The Eagles of Death Metal have been unceremoniously dumped from Guns N Roses American tour.
The band, who were supporting the rock'n'roll titans on a jaunt across the country, had finished a set at Cleveland's Quicken Loans Arena when Axl Rose appeared on stage.
Looking to arouse a crowd apparently nonplussed with TEODM's non-GNRness, Axl punned, witty: "So how'd you like the Pigeons Of Shit Metal? Don't worry, that's the last show they're playing with us."
The Eagles were reserved at first, issuing this 'comical' statement via their website:
"At first the audience refused to welcome us to the jungle, but by the time we took our final bow, it had become paradise city. Although Axl tried to November rain on our parade, no sweet child o' mine can derail the EODM night train. We say live and let die."
Lol?
But later, speaking to NME.com, Eagles leader Jesse "The Devil" Hughes let it all rip.
"Axl Rose is fucking out of his mind," raged Hughes. "He wasn't even there when we played. He got there about 30 minutes after we got done playing. He waltzed on to the stage and went nuts."
After a 'mutiny' among his band, many of whom count The Eagles of Death Metal as friends, Axl apparently apologised and asked the shunned rockers to return to the tour.
But Hughes remained defiant: "When my manager told me that, I just said, 'You can tell that motherfucker to go and fuck himself because I will never go through that again'."
Axl Rose
Proves once more that he's a prima donna cunt.
Does anyone actually care about him any more, beyond these occasional very amusing news items?
prima donna kebab
hehehe's a wankstain. the human equivilant of the day old kebab you find in your flat and eat cold for agorophic tendencies make a supermarket trip impossible.
IS THAT HIM
In the pic,the fat ali g impersonater,please say its not true
I actually think the EODM statement
was quite amusing
GNR = Wank
Axl Rose = Cunt.
nah
the original GNR were ace. but this new line-up? GNR they ain't - and, Mr Kharas, rock n roll titans they ain't either as they're effectively a new group. they're really no better than a covers band. velvet revolver are more guns n roses than axl's bunch of cronies. although buckethead's a good addition.
but even as a GNR fan, i agree that axl's a twat. always has been.
keep up mate
bucket head has been sacked,guitarist number 67 is being lined up
Eagles Caught Fibbing
So much for taking the high road. I just lost SO much respect for Eagles of Death Metal. You expect Axl to be an arse. What's worse, that Tommy Stinson story has been exposed as a lie and a lot of message boards are talking about it. Tommy tossed his bass later in the show because he was pissed at the sound guy - it had nothing to do with the Eagles. It was mentioned in a number of reviews before this NME story was published. Good job lying to the press there guys. That killed any interest I had in you.
yeah but...
who cares? they make better music than GnR. end of.
...
agreed.
Of course
Axl's a twat - talk about stating the obvious. He was a twat in 1988. A lot of frontmen are and Stinson is always throwing tantrems, probably because he found out the Axl Rose Band's manager is referring to him as 'crew' in press releases.
LOLLERCAUST
