Axl and Crew Ditch

And what else is new? Honestly. This time, the cause was an argument over state law in Maine forbidding alcoholic consumption on stage. Seems like the excuses for this band not to play always seem to be mounting. Kind of like the supposed release of Chinese Democracy.

Axl and company reportedly wanted to drink beer and wine during the performance. On Tuesday, the day after the canceled show, Axl himself posted a message online that reads, "I would like to apologize to all of the fans in Maine for the show not happening last night. It was important for us to play there and it is a shame that what should have been a great night for all of us was not possible due to the actions of two people [the fire marshals]. I agree with, and ultimately take responsibility for, the end decision not to jeopardize the safety of the fans, the crews, the bands and myself as a result of the methods of these particularly draconian authorities."

I don't know Axl, somehow I feel the fans won't forgive you for this one. Contrary to what you said, however, a great night was not possible because you always have some sort of problem with performing. Get over yourself already.
