I dont think that a venue is ever going to shut the lights off if a show runs past curfew. The band or promoter will simply incur penalties for going past curfew; they may be fined and will also most likley run into some serious overtime for stagehand labor depending on how late they go. But yes, Axl is a egomaniacal douche imo.
Anyone else think he looks like he's on anti-depressants? It's the kind of bloated look I associate with that, especially with someone who's never been that big their whole life. He's been through a lot of shit, but he's never bloated out like that... I thought he looked great in 2006, then all of a sudden this happens.
Tommy Stinson is playing bass... so you've got that going for you...

He definitely doesn't look good especially when compared to PJ! Don't follow him so not sure what's been going on in his life but definitely seems like he's gone through some difficult times.
I wish I were seeing GNR tonight. The only time I've seen GNR was in 02. Just Axl with the dumb new band. And yeah, he came out about 90 minutes late and only played about 15 songs but it was awesome. Whole bunch of Appetite, Axl playing November Rain on the piano with fn sparks and stuff coming from the stage. It was pretty cool.
I actually had more fun seeing Appetite for Destruction: The GNR tribute band. Those guys kicked ass.

I have seen them many times when they were the shit...back in the day.
Soundgarden opened up for them in 1991 with the Badmotorfinger tour...and they were both great. (before grunge really took off)
As usual GnR didn't go on for hours afterwards, so girls were showing off their boobies (with a camera and screen on them)...what a night
He walked off stage when I saw him at the Meadowlands in NJ with faith no more and Metallica...someone hit him in the balls with a lighter...he stomped off at the end of Paradice and said we are out of here..a minor riot
Saw them at hershey, Pa. too.....a riot happened there too.....
My friends are going to see the new GnR...I am skipping it.....had enough of his shit in the late 80's and 90's..
Saw the original band 5x back in the day and was thinking about finally checking out the new band at the izod in a few weeks than I saw these videos. :shock:
Saw them last year in manchester uk, and yeah axl made us wait a while before coming on, but when they did, they(he) played a full 2 1/2 hour set, and was on top for, and his voice was really good, because i was worried beforehand, that it might be crap.
so watching this clips makes me realise i was a bit lucky, he just sounds awful and out of key and struggling to breathe, oh know he may have been a bit ill that night
During Rio he had Bronchitis, and the conditions in general sucked. I saw them back in '06 and got a great show. The band may be different now, and Axl can be a douche at times, but I think Chinese Democracy is a great record and I really want this line-up of the band to establish itself as it's own thing.
EDIT: Also, they've been playing three hour sets recently. A lot of the old hits + a fair chunk of songs from Chinese.
Thanks EPOTTSIII!
