Guns N Roses N Appalling Behaviour
 
Guns n Roses arrived late for their headline slot at last night's Reading Festival after being warned not to. They were cut off during their set for disobeying their times. Axl Rose is now saying they won't play Leeds Festival.

ZoSo1886 08/28/10 09:08 AM

he stated at one point that they would not be playing either

Sloth7 08/28/10 09:16 AM

Well at least something in this new hodge podge band resembles the classic GNR.

LoginBanned 08/28/10 09:18 AM

I think GNR needs Leeds more than Leeds needs GNR

Meeze 08/28/10 09:28 AM

this man has been doing this his entire fucking career. why anyone even books him is beyond me. besides, its not even GnR. its Axl and some dudes who play GnR covers.

I'm proud to call myself British right now haha.

indierock413 08/28/10 09:29 AM

guns n' roses are so far past the "beating a dead horse" stage that it's honestly just embarrassingly pathetic now. and props to everyone posting on here- great comments.

natalieatsworld 08/28/10 09:30 AM

everytime i hear news about guns and roses, axl does the same shit. what a diva.

brandnewsheep 08/28/10 09:43 AM

Idiot. He's doing exactly what everyone expects him to do.

FueledByRock 08/28/10 09:44 AM

Axl Rose is Lindsay Lohan.

He has been doing the same thing his entire career...

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.

Kyle Huntington 08/28/10 09:47 AM

Whilst this could have easily been predicted it's the fact he was booked, warned (because Melvin Benn had to pay thousands of pounds last time they played and were late/went over their curfew) yet he still has no consideration and fucks around anyways.

Apparently fans were walking away so angry and disappointed with him. Reading is a big deal to a lot of people.

TragedyofMariam 08/28/10 09:48 AM

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

bobcatbob18 08/28/10 09:54 AM

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.

Spenny 08/28/10 10:04 AM

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.

SandManTEND13 08/28/10 10:04 AM

dear lord, GnR needs to get a hold of themselves

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.

Grub 08/28/10 10:13 AM

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.

recklessabndn04 08/28/10 10:28 AM

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.)

ZinisterZman 08/28/10 10:28 AM

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.

Of course it's news. Especially to Brits and especially to people attending the Festivals/hoping to see coverage of them at Leeds.

BurymeWalkAway 08/28/10 10:45 AM

I guess some things do last forever. Axl being a douche

mantipede 08/28/10 10:46 AM

How lucky the people at Leeds are now. Screw this band.

Salamandrax 08/28/10 10:47 AM

i know that we're all aware of his douchebaggery already...
but still, that's an absolutely awful way to handle things when they were clearly at fault.

SuNDaYSTaR 08/28/10 10:50 AM

Didn't see it coming. Oh wait...
