Download Festival Crowd = Double Talkin Jive Mother Fuckers

[Cocaine Tongue]

After watching several clips on youtube of the concert. There was bottle throwing, boos, piss flying at the stage, and slanderous comments against gnr. What the fuck was the problem they had technical difficulties.

So glad I flew to Lisbon to see them.....any fucker which trys that shit in Glasgow    

Even so I would like peoples views who where there?

If you are pissed at Kerrang and the Download crowd. I recommend some therapy from Uncle Axl...in the form of a small rant about Kerrangs excellent material

At the end of the day

If everyone thought they were so bad, why did the crowd hang around?

They wern't forced to stay.

But they did.

If Guns were really that bad, everyone would have walked away.

But they didn't.

They all stayed.


Personally, for me, that says it all.

Yo dude

You got to remember theres like 80 000 people there and i know there were loads at lisbon as well but its a different type of crowd.

They were the last band to go on so even people not that intrested in them go and see them for shit and giggles.

I heard We want slash chants, Axl fuck off and loads other.

I think people in the UK expect them to fail. If you looked at the download forum before that weekend everyone was slagging GNR and there were polls asking if you think they will turn up at all.

As for Piss and bottles going off that happened all the time on the main stage nothing GNR related

After there problems they were brill!!!

exactly.  I'm not going to stand there and let myself get pissed off if a band is on i'm not enjoying.  If the show sucks, you bail.

[F*ck Fear]

Well people that use their brains would leave. But why stay there and boo the band, and throw shit at the band if you were enjoying the show?

[Karin_Sixx]

who knows, because people are morons??.... they like to see people fail??.... they think its funny to be able to say "i saw axl and friends and i bottled him because im soooo cool"??

Either way, i don't care for there useless opinions

Axl stayed on to the end. They lost. They couldn't make him leave. But they stayed for him.

There was quite a few members of the crowd at Download i felt like throttling, during Ron's solo some guys across the barrier were even chanting for Slash and i just got fed up and lobed a bottle at them, which thankfully seemed to shut em up.

I dont care what anyone says they were amazing at Donington, with all the grief they were gettin i just thought to myself if would be perfect if they played Out Ta Get me at that exact time and sure enough what did they play but that. It was perfect timing and Axl just completely tore up the place during that song, from then on it just got better and better. And it was great to see the band have this air of danger back around them, they just had the edge. it was brilliant, G N' R are officially fuckin back baby!!

[rockgod]

I felt embarrased to be a part of the crowd at Donnington, 70% id say were complete Idiots, I would never go to a show like that again and I hope GNR wouldnt play somewhere like that again, Those Morons didnt deserve to see GNR

[3m3r5]

TBH I had a bad feeling all through the concert (apart from the first 3 songs) I was on such a high after the atmosphere of the Prodigy gig, that it just felt flat and I really wanted GnR to just blow the crowd away and when it didn't happen it was like a big comedown.
I love GnR and I hope they can reinstate true rock n' roll into mainstream when their album comes out, but now I really fear rock n' roll is dead. Fuck knows I hate to say it but I just don't know if ppl want it anymore... or maybe it was just the wrong gig for GnR, not heavy enough anymore.
Hopefully when I go to see them in Manchester It'll change my opinion.

I think that all the crap from the fans actually did more good than anything (i wasnt there by the way). Not only did it bring back that dangerous side to GNR - which is one of the main appeals to the brand "Guns N' Roses", but it also portrayed the band in a good like - staying on, putting on a show for the real fans and sticking together rather than walking or diving into the crowd!

Not only that - but maybe he will rant a little! :eek:  

[Robbie]

All the bands before got bottled GNR were no exception!!

[rockgod]

i didnt understand it really, ALL of the bands that played that weekend with the exception of Metallica and GNR obviously, were utter utter rubbish! yet GNR got the worst crowd reception of all....wierd

I think that says more about the type of people that were there than anything else

[Fhocker]

Maybe, like former Gunners, they think that its not 'the real gnr' or shit like that & aren't willing to give them a chance. My mate who isn't a GNR fan was at download and said despite all the shit that happened, it was probably one of the best live performances he's seen in a long time, that there was so much energy on stage from Axl.

[Karin_Sixx]

A lot of the people there just wanted to hear SCOM or Paradise, they werent old gunners, they were the people that sit at home and watch Kerrang, mindlessly singing along to the only 2 videos that ever get played by the likes of Kerrang and the prick that is Zane Lowe

Like, for example, if when they all came back out after rons solo and did either of those two songs the crowd would have been as happy as hell, but because they choose to do Better, they all got grumpy and booed him, there not the real fans, the real fans were there singing there asses off to Better, just like i did.
Axl doesn't care about what those morons think, he knows he has genuwine fans that love Guns no matter what.
And he knows he doesn't have to try and impress people, because he's got that one in the bag
