Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke!


« on: January 05, 2016, 02:50:13 PM »

Does anyone know how many GnR concerts have actually been cancelled over the years, whether with the UYI lineup (& earlier), or during the more recent lineups. So many people have said something to me along the lines of "Axl never shows up to the concerts, etc." (& the latest Kimmel news makes them feel like they're right).  I would just like to have some solid facts about how many shows have really been cancelled. I was at the Philly no-show, but since then the band has played hundreds of shows, mostly free of any cancellation drama. Just curious. Thanks

Check the wikipedia pages for the GNR tours, it's listed there.

In the CD era, most cancellations came from 2001 and 2002. Not many after that.

this thread will get hijacked so quickly... just watch

They will always been known for coming on late and cancelling... that is mostly Axl Rose's deal too.

In recent memory they've been really good.

2010: Costa Rica (unsafe stage), Guatemala
2011: Albany, Southaven
2014: Mexico (canceled by festival promoter)

Not anything out of the ordinary.

Yes, a handful of dates at the end of 2006/early 2007.

So, the question remains, is that relevant to talking about cancellations today? Not saying it does to you, but it seems like people are prepared to use any facts they can to prove their point.

I believe there were four shows in January 2007.

Some things, you just never live down.

I know you seem to think records of your past behavior get expunged like some underage drinking charge, but that's not how the world works.

Terms like "rant", "riot", "cancellation", "lateness" and the like will never be far out of the conversation when it comes to Axl Rose.  Just how it is.

I would agree that if you are going to use St. Louis in 1991 as a reason not to buy a ticket in 2016, that's misguided.

But I would also tell you that no matter what percentage you want to put on it, the percentage chance something will go wrong with Axl Rose is higher than all his peers.  Perception is reality.  No one buys a ticket for Pearl Jam and hopes Eddie doesn't fuck up their night.  Or tickets to the Stones and hopes Mick doesn't storm offstage after 3 songs.

With Axl, its always there.  Even if its just gallows humor.  I sat in the lobby in 2011 with fans across the spectrum (young/old, male/female, etc) and we were all making the same jokes.  Not one person either didn't get those jokes, nor felt they were unfair.

Fairly sure they were supposed to play South Africa (or somewhere in Africa) in 2007 but it got cancelled when Tommy broke his arm or something?


EDIT: Yep, South Africa in 2007. Not a broken arm but a sprained wrist.

Both, maybe?.

The Albany show was cancelled due to "Production issues" and it was Magic City and the venue that cancelled, not really GnR.  The rumor was (and I'm not sure we ever got more specifics..maybe, I forget) that it was becuase the Fire Marshall had issues with the pryo on review. 

Southaven (about 2 weeks later?) was cancelled for the same reason (production issues).

Yeah, the Costa Rica shows and the Mexico shows were totally not under the bands control, either.

With Albany and Southaven, it was "production issues".  I think the rumor at the time was that it had something to do with some of the pyro, and the fire marshall not being on board with it..but I'm not sure if we got any more info that confirmed or refuted that.  I don't remember...

Milwaukee was cancelled, too.  I think that was Axl with strep, if I remember right.

Yes, July 4th 1991, Tinley Park, IL, due to St. Louis Riot debacle. I was totally bummed as I had tickets but Axl made up for it with the remake show at Rosemont Horizon that following February '92, killer 3 hour show with special guest Shannon Hoon singing Don't Cry!! Super pumped for upcoming shows, seriously considering the trek out to Cali from Chicago with wife. beer

Yes, I remember your "warnings" before the 2014 Vegas residency.
And then people wonder why casual fans and "civilians" have these ideas.....
