I was talking to a friend last night on the phone, we got onto the topic of GNR cause he asked me how Belfast went. Anyway he was telling me that his girlfriends sister and friends were at Reading and they were bitterly disapointed with GNR, they werent diehards or even casual fans, just festival goers. The media might be having a field day but a much of the criticism is fair, well especially regarding Reading at any rate. They are certainly getting carried away with themselves, the positive and well recieved performance in Belfast hasnt even got a look in.

I'd be gutted if that was to happen and I'm more than a little concerned about Axls mental state at the moment, the reports of him with his head in is hands is very upsetting.
But seriously, you think the whole world should just adapt to Axl?

I think I can see the last of my hopes for a Glasgow date added to the UK tour flying through the air in this picture hmm

I remember at Glasgow Axl was singing at the front of the stage and a cup of something came flying out the crowd and crashed at his feet. He didnt stop singing, he just carried on and mopped it up with a towel, but I remember how his face was etched with sadness and disapointment.

Its horrible the band are having to face such hostility, theres no condoning any of the reckless thuggery from morons in the crowd, throwing anything is slap bang out of order. As for cup or bottles of piss, thats simply disgusting, noone on earth would be prepared to stand there and accept it.

Again... its not that difficult to take action to try prevent it completely or try to stop the tension escalating if there is a legitimate delay in setting up.

you guys act like i dont know what it is to wait for the band

in toronto 06 the band didnt come on til 1:30am for fuck sakes....

Its all connected, people are not so worked up just because of them being late on the night, its because they know they do it all the time and they are fuming that its happening again. The Reading and Leeds fiasco was so high profile that its really put the band under pressure cause fans here wont be prepared to swallow that shit anymore.

All hell would be unleashed over here in 2006 or 2010 if GNR were to attempt hitting the stage at 1.30am, but the venues would pull the plug long before they even got the chance to perform.

I dont think he was being a dick either, just doing his routine. I wonder if its just a wall of noise to them or if they can distinguish between boos and cheers.
I dont think much penetrates that lads skull either way to be honest, bless his cotton socks.

Its horrible.

But they're quite entitled to, the rock n roll spirit in full effect, eh Richard?

Did you see Axl appear at the side of the stage looking rather dishevelled when CD started? A lot of folk are saying he'd just arrived and Danko Jones were killing time during their set.
Sure the security should have ejected punters throwing things straight away, someone cocked up by saying show was over etc. Thats the fog of war, theres no doubt a moment where noone knows what the hell is going on.
But really c'mon, all this shit is so easily prevented, and he just never ever learns. He, the band, the crew have all fucking day to prepare. There is no excuses for such amaturish calamities night after night.
Start taking some fuckin pride in your work for god sake.
