Guns N' Roses Walk Off Stage In Ireland

Guns N' Roses walked off the stage at the O2 Arena in Dublin, Ireland on Wednesday night (September 1st) just 22 minutes into their set, after keeping fans waiting for well over an hour for the band to begin playing. According to Entertainment.ie, Guns came on at 10:25 p.m. -- more than an hour after the opening act finished playing and leading members of the audience to boo and throw water bottles at the stage. More bottles arrived onstage after the group finally did start their show, leading singer Axl Rose to announce, "One more bottle and we're going home, we're here to have fun and we hope you are too, but one more and we are gone." Three songs later, another object was hurled onstage. Rose said goodnight, the group stopped the show and left the stage at 10:50 p.m. By 11:10 p.m., the house lights had come on and most of the crowd had left, despite staff members saying that they were trying to get the group to return. Finally, at 11:25 p.m., Guns came back to play to a mostly empty venue, with the remaining audience members still angry. There have been no official announcements about the matter, nor has the O2 issued any statements regarding refunds. This latest drama follows last weekend's controversial Guns N' Roses gigs at England's Reading and Leeds Festivals, where the band came onstage late despite warnings from the promoters, and had both sets cut short. Rose posted a series of messages on Twitter claiming that the band was under the impression that their curfew was to be extended, although promoters had clearly said earlier in the week that Guns had to abide by local curfew regulations.
