So we get to the guns n roses concert last night and right away i was surprised that we found street parking so easily. You can never get free parking at concerts. but there were plenty of open spots because of the RIOT in progress!

man on the street reporter voice:

What started as a traditional guns n roses riot escalated into a city-wide orgy of mayhem as fans showed that they really do have an 'appetite for destruction'. Looking around in what used to be a 'paradise city', and as this 'cold november rain' falls, I can't help but think, 'all we need is just a little patience'.
What's funny is i completely called this yesterday! It's the tour opener and word was that the band had been practicing the day before without Axl. I had a feeling that Axl would cancel or come down with that terrible affliction that's been going around in the rock community that only hits bands when they cross the border into canada: Throat Lock. Creed (thankfully) had a nasty case of Throat Lock last year and cancelled their Vancouver show at the last minute. But Creed fans don't riot. Can you imagine Ned Flanders rioting? I can't either. They probably just said "it's God's will" and walked home.

Anyways, back from the tangent, a Guns N Roses spokesman said poor weather conditions at Los Angeles airport made it impossible for Axl's plane to fly. Poor weather conditions in LA? I thought the only weather in LA was hot and sunny. Aren't they all lizards out there?

I think Axl was sitting around in his underwear eating Doritos while shooting bullets at the TV going "fuck it. fuck vancouver." and ordered up a private stripper and spent the rest of the night snorting cocaine off her tits.

We got there after the cops had at least some semblance of crowd control. Windows had already been smashed, people had already been clubbed. So we stood around and watched. We were semi-drunk, so it was fun. When cops came our way, we just turned around and started walking, and stopped when they stopped. They were trying to disperse the crowd, one cop even told a homeless guy to "go home".

A lot of people were pissed off. Some yelling "fuck you Axl!", some proclaiming they'd never listen to GNR again.

Those people are morons.

He's Axl. This is the kind of thing he does. There are no more angry, reclusive rock stars left. Only Axl. Of course he has no respect for his fans. I already know that. Does that make songs like "Welcome to the Jungle" or "Mr. Brownstone" any worse? Of course not!

Cancelling a concert is so fucking rock n roll.

comments:

fuck you
i was there .. whats so rock n roll about canceling a show that uve been waiting for.. what about those people who came from other cities.. it is just not acceptable.. he is a fucking moron .. he is what he is because of us .. if it wasn't cuz of us he would probably be a homless motherfucker asking people to spare some change...
fuck him and fuck you for supporting what he did last night.... i just couldn't believe it TEN MIN BEFORE THE SHOW?!?!??!?! WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYY

haha. i don't support what he did, but i understood it. he's axl. he's a fucker. what a surprise.

posted by pinder

i have to admit, pinder did call it before the show. and i was kinda glad axl bailed, i got to be entertained for a while, and it was free, since we get a refund.

you guys should have started rioting had he actually showed up and performed...he did you all a favour.

I dont live in vancouver but i know how frustrating it is when a concert gets cancelled. Axl Rose is a fucking idiot for what he did and he'd be on the streets sucking dick for coke if it wasnt for us i just hope he doesnt cancel the show in toronto

Hi Kari lets go start a riot

hey river, lets go light mr.sub on fire and tell him his subs are faulty and the run away, and thenc ome back and light the sub nautsy on fire

Did anyone happen to see coverage of the STORM that hit Los Angeles!!!!??? It's very possible that it WAS weather that delayed his arrival into Vancouver. I could really care less about GNR but you all should get a life! These kinds of things are the reason Vancouver police don't let us have any FUN.

I was there. N' called the fuckin' riot when I found out the concert was cancelled. I was one of the 12 arrest. I got my ass beaten unfairly by 6 guards n' cops. Fuck GM place not Axl. Axl kicks ass and the asses of all the fuckers who don't understand he can do whatever the fuck he wants cause he's motherfuckin' Axl Rose. If you don't like it, suck a dick eh. Besides, I went to Tacoma the next day anyways n' seen him. N' got to be on T.V. like a motherfucker n' have a million stories to tell now. The riot kicked ass. It's like what I told the cops, "now that's how you start a motherfuckin' world tour!!!" So yeah wanna see pictures of how I looked after I got worked unfairly, plus digital pics from Tacoma, or want a bootleg of the Tacoma show, drop me a line. Long live Axl.

axl is so fucked in the head that he likes doing things like that just to see how people are going to react

I think the riot was the best thing to happen to rock n' roll since... lets say... 1987 & AFD.
Axl is a brilliant rocker... the riot wasn't his fault... I've had tickets to see them 4 times... seen them once... that's part of the energy and excitiment of loving the most dangerous band in the world. long live gnr... & I'm stoked to see Buckethead live... he's a freak of nature.

Axl's a fuckhead and and fucked up Guns N' roses... It would be soooooo nice if he could get back on earth and re-join with slash/duff and any of the guys from the band who's ready to reunion GN'F'R (Slash has alredy stated in an interview that he's ready for a one time koncert... that would be a perfect start...!! ) anyways, you still gotta' love the good old AXL caracter, I do, for all the anger and joy he has given us these past 15 years!!

Slinger: I would very much like to hear and see what you got from the riot( and hear your story!!) You can catch me at alex@firma.tele.dk

BTW: The new band STINKS STINKS STINKS!!!!! they should f**k the h**l off!! I hate'em

Axl kicks ass man. He's the best thing to EVER happen to GNR and rock music. Axl's voice...VERY good looks...his music...the songs he wrote and still are writing are the reason why GNR hit it big. So fuck ALL of you that have shit to say about him.

the mother fuckers no showed philly too! i have to take a poop! jk anyway do we get refunds and if so how do i go about getting them?

posted by casper

First of all Axl can do whatever he wants! Axl can call off whatever he wants cause he's the best! I saw him in concert at THe all state arena nov 18 02, and it rocked and he waved at me,so forget all you people who say he sucks cause your just jealous cause you coudn't see him. He is the best thing in the world for rock n' roll so face the facts.

Axl is a moron? not at all my fime young fools. Axl is just a misunderstood child caught up in a man's body and stinking rich! What beeter way to start off a non-tour than with a riot? To all the fools who paid money for G'n'R tix: YOU FOOLS! Guns'n'roses came to an abrupt end 10 years or more ago! FOOLS! It's the Axl Rose show now. The REAL G'n'R is getting it's shit togeather and will hopefully show it's face soon enough.

He beats 90 lb super models, he chickens out from fighting a short fat Vince Neil, and threatens to sue Hetfeild for making fun of him. Axle Rose could care less about any of you. GNR is dead.

posted by T

hey fuck ya, axl said to vince neil that he'd fight him anytime, anywhere and if vince wanted to fight with glass botles and shit, he wouldn't give a fuck, so learn ur fucking facts. GnR is alive and well, listen to their new fucking performances, they fucking kill the old GnR, they are bigger and better. and who cares if axl don't care about us, he's the fucking man, GnR 4 life!!!!!!!!!

posted by oscar

Get your facts right! Don King and Vince Neil tried to get the fight on MTV but Axle chickened out and wouldn't do it. Just like he chickens out of playing concerts.

posted by T

At the end of the day Axl made Guns n Roses and he finished Guns n Roses who cares they still rock

Axl is freakin awesome, I'v only heard the old songs, and yall should try watchin the November Rain video, it kicks ass, especially the Slash solo. I really wish all the originals would join together again, they rocked, im hooked. All you cock suckers who say Axl and Guns 'N' Roses suck, you can go eat shit and choke for all I care, and keep your opinions to yourself, ya jerk offs.

posted by Ross

Well, where do I start? Listen to Get in the Ring. Fuck you all. Make all the judgements you like. There is nothing greater than the original GN'R.Of course Axl doesn't wany to say any thing with all off you fuckwits making comments before you know the whole story. Remember, media is evil........
