Gordon Comstock Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Quote “We planned for 8:00 p.m., and I confirmed with him like, 40 times — I had him set multiple alerts in his phone while I watched in a Zoom conference, so he definitely knew exactly when to be ready,” shouted Guns N’ Roses lead guitarist Slash while stress-punching a hole through his top hat and pacing his living room in a rage. If you replace the name Slash with Bumblefoot, this has probably actually happened Edited April 16, 2020 by Gordon Comstock 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without needing to think or even begin to consider thinking about it I immediately said no that's a fake article, he wouldn't stream from his home or do that for free, no fucking way. I'd be delighted for him to be six hours late as long as there was actually something happening! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 It’s funny, but the whole Axl is late joke is kinda getting old and has been generally untrue for a while 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check any thread on reddit related to Axl Rose, it'll be about how much of an asshole he is for still being late to shows, or GNR/NITL and it'll be about how they'd rather not go to a show that Axl won't bother to show up to. You'll get people correcting this in replies, but he still hasn't really managed to shake that reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I've got to the point where I actually wish something like this was true! A few no shows and late starts would at least be something to shake things up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being late/not showing up is probably the number 1 thing he's been known for now for the past 20 years. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 This might get a laugh out of some of you. My dad sent me this article last night, I told him it was a funny joke. He didn’t think it was a joke, he is trying to convince me it’s real and actually happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say that, but when they had that brief jaunt through North America earlier this year, the first show started a little late (for the very good reason of making sure everyone got in the venue) and the whole board had a meltdown. It meant Slash and Axl were done and this would be the last tour. Edited April 17, 2020 by themadcaplaughs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicklord Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 He was like 90 minutes late when I saw him in 2012 and that was a festival (Exit in Serbia). That's recent enough to fuel the "Axl is late" thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if they turned up and played some high profile world events and went on early or perfectly on time (Live aid / earth deals) then maybe that would improve things a bit. End of the day, this is a joke. If it was a review of gnr now, then yeah it would be unfair but we can all enjoy the funny side of Axl and GNR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
