ITW 2012 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Anybody else a little disappointed that there wasn't a riot after the show? It was a very anticlimactic ending to the past few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketKing99 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Most people in the crowd were hipster-posers. No way there could be a riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 No. Nothing could have been better than the atmosphere at the show. Lot of love for the band in the air, for a riot to happen it would have taken some kind of dischord, which would have totally fucked up the night.

ITW 2012 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) Some fires and smashed bottles would have been nice. The Guns camp made such a big deal over the curfew bullshit, and then they just went out and played a normal show, with nothing out of the ordinary in the setlist, and no rants from Axl. Like a sizzle without the steak.Most people in the crowd were hipster-posers.

But its time too let it go, a riot would have been stupid, and all we would have got from "crazy" old Axl is a pseudo intellectual tweet about how it was someone else's fault. How exciting would that have been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we were hoping they''d do something interesting to back up their bravado of the past few days.I also like the band's music but unfortunately they hardly ever release any.

You fucking idiot.Dude, you're taking this way too seriously. Nobody has ever died from a GNR riot.No, but a lot of people did get seriously hurt during the riots in St. Louis, Montreal, and Vancouver. In all honesty, we all know you'd be running for dear life if you where in a riot, so stop trying to make it seem cool to be apart of something very dangerous, because I'm sure you don't want to be in a hospital due to a broken arm or something. GnR can play a great show without the help of a riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a blast at the 2 shows I went to here in Canada. Since then they've really scaled back on CD material though and things have become a bit stale.

WhazUp Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Why would anyone WANT a riot?People get hurt, or sometimes killed during riots.What I want is a fucking rock n' roll band to put on a great show and connect with the audience.

ITW 2012 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 It ended with Axl complaining about them not being able to play as long as the promoter had promised. Would have been a lot cooler if he forced the issue by playing until there was some sort of confrontation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Terminator Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 What a stupid fucking topic. Do you even realise the devastating effect a riot has?I was at the Download gig in 2006 and there were riots then. And it was not pretty.I was at the show tonight and Guns were outstanding. No need for anybody to go burning the park up and destroying all of the vendors.Seriously dude, think before you post a topic like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Moon Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 he is clearly just having some fun people. lighten up.of course i wanted the show to work out, im very glad axl showed up and delivered for the fans.but at the same time, its always fun when shit gets interesting. i haven't been interested in the recent shows all that much (i dont read the setlists..i dont really care, release CDII axl), but reading on Friday was glorious. its even better since axl came thru and made leeds happen.
