Axl Rose Declares 'War' On Promoters As GUNS N' ROSES Headline Leeds Festival
August 29, 2010, 14 years ago
According to NME, Axl Rose described the feud between him and the Reading And Leeds Festivals organisers as a "war", as GUNS N' ROSES headlined Leeds Festival tonight (August 29).
The band started their set half an hour later than their scheduled kick-off time, arriving on stage at 9:30pm (BST). At the end of the main part of their set, after 'Nightrain', they returned to the stage and the frontman claimed that the promoters were cutting their set short.
"We would like to play a few more songs for you tonight," Rose said. "But someone is telling us the show's over. This war ain't over yet." He made the comment at around 11:20pm, and also claimed that he had been told they could play until 11:58pm. They then played 'Paradise City' for their one-song encore.
