NME have an interesting story regarding Guns N’ Roses‘ current UK Tour. Apparently the Guns N’ Roses camp have instructed security on the trek to refuse entry to anyone wearing merchandise by former band guitarist Slash. The publication have some quotes from both security and summarily disrobed concertgoers from last nights (May 31st) show in London, England.
This band can do no wrong in my book...ever.

I saw him with strapping young lad just before the new black came out. I was close so I watched him. I marveled at how...

BSF is one of those bands where the records have never been able to match their live intensity. Not that their records still aren't damn...

I get more and more stoked on these guys each time I hear them. Their Deathwish Live Series release was awesome. I think this release...

Stay classy, Axl.
Thats a very rare example of pettiness at an absolutely. psychotic and narcissistic level. Hard to believe this actually went from Axl’s damaged brain to an enforced policy. Think of the chain of yes men this has to travel. Jesus.
I’m pretty sure this sort of thing has been going on for a few years now.
Let the guy do what ever he wants, he’s just a spoiled brat who just wants everything his way. It’s his problem that he’ll go in the books as the most hated person in Rock n’ Roll.
^ this…very spoiled
Axl, please just go home and pass away
actually his policy is not too bad, I actually require one to wear a Buckethead t-shirt in order to use my bathroom facilities… its been going quite smooth with little to no complaints…
Guns N Roses? They mean Axl Rose cause I really doubt Bumblefoot sat there and said: “yeah, fuck that guy. we should have to sell his shit cause he ain’t in GnR anymore”.
sorry *shouldn’t have to sell lol
Petty bullshit.
Just another reason i could care less about the new guns n roses
“You know what’ll show Slash? When people come to my show wearing one of his we’re going to make them throw the shirts away, meaning they’ll just have to go home and buy brand new Slash shirts!”
Sucks if it’s a tour shirt, though.
That situation has to be pretty bad if you’d rather see a shirtless 40 year old Slash fan instead of an image of Slash on a shirt.
still one of the greatest frontmen who ever lived
Bullshit.
For a very, very brief window in time. Sadly, that was 20 years ago.
I hope this policy was disclosed at the time of ticket purchase. Otherwise, I’d be pretty pissed about it.
