Guns 'N' Stupidity


Today's edition of Blabbermouth.Net has a story about security banning the wearing of top hats and Slash t-shirts at the recent Winnipeg, Manitoba concert by the band currently calling itself "Guns N' Roses."

When interviewed by TMZ.com, band representative Fernand Lebels denied that fans attending the show were asked to remove top hats and turn their Slash t-shirts inside out prior to the band's appearance at the MTS Centre.

Wearing a topper to a rock show is not a very good idea to begin with, unless your given name is Saul Hudson. However, this is the latest act of idiocy from Axl and his band of hired "Guns." There is no word yet on whether The Man Who Beat Up Tommy Hilfiger will be able to book a tour here in the United States.

What's next? A ban on Buckethead-style KFC buckets and masks? An order to smash all copies of Slash's It's Five O'Clock Somewhere, Izzy's excellent Ju Ju Hounds albums and Gilby Clarke's rockin' Pawn Shop Guitars? Please note that all of these solo albums are a hell of a lot better than Chinese Democracy.

Oh by the way, Axl, where's my Dr. Pepper?
