Most Shocking Concert Moments: Axl Rose of GNR Beats Up a Fan




DATE: July 2, 1991

WHAT WENT DOWN: Axl Rose is a man who takes matters into his own hands. That didn't bode well for a camera-happy fan at Guns N' Roses' 1991 St. Louis show. After noticing the camera, Axl stopped singing to ask security to remove the shutterbug. When the guards didn't respond quickly enough, Axl jumped into the audience to handle the situation himself. After exchanging blows with the fan, Axl stormed offstage, sparking an arena-wide riot for which he was later arrested (the charges were eventually dismissed).
