Re: Reading, United Kingdom - August 27, 2010 (Reading Festival)
cuz U2 never broke curfew
anyway not saying what they did was right, but we're assuming he broke curfew on purpose, we dont know what went down...like i said 40 minutes after the previous band is actually fast, it takes longer for bands in bars to tear down between acts
anyway the promoter giving an ultimatum jsut to throw his weight around is pretty lame too...
No dude the promoter never gave an ultimatum. he stated what the curfew was and what the consequences were. It's the RULES. Also to say we don't know what went down is..... really Neemo? C'mon

grow the fuck up. Preach anarchy and Rock n' Roll all you want fact of the matter is there's things set in place and people follow them. This rock n roll idealism you're talking about right now sounds so damn childish.

I would still go Olorin, but I understand where you're coming from.
I guess I'm to weak. I can't say no to a night with beers, friends and GNR. Even if they show up late
Dont you have an essay to write?

Sorry Bono, I disagree. There's always more than one camp. It's never as black and white as the haters/nutswingers make it out to be.
Personally, I don't think the promoter was too smart to book GNR if you've got a curfew to meet. It's also not cool for Axl to go on late. See, two sides coming from the same mind. It's possible.
While we're at it. It was dumb of the promoter to go to the press with his warning to GNR. It was dumber for Axl to cancel the next gig from the stage.
Here's another. It's disrespectful to the fans to go on late, but how they ended the show was pretty cool. Wanna know how Axl's voice holds up? Let's hear the megaphone boot. That should tell us something.
Come live in the gray area folks. That's where most of the world resides.

exactly. & i choose to follow different things than you.
there's your way, the wrong way, and then there's many other ways. but they can only be got to by realising how boring & horrible your way is.
i thought i could live in ur world as years all went bye.. but then i realised i don't want to. it's much more fun outside.
