Will be a messy few days for MCD.

Hardly. They're still playing. That means they won't have to give any refunds.

But people have parted with their hard earned cash and may not see again it despite what he did tonight.

One o my mates called to vent his anger 'i spent so much money etc' 10 mins later called to let us know he was let back in so some people obviously could get back in!!

Who's playing guitar with GnR at the moment anyhow? BumbleFoot maybe?

I wonder if MCD agreed to cover or waiver the fines for Axl breaking curfew in order to get him back on stage?

I know those charges are usually high but it would still probably be cheaper than dishing out all those refunds.

Im not one bit surprised by his actions and i doubt anyone else is!

i wouldnt cross the street to see them and i think many more people will feel the same

thats a fair point, but then again, gnr have been playing past the curfew in many venues on this tour, axl just seems to believe that he's above everything and everyone else....

What a waste of time it was. I'm not even angry that he left after 20 minutes as he gave a warning after 2 plastic bottles and walked off after a glass one. I'm disgusted more by his 1 hour delay in starting up. Sadly, this guy proved to be a redneck. Bottlethrowers are just stupid c..nts and organizers should keep greater distance between 'fans' & stage + security guards should be watching, like it was on other rock concerts I was. People were even rougher than northern dubs and still such incidents were preventing by tighter security control + no glass bottles (only plastic cups) sold in the venue.

i am so happy i went to blink in the 02 last night over this.

Fandango

At the end of the day, hate people with the "I play music, im above the rest of you" attitude, but most of them do it for show. Take Liam Gallagher, he acts the part but (being someone who doesnt like Oasis at all) he still respects the fans and knows they put him where he is today. Axl doesnt see that and seems to treat fans, bandmates alike, like absolute dirt. As someone who isnt a major Guns and Roses fan but loves their music all the same, if i saw Axl begging for change on the street, i wouldnt give that tool a cent! If he doesnt respect any other human being, im certainly not gonna respect him!

In fairness, you'd need to be about 100 yards away to be unable to throw a bottle!

From our point off view, sitting in front of our laptops, but you really got to feel for the people down in the o2 now who were really looking forward to a good show.

One of my relatives was at it. He spotted the band standing at the tour bus on his way out of the gig, and shouted out "Axl you're a sellout !". Fair play to him

I'm pretty sure the Gestapo MCD will have them taken offline pretty quicksmart!

There were no glass bottles thrown, only plastic. And Justin ****ing Bieber can laugh off a plastic bottle but Axl Rose can't? Don't try and justify his dickery.

When there's over 420 people on a forum that isn't after hours, you know something fun is happening

Had great fun reading through this thread, sounds like a disaster alright!

And from a singer who played in some of the biggest Dives in their early career when projectiles being thrown at the stage were part and parcel of a live gig.

I'm not condoning people lobbing stuff onstage but most rock & metal bands still get it now and again and just deal with it.

All I have to say is..



This thread is great reading. Sounds like an absolute nightmare...

Sounds like the 02 emptied quicker than when poor auld Bernard Dunne got Ko'd last year.

Wow Danko Jones played for 90 mins

Did they really?

Have never listened to their recorded stuff but they were a fun band live when I saw them. Wouldn't snub them as a supporting act.

They will get publicity from this, that's the one upside. It was the focal point of Reading and Leeds this year and I expect the Dublin gig to get a decent amount of media coverage from tomorrow.

Hearing about this makes me all the more happy that I went to see Iron Maiden a month ago. Now there's a band (frontman) who knows how to age gracefully.

Then again, this is good craic for anyone who didn't go, to listen to what a shambles the show is. My condolences to anyone who had the misfortune to waste money on Axl though.

Yukina

well whoever said it, well done lad!

What good are all those annoying people with camera phones at gigs if they don't upload the good stuff after a gig like this?

Come on!

And at this rate, there's no doubt in my mind that i would much rather buy a Justin Bieber ticket that put my money in that plastic faced has-been's pocket!

Spoogle3000

after reading through and listening to FM104, i really do doubt that any more promoters will get them if Axl is gona act like that on stage, they'll probably do the gigs the contracted to do and fe*k off..........hopefully
