No.

Not just no, but hell no.

I'd rather go get a root canal and colonoscopy in the same day.

Fuck that asshole.
I walked out of a Jackson Browne concert last year after he started bitching about gun control and the Republicans. Not why I went.
And it hurt, no bigger Jackson fan than me in the 70-80s.

I have no interest in being around a bunch of hypocrite liberal fuckheads for any reason. I wouldn't go.

I feel the same way about Neil Young. I've recently committed to seeing him before he croaks, but I've heard that his concerts are filled with liberal crap. It's too bad that I love his music.

Fuck him. See if you can get a refund on your tickets and explain why. If you paid with charge card you could contest the charge as service was not described correctly as you didn't pay for political propaganda.

How could you possibly enjoy the show with lib fucks all around you howling with joy as the Trump bashing was going on. Would you pay to go to a DNC convention?

I would rather have another cystoscopy.

Since you already have the tickets I would say go. However wearing a MAGA hat might be unwise considering the violent left.

I wouldn't be torn. The guy openly supports anti-Israel groups and seems to be fine with violence against them in their own land.

Bugger off, Roger.

“Should I go?”



I absolutely cannot believe that that is a serious question from anyone who doesn’t totally agree with the sentiments expressed by that image. The regressive left has done everything possible to try to tar President Trump and his supporters with the “hate” brush, and yet something like that is considered by the same slanderers to be not only acceptable, but praiseworthy.

I used to participate in a local writing group’s activities and shortly after the election one of its members recited a poem decrying “hate.” Although not mentioned specifically, it was a clear reference to Trump and people like me who were appalled by the thought of what might have been. That was the last time I associated with that group.

“Should I go?” Truly?

Do you want to hear the music?

I am going to Guns and Roses in a few days.... From what I hear, Axel Rose gives a anti Trump tirade during the show..

This will be my one, and only most likely chance to see GnR in my life (since last time they were here, they started an honest to god riot....)

I'll go see them as they are my second favorite band ever... If he rants, then so what. I'll be goddamned if Axel Rose is going to influence my voting....

I'll see them rock out, and then dismiss his bullshit because he is Axel Rose, and a douchebag, but a douchebag with a good rock voice and can put on a good show (hopefully).

He will dance and sing like the little monkey I pay him to dance and sing like.... And I will enjoy it.

If he has a problem and wants to jump into the crowd again (to the 25th row where I'm sitting) he can try... I'll end the riot this time...

Otherwise, play the damn songs and shut up.

Going on an anti-Trump tirade once or twice during the show is one thing, but this prick seems to go way beyond that. His whole show seems to encapsulate that commie, ignorant crap. I've been to concerts where between songs the singer might throw some politics in that I disagree with, but once he's back on the music I can get back to enjoying myself. This is not that.

How could any free loving American even enjoy the music with that garbage all around him? It looks like it's a constant theme. Absolutely freakin' no way would I subject myself to that. No way. Jesus Christ, those images are infuriating me now just looking at them; I couldn't imagine actually being there what that would do to my mood.

I know that most actors and singers are liberals. I'm OK with that and usually am OK with just ignoring it and enjoying the performance. However, there are a few who go beyond that and are actively anti-American and work to destroy the country. Those very few, I refuse to support in any way. This guy appears to be one of those virulent nutjobs and I would never support him in any way. It's one thing to just disagree politically, it's another to actively work to tear down the country.

I would go, but be prepared to protest his fascist remarks/acts if he goes that far, complete with a MAGA t-shirt and/or hat. Otherwise, I would sell the tickets and donate the money to Trump 2020 in Waters' honor, then send him a card to let him know.

To hell with him and any other fascist entertainer that wants to pollute the air with their sick views.

I'd go for the music. I'm not voting for the guy.

You are definitely not voting for him, but you are funding that display, enlarging his platform, and amplifying his message by going.

Don't get me wrong, it is totally your right and your decision on whether to go and to decide whether or not it bothers you, but you cannot deny that by going you are funding and furthering his message.

Yes. Well said, as usual.

Screw him! Get your money back and spend your money on something that won't make you lose it in a crowd of intolerant leftists.

Wife wanted to go to a Katy Perry show and I said I'd rather smash my big toe with a 2# sledge hammer.

Another idea:

Find the smelliest, most decrepit, flithiest pair of Winos you can. Give them the tickets....and a cab ride to the venue.
