Drinking.

Once again too much drinking leads to stupidity, violence and arrest.

Drinking wisely, friends. Drink wisely.

[King Axl]

He should have asked for Scott Weiland's new solo CD, to which the salesperson would have replied, "Yes, we have 300 copies in the $1.99 bin over there"

And the guy behind the cash register? Scott Weiland...F'd up beyond belief..

Man Arrested For Demanding Chinese Democracy
by James Barron, New York Times, posted 1 hour ago.

Lawrence Reilly from Queens, New York was arrested early Tuesday evening for disorderly conduct inside the Virgin Megastore at the Times Square section of Manhattan for reportedly demanding a copy of the new Guns N' Roses album "Chinese Democracy."
Witnesses say Reilly was racing back and forth in the New Releases section of the store where he carelessly knocked over and threw down cds from the shelves in an attempt to find the new disc that was released by the band on Sunday, November 23.
When a worker came over to assist Reilly the situation became more volatile as Reilly was told that the disc was not available at the Virgin Megastore. Guns N' Roses have a deal with electronics store Best Buy where the album is exclusively being sold.
"He began cursing and yelling and becoming more and more agitated by the second," said John Garvey, a customer in the store at the time who first became aware of Reilly when he was bumped from behind. "I was looking through the new release section when I was suddenly slammed in the back. When I turned around to see what had happened, I noticed him (Reilly) behind me grabbing cds and moving them off the display shelves."

Other workers at the store began to notice the commotion and confronted Reilly according to store manager, Kent Debnam. "He began to yell threats and obscenities at the workers," said Debnam, reading from a report of the incident in which Reilly allegedly shouted, "I'll punch your lights out right here and right now," while allegedly shaking his fists at them.

"He kept demanding to be sold the album 'Chinese Democracy' and refused to listen to the reason as to why the album was not being sold at our location," Debnam said. When told that if he did not calm down security and the police would have to be called he reportedly said, "I don't give a (expletive) who you are. You are all little people on a power trip."

Police arrived soon after when Reilly said "Just arrest me."

According to police, Reilly was arrested at approximately 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday, and was released by 11 p.m.

Reilly was charged with a class one misdemeanor, the highest kind next to a felony. A conviction on this charge would merit either a $2,500 fine and/or six months in jail. Reilly will be arraigned in ten days and go before a judge, who will decide which it will be.

It would have been just as easy just to go to a best buy store and not have deal with a fine and/or serious jail time. What an idiot.

It's people like this that make the u.s. look bad.

New York is a large Big City. Maybe he didnt know where the nearest Best Buy was or he blew all his money on the taxi and didnt have enough to get to Best Buy,

Personally I like this story, it shows how "Hardcore" GnR fans can be, think about it like this will a Jones Brothers Fan or Killers Fan give a record shop that much crap for not havign their cd in stock?

[western_chaos]

I don't think so, but it still doesn't make that person look very smart.

The story is fake, isn't it? I wasn't able to find it on the NY Times website, or through a Google News search...

That dude deserves some free fucking tickets to a GNR show.

[western_chaos]

Assuming the story is true, he doesn't deserve anything but time behind bars and a good fine.

You can't just live your life thinking their are no consequences. 

[cineater]

I know we are all caught up in the motion of this but it was one hell of a week in the world of GNR!

[RancidPunx]

That dude deserves some free fucking tickets to a GNR show.

Fuck no he doesn't. If that was true, he deserves anger management counseling. I don't give a shit what CD he wanted, this idiot could have hurt kids by acting like that.

It was a fake story intended to be, and admitted to being, a joke.

Yeah, I'm actually kinda astonished that some people think it was true, haha. I thought it was hilarious when I first read it.

[gabble]

It reminds me of '2000 Intentions', which, if I remember correctly, was a fake album title generated by one of the gn'r message boards (not this one).  The title was explicitly designed to see how far the rumor would spread.  Then it got picked up by, I think, Kerrang!, and snowballed from there.
