Unfortunately this was bound to happen. MAYBE, things would've gone down differently if they weren't given an ultimatum through the press. Probably not, but we'll never know. But once that ultimatum was given, GNR was guaranteed to push the limits as much as they could.
Not that the band isn't at fault, because they are. But the promoter handled this whole thing horribly. Such is life when dealing with a band like Guns N' Roses I guess. It's hard to handle things well. Compare this though to Sturgis, where the organizer came out and took the blame for the late start.
The more I think about this, I don't think it was an ultimatum. I think the guy realised he might have to do it, so he took it public.
Imagine what the outrage would have been when he pulled the plug if no one knew of a possiblility it would happen.

Rehearse is an overstatement, but they knew what they were doing. They were told the plug would be pulled if they broke curfew, and then they broke curfew. It's not like it was some kind of suprise.

Hell, a local band I know did the opposite. They put a link on their own website to the myspace page saying to look there for updates. Now they can have songs up for interested people to hear, but they don't have to pay for the space to host them.

Have you heard this?
No I haven't ever heard that. I thought that was Fucking Awesome, and my initial reaction might have been more because that's closer to what I had in my head when I saw the initial link
Wow, OK then. A lot of those tracks sound like fully formed pieces, not "fucking around."
If you want fucking around, listen to ISOT, CD #13, or most of his most recent: Best Regards.
I definitely thought some of them sounded fully formed, but there's a middle ground somewhere between Buckethead and Axl... For what it's worth, It's much closer to Buckethead than Axl.
CORRECTION: It's more like Spaghetti Western meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Maybe my problem is that I'm not a horror movie guy?

Reading this I thoght "Wow, I'll bet a Buckethead take on bluegrass could be really cool... or maybe not"
Listening to it, it sort of made me wish for the days gone by where you couldn't just record yourself fucking around for an hour and call it an album.
I do realize that kind of thing is a lot of what Buckethead does these days, and some brilliant shit cam come from it at times, as a whole it just isn't really for me.
That said, I really want to hear the full songs of Overnight The Animatronics and skeleton Dance.

The Faces might be the most underrated band in the history of rock and roll.

It's funny because it's possible. The pauses between the drumming would give him more than enough time. Quite funny visual.
Ha, yeah that's exactly what I thought too.
I honestly had an image of him shoveling the last bit into his mouth right as Axl's playing the piano part at the end right before he has to kick in with the snare cadence.

This is one of those threads where I wish everything was like the facebook so I could just click "likes this".
