GUNS N' ROSES Walks Off Stage In Dublin
September 1, 2010, 14 years ago
According to Ireland's Entertainment.ie, disaster was in the air at tonight's GUNS N' ROSES gig at The O2 (in Dublin) when front man Axl Rose walked off stage after only 20 minutes. Fans were left bitterly disappointed after waiting for over an hour for the band to appear on stage in the first instance.
Trouble was brewing as fans began to get agitated whilst waiting for Guns N' Roses to come on stage, only making an appearance at 10.25pm - well over an hour after the support act, DANKO JONES, had finished playing. Some angry fans booed and threw a few beer/water bottles on stage in protest at the delay.
After a mediocre start, Axl Rose stopped the band after breaking into 'Welcome To The Jungle' - just as the crowd were beginning to be won over - after another bottle was thrown up on stage. At this he announced "one more bottle and we're going home, we're here to have fun and we hope you are too, but one more and we are gone".
The gig continued for another three songs and as Rose was introducing the band, another missile was thrown at the band. At this, Rose took the band, bid his goodnight and stormed off the stage at about 10.50pm.
