Guns N' Roses live, the soap continues...

Het zoveelste live incident met Guns N' Roses maakt het onderhand een soort soap. De band begon meer dan een uur te laat op The O2 in Dublin. Verschillende mensen in het publiek waren hier behoorlijk kwaad over en begonnen met dingen te gooien. Het onderstaande verhaal van SMNnews.com beschrijft de rest van de situatie:

Beginning the set with ‘Welcome To The Jungle’, they stopped shortly into the track after bottles bombarded the stage.

Addressing the angry crowd, Axl Rose said:

“Alright, here’s the deal: one more bottle, we go home. It’s up to you.

“We would like to stay. Do you want us to stay? We want to stay, we want to have some fun. If you don’t want to have fun all you’ve got to do is let us know – we’ve got no problem – and we’ll go on our way.”

But after three more tracks, the band left the stage, after which a member of staff was forced to take to the microphone to calm jeering fans stressing that they were trying to get Rose to return, and pleading:

“I would ask you to refrain from throwing items at him.”

The band also appeared on stage an hour late last weekend at the Reading and Leeds Festivals.
