It's funny. For weeks we've been hearing people say GN'R would never show up blah blah blah.

They proved everybody wrong.

This show will be talked about for a while.

Some people will say they hated it until it becomes one of those legendary gigs. Then those same people will be like "I was there!".

It's actually quite funny that you forget how those rumors got started in the first place.

Anyway, hopefully they'll start the show on time at Leeds!

A couple things........

Bad publicity??  No such thing!

Singing through a megaphone and playing without the sound system will just add to the rebellious "Don't you try and stop me" GNR attitude. That's part of why we GNR fans are fans, right? None of us like people telling us what we should do, or think. Right??

Curfew for a festival in Reading fuckin' England??  Ridiculous!

Next.......!!

The pics on the Reading/Leeds website are pretty badass especially 2/14

F#$king promoters and city officials. I hate this shit. Good for GNR sounds like at least they made their point!

It's in the middle of a town, the curfew is their out of respect for the local people who are there all year round.

I doubt some of the older folk in the area want to hear blaring music past midnight.

I honestly find it amazing that people bitch about curfews for outdoor shows in populated area. considering the band were there a good 2 hours before they were due to start there is no reason for being an hour late on stage.

it's taking the piss showing no respect to anyone and the organiser did the right thing, to protect his job.

And how much inconvenience doesn't the festival cause the people of Reading anyway?

You make it sound like these outdoor concerts happen in Reading every week.


Yes, in some cases the curfews make sense. In other cases, it's just silly.


By the way, unless you have some first hand information regarding any "delays", I suggest you're careful about making generalizations.

The curfew is there out of respect for the local population.

It was made quite clear the curfew would be enforced.

The band were on site at least 2 hours prior to the scheduled stage time

The band took to the stage over an hour late.


I'm sorry but if there were issues why not say straight away, avoid the bullshit that happened at/after the last show.

what I know about the festival is that every year I have been no band has been more than 10 minutes late, none of the other bands on today were late. And i've seen some insane stage set ups there.

i stand by what i said.

i find it amazing people bitch about curfews for outdoor shows, it's taking the piss and disrespectful.

willow and jarmo, it may only be one weekend, but how many people have to wake up to work the next day, how many have young children. just because you aren't inconvienienced by it doesn't mean other people wouldn't be. if you know the curfew is there why push it?

And I stand by what I said. Its once a year and it brings tons of money in. You don't like it leave for the weekend or close the windows. lol

[tommyrai]

i agree if you dont  like it leve hahah, people should be greatful at least it gets the name on the map, and brings alot of trade in, on weekend out of a whole year cum on people stop being so pathetic and enjoy the fact all of these legendary bands are coming to your own home town, i would be thrilled if band like guns n roses were in my home town, you should be greatful for the opurunity you have to see these bands in your own town.

[tommyrai]
