Guns N’ Roses Planning Tribute To Prince At Coachella This Weekend

Guns N’ Roses is going to make it rain purple on Weekend 2 of Coachella! The hard rocking band is planning a beautiful tribute to Prince during their set, as a source tells us EXCLUSIVELY! Could other bands be doing the same?
Coachella headliners Guns N’ Roses are going to take the time to do something extra special during their surely epic set on Weekend 2 of the music festival. Though they’ve got plenty of their own hits to smash through, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that the band is going to pay tribute to the late, great Prince at some point during their show! Click through for all the details!

Coachella Weekend 2 starts two days after Prince tragically died at the age of 57, on April 21. With the loss of the music legend still fresh and painful, it’s perfectly understandable that the purple one is on the minds of everyone at the music festival — including the guys from Guns N’ Roses. That’s why they want to pay tribute to their fellow ’80s rock star!

“Slash is planning to have his guitar solo [during the show] be a tribute to Prince, and GNR is looking to do most likely ‘Purple Rain’ as a tribute during Coachella this weekend,” the source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. Whoa! Prince and Guns N’ Roses are two acts that you wouldn’t expect to mesh well together, but we have total and utter faith that their take on “Purple Rain” would be so cool. Think about Axl Rose‘s voice!

Side note; yes it kick ass and some are going to be outraged that I suggest this, but if "You Shook Me All Night Long" wasn't on Back in Black would it be considered the most misogynistic mainstream rock album of all time?

I mean seriously listen to the lyrics of the songs between "Hells Bells" and "Back in Black" on it. It's completely over the top and fact that it's the 2nd best selling album off all time should have given GN'R a free pass with "It's So Easy" which is alot softer than "Honey What You Do For Money".

Listened to Back in Black for the first time in years tongue.

Definitely not going past the 7 free days on PS Now. Video quality starts crashing when you're actually doing stuff. Bioshock is hard to play on it, God of War is unplayable, only journey and sonic the hedehog weren't messes.

It might be worse at peak hours, but why use a service you can only play at 3AM. Bioshock wasn't that great then either.

Not sure how much coverage this is getting in the US, but...

London mayor under fire for remark about 'part-Kenyan' Barack Obama
Boris Johnson is accused of bad judgment after hitting back at US president’s intervention in EU referendum debate

The shadow chancellor has accused Boris Johnson of dog-whistle racism for writing an article in which the London mayor quoted claims that Barack Obama’s “part-Kenyan” heritage had driven him towards anti-British sentiment.

John McDonnell joined fellow Labour MPs Yvette Cooper and Chuka Umunna in questioning Johnson’s judgment in referring to the president’s ancestry in an article for the Sun newspaper.

“Mask slips again. Boris part-Kenyan Obama comment is yet another example of dog-whistle racism from senior Tories. He should withdraw it,” McDonnell tweeted.

Johnson, a high-profile figure in the campaign for Britain to leave the EU, wrote about the decision of the Obama administration to remove a bust of Britain’s wartime leader Winston Churchill from the Oval Office.

“Some said it was a snub to Britain. Some said it was a symbol of the part-Kenyan president’s ancestral dislike of the British empire – of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender,” said Johnson in an article designed to hit back at Obama after the US president waded into the EU referendum debate on Friday.

The mayor and Tory MP said Obama’s country would “not dream of embroiling itself” in anything similar to the EU, which he said was inching towards a federal superstate.

Cooper told the Guardian: “As ever, it’s more bad judgment from Boris Johnson. Is this really how a man who wants to be prime minister should be talking about the president of the United States?”

Umunna tweeted: “These Tory mayoral types are beyond the pale.” He said the Conservative mayoral candidate Zac Goldsmith had played on his opponent Sadiq Khan’s Muslim heritage, repeatedly attacking Khan for having shared a platform with a man who has been accused of extremist views.

Churchill’s grandson Nicholas Soames, a Conservative MP backing the remain campaign, called Johnson’s article “appalling” and said it was “inconceivable” that the wartime leader would not have welcomed Obama’s views.

He said Johnson was “unreliable and idle about the facts”, claiming there was still a Churchill bust inside the White House.

The prime minister’s spokeswoman said the decision to remove the Churchill bust was taken before Obama took office.

Bust story debunked

Ted Cruz, the Republican senator who is locked in a battle with Donald Trump to become their party’s nominee for the presidential election, made a similar claim last year, saying Obama was responsible for removing the bust. The claim was debunked by the Washington Post, which concluded after a detailed investigation that the bust had been returned to the British embassy in Washington before Obama took office.

Ukip leader Nigel Farage told the US president to “butt” out of intervening in the UK’s referendum on EU membership.

Attacking the president’s intervention in support of the ‘Remain’ side at the outset of a visit to the UK, Farage said said that he took Obama’s description of himself as a friend of the UK “with a pretty large pinch of salt.”

“Look, I know his family’s background. Kenya. Colonialism. There is clearly something going on there,” he added. “It’s just that you know people emerge from colonialism with different views of the Britsh. Some thought that they were really rather benign and rather good, and others saw them as foreign invaders. Obama’s family come from that second school of thought and it hasn’t quite left him yet.”

Obama made an emotional plea to the British public to “stick together” with the rest of the European Union as he arrived in the UK to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday. In an article for the Daily Telegraph, Obama argued that Britain’s influence in the world was magnified by its membership of the EU.

“As citizens of the United Kingdom take stock of their relationship with the EU, you should be proud that the EU has helped spread British values and practices – democracy, the rule of law, open markets – across the continent and to its periphery,” he wrote.

Johnson never would have made that comment about any US president had Obama not been in his final year/term.

Well this is the 2nd weekend, if he was going to show. This would be the night.

I know why people assumed it would have happened in LA, but lets be honest. Starting off a tour with a new line-up while introducing a former member to play a few songs, sends mixed messages when you're trying to set a tone.

#1716 Re: Guns N' Roses » 23/4/16 COACHELLA - Weekend 2 » 550 weeks ago

They're supposed to filming select gigs in 360 as well so you can see the lifeless crowd taking selfies with friends. I'm going to go out on the limb and assume that doesn't happen for Guns.

#1717 Re: The Sunset Strip » HBO's A Game of Thrones » 550 weeks ago

More than 1/2 the story-lines are from the books.

Season 1 was basically an adaption, 2/3 only minor changes.

Season 4 was mostly from the books, but with some bizarre changes (like Jon going to Crastor's keep), what Jamie/Tyrion say to each other after he helps him escape ect.

Season 5 was the first season with some major changes, despite doing the same plot arcs. Anyway we can talk about this after season 6 starts airing.

It was the first episode that leaked. It was supposedly on the HBO streaming service in Canada for an hour or so yesterday. Loads of people grabbed screen shots, it's not clear if anyone grabbed the full episode.

It's only a day to go anyway tongue.

#1718 Re: The Sunset Strip » HBO's A Game of Thrones » 550 weeks ago

It's leaked according to reddit, haven't seen it yet.

Have seen screen shots, prepare for more reader outrage.

They've killed off the Dorne Storyline literally.

"They're so much better with Slash back. I mean, Soul Monster, I heard the whole song was named after his solo. Cuz he's the soul monster, y'know?"

If the material is as good as or better than the Chinese material as alleged, people would be praising Slash's song writing ability tongue.

Quick bump, because people probably can't see this thread unless browsing this section.
