"During the opening song at our recent Buenos Aires concert, Axl's in-ear monitor pack had only the percussion in his ears versus his entire mix. The issue was fixed by our tech team by the third song, and we had a great night. The situation had nothing to do with Isaac Carpenter's playing, who is top notch and a great drummer."
"As we previously reported, Rose appeared visibly frustrated at the beginning of the band's concert this past Saturday, October 18th. He was seen angrily throwing his mic into Carpenter's drum kit during the opening song "Welcome to the Jungle," storming off the stage, and walking up the riser and kicking the bass drum. The visuals led some fans to believe that Rose was upset with Carpenter, but as GN'R point out, that was not the case at all."
Axl Rose experienced a visible backstage frustration during the opening of the Guns N' Roses concert in Buenos Aires on October 18, throwing his mic into Isaac Carpenter's drum kit, leaving the stage momentarily, and kicking the bass drum. The band clarified on Instagram Stories that the incident occurred because Rose's in-ear monitor pack carried only percussion rather than his full mix, and that the tech team fixed the issue by the third song. The band emphasized that the incident had nothing to do with Carpenter's playing, praising him as a top-notch drummer. Concerts have proceeded smoothly since Slash and Duff McKagan rejoined in 2016. The Latin American tour continues through November 8 in Mexico City, and the band may be preparing material for a long-awaited new album.
