Guns N' Roses fire warning shot to Irish fans before return
Will Guns N' Roses be welcomed back to the 'Jungle'? Well, the band has decided they've big enough cojones to come back to Ireland for another gig after their shambolic gig here in September 2010.
The band will try to play a full gig in the O2 this time, rather than take hours to come on stage, sing a bit of 'Welcome to the Jungle' and then sulk off stage. The band were booed off stage last time under a fire of bottles from a royally p*ssed off Irish crowd.
Axl Rose caused the controversy at the last gig, turning up late and failing epically with his customer relations skills and giving the crowd and ultimatum. The cocky lead singer told the crowd: "Here's the deal, one more bottle, we go home. We want to stay. If you don't want to have fun just let us know. We'll be on our way."
Let's hope they manage to sing more than five songs this time. Tickets for the glorious return gig start at €65.45 including booking fee will go on sale on Friday, February 3rd.
