Iceberg Radio reports that a Guns N'Roses fan was furious upon finding out that the band wouldn't take the stage until after 11 p.m. last Monday (November 20th) in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. According to the Chronicle Herald, fan Mary McDonald was disappointed in the news, explaining, "I'm in a wheelchair and if Axl Rose doesn't go on stage until 11, we probably won't get out of there until around 1 a.m. I have no way home because Access-A-Bus doesn't pick up its clients after 11:30 p.m...I feel I was misled by the promoters and as a ticket buyer I'm more than upset. We should have been told he goes on at such a late time."
The evening began at 8 p.m. with the first of three opening acts. McDonald was concerned and called the venue box office to find out what time the headliners would be appearing.
McDonald said she was forced to cancel her ticket after she was unable to find an alternate means of getting home after midnight.
Of course, late shows are nothing new for Guns N'Roses. The band's tendency to keep audiences waiting for up to two hours stretches back to its first tours. The most recent jaunt has found the band taking the stage as late as midnight in some cases and not getting off the stage until 2 a.m.
