June 19th Brisbane

It's really hard to control everyone, that is why security has to be done on a one on one basis, with roamiing security etc.

 ? Don't forget it is not cheap pulling in a band like GNR (or whatever other band of this caliber) so you want to acheive a highest number of sales as possible, as a venue with a Food and Beverage Department most of your return will be on liquor and food sales. ?Don't forget just as the band (and of course Axl) the venues are trying to make their own excuse me.... living ? ($18 million appartments among many other spoils which they all deserve)...believe me the person who is serving the beer makes 8-10 bucks US if lucky. ?

What a bunch of fuckwits to be throwing anything at a stage. I really dont get that. Its a massive sign of disrespect.

In Adelaide and the first Melbourne show I was fairly buzzed, got there early and didnt notice how heavy the crowds alchohol consumption was.
 But I was sober at the second Melbourne show and got there late (around 10:30ish) and noticed what a drunken/ugly scene it had become.
At Rod Laver you cant drink in the arena-only in the foyer and it seemed people were hanging there getting smashed. Maybe with a band like GnR that will go on late, the bar should be closed a little earlier to stop people getting out of hand?

Either way I would be pissed to be at last nights show and not only have Axl mad but also as a fan to see him get disrespected.
His great mood during the 3 shows I went to really helped make the shows more special and its a shame that some Brissy bogans ruined it.

It's good to know it's not just us in the UK which has a problem with alcohol 

Cheers for the updates.
GNR march on.

Dude that through the beer was probably an expat Victorian or coackroach anyway  Qlders wouldnt treat beer or Axl like that.

Good to hear the show went on and cant wait for tonight's/

[ClintroN]

i was really pissed off last night, i dont blame u Axl but you easily let some fuck ruin it for everyone, yourself and the band, alot of people where walkin' out half way

THE WORST CROWD IN HISTORY!!! which didnt help with Axls mood


thanx for the Ausi chant at the end

[novrain91]

Obvioulsy we can all agree that throwing beer at the band members is stupid, even if they come on "late." With that said though, I still think it's pretty funny how childish Axl responds to things like that.  I mean it's not like he had to take it out on the whole audience by not performing like he usually does.  I guess 45 is the new 25.

That sucks what happened, can understand the frustration particularly if the man's been onstage for just about 5 seconds.
I hate to consider the possibilities in Sydney. But at least they kept the show going.
Hope everybody enjoyed it.

[fuckin crazy]

Great reviews , thanks

How is throwing stuff going to help the show?

If I were on stage , I would think having certain pieces of ladies undergarments tossed my way might improve the ambiance of the evening .

[Jim Bob]

why do ppl have to act like assholes and throw shit.

thanks for the updates    sucks the momentum was probalby ruined because of some fuck.

[sexkitten]

[Mikkel]

Thanks for the updates! This one got me reading through all the pages and posts... Funny how exciting it can be, even though it's just text... Glad everything went well!

I half expected that if any Australian show might have some trouble, it would be in Brisbane. Sorry, Brisbaners - but it is bogan (redneck) central. And I can say that cos half my family are here in Brisbane and I've spent a lot of time here. Grow up, its not the end of the world to wait. I suspect it was just full of dick head yobbos too drunk to remember the show anyway.

Im hoping tonights gig which I'll be at goes down better.

I agree with this.
There's no need to get into how stupid throwing things is, we all agree on that. But I don't like it how Axl let one guy ruin it for the thousands more in attendence. The thousands who did behave, and wanted to see a good rock show, insted got a sulky Axl, who talked condisendingly to the audience as a whole, and didn't put on a performance (ie-not moving etc.).

You know it even says on the melbourne tickets: "A Late Night Rock and Roll Extravaganza".

I was surprised GNR started before 12 any night...lol...

I don't blame axl for being pissed off. Like if someone disrespected me like that seconds after starting a show I'd be annoyed about it for most of the night too.

Its just a shame for the thousands of decent fans in the city, hopefully axl realizes that for every fuckknuckle with a beer theres a dozzen aussies who love GNR!

Was it like Download '06 during Better when he just stood there the whole song?

I heard he was holding still, but...that still? For that many songs?

If so, that's badass

hey dude, speak for your family 'bout the redneck shit, but u dont have a clue what the hell your sayin'!!
your from Sydney...hey mate, ANYTHIN'S POSSIBLE DOWN THERE!!! ?

N' u suspect it was full of dickhead yobboos ? ? DUDE, THIS IS AUSTRALIA, of course it was!!!!

Dude, Brizzys a big place, so ease up on catagorizing Brizzy as Bogans, it would be easy for me to say...'no offence but Sydney is FAGGOT CENTRAL, so watch your arse at the Gunners show!!


its just getting annoying when people suspect things or predict things that are gonna happen at certain venues, and they always predict it AFTER it happens!! ? you wouldnt have had a fuckin' clue somethin' was gonna go down at Brizzy, n' just 'cause some arsehole threw somethin' means u can come here n' say shit about Brizzy and say its redneck central!!

...no offence but maybe your family live with the? rednex?? ?, or they live in a fucked up area!!
'cause i know alotta fucked up areas in Syndey

I'll say! That would have intimtated any fuckwit in the pit who was thinking of trying anything on again! ?

PS. I think that security and Axl are well aware of 'everything' could be possibly going down in a Brisbane show..........

Wow ClintroN.? Don't be so defensive...Your post was a little harsh

[ClintroN]

....so was the cones i smoked last night,
 and so was Axl's attitude towards the WHOLE crowd when ONE person threw somethin', after that there was no trouble, but Axl had to let it ruin it for him, which ment for the rest of us too!!

Ron would come up to Axl n' headbut him on the shoulder for fun, but Axl didnt respond at all, it seemed Tommy was pissed at someone when he was screaming the words but came to the front of the stage afew times and gave these people the finger

Baz had the crowd pumped last night, i was screamin' The Threat at him n' he had a camera dude point it at me, Baz was all smiles

[monkeychow]

Baz has been REALLLY Impressive this tour IMO.....he's very very good...

I actually do feel bad for the rest of fans...that does kinda suck. Hopefully you're going back tomorrow and the show will rock hard.  It will be like a do-over.

btw, are cones the same as joints?
