Good point about the Euro fanbase James.  Everyone was under the impression that the band could get away with touring in Europe, as they were more accepting.  I always thought that was grossly exaggerated.  I can't see how things could go any worse if they toured the US.

I still don't truly understand exactly why things have changed so much since 2006.  People didn't get THAT upset then and the same things are going on now and all chaos is breaking loose.  Again, the massive negative media attention from Reading/Leeds had to add fuel to the fire.  That's the only explanation I can see.  And they said there's no such thing as bad press.  They were wrong.

Well like I said, people are finally getting sick of it. It happens with more and more people and now entire crowds are starting to turn on them. Doesn't matter whether someone thinks its mob mentality or not. It's obviously a real problem and a pattern is developing.

If he loses Europe, it's over. What's he gonna do, keep bringing this rotating AFD shindig to South America over and over again? Shit, they'll dismantle that statue of Jesus and start pelting them with it piece by piece.

We're reaching the point where the hated "reunionists" are right.....

Gonna make people wait hours on end, Europeans sleeping on the street just cause they want to hear Jungle, etc.?

Time to bring the real thing back and get that top hat wearing, chain smoking motherfucker back onstage. People aren't gonna crawl across broken glass for imitations anymore.  Europe was new GNR's bread and butter which is quickly turning into burnt toast. If this keeps up, there's just no way this tour is gonna last.

Either move on or reunite. This middle ground shit isn't cutting the mustard. The Slash chants are back for a reason.

Bump in the road my ass. Name one other artist/band to experience a similar "bump".

Its been said before but needs saying again....

The housekeepers and faux journalists/"road managers" need to go back home and let some professionals operate this shindig before Axl/GNR get run completely into the ground. He pulls this crap here in the States, its over before it even starts.
