Guns N' Roses Cancel Show

Sometimes it takes more than just a little patience to be a Guns N' Roses fan.
According to a press release issued by frontman Axl Rose, Guns N' Roses has pulled out of their May 30 headlining performance at the Rock in Rio festival in Lisbon.
Apparently, the blame for the cancellation rests with guitarist Buckethead, who departed the band without warning, according to Rose, the group's sole original member.
"The band has been put in an untenable position by guitarist Buckethead and his untimely departure," Rose said in a press release. "During his tenure with the band Buckethead has been inconsistent and erratic in both his behavior and commitment--despite being under contract--creating uncertainty and confusion and making it virtually impossible to move forward with recording, rehearsals and live plans with confidence."
The frustrated Rose went on to bash Buckethead at length in the wordy release, which earned the distinction of Worst Press Release of the Week from the blog Gawker.com.
Buckethead apparently made his solo aspirations a priority, which proved to be a thorn in Rose's side. The GNR frontman complained that Buckethead had used his position in the band and the anticipation of the long-awaited album Chinese Democracy to further his own career
"It appears his plans were to secure a recording contract with Sanctuary Records which I encouraged my management to make available to him, quit GNR and to use his involvement in the upcoming Guns release to immediately promote his individual efforts," Rose said.
"There is not a member of this camp that is not hurt, upset and ultimately disappointed. We as a whole definitely feel that we afforded Bucket every accommodation perhaps so much so that it may be that we, or more precisely, I may have done Guns a disservice and unintentionally allowed Guns to be put in this position."
Buckethead, who's never seen in public unmasked or without a KFC bucket over his head, will launch a solo tour Wednesday in Milwaukee, opening for the jam band Particle.
The cancellation in Lisbon is just another black mark on GNR's comeback struggles.
The Rock in Rio appearance was to be the band's first performance since their ill-fated 2002 comeback tour, which was canceled with 13 performances remaining.
Rose attempted to put a positive spin on the turn of events.
"In the meantime rather than dwelling on the negative, Guns will be moving forward, and surprisingly (without giving away any details) this unfortunate set of circumstances may have given us the opportunity to take our recording that one extra step further," Rose said in his release, adding that the band hoped to announce a release date for Chinese Democracy within a few months.
The band has not released any new material within the last decade.
However, Geffen Records issued GNR's Greatest Hits this week, despite Rose's attempt to have the record blocked through the courts.
