You'd think Axl Rose would have learned by now that his fans don't like it when he cancels Guns N' Roses gigs at the last minute or after playing a few songs.
But that's apparently not the case because GN'R canned a private show in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Saturday (March 13), prompting the band's fans to do what they usually do when the band cancel: riot.
The crowd waited until 3 a.m. to be told the band were not coming, according to the New York Post, and they weren't having it.
"The audience got angry and started to mount the stage, and fight and destroy everything," a witness told the newspaper. "It was wild. There were fights everywhere, on the dance floor, in the bathrooms, outside the club. Crazy. I guess the free drinks didn't help."
That's not the first time Guns N' Roses fans have rioted.
Rose left a 1991 gig in Maryland Heights, Mo. after confronting a fan with a video camera, prompting the crowd to riot. The next year, fans rioted in Montreal after Rose claimed he had a sore throat and left the stage at the city's Olympic Stadium.
You'd have to figure things would get a bit better after a riot in Sao Paulo, right? Nope. They didn't.
On Saturday (March 13) night, someone in the audience attempted to bottle Rose two minutes into GN'R's gig at Sao Paulo's Estadio Do Palmeiras a few hours earlier.
Of course, that prompted Rose to halt the show and call the person out in front of the entire stadium, according to Blabbermouth.
"Where's the little fuck over here?" Rose reportedly said, according to the website. "C'mon, coward. You wanna fuck up the show for everybody? 'Cause I've got no problem — I willleave. We will all leave. You wanna play games? You can fuck yourself or we can have some fun. You guys wanna have fun? Then I don't need no little fucking pussies like we had the other night at the club."
But then it got worse.
GN'R had to cancel yet another show on Sunday (March 14) night after their stage collapsed in Rio De Janeiro. It was originally reported someone died in the collapse, but Rose took to Twitter late Sunday night to say that wasn't the case.
"All injuries appear to be minor," he wrote.
"Initial reports are that our staging is for the most part ok but a more accurate assessment is being made.
"No word yet on if the show will be moved to tomorrow the 15th or another night."
Here's a video of the stage collapse that's surfaced online:
