GET OFF AXLS BACK Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 jesus whining cunts - theyre going to a rock n roll gig rock n roll isr rebellion late show great fuck work call in sick book a day off thats what i do when i see gnr fuck me its been goin on years good thank god for axl last rock hero alive you go to guns you know what your in forI do agree, but you've got to remember that there's also somethings you can't take a day off for. Parental duties for instanceWell, if you're a parent, maybe you shouldn't be going to concerts in the first place if it's going to effect the kids.I have kids, I also have relatives that are keeping them over night on the understanding it's going to be late. Without them I wouldn't go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, i'm just a student, I don't give a shit waiting and not getting home until 3/4am, but other people have things to do the next day and they should be able to go see their favourite band and not have to book time off work, or have it effecting other areas of their life. Other bands have no problem getting on stage at a reasonable hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RonMexico82 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 The hardcore fans are in the minority at the gigs. That's what happens when you do a disappearing act for a decade and realise one album since 1994. You become a greatest hits nostalgia band and your audience changes.

It's called being a parent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took my son to see GnR in Orlando he was 9 at the time, i was fully aware of what would happen and prepped him and brought is DSI video game to pass the time. He made it to the first encore then was too tired and his mom took him back to the hotel. I stayed until the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that doesn't absolve Axl from blame and should do more to get on stage prompt and respect his fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RonMexico82 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Greatest hits fans don't pay attention to stuff like that. What's accepted as common knowledge here is not the case in the real world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, the concerts start pretty late to begin with.I went to the Denver show and the ticket said 9pm for the opening act. That's already pretty late, but you knew that when you bought the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Broue Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Most of the audience these days is casual fans and middle aged fans with young families and careers. Axl might not have changed but the audience has.ThisI personally don't mind if Axl late. The last time when i saw them, i wait 3 hours for the GNR show. Drink more beers, get half-drunk, make friends etc, but the major audience is not like me. LikeRonMexico said: Axl might not have changed but the audience has.But throwing things to the stage not helps the situation. use it or lose it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GET OFF AXLS BACK Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 It continues to astound me that 'fans' of GNR don't know Axl Rose might be late... I know several people attending Glasgow who's closest contact with GnR is NR on the radio, far more casuals now and that makes them less patient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RonMexico82 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 You'd be surprised at the amount of "fans" that barely know more than Sweet Child O' Mine that attend these shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KetchupNotMayo Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 It continues to astound me that 'fans' of GNR don't know Axl Rose might be late... Not everyone has hundreds of posts on a fan forum like you or I though. Many know the band only for their biggest moments, so have bought a ticket to enjoy the ride and see how things panned out. I agree that for us it's almost second nature and the wait is nothing to me, having seen 2 GN'R shows in the past and being used to the wait; to the casual fan who perhaps isn't so aware though, having to deal with a 3 hour wait then possibly getting home in the early hours of the morning before work just isn't fair on someone who only wants to see a band play some kickass tunes. It's not like the going on late improves the show or whatever, all it does is prolong the wait and increase the chances of rowdiness and fan suffering.
