GUNS N' ROSES: London Gig Leaves Fans Stranded

June 8, 2006

According to Virgin.net, GUNS N' ROSES made a controversial return to the U.K. stage on Wednesday night (June 7) — leaving many fans stranded in London after their set ran drastically late.

The group arrived on stage over an hour late for their comeback show at London's Hammersmith Apollo and the gig did not finish until 1:00 a.m. — long after the trains had stopped running.

Many furious fans, who had booed for half-an-hour before the band hit the stage, were left without a way of getting home or were forced to leave before the end of the group's 130-minute show.

Singer Axl Rose unveiled a new seven-piece line-up and played four songs from forthcoming album "Chinese Democracy" in a set that was littered with costume changes and expensive pyrotechnics.

But the biggest cheers were saved for hits such as "Welcome To The Jungle", "Sweet Child O' Mine", "November Rain" and "Paradise City", which, ironically for the stranded fans, features the line "Won't you please take me home?"
