auad Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 The GNR is notorious for climbing on stage later, from the time the band was Guns N 'Roses, but the patience of the fans was tested last night [May 29] when the group took the stage not to after 11 pm - three hours later than advertised. The band performed at Manchester's Arena, and according to the organizers, the show should have closed at 11pm. The band hit the stage at 23:15, played a set of 33 songs for three hours, and ended his performance at 2:15 in the morning. At the end of the show, only 6000 people persisted at the site - 10,000 less than they had entered. Many who attended the concert enervaram up and protested via Twitter. Alison Parker tweeted: "I'm a bitch. Guns N 'Roses? No, Goons and Losers [something like 'stupid and losers']. I had to leave to catch the last train before they agraciassem us with their presence. Disgusted. "An audience member also allegedly showed his anger by playing a brooch in Axl Rose, who struck during 'Welcome To The Jungle'.http://playadelnacho.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/gnr-mkvii-banda-atrasa-tres-horas-e-60-do-publico-vai-embora/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma16 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) So much wrong with this article. But if 6K of 10K were still there then only 40% walk away. They can't even get basic math right...Edit: Egg on my face. I thought it read that 10K was total....Wow, the fact (it must be fact if it is in the article) that they sold 16K tickets for a Tuesday night show is pretty good!

SONOFABITCH Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Everything is fine for me when I walk in at 10 PM. No way I am getting there early and turning it into a 6-7 hour ordeal. F that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazey Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I think it's lost in translation somehow. One article I read said 40% of the crowd left, not 40% WERE left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeetarMikey Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Tbh, it was a good chunk of the crowd whatever way you look at it. Standing was only ever half full really. Oh well, more space to get closer I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 The issue isn't how accurate the news report is.The issue is the band performing at a time (whatever time that was) that ended up with almost half the crowd leaving before the end of the show. I would never leave a GnR show early. But I can understand why fans do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazey Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) but everyone knows the drill beforehandI honestly don't think that the majority of the crowd do realise that. Edited May 30, 2012 by Dazey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
