Axl Rose Honors the Greats





Not only did the band dedicate their Toronto show last Thursday night to the Catcher in the Rye author J.D. Salinger, but their front man paid homage to another legendary rock band, before even getting the show started.
That night, the audience ended up waiting an extra two hours for the show to begin. When the band finally did hit the stage, Axl Rose was being wheeled out in a wheelchair, looking awful. But before the audience had time to get too concerned for the aging rocker, Axl lept from the chair and went into the the title song off of the Guns N' Roses new album.
Kurt Cobain pulled a similar stunt back in 1992 with Nirvana at Britain's Reading Festival.
Personally, we would have been missed if someone made us wait two hours for that lame prank, but perhaps Guns N' Roses fans are more forgiving.
