No Booze - No Show

Guns 'N' Roses cancelled a show in Portland, Maine when state officials told them they couldn't drink onstage. The show has several pyrotechnics involved and the fire marshall's office told them they couldn't have alcohol onstage. The show was to take place on Monday.

The band's spokeswhore said that the fire marshall's office was making it very difficult for them and they had no choice.

Axl Rose said, "It was important for us to play there and it is a shame that what should have been a great night for all of us was not possible due to the actions of two people,"said Rose, referring to the fire marshals. "I agree with, and ultimately take responsibility for, the end decision not to jeopardize the safety of the fans, the crews, the bands and myself as a result of the methods of these particularly draconian authorities. We hope to find another way to play for you in the future."

I can't say I blame them. I would need a lot of booze in order to sing the same song for the one billionth time. I have a question though? Couldn't they have just cut the fireplay and keep the booze? Damn, Axl is fug.
