| Axl's Ass Boy | PHILADELPHIA -- A no-show by the rock band Guns N' Roses in south Philadelphia Friday night led fans at the First Union Center to get rowdy. Police were called in to take care of the rioting crowd of 20,000 after the opening band played and the featured act never appeared. The lead singer, Axl Rose called in sick and the crowd hit the ceiling, literally. "Yeah, it was scary. Guys behind us were throwing ceiling tile at us. We were soaked with soda," said Kristen Spiezio of New Castle, Del. Concert growers said that the crowd grew unruly after the opening acts played for two hours. Then, when fans saw them packing up and leaving, they went berserk. "From around 9:30 To 11:30, nothing came on, no announcements. People were throwing drinks," explained Bruce Lewis of Newark, Del. "People were throwing chairs, throwing beer and hitting people in the head with, like, all kinds of stuff. It just got really, really crazy," said Teressa Mele of Marlton, N.J. It took more than 100 police officers to restore order. No one was arrested, but several people were taken to the hospital. First Union Center officials denied that there was any trouble and the organization even allowed media cameras access during the cleanup to prove fans left in an orderly fashion. Guns N' Roses has a reported history of canceling concerts and riots. Last month in Vancouver, police used pepper spray when thousands of fans rioted for an hour after Axl Rose failed to show due to a delayed flight. "They charge outrageous prices, get everybody's hopes up. We haven't seen these guys for years. Of course we're going to be mad," Spiezio said. There have also been riots at other Guns N' Roses concerts in St. Louis and Montreal. First Union Center officials said that concert goers in Philadelphia can get a refund at their place of purchase. A second concert scheduled for Sunday has also been canceled. - Sun, 8 Dec 2002 4:08pm | ||
