2nd time they've cancelled on Vancouver on a last minute notice. F*** YOU AXL http://www.canada.com/vancouver/story.asp?id={C47F66E5-AC20-4E4D-9162-A69F57989337}
To be fair, this isn't Guns N Roses. This band should be called "Axl's fat ass and six othe guys", but that doesn't look too good on a t-shirt...
Are any of you going to spend any money to see Axl the overweight heroin addict child molester jiggle his flab at the Compaq Center? If so, take pictures and post them here. We need all the humor we can get in this world.
Long ago, I saw them open for the Cult at the Coliseum. Nobody knew who they were at that point (circa 1988?), and they were truly horrid, out of tune, loud, obnoxious. The standing-room only crowd sat on their hands waiting for the Cult. For their last number, they did "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," and the lead singer started passing the mic into the first few rows so other people could bellow "Knockin on Heaven's Doooor!" But the first guy to grab the mic was this HUGE, classical strapping Texas guy. Looked like a linebacker, and he grabbed the mic and said tunelessly but clearly, in the accent that we all love, ... "This bahnd fuhkin suuhks," ... like Hank Hill but down an octave. All 10,000 people in the crowd started laughing and Axl or Slash or whoever sings tried to kick the big Texan. The big guy grabbed the singer's leg until security hauled him off. Wonderful moment, and it sums up what I've thought of the band (whatever the incarnation) since then.
