JungleCat Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 None of this would have happened if he had not made an ultimatum to an increasingly angry and drunk audience. Someone was bound tobreak it. He should have just said can you please stop throwing things, thanks, or tried to pick out the person who was throwing things.It was not good to punish whole crowd for one drunken guy's mistake. He squandered all the good will that he had even up to half ten,when he came on late.ok then thank you stop blaming Axl as it was clearly a security issue... it is not Axl's responsibility to pick people outAgreed. Since when is it any band's responsibility to act as their own security guards??! I just can't believe the amount of negativity on this board, especially towards Axl. Losers throw bottles at him (plastic or otherwise) and it's HIS fault. He hits the stage when he's ready - and when he goes on doesn't just depend on him! - and everyone's throwing a kindergarten hissy fit cause he didn't cater his showtime to perfectly meet each and every concert goers' needs. It's a ROCK CONCERT people, not a bedtime story. And no one turns into a fuckin' pumpkin or however that fairy tale goes if they're not home and snuggled up in bed by midnite. Can some of you just grow the fuck up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl Knows Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 3:40There you have it folks. The warning was given and some fuckwits didn't get the message. Axl was more than justified in his response.If a band is late, boos are expected. But piss-filled bottles being thrown at the stage? Get real. It''s as if ya'll expect Axl to put up with what basically no other musician would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyrie Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I wonder how long the band are going to stick with it, you can only take that kind of negativity for so long. Advertise when you are coming on stage, or come on stage closer to when it says on the ticket.Doing either eliminates all of the negativity and makes crowds happy.Tickets for most shows I've seen list when the doors open and maybe the start time of the event - rarely the time the middle and headlining acts go on.

It's not Axl's fault that the world became such HUGE PUSSIES that they cannot stay awake "cuz they have to work". Fucking idiots, if care that much about your time don't even go, it's fucking public knowledge that GNR shows up late everywhere... if you don't know this then you are not a fan of the band and do not deserve to be at the show.

But, it sounds to me like your anger is kind of clouding your view of what you're saying and how it comes across. It sounds like you're saying that Axl and the band asked for bottles to be thrown at them for being late instead of directing your anger at the idiot or idiots who threw bottles on stage, and holding them responsible for their poor decisions.Ali Edited September 2, 2010 by Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The facts will be presented tomorrow and perhaps you can take your eyes off Axl's ball sack for a few minutes to read them Facts? Sorry but this is very simple, and it's not just GN'R. This happens to many bands. Idiots throw shit. It's happened for decades now, and it's simple:1) Idiots throw shit2) Band gives a warning3) Idiots continue to throw shit4) Band follows through on warning and leavesIt was nice of them to come back. I wouldn't have. I've seen other bands leave when this shit goes down. And it has nothing to do with being late, I've seen idiots throw shit at bands that were on time. They just want attention. They want to be the Grinch.I think this is the third time I'm saying this now:If a chick is meeting you for dinner, and she's late, do you bottle her in the face?No, you fucking don't.Blame the assholes who threw shit. They have a combined IQ of about 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck that. Other folks that attended the concert also said their were piss in some of those bottles. FUCK THAT! The fact that they kept on playing is amazing!Complete bullshit that they have to deal with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
