#621 Re: Guns N' Roses » Reunited GUNS N' ROSES To Play New T-Mobile Arena In Las Vegas » 563 weeks ago
I want to be at the very first one. I already got fucked once this year by guns. Please don't burn me twice.
In fairness, i'm pretty sure Coachella hyped that more so than GN'R, and Eddie Trunk, as well as others, said there were rumors of warm up dates before Coachella went on sale if my memory serves me.
GN'R didn't burn you. You took a leap of faith. I completely understand that you want to be at the first one. That's gonna be a big moment. And I truly hope it happens for you. But I think you need to keep your sights set on, i'm paying to see "Axl, Slash & Duff together" and don't get too bogged down on Izzy or others.

People flocking in droves to see GNR will not want to see any rap act even if its NWA and include me in those droves.
Let me get this straight... your stoner ass will go to an MIA show, first row.... but Dr. Dre/Ice Cube, and more than likely Snoop Dogg replacing Eazy -- opening a reunited GN'R show, and you're gonna be crushin' Vikes in the parking lot, dragging your ass to go in?
What is wrong with you? You better have your ass in there bustah!
An NWA/GN'R ticket, despite the weird-cross breeding, would sell gangbusters to a younger audience, despite the age of both groups being the same. I think an NWA/GN'R bill would EASILY fill stadiums in 2016. NWA might be the GN'R of rap, in terms of name-recognition.
#623 Re: Guns N' Roses » Looks like rehearsals have started! » 563 weeks ago
Very interesting point. This would help explain the way it went from a massive hype initially to virtual silence. They are unsure themselves on how far to take this.
I don't think they are unsure. For the promo arrangement to be the way it is with Axl/Slash/Duff, other business dealings were done. This is a done deal. Slash & Duff are back in -- all the way
But I think this might be a case of "no news is bad news". GNR's camp is "no news is good news", so maybe all is well, but I do wonder if something as simple as bringing back Slash to replace DJ/Ron, and Duff to replace Tommy, was blown up to all of this "Appetite lineup or fuck off" type stuff, and they right now are letting everyone in the industry get into a bidding war for a summer tour, wait for the contracts to be signed (just like Coachella), get their money guaranteed, and then all of the sudden drop the bombshell after all the dates are guaranteed that Izzy, Steven & Matt aren't returning in any form, and that the band, firm, is Axl, Slash, Richard, Duff, Frank, Dizzy & Chris. Period.
#624 Re: Guns N' Roses » Steven Tyler says that he has been working on the return of GN'R » 563 weeks ago
Wasn't this the same Steven Tyler that was on the CMA's not long ago, claiming "country was the new rock"?
If Luke Bryant & Zac Brown Band (sorry Chris Cornell) are the new rock, then rock is fucking dead. D-E-A-D -- DEAD. Shoot it in the fucking head, because I don't want it. Carrie Underwood wanting her Bucket List duet to be Axl Rose -- that's fine too. As long as it's a ROCK SONG. A GN'R song. Axl & Carrie on some Jon Bon Jovi/Jennifer Nettles bullshit, "There's Nothing Like Home" or whatever that gay ass song was... ugh... no thanks.
The only people keeping rock alive in country are the Jamey Johnson's & Shooter Jennings' types, hell even Bocephus/Merle/Willie, that are doing the outlaw thing, and have been completely ostracized by the business.

Do we get some AFD 5 at Las Vegas... Gun to your head, what do you say? I say "yes"... I think 3 songs. maybe....
It's not happening bro.
If there's any chance at even an Izzy appearance, it's gonna happen Night 2 at Coachella.
These are still technically supposed to be "warm up gigs" at this T-Mobile Arena in Vegas. I'm thinking if there are any surprises to be had, it's gonna be at Coachella which ALL the media are going to be there covering the shit out of the festival, and YouTube are going to be there broadcasting the entire event. That's when they'll pull that card.
To me, cockteasing the AFD 5 for a few songs on Night 2, leaves a nice tingle for the audience, post-orgasm, in order to sell/promote a potential stadium tour for the summer. Izzy & Steven won't be returning full-time, but it certainly would boost GNR's price, and make festival organizers as well as a tour promoter realize there's a potential the original band might show up from time to time. You never know from night to night what show you're gonna get, ala the UYI tour.
#626 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R Twitter Updates » 563 weeks ago
They posted a video hyping the Vegas shows. Only Axl, Slash/Duff are anywhere in sight.
Not even gonna lie.... I was FULL-HARD after watching that video.
Damn this is all so surreal.
#627 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R Twitter Updates » 563 weeks ago
I don't get the NIN reference, considering Reznor runs just a one man show.
If anything, it's similar to Alice In Chains re-launch, making it clear coming out of the ashes that AIC "the band" is Jerry/Sean/Mike Inez. Even DuVall is kind of an additional musician, even on the newer studio albums, other than like a song or two, most of DuVall's contributions has just been some rhythm guitar, with the other three, still being the main band.
Never thought i'd see the day GN'R (or AIC for that matter), were seen as a "trio" like Nirvana. Irony.
And me too... I don't have a problem with it at all.
#628 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Story Of Guns N' Roses' To Air On BBC FOUR In U.K. » 563 weeks ago
Again... the usual suspects, like Slash, Steven & Matt. Slash apparently enjoys telling the story, so Axl should let him, and thus the re-branding.
But then again, what happens, now that Slash is back in the band, when Slash does a doc like this, and it's even remotely critical of King Rose, and Slash tells his story as an official member of GN'R?
Wonder how that dynamic would work. Then again i'm sure there's some sense of a game plan, now that Axl/Slash/Duff are all equally the brand of GN'R again.
#629 Re: Guns N' Roses » RIP Axl Roses Ex-Guitarist :( » 563 weeks ago
Listen, Axl's vocals/lyrics are HIS art, just like Kevin's guitar parts were his. Axl wants/wanted control over the distribution of his own art, just like any of the rest of us would. They just wound up on different sides, and Axl's always had a habit of burying whatever doesn't pass his personal bar of excellence.
Regardless, RIP Kevin. 51 is very young. Damn shame.

My favorite Felder tune of all time (including Eagles)
This riff is all-time classic fucking rock. Felder never sounded better.
