Written by Elliott Batte
Guns N Roses frontman Axl Rose has claimed that Slash is to blame for the band’s bad reputation for being late to shows, as well as accusing his management.
The rock legend, who spoke in an interview for a documentary that’ll hit screens soon, is often late for gigs and is known to leave fans waiting for hours, but has now told fans that it was his managers fault as well as blaming his top-hat-wearing ex-band member Slash for the band turning up late on stage.
“I only went on tour for three reasons: my manager had booked a tour without authorization… then, I'm gonna be sued for it. He was also telling me if Slash dies of heroin, or whatever, it's my fault. And [lastly] Slash pushing me. I should have not agreed to do that tour, but didn't know how to get out of it.
“Not complaining, or to be a wuss or whatever, just a lot of times, day of show for some reason, everything starts going wrong. People are making mistakes… you’re making mistakes, and nobody even knows why.”
