Guns ‘N Roses frontman Axl Rose has a reputation for being notoriously late for gigs. At least one of those late showings was reportedly due to the fact Axl was watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze. According to the Tampa Bay DJ who passed along the story, he was witness to an argument concerning the band’s December 1991 show in Tampa. Axl was fully aware he was supposed to be on stage but was 100% dialed in to the movie and couldn’t be bothered.
In fairness, “Secret of the Ooze” is a great flick, almost can’t fault him for that… almost.
