Re: Reading, United Kingdom - August 27, 2010 (Reading Festival)
HOW HAVE THEY TURNED THIS AROUND!
Plug gets pulled and they are now "the people's band". It's really astounding.
Genius I tell you. They go from apparently having a horrible show, to demanding to play more for the people.
Well, not really. If they started on damn time they could've wrapped things up nicely. You gotta wonder though if they do this stuff on purpose. Actually I'm quite sure of it. They were threatened. Axl tweeted 2 hours before show time to show people, "oh, he's there, they'll definitely be on time." Then they STILL go on an hour late as if to say, "F- you, I want to see you pull that plug." And, they did.
I'm not sure what to make of this. Will this change anything? Probably not.

I don't know...I don't think this is as cool as some of you seem to...this has huge backfire potential even if they think they're doing the right thing.
it's only a bit of fun, lighten up. it's a little silly rock n roll moment.

Re: Reading, United Kingdom - August 27, 2010 (Reading Festival)
If they were the people's band, they'd have hit the stage on time...
Agreed. They were warned. They knew the consequences, yet they still went on late when apparently there was really no good reason, aside from the trash pickup that Mysteron mentioned (what happened to that?).
In their defense though, it SEEMS like they handled the situation they put themselves into as well as they could have. Of course, let's wait for the full postgame recap.

I was thinking in terms of creating a riot...
Re: Reading, United Kingdom - August 27, 2010 (Reading Festival)
aparently they finished NT with no sound then did an acoustic version of PC with axl singin on a megaphone...now they've left the stage
Somebody better put that up on youtube. There's always SOMETHING, just when you think there's NOTHING.

This show was a big clusterfuck.
it's very much typical of the saga & a microcosm of the whole CD-era/world tour really.
