Without Slash forget the amazing guitar solos/riffs such as in Sweet Child and November Rain. The original GNR line up created the music they are famous for, that is different with the NLE, who have always mostly been a touring band.

My thoughts exactly. Out of 14.000 people there you can be guaranteed that at least thousands would be relying on other means of transport.

Is there good parking near the O2 Dublin that you know of? Doubt they have space for 5000 cars. Not every venue is easily accessible with a car. Like with Meat Loaf in Wembley in London in Dec, I won't be driving. Meat finishing beyond midnight there and then would be bad for people trying to get home who are not staying in nearby hotels and lots of people know that (promoters / venue staff and Meat himself). If Wembley underground station was closed at the time the concert is finished there would be chaos.
Someone mentioned the lateness/carryon at the festivals at the weekend they played. Indeed if that hadn't happened this probably wouldn't have been such a big deal but with GNR already getting bad press and then yet again showing up late as if they don't give is shit is a bitter pill for people to swallow who had probably all bought their tickets before the previous incidents. At least that's the way I would have looked at it, rather than using it is as a template to think they will probably be starting when we need to think about leaving.
