Axl Rose explains late showings at gigs
Axl Rose Axl Rose has explained why Guns N Roses became notorious for appearing late, sometimes very late, at their live shows.
The singer told VH1's That Metal show that the habit originated on the band's 1991 tour.
He said: "I should have not agreed to do that tour, but didn't know how to get out of it after it was booked.
"I only went on tour for three reasons. My manager had booked a tour without authorization, but 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 Slash pushing me.
"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."
Guns N Roses are currently touring the US and Rose said he's happy with the band's current status.
"I feel great with the line-up and the chemistry and stuff. I feel the right people helped make [Chinese Democracy] and the right people are playing that want to be here."
Released in 2008, Chinese Democracy was the first Guns N Roses album released in 15 years and there are rumours that a new album could be on the horizon.
Bassist Tommy Stinson recently told the Dallas Observer: "I tell you right now that I certainly hope we do another album. I would love to get everyone back into the studio and make some more stuff happen. I think we have a good band, and each of us has something interesting to offer."
