DENVER — Twitter was abuzz Friday morning with disappointed Madonna fans after they say Madonna showed up to her Denver concert Thursday night over two hours late and opened with a song about murder.
As if that weren’t enough, fans say she came on stage in a crowded Pepsi Center with fake guns and pretended to shoot the audience in a city where many wounds are still fresh following the Aurora theater tragedy in late July.
Denver radio personality Peter Burns was at the show and first to break the news that the pop signer was over an hour late on his Twitter account.

Once she showed up, Madonna did manage to please some fans. Twitter user Katie Kristine appeared to be in that group.

Madonna is singing "Open Your Heart" and I feel like she's apologizing for being two hours and 45 minutes late. #iloveher #Madge.

Other fans like Hollie Houghtaling, who went so far as to call the show “Satanic,” were less than impressed.

So Madonna came to Denver and pretended to shoot off a bunch of guns at the people at the concert. Wise move in Colorado.
DENVER — Some Colorado fans are upset after music superstar Madonna used guns during a performance.
Madonna started her show Thursday night at the Pepsi Center in Denver with a gun scene, which she has used in previous performances.
According to KUSA-TV (http://tinyurl.com/8kr7gdq ), the station received several calls Friday from concert-goers saying they were offended she used guns and violence as part of her show in light of recent events in the state that included a mass shooting at a theater during a Batman movie on July 20 that left 12 people dead.
In a statement before beginning the tour, Madonna said she does not condone the use of guns. She said she is using the guns as symbols of intolerance and “the pain I have felt from having my heart broken.”

But she's not late, everybody knows her show starts 10:30pm and ends 12:15am.
Only UAE doesn't know.
I was bored so I checked the accounts... 1 Million Moms where at her concert and few fake twitter accounts.
At least UAE tries every time.
