9) You’ll Need a Little Patience for a Guns N’ Roses Concert: Axl Rose

The lead singer of Guns N’ Roses has been a controversial figure for a number of years. He is notorious for being late to concer56ts and also storming off the stage. The band’s last album, “Chinese Democracy” took almost 15 years to complete. Even his friends and bandmates have tired of the star’s erratic behavior. In 2012, after the band was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — a ceremony that Axl failed to attend — Steven Adler, the band’s drummer stated, “I’m done with him. I’m never mentioning him or talking about him again.”

Unfortunately, over the years, Axl’s unpredictable behavior has actually led to riots. In 1992, for example, fans rioted after Axl stormed off of the stage, ending the band’s performance. And in 2002, fans in Vancouver rioted when a concert was canceled because Axl was in an airplane, still far from the venue. Fans in Philly also rioted that year. In 2010, when Guns N’ Roses hit the stage for the Reading Festival in England, Axl frequently left the stage in the middle of songs, before finally throwing down his microphone and storming off the stage for good. And at the Leeds Festival, which occurred simultaneously, Rose only played one song before ending his portion of the concert.
