Asked by a GN'R fan how he could disrespect Rose in such a way, Taylor says on The Opie Show (via Blabbermouth): "Knowing Axl, it's quite easy, my friend. Anybody who makes his fans wait for two to three hours for him to go on stage, I have no respect for."

He then said, "I love Guns N' Roses, dude. I love 'Appetite [For Destruction]'; I think that's a fantastic album. But when you make your fans wait that long - and I don't give a f*** what hard-on just said: 'Oh, we expect it.' Well, you're a f***ing idiot then. All right? Figure it the f*** out."
