'After the cancellation, a band spokesperson blamed fire marshals for "making it impossible for the band to perform their show to the usual high standards that their fans deserve."'

hahahahahahaha

This happened in Maine, so I blame frostingspoon.

Yeah, I've had it in for Axl ever since "Patience." Fucking whistle fuck.

haha

I've got a funny anecdote about that song, but it's soooooooooo inside, it's really only funny to me and the guys I delivered pizza with (almost) 20 years ago.

Maine Fire Marshalls are more than a match for a group of alcoholic aging rockers, by the way.

You'd think after the Great White fiasco more bands would be less stupid. But that'd be expecting rock stars to not be stupid.

Also in response to the forthcoming question "what does Jagermeister have to do with fire codes?"

Drunk Axl + pyrotechnics = Very Bad Idea

"Alex says: No Ass, No Grass, No Pass"

That is, until Tommy Stinson summons Zombie Bob Stinson to exact vengeance on those same fire marshals.

ok, that's it. one of the visual artists on this board is now compelled to do a series on zombie bob stinson.
like zombie bob stinson riding a bike, or zombie bob stinson trying to buy a pack of newports, or zombie bob stinson trying to order at a french restaurant.

Is Buckethead's bucket flame retardant?

This has catswilleatyou written all over it. I'd have suggested CP, but ZBS doesn't have nipple teeth.

jesus, what is Maine still in the dark ages? what kind of law is that?

Axl should just pop across the border and start chuggin' Moosehead and screaming out 'Rocket Queen'.

It wasn't so much about them drinking on stage as about drinking on stage in proximity to specific pyrotechnics.

Plus Axl probably tried his "Do you know who I fucking AM?????" routine with some Officer Clarence Hubie or other which would have lead to a "So a body thinks he's high and mighty, does he? We'll clip your wings mite quick there, sonny bub."

Maine/New Hampshire/Vermont lawmen aren't too big on superstar tantrums.

I must admit that I like drinking on stage, and I break the Austin anti-smoking ordinance quite often while playing here in town.

It's funny because stand up comedians performing in Maine drink through their sets all the time. And club DJs always drink. The law seems to be selectively applied to rock concerts. I guess the marshalls just didn't like Axl.

those rockers just can't be trusted with the booze.

I might seem just a little too drunk
but I ain't naive

You guys have to remember, Maine is the state that banned AC/DC from every playing in the Civic Center again because their music was too loud. Not doing something like this would be unlike Maine, eh? (Sorry, my Maine accent is a little different than spoon's)

It's not my accent. It's my wife's family's accent from downstate. I don't sound the least bit Maine-uh.

I sound like William Petersen attempting Harry Shearer.

Axl should have ditched the pyro.

What a prima donna punk ass bitch.

Drinking onstage won't help Axl with his battle of the bulge.
