Fans In U.K. Walk Out On new Guns N' Roses Gig
Fans In U.K. Walk Out On Guns N' Roses Comeback Gig

A report from across the great pond tells the story of how fans walked out of Guns N' Roses' comeback London gig last night, apparently because lead singer Axl Rose was over an hour late.
The band's followers waited hours for Rose to arrive but many lost patience and stormed out. Rose is the only original member in the new-look line-up Gunz.
The 'Sweet Child 'O Mine' rocker didn't hit the stage until 10:45pm, which was one hour and 15 minutes behind the promoted 9:30pm start at the Hammersmith Apollo. Many fans left simply because they didn't want to miss their trains.
Daily Star writer Carl Stroud reports: "My expectations were high. They haven't played this venue for 19 years ... But you could feel the crowd getting hacked off as the 9.30pm stage time came and went without any explanation ... Hundreds of fans abandoned the show to get public transport home. Lots of people I spoke to had come from outside London and had no choice ... They got nothing for their effort."
For the more fortunate who either didn't live far or didn't have jobs, Guns N' Roses treated them to a 120 minute, hit-saturated set which included four new tracks from upcoming album 'Chinese Democracy.'
