I've never been to a gig where there's a (sorry, it was actually an hour and 45 minutes) gap between the support band going off, and the main act taking to the stage. Rose is renound for pulling crap like this. Rumour is, he wouldn't go on stage until he'd been cooked a full roast dinner.
The man is an absolute b*stard.
That's not defending him of course, but it's nothing new that hasn't happened for years now
Yeah we got ours through around 3 weeks ago now.
Really unfair to the fans who maybe needed to catch the last train home, reckon there'll be a lot of people sleeping in the station tonight!
The band were greeted by A LOT of booing!
Also, the liquid was apparently urine! (eww)
2 of my faves, Madonna, always late and I love her! The other, Prince isnt late but they dont tell you he might be on for over 3 hours and dont know when to leave.
An excellent band.
Now they're just Axl plus hired hands. Given that and Roses extreme tardiness, I wouldn't bother now.

They hired models to 'perform for the band' in the front row...? Oh dear.
Axl isn't really as late as people make out. Some folks were saying he was an hour 45 min late coming on in Dublin - which is true, if you look at the advertised starting time. In reality, Thin Lizzy played 45 min past their allotted time, and GNR took to the stage 30-45 min later. Perfectly reasonable timings for a big stage act.
There are very, very few bands in the world who are putting on a two-and-a-half to three hour show. Even the likes of Iron Maiden, Metallica and AC/DC, with larger discographies, don't do that. People should stop complaining - it's f**king rock n' roll for three hours. If you're worrying about the last train home you've sort of missed the point.
I've seen what is called Guns N Roses now live and there just aren't good tbh and Bucket head just is nowhere near as good Slash on guitar.
Apart from the fact they probably won't release another album for 5 years I won't be seeing them this time around as the original line was really the best
Technic wise bucket is more advanced than slash and thats coming from a lifelong slash fan and guitarist btw,both are 2 of the finest players on the planet but their styles differ greatly.
Even back then 1992 as i remember it was the third or forth incarnation of the band so not oringinal line up. I have seen GnR 5 times over the last 24 years and to be honest the best concert was at Newcastle Arena 4 years aggo, the clasic line up was all full of ego and were pretty sloppy as a live band. The new guys ae scared they will get fired if they suck so they play realy well.
Guess we'll be heading to the after party at Pround2 till the trains start running again in the morning.
I'm sorry, I completely disagree.
People pay a lot of money to see a band like Guns 'n' Roses these days and it shouldn't be too much for such a band to treat the fans with a little respect.
Like I said, they're putting on a three-hour show.
I can't believe that after 25 years people buy tickets to see GNR and expect them to show up on time. No - they never have, and they never will. Make some alternative travel/accommodation arrangements. Why? Because it's worth it - it's a f**king three-hour show! You can count on one hand the number of acts putting on a three hour show.
