Oh dear, looks like the Irish didn't appreciate waiting for 90 mins for him to come on :lol:

Looks like the lucky ones are people who watched them at Leeds and got a good deal and gave him the love he needs! Seriously though, he cannot afford to messing everyone about like this, he needs to hit the stage within 15-30 mins of stage time.

They did come back out and play the full set though I guess its not too great watching aband that doesn't finish until 1am when you have to get up for work the next day or get home by public transport.

Although Axl is a complete dick as we all know, when I heard the news about the Dublin gig I thought why wait an hour for him to come on then ruin it by bottling him off? Wether he's late or not throwing bottles is shit and isn't going to make the situation any better.

No band should put up with being bottled off & are perfectly within their right to walk. As far as GnR being late on stage, if you didn't expect that you've either been living in a cave for 20 years or are incredibly naive 'They've been famously late for the majority of careers but now they're playing Dublin I'm sure they'll be on time' :rolleyes:

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
