For what it’s worth, Axl Rose is basically the poster child for diva musicians. There are entire AV companies that specifically refuse to work with GnR because Axl is such a renowned asshole in the music industry. Basically every person who has met him for longer than 15 seconds has some sort of horror story. He’s basically the reason the “musician trashes hotel room” stereotype exists. He has like 30 or 40 arrests on record, largely for asshole behavior like drunkenly grabbing women in public, throwing things at people, etc… But the record label treats him like a golden child because the band still draws crowds.
Guns and Roses pulled that shit on me on '91. Couldn’t even tell what song Axle was on he was so fucking wasted. And the acoustics were awful.
We were tripping acid and got turned around on the road trip to OKC, missed some opening band called Smashing Pumpkins.

OK that’s just bullshit. Bands have been trashing hotel rooms since the 70’s. The Who were the most famous for this.
Heh. Sweet summer child.
Keith Richards and the Rolling Stones, Keith Moon and the Who, and Led Zeppelin would all like a word.
Good on you the smashing pumpkins aren’t all that good
