JimMorrison4 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 And like it or not, it's purely disrespectful to the fans to come on stage late time after time again, for no apparent reason.I do not understand why people can't wrap their minds around this simple concept.Yeah its pretty ridiculousIt is. We are driving 5 hours to see them on Nov 20 (sunday). We have to drive back that night because my gf has class on Monday. Getting home at 8am after the show would not be good. Still planning on going either way, bust still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punctuality isn't in his vocabulary. Sure, it may be disrespectful, but it's not something fans should be surprised about.This. People can whine about it all that they want. After all these years it's time to realize that it's not going to change. Axl simply does not give one fuck if you are upset about the start time.

If I were to go see a GN'R show, I would expect him to be late.He comes on late all the time, it's ridiculous. Axl would be respected more if he would just come on stage relatively close to the time on the ticket. The amount of things getting thrown on stage would be cut down astronomically, I can guarantee that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over two hours late is just inexcusable.God you are winging bitch !!!!! go and piss off to the cinema and be home by 12 for your bedtime old man !!!!!!!!!!!!! god its a saturday night, most people will be glad he comes on at midnight makes the occasion last longer.

But what the hell can we do?1. Don't support the band.2. Don't go to the shows.3. Whine and cry about it daily on a GnR forum.Axl is my favorite singer. You have to accept the good with the bad. If people hate the late starts so much, there are hundreds of other great bands to support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a right to your opinion but that is not going to change the fact that many people here (and the people who have seen GNR recently that I have talked to) do not appreciate the late starts Edited October 30, 2011 by WhazUp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
