Axl Rose has claimed Guns N’ Roses were not late for their slots at Reading and Leeds Festivals.

Since hitting the stage late on both days and then getting the plug pulled at curfew times he’s gone to war with organisers.
 
His latest messages on Twitter say: “Our start times at the Reading And Leeds Festivals factually had nothing to do with us as the previous bands came offstage when they did and we went on within our contracted and documented changeover time period," he wrote this afternoon (August 31).

Axl continued: "If you are aware of our changeover time, the average length of our show and the general nature of how these types of festivals run all of which are no big secrets... why book us?"

“Is it [booking the band] simply because the lineup on our nights at both festivals sold well?" he wrote. "So it's a cash grab with no respect for the fans or the band and somehow an unwanted inconvenience for the cities and law enforcement.”

 
For their part organisers have said they were not able to extend the curfews at the festivals. And said they’d be happy to have the band back.
 
We can’t see that happening!
