In a stunning development, Axl Rose caused controversy on the cusp of a new tour, this time fighting with Los Angeles paparazzi. Rose released a statement saying he was approached by a bunch of "unchecked and unruly photographers...." The singer apparently still made the flight in order to perform the first show in Taipei, Taiwan slated for tonight while the other non-original members arrived days prior. A YouTube clip (quickly deleted later) showed the band playing "Live And Let Die," during a sound-check at the Taipei venue.
Hopefully, Axl still makes the show in time to perform four hours late as he's been accustomed to doing the past decade. The band will finally be touring behind Chinese Democracy, an album 15 years in the making which resulted in the mind-altering album cover of a hobo's limousine with a lovely straw basket on the back of it. Why the bicycle is chained yet the basket looks free for the taking is beyond me.
