Guns N' Roses - o2 Dublin September 1st

[kyrie]

Axl should appear at a more reasonable time, but at the same time, I don't blame them for leaving if bottles are being thrown.

10:30 isn't reasonable???

It's not a fucking choir meeting!!!

[Nobodys_Fault]

Security will take the blame for this... crowd shouldn't have bottles in the 02. (if the band were in fact bottled)

[Ali]

And whos to blame if a riot breaks out.. gnr or the shit throwing people!?

the people, but it will be blamed on the band

People shouldn't throw things, but if the band comes on at a reasonable time the crowd never becomes aggitated and bottles don't get thrown.

The late start creates the conditions for a hostile crowd. That is all on Axl.

Bullshit. This is exactly what I'm talking about.

People shouldn't throw things, period. These people made a choice to pick up a bottle and throw it. They, and they alone, are responsible for their choices. Just like Axl is responsible for his choices. It goes both ways.

Whilst throwing a bottle isn't right I don't get why thousands of people should have to suffer because one or two people throw bottles. Get them chucked out and carry on the show. Hell I went to a show and the band got a shoe thrown at them and they carried on.

What Axl doesn't get is that most of the arena were probably fans of the band and having a good time and now will remember the time they got ripped off. Lots of bands have stuff thrown at them and carry on. Also, people probably do it to get a reaction, now, if he didn't react it wouldn't happen.

Added: Appears the show is back on according to an above post....

an hour isnt that long. have a drink and grow up.

people on the rails have prob been there for hours not just an hour

only in the minds of GN'R fans is it acceptable to say an hour isnt that long to wait

What time is printed on the ticket? That is where people's expectations come from that aren't registered on the message board.

As I have said repeatedly, clarifying that would do a world of good as far as eliminating any type of confusion on the part of people going to the show about when they can expect the band on stage.

Richard solo - Bond theme

Woman going mental at Axl on that radio show.

+1

However this won't ever happen as it would hurt ticket sales. Also, no other band goes on this late.

[juadlu]

listenning to the radio- whatever has gone on-it sounds bad for the band

[axl8302]

didnt they go on at 10:30? thats early....

i dont mind stuff like t-shirts, flags, bras, etc.. being thrown on stage....but bottles? why is it always in Great Britain where this shit happens?

This is in Ireland, not Great Britain.

[GNR123GNR456]

Is it really over?

I can't believe this stuff. It getting to the point where it is to much. I mean, I'm not there, but if I was I'll be pissed, like the pople are that are there.

I'm a fan of Axl and he's a good songwriter and frontman, but he's gotta do something. I'm not saying change his whole lifestyle, but coming on late has had two kinds of possibilies:

1) you come on, play Chinese Democracy and the crowd get's jumping an into the song and welcomes the band with open arms

or

2) you come on, the fans boo, throw bottles and cuss word's at you, than you leave. With a possible riot and damage to the venue and some people.

This whole blaming other people is getting old and so is he. He's either gotta stop being up all night and sleeping before the concert backstage o rwrite scheduled start time: 10:30, so if Axl is ready at 11, it'll be a half an hour late and not 2 hours late.

Even though no one deserves to have bottles thrown at them, it's their own fault. As you wait or "sleep," the fans become reckless and drunk. They don't want to tolerate this anymore. I realieze "this is Axl Rose and he always comes late," but seeing the circumstances and consequences that were at Reading, you would think Axl wouldn't do this kind of stuff. It's the first concert since Leeds and it's ends after 5 songs? Really.

[suckerpunched03]

an hour isnt that long for any event. any concert i go to, you can expect at least 30 -45 minutes between. an hour is slightly longer. maybe if your over the age 38 and your a sour puss you can have a gripe

This i love

[The Sandman]

Mental - I can't believe the attitude of some people. Throwing bottles? Disgusting.

[Phanatic]

So how long did some wait between the time that GnR left stage and the time they went back on?

I am really glad, and surprised, that they came back.

[AngelZ]

has nothin to do with age

even 15 year olds have to catch a train or bus home

an hour wait with no explanation is long enough to stand around drink some more and wonder if the band will even show

if another band that isnt notorious for leaving their fans in the dark go on an hour late once in awhile fans dont have a panic attack or become hostile

but the constant disrespect for time has run its course it seems.......................good

According to a girl who just spoke on the radio about 20 minutes.

[Guest]

Apparently they went off. Came back on 20 mins later. Went off again. And have now come back on again

[Demon Wolf]

I don't defend going on late, but throwing bottles is NEVER JUSTIFIED.

Jesus christ some people. You go to a gig and then you throw fucking bottles at the act you've paid to see. Idiots.

Surely everyone who got tickets must've realized that GNR might not start at the very minute specified on them?

I swear Axl could do anything and some people would defend it. Person on the radio said that at 12am the car park closes and you're being charged €100 if you leave it there overnight.

[appetite for illusions]

This like, can't be happening right now...

Huge thanks for posting the radio stream man, this is unreal. Waited til after 10 to see them in Glasgow and 06 and there was no fuckin problem.

And some fuckin moron called in and said the band finished at around 1am last night. Jesus Christ.
