Well, it appears that we're gonna have an interesting evening.... You see, the city council and the promoters say we have to like end the show. And they'll say that I'm, they could say maybe I'm inciting a riot. Now I'm not, 'cause I don't want anyone to get arrested or anyone to get in trouble or anything like that. But I think we got a good seven or eight fuckin' songs left at least. And I didn't fuckin' come all the way over to fuckin' England to be told to go back fuckin home, by some fuckin' asshole! All I've got for the last eight years is shit after shit after shit in the fuckin' press and Axl's this, Axl's that. I'm here to play a fuckin' show and we wanna play! So, if you wanna stay, I wanna stay and we'll see what happens. Everybody... Nobody try to get in trouble or anything. Try to have a good time.

that sums up why Axl is so amazing and why we wait after all these years, name anyone else that wouldve said or done that? any other performer wouldve ended the show which is why i dont give a fuck about Clear Channel Entertainment cause Axl is bigger than Clear Channel and when he decides to tour again Clear Channel wont stop him.
Axl is real, an untamed human being that does what the fuck he wants, this is why I have a tattoo of him on my forearm, its the exact spirit i embody.
