    Kick in the face to all the fans who bought tickets and waited so long for them to come on stage.

    I hope MCD give refunds.

    It will be quite interesting to see what happens. They are now under no obligation to give refunds as technically as long as he goes on stage and sings for any length of time, he's fulfilled the contract. (I hope i'm wrong but i think this is correct)

    22 minutes is a disgrace though and i hope MCD sue but i wouldn't hold my breath.

    the reason they are not calm is because they payed good money to hear good music and they aren't getting their moneys worth

    As you said, he came on stage, played, left. I wonder if MCD have any grounds to sue? I mean i doubt they have a contract saying GNR have to play for X amount of time.

    Plus, no doubt GNR will say that it was unsafe to play and they walked off stage for safety blah blah.

    True dat.

    Reminds me of the singer Cat Power's gig in Whelan's in... 2002 I think? Not exactly similar to this case but it was a mess of a gig... she came onstage inebriated and probably played a total three songs, spending most of the gig yapping and heckling to the crowd.

    That was an MCD one. Didn't get a refund for that but €15 or so is chump change compared to what seeing Axl would set you back!

    If I was on stage and the crowd was booing me and throwing bottles, I'd walk off too. A disgrace of a crowd.

    It goes both ways. Disgrace of a performer who can't be bothered to go on stage until 10.30

    If you were an hour and a half late/2 hours late youd deserve it

    I think the disruptive members of the crowd have no brains.

    "Oh, the performer was late, I guess I'll teach him a lesson by bottling him and booing, that'll encourage him to perform a full set and clean up his act".

    As if.

    Sure, he was late, but there's nothing you can do about that. Unless you want to waste even more of your money by shortening the concert even more by booing and throwing bottles.

    Dead right. Bottling him was too kind, he deserves a public stoning tomorrow on Sherriff Street.

    My friend was taunting me over going. Egg on his face now. :D
    poor show by Axl for being 2 hours late. If I was in the crowd I would be pissed so I can understand why the fans are so annoyed

    EDIT: apparantly he is coming back on?

    When Ozzy pulled out of Ozzfest in 2002 I remember MCD didn't give refunds but offered people tickets to Bryan Adams and maybe two other outdoor gigs.

    So maybe this time people will be given the choice of Simply Red or Shakira.

    Pathetic stuff and an embarrassment to proper rock Gods who, no matter how polaxed they were, got on with the show. Unless they were really drunk...

    I believe it was Bryan Adams or Meatloaf. I declined both.

    Seriously, I can't wait to hear about this on the radio tomorrow with people playing dumb that they didn't know how he acts. Anyone with complaints really must have been living under a rock if they thought this would be any different!

    I have to say one thing (bearing in mind that tickets would have been bought well in advance for the most part) the reputation of "Broken" Axel Rose is well established so was it a case just hoping that it would all turn out fine? Given the prices I don't think I'd have bothered myself.
