After being warned in the press by the promoter of the Reading Festival that they’d be penalised if they went on stage late, Guns N’ Roses did just that. Going on stage an hour late, they got in to an argument with the festival promoters who pulled the plug during their set, after which the band took to Twitter to have a whinge.
DJ Ashba, who is one of Axl Roses’ latest hirings said: “Apparently the promoter has had a personal grudge with GN’R stemming from eight years ago, if this was the case why book the band? He knows our show. Let me guess… To take our fans money and then not allow us to give them a show that they payed [sic] for. This was clearly not a curfew thing because after cutting our power like a selfish money grabbing prick, he allowed music blasting through out the venue till the early morning.”
