Tonight's show in Portland, ME is cancelled [press release]

[misterID]

At least there were no riots, no one got hurt and there was an official statement.

But I do reccomend the Chinese Democracy frustration thread in Dead Horse. Its quite theraputic

[1badapple]

it is of paramount importance that our fans have the best experience possible without being harassed and threatened.

what harrassment / threats were anticipated?

That's what i was wondering. What does not having pyro have to do with fans being threatened?

You're threatening the quality of the experience of the fans by putting on a half-assed show.? The integrity of the show is imporant to maintain.. fans know that when GNR are on stage, it's a kickass experience to witness.? Anything less is unacceptable.? Don't misinterpret what their statement said.? It means what it means... don't take it at an elementary literary significance.

Dude, it says HARRASSED and THREATENED. They make it sound like GnR fans could've been in danger or something.

They've fed us so much BS in their press releases over the years it's hard to tell when they're telling the truth.

I thought Merck and GNR weren't with Sanctuary anymore.  This press release says its from Sanctuary.

already is a thread for this, dont you use your search button

That joke just cost him a karma point? ?

I have a question (cause I've not been in this situation before) - what happens if you go all the way to the show in Worcester, only to find that it's sold out, they can't fit anyone else in? You are just sol and have to go home?

That's not what i'm saying. To avoid gas, time, ticket price, etc. ... just go ahead and get a refund. Don't bother going to Worcester.

I love how the other thread needed to get removed because "Jarmo" has to make the announcement.

I'm sure it was removed because of all the rampant speculation.

Okay... I can see that they say harrassed and threatened. ?You'll find in life that both words have various meanings. ?To one person, being harrassed requires a person to be raped in a dark alley somwehere. ?In an office setting, someone that constantly turns a coworkers chair around while they're in the bathroom can be considered harrassment. ?Poor example, but I don't think that explaining the difference is worthy of a substantial amount of my time. ?You can threaten anything, including the quality of an experience.

Sorry man. That is a damn shame.

Why do I get the feeling the Town Officials just didn't want GNR there

[-Jack-]

GNR pulled a classy move with their press release and by allowing tickets from the cancelled date to be accepted for the next gig. 

[gnr2006]

I think they are doing a wonderful job of taking care of this the best they can.

I 100 percent expect them to be in Worchester, and I just bought more tickets for friends for MSG on Friday.

the band will be there.

it smacks of desperation to me. and lends credibility to the conspiracy claims.

People like you are so sad.

It's pretty sad that so many people don't believe a thing GNR tells them, but they still stick around and "get abused."

They will absolutely play the garden.. if anything went wrong there, it would be career suicide for anyone.  It's always been about NY - Axl said so himself.  Can't wait to rock out there!

hey man, thats grossly unfair. i've been defending the offical reason for cancellation for the last 4 or 5 hours. but to accept that explanation fully is something that i think would be foolish to do - there is a history of bullshitting the fans with this band. you cant believe every single thing that comes out of axls mouth.

[gnr2006]

Most things don't come out of Axl's mouth

and most of the time, when they do come out of his mouth, they are true.

yes, though, i read the rest of your posts, and i apologize for being a little harsh on you personally.

[jarmo]

Read the press release again until you realize who's fault it was.

The band wanted to play the show, but some people decided GN'R weren't welcome at the venue.
