Axl should be every metalheads wet dream, has broken all the rules and continues to do so, doesn't answer to anyone and works on his on schedule. But no, in a bizarre twist, it turns out that metallers really love the rules, and prefer their heroes to stick to them, especially when it concerns concert start and finish times so they can get home early to say their prayers and get into bed at a reasonable hour.

The life and soul has well and truely been sucked out of the concert experience. Every piece of information must be known prior to attending a gig these days, leaving absolutely no element of surprise. Look at any gig post for confirmation of this, you will find questions such as;

What time does the gig start at?
What time's the gig over at?
What songs are all the bands playing?
What is the exact start/finish time for each band that's playing?
What merch will be available at the gig?
Are tickets available for the gig at the door?
What amount of time is allocated to changeover between each band?

That's why I think Axl is a hero and I think I'll head to this one for the unpredicability factor.

People have lives outside of gigs,work, college, wives, girlfriends, families etc.

People need to know when exactly bands are on and off stage sometimes so that they can see it doesnt conflict with work or family commitments, doesnt make you any less of a devoted metal fan.

For example i was working the day of the steelwing gig, with H posting up the set times i knew exactly when i had to arrive to see the bands i wanted to see so i was able to manage my work around that and then head home and sort out my family stuff in time without missing the bands.

Will getting the original line up back together make Axle not a cunt?

nope, he's a cunt for life
