this band (sorry to lump the other dudes in with a statement directed at Axl) needs to stopped being booked.

and the people paying to see them need to give up the dream, it's not 1991 anymore...stop enabling this douche

I'm happy to say I saw GnR on their original Chinese Democracy tour in like 2001. Axl wasn't even late, which blew everyone's mind.

Haha you are the champion. Shouldn't have shown up late, sorry G&R.

I don't see why people care. They haven't been relevant in over a decade. They also have a tendency to either show up late or not show up at all to shows. They didn't show for a show in Vancouver once and there were riots downtown.

dear lord, GnR needs to get a hold of themselves

Somehow out of all artists, he is still able to book large shows.

Most artists would completely lose the opportunity to play at such a large festival like that.


All press is good press, Reeds is getting so much publicity because of Axl Rose, i wouldn't doubt booking Guns N' Roses is a publicity stunt, because nobody in their sane minds would continue to book him with his history of diva moments.

shit band, serves them right to get booed.

I disagree, I don't think they was booked as a publicity stunt at all. It's not like Reading and Leeds needs promoting, it sells out in mere hours every year and has been going for decades. Also an expensive publicity stunt if it was one becuase every minute they go over the curfew, it costs Melvin Benn thousands of pounds.

No, this thread ISN'T about Dance Gavin Dance.

1. This is not news, this is what happens when they play anywhere and everywhere.
2. If you book a gig, show up on fucking time since your being payed just to play the same music you've been playing for 20 years. (Not to mention how lucky their old asses are in the first place to still have a following.)

Oh for Pete's sake just throw in the fucking towel already. GNR had their hayday, nothing but a group of twittily-dee has-beens. Axl: drop this pitiful, horrid excuse for a music career and apply for employment as a rehab counselor...or maybe just stick with your local Wendys.

This is definitely news.
