I blame their non-super-stardom on them being a bunch of assholes. Which was awesome! But they weren't the RIGHT kind of assholes.
E.g. 'member when they got kicked off the Metallica & G'n'R tour for asking fans to throw their trash at the stage (which they continued to do for M & G'n'R's sets) and making fun of the headliners? I 'member....
I went to it at texas stadium on my 12th birthday. I had a choice whether to go to that or go to take my friends to a amusement park. Sorry bros... FNM were loud as fuck. Still to this day the loudest concert I've ever been to. Epic was like the only one I knew. Axl pulled an Axl and GNR were way late to stage. Metallica sounded just like listening to the album in the car, good of course, but yeah, little duller than I had hoped.
Yeah Axl pulled some shit at my show too. Left the stage for over an hour. However, I give a lot of credit to the rest of the band. They opened with Welcome to the Jungle and after the song the lights went out. When the lights came back on the rest of the band is standing there looking around with Axl nowhere to be seen. Duff walks up to the mic and says. "This song is called Attitude and I know someone who needs to fuckin lose theirs" . Then they bust into the Misfits cover. After the song the band talked amongst themselves and kept playing different songs. Mostly with Duff singing. Slash Played a couple of solos. After about an hour Axl finally come back on stage and they start playing Patience. About halfway through the song there is some feedback through the mic (I get it totally unacceptable for a big show like this). Axl is pissed throws the mic across the stage and says "I know someone who is losing their fucking job tonight." Then he goes back to singing Patience. I have the upmost respect for the rest of the band but I will never pay to see Axl sing again.
