Guns N’ Roses have issued a statement addressing rumors following technical difficulties at their recent show in Argentina.

The rock band is currently on tour in South America. During their concert on October 18 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Axl Rose faced technical issues with his in-ear monitor, which affected his ability to hear the complete sound mix.

Footage emerged online showing the singer kicking Isaac Carpenter’s bass drum and later throwing his microphone at it, leading to speculation about potential drama between Rose and the drummer.

Guns N’ Roses have now released a statement clarifying the technical issue and confirming that Rose was not upset with Carpenter during the performance. Read it below.

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.

What Happened at Guns N’ Roses’ Argentina Concert?

A compilation of clips from the Argentina show was uploaded to social media over the weekend that showed Rose kicking Carpenter’s drum and later throwing his microphone at it before walking off the stage.

Another video has since been shared online adding more context to the original footage. Rose informed the crowd that he was experiencing hearing difficulties due to his in-ear monitor, stating, “[It’s] not Carpenter’s fault but his drums are running over my head like a bulldozer.”

“He doesn’t really seem to be too impressed with Isaac either,” someone commented on a post in the Guns N’ Roses Reddit page.

“Hopefully it was just a technical thing and there wasn’t some sort of drummer drama that he’s taking out on Isaac,” another fan wrote on the same post.

“He explained the issue to the crowd when he came back and was smiling and laughing about it,” someone else acknowledged. “This is not the same Axl having meltdowns as we saw in the ’90s but he is still passionate and wants to deliver the best performance possible; the mix was getting in the way of that and he got annoyed by it.”
