Mixed reviews for GNR at Reading

[Drudeboy]

However, he failed to apologise to the crowd for being late, and barely spoke to the audience during the gig. He received a hostile reaction from some parts of the crowd, with some booing after every song and repeatedly chanting, "What a twat."

I heard on the radio they weren't going to let him play if he showed up late.

What a tw4t!

Axl? Late on stage? No Way!

The promotors specifically told GNR what would happen. I love GNR, but they really are a bunch of twats at times.

 

[Ed B]

That's great. Axl always seemed to have zero appreciation. It's a dismal way to live in my opinion.

 

[EvLectric]

If he could put out albums as fast as he can p1ss people off he'd really have something.
Once again, What a tw4t!

That guy is turning himself into the laughing stock of RnR...

Only at times? I never liked GNR, I tried to several times, but really never made it musically.

Behavior-wise, I always thought that Axl guy was and still is (worse) unbearable.

The diva personality might and should be something of the past. And maybe - I say maybe - I could accept it for a female performer, never from a man.

It is the most disrespectful way to behave towards real fans.

A shame, basically.

Thumbs down.

Will never pay to see Axl Rose.

 

[LongBeach]

Classic

 

[EvLectric]

Luckily they were pretty good when I saw them, but Faith No More & Metallica were better, IMO.

Turning?

I was trying to be nice (not sure why). I grew up on GnR and I am a huge fan, but a GnR without Slash, Izzy, Duff, and Steven/Matt is just disturbing. I know Axl has legal rights to the name and all that, but.... Ugh..

 

[snaredrum]

if you booed everytime axl was late or a [email protected] you'd be a bit out of breath by now...

The fact that he calls his solo project Guns N' Roses automatically makes me have no respect for him.

Agreed. My brother let me me borrow the cd to listen to. I put it on my iPod as "Axl Rose" cause I can't stomach to see it sorted with AFD or UYI... My brother says it's a good album.. I still haven't listened to it...

If he woulda dropped the GnR thing and just called it Axl Rose Project or something, I bet it woulda sold more.. Hell, I would've bought it...
