They were not late the last time they played here.
They were late at Slane, almost twenty years ago.
Go back and read the comments on this thread a few hours BEFORE the gig and you will see that people (I being one of them) advised people not to expect Guns to show at 9pm, that it would be more likely be closer to 9.45.
So quit your bulls**ting that people are acting surprised he was late.
They are furious because he showed up at 10.30pm (90 minutes past stage show time) at a venue that has regularly enforced an 11pm curfew!!
I've read the reasons, don't you worry and I couldn't care less. Guns were on stage playing as normal and the crowd ruined this show for me. Axl did exactly what he's always headlined for doing. Fair enough in the RDS he was on time but no-one talked about that in the press near as much as they talk about his late appearances.
This is not an Irish thing, this is a well known tradition of Guns N' Roses tours, even in the days when Slash and the lads were there. I don't mind people booing, giving out - Guns invite that trouble upon themselves but throwing stuff is well out of order and that's what caused all the trouble.
If people are pissed then they've learnt their lesson. As for me, next time Guns come near Ireland I'll be there waiting with a nice big smile on my face, just like Belfast

You expect the press to write articles about Axl turning up on time?? :rolleyes:ticketsthere wrote: »I don't mind people booing, giving out - Guns invite that trouble upon themselves but throwing stuff is well out of order and that's what caused all the trouble.
Even if nobody threw plastic bottles, they were annoyed and who was going to enjoy a gig while booing, it causes a bad atmosphere.
If he had address the fact he was SOOOO late and that he had arranged a curfew extension, then people might have been more forgiving.
"No curfew tonight, we're playing till after midnight .. so call your mommies cause we're gonna have some fun, you ready to rock Dublin"
Something like that and he would have had the greatest audience (which is what Irish audiences are) eating out of his hand.ticketsthere wrote: »If people are pissed then they've learnt their lesson.

Go see Loaded next year when they tour the new album or Slash if he comes back, them lads actually appreciate and respect their fans.
Get this, they actually come on stage at the advertised time.
Honest.0 -

Haha, I regret not going to Slash actually. Tickets were long gone when I finally warmed up to the idea. Ah well, next time 0 -

But only if they throw ****, he doesn't mind the anger or the booing, it's the possibility of being hurt that makes him leave.
He should have asked Stephanie Seymour and Erin Everley about being hurt by glass...........I'm sure they would have helped him :rolleyes:0 -

No it's not but neither is it for fanbois ( i also love the term).
For someone that doesn't give two fiddlers about peoples grievances you - signed up for boards and have 50 posts in a thread blaming the crowd and telling people they should have known better.
Well I signed up a long time ago and haven't found another subject quite so engaging.
If Axl haters are coming on in their droves to denounce the man, then fans are allowed to come along and support him Mr. Moderator.
People want their grievances heard, hire a psychiatrist....maybe Axl can recommend one. 0 -

Sher what can you do? At least he didn't throw stuff at us 0 -
Routinely turning up late and when you do decide to show up sulking like a little girl shows a complete lack of respect for the fans.
The problem most people here have with you is you can't concede to this.
While I and many others have no problem in saying that throwing anything towards the stage is not acceptable and should not be condoned.
Take off the rose tinted glasses - pun completely intended.
Well, no-ones forcing them to go back and at least Guns won't sell many more gig tickets in Ireland anytime soon 0 -

LOL - fans are giving out about him, they are not all axl haters, something that seems beyond you to grasp. It also doesn't suit your argument though so i'd guess like most things that don't suit your point of view - you ignore it.0 -

I for one am proud of that (not the bottle throwing but eveything else)
I only wish the boos had've been louder and gone on for the entire show.
Your name is quite apt
I am too as it goes, and I am really proud of the fact that most people directed their attention and cheers to the rest of the band and almost ignored all of that.
This was the one gig I didn't bring my camera too, can't believe how bad the footage has been.
I would have shot some good HD footage of Axel standing and sitting at the back while the crowd went crazy for the DJ, Tommy and the Bummble Bum feller.
Some good angle footage of that would make Axl look like a real spolit brat asshole.
Also, nobody has said this, but did anyone notice that Axl kept watching the band as if he wanted someone to throw something at them?
I think he hated the fact they the crowd were cool after they came back on.
They had clearly told MCD that one more bottle and they were gone as when the band came back, everyone one of them, apart from Axl - came to the crowd and held up there fingers and said: "One more".
I actually thought at the time that this meant they were just doing one more song.
Maybe someone is sitting at home with some decent HD close-ups, if so - upload the stuff ya fecker 0 -

His voice wasn't too bad at all when he came back. I think it was due to him not moving or or wasting it on apologising to the crowd for being so late and treating them like sh*t.0 -

Yeah, a washed up one, that suffers from delusions of grandeur and still thinks he's in the heady days when he was able to command this type of behavior and disrespect hard working people pay to see.
He could get away with it 20 years ago but concert goers are now spending so much on over inflated ticket prices they want value for there hard earned money.0 -

...might be time to let this one go lads....
Agreed
Time the moaners admit they’re just old now and no longer have an ‘Appetite For Destruction’ You folks have an appetite for curfews and adherence to schedules and all that palava. Stick with bands that provide that comfort and certainty and leave bands like Guns N’ Roses to those of us who like to see something different from the schedule
Enjoy the petty claims court all you folks who absolutely must have your 70 quid back 0 -

I'll agree with you there, It's a band LIKE Guns n Roses. And certainly is something different.0 -

I wonder if the venue had a curfew.10:30 again in Milan last night with no drama from the crowd, except boos for Ashba wearing the Milan jersey!
I expect they got news GNR would be late and so hold back the support bands to make it seem all is normal.
A lad on a TV program (TV3 I think) made a good point, they said MCD said they have a history of being late, so why did they not tell them the gig was to start at 7pm
They were also mocking him as being the "hard man" who boo-hooed at a few plastic bottles got thrown up -they showed footage of some teenage looking X-factor type lad who did a gig earlier in the week and got a bottle to the head and kept going, after just giving some mild comment.0 -

FYP
In my case it wasn't seventy quid, it was a multiple of 70 (a whole number greater than 3 but less than 5 - you figure it out). I paid to see a professional musician put on a professional show. Didn't happen I'm afraid despite what your constant fanboi posts say here so its off to the SCC or maybe even the credit card company with this. Even if there's no money forthcoming from MCD, if enough people do it it'll play f*ck with their reputation as a promoter of concerts in Ireland.
'nuff said.0 -

You spent E280 on Guns N' Roses and you're calling me the fanboi? If you're not a fan, why spend nearly 300 quid on one show? I got two shows, a train journey and a hotel for better value that that.
Just leave it and learn. The hassle of going to a court will be much worse if you don't win and MCD (who I agree aren't really at fault - the O2 are the ones that wouldn’t let people back in) did an amazing job by getting Guns back on stage - a feat I've never seen any promoter manage in the bands history.
Next time, use E10 and just buy the album and leave their shows. They’ve gone on at 10:30 for all their shows on this tour and Dublin was the only one that booed them. Guess other countries just wanna have fun-un. Oh other countries just wanna have fun 0 -
