Guns and roses an hour late!  

ha ha ha ha ha

[Matticus]

i left after 3 songs. i knew what to expect bu just felt kinda wrong and dirty watching someone who blatently doenst give a f**k about his fans. Alkaline Trio canned his ginger balls.

An epic set :-o  Will go down in Reading lore .... "how many GnR songs did you hear before you bailed"

I managed three before the call of of LCD Soundsystem become too strong:-)

They bombed at Reading and now they've cancelled their Leeds show. I'm a GNR fan 4 life but not blinkered enough to fail to see that this is the end of any reputation Axl had left.

I'm not sure even a reunion with Slash can save him now.

[greenfairy43]

A band which shows such utter contempt for their fans deserves to never get another booking. It's not as if they're a new, amateur band is it?

[zlatan07]

Have they actually called off their Leeds gig?

It doesn't seem to have been officially confirmed other than Axl saying they won't be there at the 'end' of the shambolic Reading set.

He will no doubt change his mind after festival republic mention the mahoooosive law suit if they don't play

[strudders]

Good article there, cutting description. "The Replacements' bassist Tommy Stinson has been dragooned into what might mercifully be Axl's last stand. He can do nothing for the sad, slack stumble this band has become."

Ouch

Still wish I'd gone though

It's funny how people are so wound up about them coming on an hour late at Reading, when from all accounts they did the same at Leeds in 2002 people loved it, and it just added to the "experience" of seeing GNR. Plus, what do people expect? They have a track record of being very un-punctual.

Now I REALLY wish I was at Leeds. The rumours flying around the site right now must be pretty tasty.

yeah i was at leeds 2002 and they didnt make it on stage til nearly 11pm, we stayed for a couple of songs then went elsewhere.

First thing Arcade Fire say when they come on stage

"At least we're on time"

[Cooter]

After an hour late and consistent booing even when they came on stage the whole band failed to read the crowd at all. That said the actual tightness, sound and performance of the band didn't seem too bad to me. But, on the whole a naive bunch of idiots on stage failing to deliver to such an important crowd as Reading.

See if they pulled out of leeds I would be jealous. No guns and roses + letting qotsa have a 2 and a half hour set is better than christmas, easter, your birthday and new year all in one!

Pretentious, money grabbing, over rated, arse nuggets that they are...

We r in constant talks to ensure the fans attending Leeds get what they paid for w/out undue bureaucratic interference. We thank you for your understanding. Peace!!

In regard to Reading we feel at the very least the fans deserve an apology from those responsible for the nonsense. We'd also like to thank the fans for being so great, singing along n' not tearing the place apart!

Here's an idea AXL, buy a watch
