GUNS N' ROSES pulled off a show that got off a bit troubled in Brisbane. After
Rose Tattoo and Sebastian Bach had finished, Guns entered the stage pretty late
a few minutes before midnight. Someone from the crowd threw a beer at Axl during
Welcome To The Jungle.

The band stopped playing and Axl asked the guy if he wants him to leave. Even though Axl was visibly angry, they restarted the song. After Live And Let Die, Axl was still angry and stormed off the stage during Robin's solo. Sill the same during Richards solo. Just before November Rain he said ''Guess it's what you call one of those nights''.

But you can clearly see that he's handling things differently nowadays. Just a few years back and he would have stopped the whole show after such an incident. Ok, it seems they
cut the set short a little bit, but played until the end. The second show in Brisbane will take place tomorrow.

During the Illusion tour in St. Louis. During Rocket Queen, Axl told security to take the camera off a guy in the front row. Security didnt. Axl dived into the crowd, started swinging, grabbed the camera then climbed back up onto the stage.

Axl proceded to smash the camera then said ''Thanks to the lame-ass security, I'm going home'' slams the mic down and storms off.

Less then ten minutes later their is a full blown riot!

Think he's learnt anything?

Eh, no. If he had learnt anything, he wouldn't have showed up for the paying fans so late in the first place.

Maybe yes, maybe no.

I get the feeling with this guy that his reaction could be entirely different depending on which day of the week it is and what mood he's in that day.

Best reaction I ever saw to crowd abuse was watching Queen in 1986 at Wembley Stadium (before some of you were born). Inxs were one of the support acts and somebody didn't like them and threw an apple straight at Michael Hutchence.

It was flying straight at his face, but he caught it at the last second, took a bite out of it then threw it straight back to where it had come from.

The crowd cheered and then started liking the group!
