Chilly Reception (III): Axl Rose's Big F-U |

It's been a rough couple of weeks for Guns N' Roses's frontman Axl Rose.
 Less than two weeks after getting publicly punched out by preppy fashion prince Tommy Hilfiger in a New York club, he had to drag his ass to Budapest. Or perhaps we should say a show this morning in Budapest, because Rose was apparently so uninterested in playing that he didn't manage to make it onto the stage of the Budapest Sportarena until right around midnight, two-and-a-half hours after opening act Sex Action had left the stage. According to a report earlier today on index.hu, the police were called in to monitor the crowd, which was told at around 10:00 p.m. that the show had been delayed because of an unspecified "technical problem." But according to our own well-placed source, the "technical problem" was that Rose was coked out of his already gak-addled mind.
Another problem was that the band apparently didn't even leave for Budapest from Milan until 7:00 p.m., and thus did not arrive at the arena until well after it was already packed with fans. While many fans were killing time waiting in long lines for beer - or to get refunds - Rose and his crew were killing time backstage, getting massages and otherwise fucking around.
As for the show, it was apparently pretty good, though the reception from the audience was noticeably subdued - "like a film premiere," as our source put it. "There wasn't much moshing." That said, there were few boos from the crowd, which included champion skanky politician Tamás Deutsch. And even if anyone was pissed off enough to take Hilfiger-style retribution on Rose, they wouldn't have had much of a chance: barely an hour after leaving the stage, the band was already back on their jet.
