Axl Rose has shot down criticism from fan groups for yet another late arrival by asserting that he couldn’t give two fucks what they think.
Rose pitched up an hour late at last night’s O2 arena show, just over a month after a similar stunt at Reading Festival led to him being booed for extended periods by his own fans.
Life-long Guns n Roses fan Glyn Harris said of the O2 show, “We were waiting for what seemed like an age when Rose finally pitched up, resplendent in his plugs and whatnot. The show was alright but I could help but get the feeling that he was just sort of laughing at us in between songs.
“But then I suppose If I knew that people had paid top dollar to see me turn up late, parade a band of phonies and basically phone in a half arsed performance I’d be pretty tickled.”
An unnamed member of the new Guns n Roses said last night that the singer’s after show party basically consisted of the band gathering around the light shining out of rose’s arsehole as he cackled manically into the small hours of the night, taking occasional breaks to shout derogatory remarks about the ‘gullible cunts’.
“I wasn’t sure whether or not I had to sit and take it to be honest, but then I’m being paid by the hour so I just sort of thought ‘fuck it’.
“Better this than going back to session work on Sheryl Crowe’s new album.”
He added, “I hate myself”.
