I have to say the level of drunkenness was quite something.

I have to agree, I normally never notice things like that but there was an air of menace around the arena, definitely alcohol related, but the band's carry on poured fuel on an already angry crowd.

id say there was as many drunk people at Pearl Jam, they didnt start chucking pints at EV tho

I'd agree with that actually. I thought the atmosphere was quite good up until about ten past ten (after the mexican waves). After that the booing started.

That's why I think:
He shouldn't have shown up late
Alcohol should have not been allowed to be carried onto the floor.
There should have been much better communication about what was happening.

Reading the first few posts is really fun..

Axl Being a bitch and having a tantrum is the LAST thing anybody expected.

Think Slash was very smart leaving that band.
Hope Velvet play here again. and SOON!!

I was at the gig last night and thought it was a magic show Axel kept disapearing and reapearing ,yeah the music was great during the rare occasions they where actualy playing but axel was a complete a##+•|* no respect for fans no sorry for being so late and no thanks at the end of the show, the audiance where just left standing there he just finished the last song and then ran off to cry himself to sleep

Why do you require an artist to respect, apologise, thank you and say goodbye. He is there to play music that is all. Do you expect a striker to come over and apologise for not scoring after a game? If you don't like the performance, don't watch them again or buy their records.

He isnt a megalomaniac primmadonna either.

abouttobebanned · 02-09-2010 3:25pm

It's because axl has a reputation that last night happened. People acted like "he's not going to do this to us- we're Irish. Ole ole ole ole....f**k you axl...boooooo" **throws bottle**

Oh god

I stayed, anybody who had any common sense and are a real fan and follow the band, knew they would be back out.
Its the Axl Rose show, and I found it very entertaining, not musically but for the drama and hysteria of it all! haha

Also, to the muppet who called the rest of the band chimps, go **** yourself, they are all far from chimps, DJ ashba("slash clone" as some head the ball "fans" said) is a excellent guitarist and IMO far better than the overhyped slash.

I dont agree, when the lights came on and employees and even a couple of Gardai told me it was over I presumed I should make my way to the exit.

I don't require it at all but I think it highlights what an a##=*|^ Axel is that can't even give that tiny bit of respect to the thousands of people who showed up to see him they didn't all throw bottles some would have went to alot of effort to go see him ,there where kids there standing around from 1830 till 00:45 a sorry might have been nice hear : )

axl is so rock n roll

Thats when I took my chance and got up to the barrier. What would the garda know? What would security know? The only people who knew was axl, and the promoter, and axls not gunna cum alll the way here to **** away a payday. Especially considering since CD was **** and didnt sell too good.

To me it was like "fans" leaving a football match when their team are 30 down.

I am expecting you to get a ban for calling me that.

I would easily throw stuff at the Coronas, Rhianna, XFactor or other rubbish like that. I wouldnt throw stuff at their person but on stage and at the equipment.

Wow. Just wow.

To carry on your football analogy, if a striker doesn't turn up for the starting whistle he doesn't play, simple as. The match doesn't wait for him because, you know, there are a whole selw of other things to consider.
Yet a prima donna as*hole gets to hold the entire show up and then not have the decency to apologize to people who keep him in the lifestyle he's accustomed to.
If the organisers and/or his management had any balls they'd put this simple detail down in balck and white, something along the lines of "The artist(s) will begin their set between such and such a time and end at such at time as has been agreed upon previously,. <Insert typical legal jargon here that might cover whatever other BS needs to be discussed> but at least it avoids sh*t like what happened last night.

Mr. Rose has got his last penny out of me too as a result. A few more people start doing this he might wake up to what he pissed away.

Nah, he just vocally ejaculated.

Axl's reputation preceedes him, that's why he gets all this abuse.

What has big got to do with anything?

It's 1 thing to be a technically marvellous guitarist, it's another thing to be technically marvellous and WRITE amazing music.

Now, what has DJ Asha Boutique written?

I doubt it. He's disappeared too far up his own a**e to care anymore.

A Primal Nut · 02-09-2010 3:49pm

Despite all the issues, I still think it was an awesome show.

What has slash written thats decent?

Oh big has nothing to do with it, maybe i should have said i found it abit ****. AFD is the only slash stuff i think is quality. The rest is mediocre rock n roll, it good but not amazing.

Manic Preacher · 02-09-2010 3:50pm

Axl was just being his usual self. I'd like to see anyone continue to stand there having bottles thrown at them. Axl gave everyone a fair warning and some idiots just kept throwing stuff onto the stage. 100% the fault of the scumbags in the audience throwing bottles

i suppose it was the scumbags fault that he was an hour and a half late as well!
The man is supposed to be a rock n roll star and he is afraid of a plastic bottle, what a wuss:eek:

Coma, Locomotive, Civil War, Don't Damn Me, Slither are just a few examples of songs written since AFD thats better than anything DJ Ashba has ever done. That not even including his lead guitar parts, which would be an absurd comparison because its not even close.
