Despite upping the ante and demonstrating some of the worst behaviour of the band’s live career recently, Axl Rose and his band of session players are not going to be granting refunds to fans who bottled the band off stage in their recent Dublin show. While the band came back on stage eventually and performed their full set, the gig did not finish until 1am – on a school night. Many fans left in disgust, but they won’t be getting any money back.
A spokesperson for concert promoters MCD said: “Despite (Axl’s) continued appeals, having tried to continue performing for 22 minutes, people continued throwing unknown substances leaving the artist with no choice but to leave the stage. While the artist has a long history for being late on stage, no artist should be subjected to missiles and unknown substances being thrown at them. Once people stopped throwing items, Guns N’ Roses returned on stage and performed their full set list of songs, so the issue of refunds does not arise.”
