I would still go Olorin, but I understand where you're coming from.
I guess I'm to weak. I can't say no to a night with beers, friends and GNR. Even if they show up late
Dont you have an essay to write?

Not going to the Belfast show. For every gig of this tour that they have thoughtlessly left the fans standing for hours in limbo, to me it has been as much of a big fuck you to fans across the world as its is to the fans suffering on the night. I wont support that shit and I'm certainly not going to so much trouble to see people with such a snide, selfish attitude.
Mabye by October I'll feel differently and they win me over again, then I might drive down to Manchester. As it is I'm happy with my memories of 2006

That was the deal and they knew it months in advance, and they gave reassurances to the organisers all the way along. Every other band on the day managed to play their sets at the allocated time, but GN'R are above that?

Festivals and concerts with multiple artists arent usually refundable, or its really at their discretion if they do or not, as if the event goes ahead, and missing 1 band, the event still went ahead, and thats what you paid for...
I mean for Belfast, I just cant see me going anymore. I really dislike their attitude towards the audience, its always been a bee in my bonnet about making people wait for hours, but there was always an excuse for the odd late show that sometimes happened.
In 2010 theres been no excuses and no attempt, ever, to do the fans a wee gesture and come on stage promptly. I just find it pretty reprehensible behaviour and dont really want to support it. If it was closer to home and more convenient I would still be going, I've got my ticket after all, but its a hassle and a half for me to travel there and I no longer think its worth it.

This festival has been going for 40 years or something, it is everything "about fans and music", fuck off DJ. Let me know when you's return the million dollar pay cheque or donate it to charity, seeing as you are all about the fans and music.

Fuck off you wanker, if you gave a fuck about the fans you would have came on promptly and gave them a show worth remembering.
I think this is the last straw for me, its a farce, they do not give a flying fuck about the fans. Theres no spinning it into heroic "we did it for the fans" drivel, they shat down the throat of everyone.

READING FESTIVAL - Apparently the promoter has had a personal grudge with GN'R stemming from 8 years ago, if this was the case why book the band? He knows our show. Let me guess... To take our fans money and then not allow us to give them a show that they payed for. This was clearly not a curfew thing because after cutting our power like a selfish money grubbing prick, he allowed music blasting through out the venue till the early morning. For us this was all about the fans, the show and the music. For the promoter it was all about the money and not about the fans or the music. The promoter was already being a cocky f$#k in the press before we arrived, so yes we went on a little late, and for this we apologies. However, our fans payed to see a show, and that's why we showed up, too give them just that. Sad that this promoter's music festival has little too do with the fans or the love for music. Last night was insane! They pulled the power, but failed to kill the connection as 90,000 people sang Paradise City. Much love to you all!!!"

Fuck jarmo, he's a revolting little creep. Spineless servants like him and the fucked up cultish blind propaganda he spouts so smugly turn me off this band as much as anything else. Utterly nauseating.

Go do your studies, this circus act just aint worth it. I have 2 important appointments the day after the Belfast gig I was going to have to miss due to travelling back home, now I'm almost certain I'm going to pull the plug on Belfast and put my energy and time into what deserves it most.
Are concert tickets non-refundable?

Its in the middle of a town. Reading and Leeds are both on a short leash with the authorities because there has been so much trouble at these gigs in the past, its not just about bringing money to the local economy as some fans on the boards seem to be focused on. The festival organisers genuinally have the powers that be breathing down their neck with a zero tolerance policy that threatens the future of the festivals. GNR knew the rules, they knew the appointed slot, theres no excuse for such unprofessionalism.
