Guns N Roses cancelled a concert in Portland, Maine this week after being told that state law would forbid them from drinking alcohol on stage.
Angry ticket holders wanting to see the band were told: Use Your Illusion.
Axl Rose said if he had wanted to stay sober, he'd have finished "Chinese Democracy" within eight years.
The ban on boozing by performers isn't the only self-defeating law in Maine. In restaurants, diners are prohibited from eating lobsters.
When Kevin Federline learned of the cancellation, he announced: "I'll fill in. I'll play in Maine... where is that?"
The band released a statement on its website: "Playing a show without drinking is as ridiculous as touring without Slash."
Axl Rose added: "We apologize to fans, but it would have been the bleakest November night since the recording of 'November Rain.'
