cineater Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Any of the St. Louis people hear it? lolThe place is now called UMB Bank Pavilion. It's their 20 year anniversary. The commercial is sampling a lot of bands that have played there. All the sudden they start playing GNR, then yank it and say something about he's still bitter about that. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyL Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I am still bitter too. For assholes that call themselves fans and pull shit like they did that night. I realize that crowds feed off of one another, but man sometimes you have to think before you act. Not dissing you Cin. hugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcountry Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) I haven't heard it but......If alll it was about was a camera Axl over reacted but if it was like he said a group causing trouble the whole show then maybe not.If you watch the footage on youtube shot from behind the stage just before and during the fans throwing shit, like chairs, the WHOLE band was back there like they where going to come back out then, they got the hell out of dodge when it got out of control.One of those things that should have been handled better on both sides. But for GNR fans it comes with the territory!!!Back in the day though that was considered "cool" and rock n roll! I remember Kirt on MTV news saying "Guns N Roses had an good old fashion rock n roll riot in St. Louis". Like it was nothing.

GNR123GNR456 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) Yeah, I remember reading in Slash's book (I think) that GN'R were supposed to go back on but the fan's started tearing the place apart.Supposablly Axl had asked security several times during the show to take the camera, but they never did so he took matter's into his own hand's. The person was also in a biker gang and they kept annoying Axl and trying to piss him off all night until the riot.

cineater Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 When they started playing GNR, I thought it kind of strange. And then they yanked the song and said something about him still being bitter, I got to wondering who's still bitter? Fuck it was 20 years ago, Kings of Leon walked out last year because of pigeon shit. And then I started trying to remember what band it was Axl said something about being pigeons. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't stick around for the melee',I got the fuck out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
