grow the fuck up. Preach anarchy and Rock n' Roll all you want fact of the matter is there's things set in place and people follow them.
exactly. & i choose to follow different things than you.
there's your way, the wrong way, and then there's many other ways. but they can only be got to by realising how boring & horrible your way is.
i thought i could live in ur world as years all went bye.. but then i realised i don't want to. it's much more fun outside.

It's the RULES.

the root of the issue is an 11pm or even 11:30pm curfew is inherently wrong & people should be protesting the issue instead of letting it & rock n roll become standardised & homogenised. anyone who appreciates the freedom music, rock n roll, affords should be above nonsensical & detrimental rules that take away from the experience (that same rule of thumb applies to the setlist complaints btw).
rock n roll shouldn't be dictated to by money men, concert promoters or local councils. it should controlled by those who believe in it.

the more i think about it the more i think axl was correct if he was making a statement by purposefully breaking the curfew.
somebody's got to be the bad guy. someone's got to stand up to the conventional homongenised way of thinking, somebody's got to question that supposed wisdom & the impact that has. & axl is in a position to do that. we all are to some extent, but he's got a megaphone compared to the rest of us. he's got a rock n roll band.

IF it were any other band doing what GnR did last night people would be commending them - or they should be.
an 11.30PM curfew is an insult to any sensible person let alone a rock n roll festival on a fucking friday.
it's not like they're rockin the suburbs @ half 4 in the morning on a weekday. if people can't host a rock gig after midnight they shouldn't bother.
and the amazing thing is, the curfew is normally 11:00PM!! GnR got it extended especially until 11:30PM. & they got 30mins extra after that.

he's deluded if he believes what he's saying. i struggle to believe anyone could be that insane. there is no way 90,000 people were connecting to PC @ the end of the show. maybe 90,000 people booing at the start of the show.

just because the promoter behaved unprofessionally doesn't mean axl/GnR have to.. i can see axl's pov if if he did come on late to spite the promoter but that needs to be weighed against the greater good which is the fans who want to see the band & IF the delay was axl proving a point & the cancellation of leeds is completely unjustiable.
just because a promoter is a dick doesn't mean the fans should suffer a substandard show or no-show.
