Seemed like a good idea at the time: ten career disasters

From bad concept albums to rubbish solo bids - who's messed up the most?

 

  • Guns N' Roses: The band has, over the years, provided their fans with somewhat painful viewing. One of the band's most memorable blunders was their set at Leeds Festival in 2010. As per usual Axl Rose arrived considerably late, met by a chorus of boos from the crowd. At the end of the band's performance, he left the stage shouting to the crowd: 'Be safe, good night and fuck you'. Rock and roll or rock and rude?
