    Axl has been playing late for 21 years, not sure why people still act surprised by it. If you don't want to deal with it don't go, he'll even tell you that.

    I'm neither surprised or wanting to go, I just think it's ridiculous that a grown man earning a lot of money can't get his shit together.

    They played the HOB in LA tonight and Brain and Robin Fink joined the band for a couple songs. Also they did Mama Kin, supposedly Steven Tyler was supposed to join them but didn't show, Dead Flowers and then did My Michelle with Baz. A 3 and a half hour show!

    I caught their show two nights ago at the House of Blues in West Hollywood. It started at exactly midnight and finished at 3:15. A 39-song setlist. Sebastian Bach came out and sang lead on 'My Michelle'. Awesome show. If folks can't grow some balls and just enjoy a rock show, then why go? Axl doesn't get his game face on until late in the evening and if that's what it takes for him to put on a good show, then that's fine with me.

    I went and saw GNR back in 2006. They went on at midnight. Most people get all hot and bothered when I told them that. What they didn't know, but I told them after, was that he went on 30 minutes after the previous band finished. There were 5 fucking bands that night, and started at 8:00. He's not making people wait like h used to, it's just a lot of entertainment that happens to go late, that's all.

    Lucky bastard! That sounds like it was one of the best shows by the new band. They did Dead Flowers and Mama Kin which Axl hadn't sang in 19 and 20 years respectively. I've seen some of the youtube clips and the band sure looked like they were having fun, even Axl.

    Garbage.

    Axl Rose has sat in his dressing room for hours when he could be on stage countless times.

    He made us wait a couple of hours at Reading Festival in 2010 for no reason and then got shitty when they shut him down.

    They were superb at Download Festival 2006, but they took the piss in 2010 at Reading.
