Axl Rose threatened to walk offstage during Guns N’ Roses show in Lima, Peru, after objects were thrown at him from the crowd.Apparently, fans were angry that GNR didn’t start their set until 12.30am, well over an hour after main support act Sebastian Bach had finished.
Axl stopped the show and, through an interpreter, said: “If you wanna throw shit, we will leave. We would like to stay and have fun with you for a long time tonight. So we’re gonna have fun? Let’s try that again”.
Check out footage of the incident here.







I reckon it’s about time one of those audiences twisted his words and all turned around and walked out! Can you imagine the look on his face if that happened? Also imagine if you can what would have happened if he had tried that shit at the Glasgow Apollo all those years ago! They probably would have thrown ’shit’ (the real mccoy!) at him!
Why should any performer have to put up with idiots throwing stuff at the stage? Bottom line is it puts the band and stage staff at risk of injury and Axl is quite right to let them know it is not acceptable.
Of course because its Axl saying it, the media and internet halfwits fall over themselves to put a negative spin on it and turn it into another “Axl is a very bad man” yarn ZzZzZzZzZzz
Axl throws a wobbler-shock-horror-drama. Who even gives a small portion of a rat’s arse anymore?Remember all the shit that used to fly through the air at any festival back in the day…pass me that Woodpecker cider bottle full of piss if you please lol
I don’t blame him. If a few wankers in the audience start throwing stuff I’d try and throw them out and if that didn’t happen I’d be off. Still he’s always been a tosser for getting onstage on time. People like him because he’s edgy, tallented, mesmeric and confrontational; take that away and he’s not Axl. Its about time the press stopped baiting him as well – because most of the shit thats happended has been their fault.
Sounds like a replay of Brisbane a couple of years ago

MG, totally agree. I would laugh if everybody did that!!
axl is a dick! always has been always will be!
Hmm, I would normally recoil at the thought of missiles being thrown at any band, just coz you bought a ticket, it doesnt mean you have the right to assault anyone. HOWEVER, surely a ticket is a two way contract, in which a performer is obliged to perform ON TIME REGULARLY and not when they think they’ve made the audience stew enough. Maybe a few bottles of freshly passed home brew on the head would pass the necessary message onto Axl Grease: RESPECT YOUR AUDIENCE or don’t expect respect in return!!
when are they coming back to the UK???
FACT 1. None has the right to assault anyone no matter what.
FACT 2. Axl is a dick, when it comes to appearing on time
FACT 3. People have the right to be mad about such a shity behaviour
FACT 4. THATS WHY I STOPPED GOING TO GNRS GIGS.
CHEERS
why does Axel keep doing this, you can be forgiven a great deal of things in the rock world, disrespecting your fans isnt one of them
Axl can start whenever he’s ready. They could start at 4AM and I’d still be waiting. Lighten up…
axl rose is a sad guy
people are not gonna respect and artist that doesnt have respect for his audience.
hope next time people throw bananas intead of bottles.
