Axl Rose Storms Off Stage after Flying Bottle Incident

9/2/2010 9:58 AM PDT by TMZ Staff

Axl Rose shut down a live concert in Ireland last night to yell at the crowd after multiple people fired bottles onto the stage during their performance ... and it was all caught on tape.



Rose -- who literally called for his band to stop playing their instruments during their first song "Welcome to the Jungle" -- warned the crowd that he would pack up his stuff and leave if they kept up the shenanigans.

Of course, the crowd started to boo ... and Rose eventually walked off stage.

We're told the crowd was pissed because the band started their show more than 90 minutes behind schedule.

Eventually -- after several concert officials apologized to crowd -- Rose and company came back on the stage and finished the show.

90 minutes late, not good....but on the other hand, flying bottles aren't either. I actually don't blame him for stopping, it's hard to sing when there are missles flying past the head.

4. Axl will make huge gestures of goodwill and courtesy, but is incapable of doing the small things.
Like, he let Izzy and Duff sing songs on Use Your Illusion when, as the popular lead singer, he didn't really have to. He once saved his neighbor's Malibu home from a raging wildfire with a garden hose. These are grand gestures that indicate he likes to do things for others.

On the other hand, he not only goes on late or no-shows, he doesn't seem to understand why fans would have a problem with it. Those everyday courtesies of showing up for things on time and being respectful of others are things that we all do every day, but Axl totally ignores them. It's just weird that he eschews the little things in favor of the large.
