Actually the electricity was cut off because the concert went on too late and Axl threw his Mic at the stage manager, then encouraged the fans to riot.

My friend was there

In fairness at least they gave it a shot, was it a reel or a jig?

Here is the problem, when they really were Guns and Roses Axl would do this all of the time. Slash and Iggy would cover for him by jamming in the meantime until he calmed down and returned.

Now you've got a rent-a-band on stages that very few people care about.

That's contrary to what EVERYONE else is saying!

Apparently they didn't come on til 10.30...O2 curfew is 11. People started booing, he got a pint thrown at him, refused to play again until booing stopped, got a bottle thrown at him and then walked off.

Stay classy, Dublin.
I remember a few friends coming back early from the Top Hat in Dun Laoighre back in the late 80's after Slayer walked off stage because everyone was spitting at them.

At least Slayer had a good reason.
