to be living under a rock not to know this was an inappropriate gift for Slash, a recovering alcoholic. Again though obviously they didn't mean any harm by it. Still awkward and a total face palm moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfierose Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I guess being around alcohol is something ex addicts have to come to terms with. I'm sure Slash is used to it, from what I gather Perla still drinks and probably most of his friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosaj Thing Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I don't see what's the problem. I remember George Lopez gave Slash a big pack of cigarette boxes and he just laughed about it.Cool gesture by the Dublin band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Slash is used to it, from what I gather Perla still drinks and probably most of his friends.One of the things that they do to the people that are around the recovering alcoholic (wife, family, etc.) is tell them not to change their habits when it comes to drinking.
