GNR -last night lots of unsavory characters at 02

Lemmy Scott

im not happy with the disrespect a lot of Dublin knackers showed Mr Rose last night -made me ashamed to be Irish

Yakult

Someone from the o2 crew should have said about the delay instead of letting people wait around not knowing whats going on.
The crowd should not have reacted like they did but its understandable.
As for the band, whats new there? (More so axl)

Overall, a great night ruined by all involved.

Lemmy Scott

From being there myself and being in contact with others a lot of the booing came from Dublin scumbags who showed no class at all while their country brothers showed more resiliance to the difficulties .there was a jackeen twang off the boos if i do say so myself -feckin scuts

Het-Field

Did anybody else catch a glimps of the fellow who was walking around with three river rock bottles full of piss ? Iv never been so disgusted by another human being in all my life.

Cool your jets there, was quite a few countrywide knackers judging by the accents in the O2 last night.

As for being ashamed, thats up to yourself, there's only one man who should of been ashamed this morning.

You release a fairly weak album. You tour to promote it. You give the two fingers to your fans by not bothering your arse to start at a reasonable time and at some gigs you also leave early (for whatever reason).
As I said in another thread, you have to earn respect.
I've been at several gigs over the last 25 years (mostly but not all metal). I don't recall any other band ever coming on late. However, I don't recall the band ever being bottled.

As for the "Dublin knackers" - how did you manage to find out that they were all from Dublin? You sure did a lot of mingling during the "intermission"!

Travelled seven hours in total to and from the gig myself, but did meet one Limerick guy in the smoking area who was roaring and shouting, trying to round up people to storm the dressing room. I might lay those bottle throwing odds with Betfair and make a tidy sum....;)

Slight difficulty working this out, so what you're saying is Dublin people treat bands poorly in the O2? How was this assumption made?

Apparently he met them all during the intermission!

/Ignores most of rubbish said here

Reading about this and other threads in recent times on gigs it seems there is a worrying trend developing at bigger shows, and the throwing of beer and the bottle'o'piss. Maybe I'm just getting old but as a concert veteran of over 200 it seems that I'm hearing about more unpleasantness in the last 6 months at gigs than the last 10 years .

Scumbag element seems to be creeping back into concerts that I haven't seen since the early 90's. There are always pissed dickheads at gigs but there seems to be a nastiness to them recently and more of them? Age and where they are from is not a factor as was suggested though.

I suppose the organisers of the Reading & Leeds festival are Dublin knackers and jackeen scuts too? Nothing to do with Axl being a **** or anything.

OK then - I'll bite again.
Name me one band/artist that played here but appeared about 90 minutes late (for no particular reason) and wasn't booed?
In fact name a band who did this irrespective of the boos!

I recall Faith No More who were doing Top of the Pops in London and ended up being late for the gig in the Top Hat. However, they apologised for being late and did a full gig. At no point can I recall any abuse from their fans because they had a genuine reason and also apologised.

Too many threads been made on this subject.

And I have to say, that's the first time I've heard the word "Jakeen", was never even aware of it until now.

Yes the bottle throwing incidents were stupid,I don't know what the liquids were,but if it's true they were pee that's just wrong wrong wrong:eek: But it's just plain stupidity to get worked up about whether country jackeens OR Dublin knackers or whatever of throwing them.However I can't understand some people's mentality with the "Oh for God's sake it's Axl Rose this is what he does" or "He's a douche you expect if from him." It's not acceptable for ANY band to treat their fans who pay hard earned money to come see them and enjoy their music.People seem to think that because it's Mr Rose it's ok to act like an arse without consequences,well on Wed night people had enough.Again I'm definately not condoning the bottle throwing but Axl Rose showed nothing but contempt for his fans:mad:.

Have to say having been raped rigorously for years by promoters and ticket agents for what has very often been sub-standard product it was heartening to hear people protest about this. Whether they were from Dublin or not is moot.

Paying €70 to protest about the same service you paid €70 for just seems a bit counter-intuitive to me.
