Last week Axl Rose reportedly refused to go on stage in Newcastle until he had been fed a full roast lamb dinner. Notoriously unreliable UK tabloid The Mirror quoted the venue manager saying, “only a roast dinner would do.” More credible sources confim that this was the same performance that featured Rose getting pelted by some bottles. Coincidence? You be the judge.

I don’t its fair or funny to put a blog up that has no facts to it… if you did your research, it was a coin that was tossed, and can you blame Axl for walking off stage? What kind of idiot would through foriegn objects at people who they paid to watch that are willing to invest time and effort to give a great performance… the roast lamb dinner is just media juice too.. the fact remains, Guns N Roses has been putting on a major successful tour overseas and when the North American tour and album date is announced, only then will we see who is laughing, as Guns N Roses will regain their position as the greatest rock band on the planet…

guns will never regain their greatest status, hell they arent even guns n’ roses, they are axl with some fillers. thats like calling them the rolling stones w/out keith richards. w/o slash they will never be the real guns n roses. just like guns was a joke on the mtv awards, when everyone saw who it was they said, ‘um no’. the only way chinese democracy will sell is just because of the hype

And you only say that because you aren’t a true fan, and you haven’t heard any of the new material to realize it is the real deal. The new guitarist “Bumblefoot” is nothing short of amazing.
Gordon | 7/26/2006, 10:47 am EST
Whatever the reason for Axl’s late show, turning up 75 mins late in Newcastle is asking for trouble
toby | 7/27/2006, 6:15 am EST
when you don’t have any respect for the fans that put you on the map in the first place,chances are you might get hit with a bottle, coin, maybe even full roast lamb dinner!
sam1ash | 7/28/2006, 12:08 pm EST
I agree with RockGod!!! Who do you people think you are??? Axl is a great Rock star and you who disagree please tell me where I can buy your CD.
lillapoyka | 7/28/2006, 12:19 pm EST
Axl needs to remember he is a has been. Your 15 minutes of fame are up buddy.
james | 7/28/2006, 12:30 pm EST
i said it in the begining guns and posers
RockJesus | 7/28/2006, 12:31 pm EST
I just wish he’d lose that look. Is he blind? Doesn’t he realize he looks like an idiot dressed like that? Rose needs therapy.
jeff.g | 7/28/2006, 12:32 pm EST
RockGod – What, you didn’t see all of our CDs there in the store? They’ve been filed in the row right next to Chinese Democracy for the last what, ten years?
GnR only had one album truly worth crowing about (the then-outstanding Appetite for Destruction), and enough time has passed that I think we all know it.
Prove me wrong, Axl…please, prove me wrong…and I’ll gladly order up my hat…but only if it’s roasted, of course.
bush hog | 7/28/2006, 12:32 pm EST
axl is a punk. go home and stay there. you have disrespected your fans for to long. hey axl, ever heard of velvet revolver. now there’s a rock n roll band. you should buy there cd. it is awesome.
Bonehead | 7/28/2006, 12:41 pm EST
Hey RockGod put the bong done you need some fresh air. Axle been a punk from day one!
zorch | 7/28/2006, 12:54 pm EST
Read “The Ugly American” to get a sense of just what damage a jerk off punk like Rose does to our image overseas. Bad enough we have this mega-illiterate President making us all look like rubes! Let’s get w/the program and get some pride back.
Clavey | 7/28/2006, 12:56 pm EST
Axl what happened to you dude? Guns and Roses was a great band, with all the original members. You screwed up big time with this band. Forget the past and move on to the future you had a good thing going.
Mr Hunghorse | 7/28/2006, 12:57 pm EST
Axl Rose is a twit. Seriously. Yes, Guns N Roses as a band produced a couple of solid albums in the disstant past … but what’s touring now is not Guns N Roses … it’s Axl N Posers. Axl has finally pissed away the small fortune he amassed when GNR was successful, and is now using the Guns N Roses name to sell more tickets to old fans who are satisfied with eating his table scraps of a band. Seriously .. if Axl had any respect for what Guns N Roses did in the past, any respect for former band members and fans … he’d let the legend of Guns N Roses be and tour anew on his own talent. Ahhhh … there’s the rub … NO TALENT !!!!
P-dant | 7/28/2006, 1:01 pm EST
What a frightening bunch of illiterates.
tara | 7/28/2006, 1:02 pm EST
axl is such a cry baby. first it was the supposed “bad sound quality” in canada, and now the lamb roast in united kingdom. give it up to the universe, you jerk. oh and cut those dreads off, you look like a tool.
Dean | 7/28/2006, 2:19 pm EST
Axel Rose is still the jerk that he was during the day.To call his current band Guns n ‘Roses minus the original members of Guns n ‘Roses is a joke.Velvet Revolver is closer to Guns n’ Roses that he is.It is most of the main members without Axel.Add Scott Weiland to the vocals in his place.Besides,he is a much better singer.
Guns n’Roses was a band.It is not just Axel Rose.He seems to not get that at all.
Bonesaw | 7/28/2006, 3:41 pm EST
Guns n Roses Sucked and so does Axl.
NoRockGod | 7/28/2006, 4:02 pm EST
Think again RockGod… GnR will NEVER be what they once were. Give it up for christ’s sake.
David | 7/28/2006, 4:20 pm EST
Hey Axl,
Stick a protein bar up your ass and hit the stage you white trash cretin. That’s your job. Dissing the few remaining fans willing to gamble good money on actually seeing a rock concert when you’re involved isn’t too smart. This is your last chance pal. Your rock star hissy fits are old news. Man, Cobain had you pegged for sure. It’s all been done before…and better. Now do you have something to say or not? We’re waiting…and it’s not for you to finish your goddamn dinner. What vocalist in their right mind goes onstage with a full stomach anyway? Real good for the diaphragm…but then I wouldn’t characterize what you do as singing. And RockGod…GnR are still a great band…’cept now they have a decent frontman and have changed their name to Velvet Revolver.
primus | 7/28/2006, 6:11 pm EST
axl sucks…….period!
craig | 7/28/2006, 6:13 pm EST
the only smart thing u have ever done after gnr was hiring brain from primus and buckethead also affiliated with primus…u suck axl!
xavizen | 7/28/2006, 6:34 pm EST
Axl Rose is a jerk, there is no GNR anymore
lost gesneration music | 7/28/2006, 7:32 pm EST
Axl is one of rocks best frontman,
he has and will always be great,
after all he has been threw,
starting over with a new band you have to understand.
Opi Sin | 7/28/2006, 8:16 pm EST
GNR was one of the best! ; but axl’s antics have done nothing but put him in the crazy world of delusional has- been’s. Get back to your spritual path cause you are doing nothing but act like brittney’s wacked out cousin. Peace!
Jake the Corn Flake | 7/28/2006, 8:28 pm EST
Hey Axl is that complete face reconstruction what’s left over from the severe beating Tommy Hilfiger gave you? Coincidence? And what’s w/the dreads? A racist bastard like you is a disgrace to any Rasta postering. Get real, jerk. Hit more ladies w/wine bottles. Show your true colors.
wyatt24540 | 7/28/2006, 8:53 pm EST
Guns N’ Roses was a top band before their break up. Such a shame that happens to great bands such as Creed, Van Halen etc. Seems that substituting members of bands has never worked to be as good as the original. Time will tell if the new GNR will survive.
McUzi | 7/28/2006, 9:16 pm EST
Well, Axl, if you put on a crap show, people WILL pelt you with any item they have to throw. Put on a BS act, take the things they throw.
some guy | 7/29/2006, 12:41 am EST
here we go again.
someone kill this moron before he strikes again…
Rocket Queen | 7/29/2006, 3:47 am EST
Axl beats to his own drum. He doesn’t care what anyone thinks. That’s the way it will always be.
I’ll say this. The guy still puts on an amazing show.
I just wish he didn’t do these silly things because it takes away from the incredible talent.
rock fan | 7/29/2006, 9:05 am EST
whent to the show in nottingham it was a full house and it was buzzing g&r started at 10.10 2 hours after warm up band ..most of the fans were half asleep one good song the rest was dulliv seen beter pub bands and paid a lot less never again
Spradlinn | 7/29/2006, 11:54 am EST
I never understood why people put GNR in the same league as Zeppelin, AC/DC and the rest. I laughed out loud when I first heard Axl’s ’singing’ voice. I thought ‘THIS is what people are raving about?’. He sounded like one of those old dolls that whine when you shake them vigorously. Let’s face it, it was Slash and the rest of them that made GNR rock. I’ve savored every mistake this clown has made, and saluted his Spinal Tap-ian antics every step of the way. Way to alienate the rest of your dwindling fans, truly damaged people to begin with! Really, what other rock star-has been has supplied us with such amusement over the decades?! OK, Michael Jackson, but after him ….? Long live Axl!!

You don’t have to have a CD out to realize that Rose has been living off the rep that the origional GnR built. True, he did help build that rep and he’s not the first “rockstar” to live off the past but just because you can do it doesn’t mean it’s to be done
axlisgay | 7/29/2006, 10:09 pm EST
Enough is said! He always has been a cornball and the fact that people still pay to see him reflects on the high occurance of inbreeding in the remote areas of Mexico!!!!
Angelica | 7/30/2006, 1:09 pm EST
Why is everyone so amazed that Axl is acting “crazy”? He’s always been like this! And his weirdo personality is one of the main things everyone used to like about him. Remember the St. Louis riot, skipping bail, breaking bottles over his neighbours head, abusing his girlfriends, arriving late to concerts, throwing tantrums, etc.? This classic behavior of his isn’t going to change – it’s part of who he is! Girls used to want to change him and that was part of the appeal. Unfortunately, maybe it’s because his body and looks are past their peak that people are now rolling their eyes and looking the other way. Peronsally, I like hearing about Axl’s outrageous behavior because it reminds me of the good ole days.
Just remember people, he’s still the same person so why do you expect him to act differently than before?
David | 8/1/2006, 5:40 pm EST
Uhh…I believe it’s called growing up, Angelica. We’re all the same people we were when we were two years old…we just don’t act like it.
bill the dog | 8/14/2006, 5:53 pm EST
axl is a screwed up punk,,thats the whole of it,,, gnr was all hype,,, appetite for distruction was a good producers album,punched in stuff between there drug binges,right off the bat , the band could even play the record after it was done!!! axl will always screw up,,for him,, that what sells ,,,
Hambone Williams | 8/14/2006, 6:28 pm EST
Guns is over. Axl was a badass but is now an idiot. thats it in a nutshell.
Rena | 10/29/2006, 10:12 am EST
I think, he is still very sexy and wild. No matter what.I would love to have his autograph, specially for me -only.
Conz | 7/4/2007, 2:59 am EST
I think it’s fair to say that Axls image has definitely changed. the years have not been good to him and his appearance is evidence of this. what happened to the thin handsome spunky Axl we grew up with? At 45 he certainly is no Brad Pitt! With Regard to His career, he performed 2 shows in Auckland NZ last Friday an Satday, i didn’t attend as i knew what to expect. As it turns out, the crowd was disappointed, Axl has indeed lost that spark, if it weren’t for former “SkidRow” frontman Sebastian Bach making an appearance……… Come On Axl, you can’t expect to continue progressing forward while releasing and touring old albums and songs. You may not and will not be capable of resurrecting the Fame and popularity of the eraly 90’s you once had. Don’t get me Wrong, Axl is a very talented, Gifted performer, he just needs new and original maerial that will get us up and out to the CD store to make a purchase. A washed up “Has Been” he has been labelled, it’s looking alot like that. Slash To The Rescue Please…….
