Clearly someone that just doesn’t have much of a life. Like think how sad or boring his life must be that he feels the need to spend over €100 or whatever and then just spend hours angry and hate filled and shouting abuse. I’m surprised no one shut him up to be honest 😂

I heard someone somewhere to the right of me shout fuck you. Couldn't see who it was, if I could have I would have made sure they didn't make the same mistake again 😬

Axl said Frank had tried a few other requests...wonder which two got the turn down? General and Perhaps? Frank did say we know and want to play it....

This guy's on the forum and has some amazing close up shots (barrier dude?)

Nice to see.Michelle back, Axl is definately trying to enunciate certain lines/words to help, seems like a deliberate attempt to get round the current vocal limitations....he also seems to end songs better than he start them, anyone notice that? Another totally not logical thing about his voice!

Gotta love that dude at the start praying for "THIS I LOVE"!!! 

 

Yikes... this song played a few bpm slower kinda sucks. Zero percent swagger. Axl wasn't awful on it, but also not the best I've heard him do it in recent years

Not that I'd ever take his side, but yes, there's a time and a place.

His issue was that he was being a regular sarcastic prick internet user, and he should have come on as a professional GNR manager. He riled up the people and then they fired back. I agree that they shouldn't be insulting his family though. Insult the management strategy all you want, but nothing more personal.

Wrong. 

I was at that show in Dublin, front row and the crowd were really, really riled up. I had friends in the seats that were watching the crowd and thought there was going to be a riot (had he not returned it definitely would have escalated). People were of the opinion that show time is show time, and they didn't care that 'you should expect them on late'.

Maybe you were there too, but from my perspective that was the most pissed off crowd I've ever been in. Don't get me wrong, Axl was more than fair that night... he could have walked off after the first bottle but gave the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah I was there, and it wasn’t that bad. I’ve been in way hairier situations than that at gigs back home. Once things settled down it was fine. It was more pissed off confusion than potential riot. Lights up lights down. It’s over it’s not over. Harmless stuff. The crowd seemed mostly of people who knew the score regarding stage times and 20% who didn’t.  
 

I’m pretty sure it was one or two fucking assholes who weren’t there for the music who threw the bottles. I’ve been to hundreds of gigs all over Ireland and honestly never saw a bottle thrown at a stage till that night. I’ve seen bras,  knickers, drugs, people, alcohol, unlit cigarettes, porn mags, wallets all kinds of stuff thrown on stages but never a bottle or a glass. 
 

Anyway my original reply was to a statement “the majority of the crowd” and it wasn’t. To my eyes and ears at least 65% of people stayed and Axl sung his arse off. People were encouraging him and the others when they came back on around me. It was tiny minority who fucked that situation up and caused a lot of people to be pissed off and confused. It was never close to a riot though. Not from my perspective. (I’ve seen the odd riot in my time and the air has a different charge!)

What in my post is wrong? Everything I said is correct in that small little post. The majority of the crowd seemed pissed? It was the same at Reading+Leeds? The band were late the majority of that tour. So what is “wrong”? 😂 

I think whatever I post you class as “wrong” because you just don’t like me and because I have different views or opinions than you. Or maybe because I’m not an “OG” fan as yourself as you’ve clearly pointed out in the past. 
 

Also if you think I’m wrong in the future, give a reason, make it fun Mr Finger

You said in your original post “Oh god, the majority of that crowd was f**king awful!” I’m saying they weren’t, they were pissed off but when the band came back on the crowd were into it. I’ve been in way worse crowds atmosphere wise that’s for sure.

Fans of music are fans of music. Being an OG fan doesn’t come into it. Half the music I love was made by bands who’d broken up or guys who were dead before I got into them.
