Axl may have 'Fuck You Money', but someone needs to pull Axl to one side and tell him how seriously he's fucking off some of the fans.

Either you live with him coming late or you don't. I do.

looks like dissent is frowned upon here. "welcome to the herd, baby you're gonna die!"

the three guitar solo's were random stuff no improvision and alot of mistakes were made, bring back buckethead i say!

How's it not improvised if it's random?

But coming on at 10.40pm, and finishing at 1.01am is not. Axl should have said at the end "GOOD. FUCKING. MORNING!"

Is this just a Finland thing, but all the gigs I go to here start around 10-11..? Nobody expects a band to start at 8. Even the opening acts may not start by that time.

The band were MAGNIFICENT.

But coming on at 10.40pm, and finishing at 1.01am is not. Axl should have said at the end "GOOD. FUCKING. MORNING!"

I've never heard boos and jeers like it. The crowd had noticably thinned by the time they came on stage two hours late.? The bar was decanting all drinks out of bottles to prevent people throwing bottles of piss at the band. And believe me, there were many people who would've done so if they had the chance. No matter how good they were, I'm NOT going to see them again : I have a wife, a child, a job, and waiting for Axl to pull his head out of 'Axltime' to the real world causes frictions and costs money when it finishes that late.

Axl may have 'Fuck You Money', but someone needs to pull Axl to one side and tell him how seriously he's fucking off some of the fans.


Mate - hammersmith always decant drinks into plastic cups for all gigs - a late guns show aint the exception. ?And the booing, yes was bad, but I didnt think at any point that it was more than that - I didnt hear anything other than boos, saw one cup descending from the circle, but think it was dropped. ?I think most people there would ahve planned ahead that it would be late. ?Fine if you dont see them again - but you will be missing out. ?Just think, you can see them again, just dont plan on using public transport ? hihi
If the crowd were THAT pissed off - they would have thrown stuff at them once they were onstage or shouted remarks. ?UK crowds are always hectic and a bit pantomime. ?I reckon some people just joined as it was GnR, and they can get all "tough" and get in the ring...but once they were onstage, Guns had them in the palm of their hands.
i am sorry people had to leave as it got late - but i dont think axl will change just for them, rightly or wrongly.

Some brief thoughts about the gig.

Finally got to see Axl live after years of wishing I could I two failed attempts in Glasgow.

The band were great with the exception of Robin, I still think that guy is terrible and listening to him play reminds me of my first day learning guitar. Why they allow him to attempt so many of the solos I do not know as the other two are far better.

Axl sounded great, very strong and he pulled off one or two screams that I thought were never going to end, exceptional ?peace Unfortunately his vocal mix was low so you couldn't easily hear him in every song which was a shame.

I thought trouble was going to start in the seating area to the rear of me as they were getting seriously pissed off with the delay.

Oh and I also met MandyGnR who totally rocks Smiley

Robin came to the front playing guitar and someone next to me threw a cup of water over him soaking him think he enjoyed it though


That person was me!  Grin  I thought he looked like he needed to cool down.  He did enjoy it, smacking his lips as if drinking.. 

What an amazing night!  Axl's voice was the strongest I've ever heard and he was on fine form - at one point joking about having to sing in tune.  The band played really well together - the solos provided good piss-break opportunities so no complaints from me there.  beer

For those people bitching about lateness, Avenged Sevenfold didn't leave the stage until around 9.00, so there was no way that Gn'R could have been on time even if they were there!  Re the booing; most of the booing near me was not negative, but that hip hop boo noise that people do to show appreciation. 

I have some pics and vids taken on my mobile, which I will put up soon..  Now, must concentrate on getting my voice back.

I was sitting in the Circle and the vocal mix wasn't amazing but it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the concert.

Three friends were at the front of the stage and they thought Robin sounded terrible too.

Avenged Sevenfold didn't finish until 9 to make GNR coming on at 10.40 not seem *quite* so late. Didn't work. I thought AS were fairly rubbish : covering a Pantera song so it sounded *exactly* like Pantera on a support slot was lame.

Yeah I only sat down twice during the entire set and that was during spells where nothing was happening onstage.

We certainly kept Row F rocking. Smiley ?Kiss
