Reading And Leeds 2010: Axl Rose And Co Will Perform Tonight

The word is that everyone in Leeds will be seeing Guns N'Roses tonight after all, you poor things.

Guns ‘n’ Roses As the last day of Reading and Leeds gets underway it appears that Guns n'Roses will be headlining Leeds after all despite Axl's protestations onstage at Reading to the contrary.

However, think it's all hugs and handshakes backstage? Think again. Dj Ashba (bloke with the hat, not Slash) posted the following rant online yesterday:

"Apparently the promoter has had a personal grudge with GN'R stemming from 8 years ago, if this was the case why book the band? He knows our show. Let me guess... To take our fans money and then not allow us to give them a show that they payed for. This was clearly not a curfew thing because after cutting our power like a selfish money grubbing prick, he allowed music blasting through out the venue till the early morning. For us this was all about the fans, the show and the music. For the promoter it was all about the money and not about the fans or the music.

The promoter was already being a cocky f$#k in the press before we arrived, so yes we went on a little late, and for this we apologies. However, our fans payed to see a show, and that's why we showed up, too give them just that. Sad that this promoter's music festival has little too do with the fans or the love for music. Last night was insane! They pulled the power, but failed to kill the connection as 90,000 people sang Paradise City. Much love to you all!!!"

Yep, that's right, he said the show was all out about the fans and the music. Unbelievable.
