    /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.

    Amen , I've been chastised lately and accused of being way too sensitive when talking about the behaviour of the pissed dickheads that you describe. But I think that it has escalated recently , which is why I tend to stick to smaller gigs.

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

    i don't think anyone paid to protest, what i was alluding to was that in the past my experience of these types of situations people very seldom make waves. in an age of apathy it's heartening to hear people vent their frustrations for once. :)

    On a side note, Jackeen has to be one of the worst insults thrown around

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    So yeah, when was the last time booing and verbal abuse motivated you to do something :rolleyes:

    when I managed to get 14,000 people to pay e70 to see essentially a tribute act performing with remnants of the actual band.

    14k x 70 =

    980,000 euro the crowd paid, now I dunno what axl got from this but You can boo me and throw plastic at me for that.

    Footballers get much worse abuse, amateur refs in the park get worse treatment.

    If Axl cant handle being booed and a hostile crowd hes in the wrong game, especially considering his history.

    " If you got the money honey we got your disease" Ya right, axl seems to have relocated from the jungle to beverly hills

    Well, if the "fans" in the crowd knew anything about him and his history they'd know he'd be late and they'd know he'd walk off if booed. They ruined it for themselves. Sure, he was late, nothing you can do to turn back time. And all booing will do is get you a short set.

    Most The fans in the crowd didnt know anything, I was up at the barrier(bruised ribs as a souvenier) Looked back, the crowd had metal heads there but the bulk was made up of "Greatest Hits" fans (term stolen from a review I read).
    Axl ruined it, Im not gunna cheer him for being late, what gob****e would do that, he got abuse and deservedly so.
    Thats the problem with this country, the majority are only too happy to take it up the ass, then the minority that air their dissatisfaction are alienated and looked down upon.
    If he pulled that in the USA there would have been a full scale riot, Oh wait he did in st louis and that ended in mayhem.

    The 02 got off lightly, GnR is a Hard Rock band not barbera Streisand. I reckon if the place rioted and wrecked the place MCD would have been out of business.
    Im just glad those ***** aint running WASP or any other gigs I go to mainly, they can learn alot from DME.



    FWIW I expected him to be late, I stayed as I expected him to be back because he needs the $$$, I DID NOT expect him to piss off because he was being booed and **** was being flung at him.

    I'm not happy with the disrespect Mr Rose showed a lot of Dublin fans last night - made me ashamed to be a GnR fan (the real GnR that is not Axls self satisfying and painful murdering of a memory)

    If the "fans" in the crowd knew anything about him and his history they would have gone out and bought the back catalogue instead of paying e70 to see a completely different band than the earlier one of the same name.

    Also GnR is not a "hard rock" band, they were mainstream rock back in the day, it doesn't diminish them in the slightest to admit that.

    Just my 2cents.

    Thread about a gig; Not national politics. Scope.

    LOL

    Never heard anybody class them as anything but Hardrock.

    Back in the 1980s Hardrock was the mainstream. Now we got "indie" oh how we have regressed.
