My bad. I'm terribly sorry. I meant Belfast. I don't even know how I managed to make this mistake. Belfast, of course.

#1482 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash live - Do It For The Kids added to the set » 844 weeks ago
I'd also like to add, (without turning into another Slash vs Axl debate) that Slash and his live band are complete opposite to the trainwreck of problems GN'R currently is.
Slash and his crew are out there playing sold out shows, albeit to smaller crowds, and giving awesome rocking performances, without any issues, bullshit or unnecessary drama that seems to follow GN'R.
They are a shining example of what any great rock band should be doing, and doing it well.
Yeah, Slash has been adding more and more songs to his set, while Axl has been cutting it to less and less.
I'm not a DIFK fan, but I welcome every new song played. I wish he'd add some more Snakepit (he mentioned Lower a few weeks back, as his favourite song off Five O'Clock). I've seen Slash this year @ Novarock and the show was insanely great. The tunes were really alive.

There would have to be like 1:1,000 odds on that. It'd pay off pretty big.
Normally I'd say there's no way Axl will bow to anyone, but I think he actually did last night. He obviously didn't want to continue after he left the stage but was forced to go out there and finish up. That's the first time I can remember him doing something seemingly against his will.
I agree. It's obvious that Axl forced himself to go back (a few hours later 
) and finish the show, otherwise the tour would have been done. The whole tour.
My bet is they'll be on the stage just on time to 'show the world' that they are 'great guys' and some other people are to blame. That's why he managed to hit the stage on time in Belfast.

Our start times at the Reading and Leeds festivals factually had nothing to do with us as the previous bands (who were great by the way) came off stage when they did and we went on within' our contracted and documented changeover time period.
Whatever other nonsense anyone's choosing to write would appear intentionally false.
Having the fans or our show penalized for how the event was ran or simply the natural flow of events those evenings and for such minimal amount of overtime along with distortions and falsehoods by media, the promoter and or event organizers regarding the events seems a bit draconian and more than unfair to the fans.
A simple question: If you are aware of our changeover time, the average length of our show and the general nature of how these types of festivals run all of which are no big secrets...why book us?
Is it simply because the lineup on our nights at both festivals sold well? So it's a cash grab with no respect for the fans or the band and somehow an unwanted inconvenience for the cities and law enforcement? If we're not wanted and just being used to line someone else's pockets or for fictitious tabloid fodder at the fans and our expense we're fine with going elsewhere. God forbid we would force ourselves on anyone. It's not that kinda party.
I didn't organize, arrange, authorize, have knowledge of or was even consulted about our being booked for these shows till after the fact nor did I choose to work with anyone I'm aware of other than our manager who was involved in arranging these dates. Yet it would appear we're amazingly often legally obligated to honor such arrangements whether against our will or better judgment. That's simply and unfortunately how this business often works with the artist and imo seems is legally supported to benefit managers, agents, promoters and ticket vendors.
With how the fans and we were treated in the past I had what I feel were legitimate and now proven justified apprehensions. Yet we gave 100% and from where we stood it seemed as if the both the fans (who rocked!) and our camp were having fun and making the most of things.
Why (and what would appear intentionally) risk having it go bad for everyone? Imo that's where true recklessness and negligence at both the fans and our expense would seem to be.
Anyway...thanks again to all the fans who made our nights!!
Peace!!

So, they have 1.5 hours to do a great show. I hope for the best. Im going to bed. Some people have to work!
Yeah, the only interesting thing about this show was when they'd hit the stage.

'The only thing that I know is that I've got to finish at 11pm (BST). That's the issue really.'
#1488 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R Twitter Updates » 845 weeks ago
Whatever the schedule is, Axl comes at least an hour late. It was wise to schedule GN'R 30 minutes earlier than the other headliners.
#1489 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R Twitter Updates » 845 weeks ago
leodhasach RT @gunsnroses The show tonight at #leedsfestival is ON!.... But not ON TIME apparently.
TheArkLeeds No Guns N' Roses so far...
StuartEdwards It would be great if @axlrose came on stage now
#1490 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R Twitter Updates » 845 weeks ago
They were terribly late. At least they could have left out the boring solos. They chose not to, although most bands play no solos, but songs only, cause they have less time to perform than on a 'normal' show. It proves furthermore how much they care.
