The history behind Axl Rose’s hate towards the Gateway City goes way back. It started when Rose was accused of instigating a riot after going after a fan with a camera during a July 1991 concert at Riverport Ampitheater in St.Louis. The concert ended when Rose broke his mic and called the show early. After the incident, the liner notes in the next two albums, Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II, both had some very choice words for St. Louis. Also, Rose was wearing a t-shirt in the “Don’t Cry” video that says “St. Louis Sucks”.
