Didn't Danko Jones get over an hour last time? I reckon Thin Lizzy will get the same.

Would love to know how they got Axl on stage at almost exactly 8pm in 2006.

Potential fine and he wanted to get back to london

scudzilla · 12-05-2012 7:47pm

i 'think' i seen them at Donington that same weekend in 06, he came on 3 minutes early!! Sure he had a few hissy fits and walked off cos his 'Dancing Area' was wet (Said on the mic, "if you can't do your fcukin job i can't do mine" to a roadie)

About 10:45. Due on at 9:30 but the support act was still going. Took nearly exactly an hour for the set changeover. Sounds like they had a problem with the pyro which delayed things.

Would you say that was a legit reason or just a made up excuse because Axl was being Axl?

No clue. Him being at soundcheck makes me think it was legit, but, it's pushing 11pm and they havent gone on yet tonight.

Was seriously thinking of picking up tickets for this but wanted to wait and see how the other 2 gigs beforehand went.

By the looks of things Axl is gonna pull the same crap. I wouldn't wanna be there if he doesn't come on til 10:45...The last time was bad enough!

I'd like to think that MCD had some sense and put major penalty clauses into the contract for this gig like if he doesn't get to the stage at a reasonable time, they don't get paid.

11:20 and apparently he has only left the hotel now! :rolleyes:

I will cut them a little slack tonight (maybe last night too), as it's the weekend. If it were midweek (like the Dublin show) he cant possibly get away with that.

You'll probably still get ticket's on the day, worst case scenario, you get a Thin Lizzy show to enjoy before hand.

You'd think promotors all over the world would have done the same but it doesnt seem to have happened. It's not a new thing either, he's been doing it for 25 years.

How did you find that out or is it just interwebs heresay?

gnfnrhead · 12-05-2012 8:39pm

11:40 and they are on. Apprently the crowd were starting to get annoyed but they came on before anything could happen.

Russian GNR sites. Doing as it happens updates and someone reported they seen him leaving the hotel.

They'd be very fcukin stupid if they don't put something in the contract, giving what happened last time.

Hope the gig goes well, but we're talking about Axl Rose here. The man's a law unto himself.

PTH2009 · 13-05-2012 7:26pm

wonder what Axl and co are going to do in Dublin for the days leading up to the show. When are they due to land in Ireland ??

I'd say the band will arrive tomorrow (check out ashba's twitter for updates), Axl will probably base himself in London for the Euro tour.
If ya wanna meet them then i'll give ya a clue.

Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn

I got two tickets for this a few weeks back. I'm prepared for a late show to be honest, but what's the general consensus? Do people think that there's a genuine chance the band will be on time this time round?

The band will be on time, it's the singer that's the problem!

I don't think they give an actual time, do they? For Axl, that means he is always on time. I'd expect them on at a reasonable time, but probably not what would be the expected time.

PTH2009 · 14-05-2012 1:30pm

id say gnr will start at round 9.45-10pm.

It always seems to be second nights that axl is always late. He was on time for the first moscow show on the 11th and then late for the second show on the 12th.

RVD420 · 14-05-2012 2:33pm

Ashba is in Kilmainham prison at the moment...

Sorry if someone already asked this question but I've been mentally arguing with myself for weeks on whether or not to chance it 2nd time around(cost me about 300 euros=tickets/hotel/train etc last time)...are there many going this time who got burned last Sept?

I didn't go in Sept but am goin Thurs night, purely because i picked up a pair of really cheap Standing tix, 60 for both i think.

Go on www.adverts.ie, there's plenty of tickets out there, offer 30quid for one, i'd say you'd get it, not much of a risk then.

Where ya comin from?

fool me once...

I was there last year. Not a chance am i going this year. (or to one of his 'shows' ever again)

Adrift · 15-05-2012 8:07am

I was on to the O2 there. They are adament that the show will be over by 1100pm..............we'll see.

EyesClosed · 15-05-2012 9:06am

Does anybody know how his voice has been the last few gigs? It was terrible for the american dates

ozzy jr · 15-05-2012 10:27am

i would be more concerned with some idiot in the crowd throwing a bottle than Axl's voice or what time he turns up at. That's all it will take to mess up everyone's night. I certainly wouldn't risk it if it was costing me €300, I'd happily go along on a €30 ticket though.

not really, sure he will be late that's fine, but if he cant even sing any more, then what's the point in him even showing up

I had travelled from Cork on my ownsome and I've finally decided not to part with anymore cash to see this guy, I was furious about my treatment (told to leave by security last Sept cos it was "over" etc).I really hope the little s**t decides to treat his fans better this time around.....

The only people who got burned were those that left. Everybody else got a show, albeit later than anyone would have liked. Nobody told me to leave, and nobody told anyone close to me to leave. If you left, it's your own fault.

If you don't have anything on Friday, and can get cheap tickets, I'd go.
