Rock legends Guns N’ Roses recently kicked off a Latin American tour, but things got off to a bit of a shaky start during last Saturday’s gig in Buenos Aires. During the band’s opening song “Welcome To The Jungle, singer Axl Rose was less than pleased, possibly with the band’s new drummer Isaac Carpenter but more likely over sound issues.
Fan-filmed footage shows Rose kicking Carpenter’s bass drum twice. Shortly after that he fast-balled his microphone into the kit, ripped off his leather jacket and told the crowd, “So, I’ll just try and wing this!”
The band recently made headlines when guitarist Slash hinted that a long-awaited new album might be in the works. “Everybody is thinking about it,” he told Guitar World. “There’s so much material at this point – it’s a matter of having the discipline to sit down and f*cking get into it. But the thing with Guns is, in my experience, you can never plan ahead. You can never sit down and go, ‘We’re going to take this time, and we’re going to do this.’ Every time we’ve done that, it falls apart.”
