Guns N' Roses - Slash T-Shirts Banned From London Show
It seems that apparently not only is Slash not welcome at any Guns N' Roses shows, but neither are Slash T-shirts.
According to British music magazine NME, a fan at GNR's May 31 concert at London's O2 Arena, who showed up a wearing a Slash T-shirt, was forced by security to remove his shirt at the door. The concertgoer, 18-year-old James Revell, grudgingly abided and entered the venue bare-chested.
When NME asked O2's security if there was in fact an official ban on Slash shirts, the answer was: "We were told by the management not to allow anyone into the O2 Arena who is wearing a Slash T-shirt, and we are asking anyone who is to remove it and if they refuse they will be turned away."
O2 security stated that this ban applied even to audience members sitting in the very back rows of the 20,000-capacity venue.
Said Revell: "I felt very angry because I was looking after my little brother at the time, and felt as though my freedom to wear what I want had been taken away from me. However, I did not react angrily, as I didn't want to spoil the show for him."
He added: "I have never experienced anything as insulting as that at a concert before and I had to sit there in my little brother's jumper (sweater) and wait for Axl to turn up well over an hour late, which we could only stay to watch three songs as we had to catch a train back. I think that Axl Rose doesn't appreciate his fans or anyone for that matter, he needs to grow up and stop acting like a child."
As well as this, the band has been criticised on their UK tour for their late starts.

Yeah, seriously fuck Axl Rose. The only thing he's good for anymore is to be the subject for gossip topics like this and give people like me somebody to bitch about.

Axl sure is a big giant douche, but then again when news like this come out, it's always time to ask yourself how much did the media itself have with the pumping of the story. Let's face it, news like this will be read and considering the Axl vs. Slash battle is nothing new, this piece of news started to bore me the minute I've heard of it. I mean, it probably is true, but is Axl being a di*k something new? Does this shock anyone? Nothing new to me.
