Here Today... Gone To Hell!

YOU THINK AXL COULD BE FEATURED IN A COMMERCIAL.  A MASTERCARD COMMERCIAL?

A SONY 32" TV:  $599.99
30 PACK OF BEER:  $19.99
200 BUFFALO WINGS:  $49.95
SEEING A COMMERCIAL FOR THE LONG AWAITED GUNS N' ROSES ALBUM ON THAT NEW TV WHILE DRINKING WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND WATCHING THE SUPERBOWL:  PRICELESS

THERE ARE SOME THINGS MONEY CAN BUY.  FOR EVERYTHING ELSE THERE'S MASTERCARD.

No, but Axl Rose will deliver your pizza.

 :rofl: I think you're on to something!  ;D

Stop typing in all caps.  It's in the rules.

Hey, what's with the attitude ADZ.  You've been doing it all over this site lately. 

He's right. Typing in all caps is considering as shouting.

In his defense... only geeks would know this. So if nothing else, consider yourself not a geek by not knowing this... no need to apologize.

Only geeks and people who read the rules (like AdZ explained).? ::)



On Topic:? ? I love that Mastercard commercial with Payton Manning.? Too bad that the Indianapolis Colts didn't make it to the Superbowl this year because your Mastercard commercial idea would've have like an extra "inside" meaning to us GNR fans since Axl's from Indiana and the Superbowl is on Axl's birthday this year.

Excellent!!! :D  :D  :D : ok:  : ok:  and after that a blinking screen with a date......Sorry....only adream...but a perfect one :'( :'(

Isn't that the same?

I'm sorry but this is common knowledge to anyone who's been on the web for over a month.
But if you want to call me a geek I don't have a problem with that.

Its also common knowledge that there will be no Guns n Roses concert at half time.....

it would be cool if he sung with paul, i'm also a geek... like nikki sixx?

Axl: "hello everyone. i finally have some good news for my loyal fans"
random fan: "Chinese Democracy is finally coming out?"
Axl: "no.. i just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to geico"

This is 2004,not 1994.Nobody besides us would be interested in seeing that.

 ???
 :-[
One of thoses days

No kidding.  They couldnt even sell out shows on their last US tour.  I dont think anyone would ask them, and band that features only one original GNR member, to do a halftime superbowl show.  Coming to this board and loving GNR as much as we do, we fail to realize that most people dont care about them, have never heard of Chinese Democracy, and wouldnt even know who the hell was playing music if they started playing at the Superbowl.

axl as the pizzaguy? :rofl: he served donuts at msg, could it be?? :nervous:?
 

Actually, it's 2005.

Stop living in the past, man...

i like all those commercial ideads but how about this one


Random announcer:  Finally, guns n roses new album has been released, Chinese Democracy Starts Now
(person walks in the room and corrects the announcer)
Excuse me, the album has been pushed back, bucketheadjoined then quit again
(person walks back in)
Excuse me GNR has a replacement, Chinese Democracy Starts Now!!!!!
(person comes back in)
Excuse me, richard fortus has quit, chinese democracyis on hold
(person comes back in) 
Excuseme, richard didnt actually quit, Chinese Democracy Now
(person walks back in)
Excuse me, robin finck and brain has quit
(person comes back)
Fuck it, now i understand the suffering of those poor gunners, sitting around in 14 years of silence, imgunna go join heretoday gone to hell forum

I had a crazy dream that Axl and the boys played at the Superbowl.  Madagascar was the song and when the whole sample thing happened in the song, the MLK "I have a dream, free at last" part didnt play.  It ended on a stained glass picture of Jesus.  The place was going crazy and the new band member was there playing too.  Thought Id just share that with you all since theres speculation about them playing this Sunday.   8)

Your dream this night and superbowl on 6th... Coincidence ?  :hihi:

Maybe this is a sign. :hihi:

Great to see that this kind of information is all we have relating to GN'R these days. People's dreams. Yawn.

There will be no surprise appearence from GNR on Superbowl Sunday. The NFL is under fire for last year and they are sure to be conservitave this year. And GNR is not conservitive which is a good thing. I would not rule out a commercial though especially with the new publishing deal.

While I don't see GNR throwing down $2.4 million for a 30 second advertisement during the Super Bowl...or a live performance due to the NFL's experience last year with Janet Jackson...I DO think tomorrow, Monday, January 31st, would be a PERFECT time for an announcement done in press release form giving new info.  WHY?  Because by the time Super Bowl Sunday comes around, word will have spread, and since the Super Bowl is a huge party event, you can multiply the buzz exponentially.  I sure hope Uncle Axl is thinking like I am! ;)

just a rumor so no one get fired up or anything but over at the paul mccartney boards he is rumored to be closing with "live and let die"

so just take that as a rumor


i wasnt gonna post that cause we know axl isnt gonna perform but if he does close with it, it kind of makes u wonder.

can u imagine axl's 30 second screams like he did on the 2002 tour?
everyone would be in awe!

Super Bowl will be first time in history transmitted to China.

no, i'm not gonna look to deep into this............

oh well, f#ck it :D CHINESE democracy  :o

Although I don't believe Axl will be performing Sunday, I can't say I won't be watching the half time show just in case.

I will say that I find it a bit strange that Paul McCartney is billed as playing solo (meaning without additional acts within his performance). If you look at the history of the SuperBowl half time shows ( http://www.superbowl.com/features/entertainment/halftime-honorroll ), very few in the past two decades have featured only one act. This doesn't mean to say that AXL WILL be an unannounced guest performer, but it seems rational that there might very possibly be some kind of surprise during the performance.

As far as the whole "conservative" issue goes...I'm sure the NFL (maybe someone else) collects a nice chunk of change from those who produce the half time shows (Radio City, Disney, MTV, etc.) and I'm sure they don't want to all of a sudden go soft and turn the half time show back into a boring piece of trash (notice I say 'boring' as it's still a piece of trash even when it's exciting) that nobody wants to produce anymore. And if the rumor of Live N' Let Die ending the set is true, I don't see how bringing Axl on as a guest for one song would be concidered much of a gamble. He is certainly not (really never was) the 'out of control' rock star (sans a few minor riots lol) in terms of not playing ball with a live television event (it's Slash and Duff you need to look out for with that).

All in all, I think this topic is fun, but as cool of an idea as it is, I really don't think it's gonna happen.  :'(

Perhaps there's something BIGGER up their sleaves...and if not, hey...the Grammy's are on in two weeks  :hihi:

Mygnrforum:

This is a rumour from Paul McCartney's official message board:

Looks like he's ending with "live and let die".....they're doing a local spot about the superbowl right now, and they said Paul was rehearsing. They could hear (didn't say what he was playing), but they saw the fireworks at the end.

McCartney's set is 12 minutes and is the only scheduled perfomer...

No theres more people confirmed,Gretchen Wilson,Tim Mcgraw and more i belive

That's the pregame show.

McCartney is the only scheduled Half Time performer.

oh great, gretchen wilson...now there's a flash in the pan...i hardly even know of her because she sings country and country is only marketable in certain parts of the country...time mcgraw...yeee hawww

I can't understand why they would put someone so specialized in a niche on such a spot light.

"Super Bowl will be first time in history transmitted to China."

The Superbowl was broadcast nationally last year in the PRC.   : ok:

Hasnt Axl written a tribute song for John Lennon  ;D

CITR ? Haha... would be great but forget it!!  :hihi: :rofl: :yes:

I was watching a little bit of Fox News earlier and the anchor at the moment was talking about the halftime show and it went to a conference with McCartney. He was asked what songs he was planning on performing, but didn't name anything. He just said he was going to take the band out and "rock," and that he didn't want to spoil any surprises. :-\

***HELP***

what time would the half time show be on (Central time) and what station carries it?
PLEASE HELP ME!

Every person that has once chatted in his life (with mirc for example) knows that. It's not that secret thing. I knew that, no I didn't read any f.a.q. but I was kicked out once from a chat for that reason.  :P

Anyway, superbowl will be aired from MTV or VH1 perhaps?

it should be on fox and/or cbs.. its on at 6:30pm eastern.. dunno about central

its on fox 6:30 eastern 5:30 central 4:30 mountain 3:30 pacific

halftime show should come on around 8:15 eastern or 7:15 central

turn it on about 7 central and watch the last of the 2nd quarter! : ok:

Well, atleast there is one positive thing about this rumor.  There is nothing that suggests that GNR will definately not be there.   

Now I'm sad for Paul... according to the thread about Motley Crue posted here, "just rocking" is apparently a bad thing.

Anyhow, from PMC's message boards, the news is:

*************
SUPER BOWL SET LIST SPOILER!!!!

Paul rehearsed "Drive My Car," "Get Back," "Live and Let Die" and "Hey Jude." McCartney still may surprise fans on Sunday with his final set list. The band is playing live. No lip-synching! No tape delay.

Paul will wear a red shirt, black jeans and a black jacket (which he will remove after "Get Back"). "Live and Let Die" will be loaded with fireworks and special effects.

Macca (Paul) has been flying in and out of the Jacksonville airport to a house he rented on the ocean.
*************
Seeing as GnR's version has tons of fireworks too, I would love to see a duet.

Then, at the end, Axl's says, "Round Two", throws the mic, accidentally hitting Terrell Owens on the ankle, rendering him useless for the 2nd half, where the Patriots regain the lead and win their third Superbowl in four years.  Thanks a lot, Axl.

You've got one thing right, Patriots will win. Axl showing up that's wishful thing, I like it..

Thanks for that info, Beefy.

Unfortunately, now there is http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/02/04/tv.superbowlhalftime.ap/index.html

According to CNN, McCartney will be "the only halftime performer." Perhaps it's smoke, but I highly doubt it. It's not going to happen.? :'(

do u guys really belive Axl will be there???? He wont, u are just gonna let yourself down agian!  :rant:

I guess we'll have a new thread about another possible Axl/GN'R appearance on Monday?


The only surprise appearance that actually happened was the 2002 VMAs and we knew about that in advance.

Axl appearing with Gilby, visiting a club or getting arrested weren't televised so I didn't include those....


/jarmo

I joined this site after the 2002 act.  How did you guys no about what was going on?

  I don't remember anything official about it, but there was ALOT of speculation. Then again, there's ALOT of speculation about every major musical event.

Hello guys, i found this interesting and you dont mentioned it here. I'm from Venezuela, and reading a sports paper this morning ive found that MTV 2 will be relaunched tomorrow airing the Superbowl or maybe the halftime really i dont know and dont have the time to make a search for it, so lets hope something good happens for us there...

Meanwhile, the morning of the MTV Video Music Awards on Thursday (Aug. 29) had all the industry abuzz over the rumored GNR show-closing performance. A source tells us that the band was given a full eight minutes to do their thing ? we'll soon see!


That was posted at CDNOW.com on the day of the VMAs. Back then, CDNOW used to have a music news section.


Also, at the pre-show Pink mentioned Buckethead and Axl.




/jarmo

Yeah, I remember the whole Pink thing, but that was the day of.

Anyhow,  the only reason why I'm thinking GNR might play with McCartney is the fact that no GNR members are busy on Superbowl Sunday, and Paul said that Live and Let Die will be filled with fireworks, and special effects.  This plays right in the hands of GNR.  On their last your, Live and Let Die was filled with special effects, and explosions.  I don't think I have ever seen McCartney perform Live and Let Die with special effects and explosions.

With that said, I still think it will be a long shot to see Axl there, and I'm not getting my hopes up, but I will be watching for it. 

Ｉ bet they?re all watching Superbowl too. Maybe we can spot them in the crowd.

He did at the 2004 Glastonbury Festival.  In fact, it was part of a fireworks / special effects sequence, which also included Helter Skelter and The End.  Not that this changes anything.

Oh   :-\

And when I saw him at Earls Court in 2004, and he used fireworks on a US tour a few years back. : ok:

They had a TV broadcast in the UK of one of his shows, and Sir Paul introduced LALD by saying something about the song being more popular than ever and he was going to try and cover that version. :hihi:

A duet of McCartney and Axl would suck.  They don't have voices that would sound good together and they don't sing that song the same way.  It would be as bad as Elton John and Axl singing Bohemian Rhapsody (man that was god-aweful).

Axl will not be singing a duet with Paul tomorrow.  It doesn't make much sense for him to do something as an individual at this point.  He needs to do something with his band members (I mean hired musicians   ::) ).

If axl dosnt show up and peform at the superbowl i will be pissed and I will give up on chinese democracy ever coming out. We all should just give up on gnr.

Hey, ive been lurking around for a while, never really intended on posting, but at around 330 in the afternoon i was driving and listening to 105.5 DHA which is a station out of new jersey. At the end of some song that i never heard before the DJ said to the best of my recollection "guns n roses covering (at which point i thought i was insane cuz there was no way that the song just played was a cover by gnr...and then he goes on and says...)the half time entertainment tomorrow, im sure slash wont be throwing a superbowl party for axl any time soon"  This is pretty much the direct quote, that was the end of it. I know im a newbie and all and im about to get flamed left and right, but like i said, i dont care, the only reason i posted is because ive been looking for some more news about this for the last couple of hours and saw nothing online....flame away.

thanks, we'll see, it's not impossible that it happens

That just sounds like a segue to me.  You know, mention the super bowl halftime, and tie it together with GNR by commenting that Axl and Slash don't like one another, and hence, won't be partying together.

But I hope I'm wrong.  Paul McCartney isn't much of a halftime show by himself.

No, we shouldn't. But feel free to give up. :wave:

Do you promise to stop posting when you give up on it? Thanks.

if axl was thar i'd loss my $|$ cuz i'd spit my wings allover @the nudie bar watchun the BOWL!!@!

i think it can happun!@!

God awful -  ???   are you out of you your fucking mind ??  this was a great performance that had the fans going insane

This what im thinking to Paul bye him self wouldnt be that great really(imo)there got to be somthing else cooking i think? ??? I'm just hoping for the best? :peace: :smoking:

I just don't get it (being from the UK) - what's Paul McCartney doing singing at a Super Bowl(?)

Has he got a new album coming out(?) because if he has not, all he can do is sing some old song(?)
If this is the case, is Paul McCartney the best they could come up with(?)

Certain irony in that post about McCartney appearing if he doesn't have a new album to promote, seeing as the last time Axl released an album either Hayleys comet or a blue moon appeared. As for only having an old song to sing " Welcome to the Jungle" wasn't exactly a newbie at the VMA's

todays the day that if CD is cumin out in April we will know about it 2nite on the superbowl. If all the rumours dont cum tru and ther isnt an advert or performance or something then im willing to bet that CD wont be here in April. But we all know how unpredictable Axl can be  :)

You shouldn`t be pissed of, because nobody said that they will show up. There are just some people saying that it would be great if they`d show up. I think it was also great if they`d release Chinese Democracy tomorrow... : ok:

And give up if you want to, I`ll not.

As I said before Ithink it`s not really a rumour, but more a wish that Axl will show up tomorrow.

well, I think it was a kick ass performance.

Yeah, that would be awful.  Just bring Britney back!  : ok: :hihi:

They wanna play it safe this year lol,,No wardrobe malfunctions lol..No but i hope hes there, it would be awsome

Hu ?

I'm afraid there's gonna be a lot of disappointed guns fans watching the halftime show tonight.  :no: 

 :-\

No worries. GN?R fans are not that frail anymore. Mighty Hearties. :headbanger:

please everyone do me a favor

no axl bashing when he isnt at the superbowl

he never said it, never confirmed it

so dont have high expectations tonight

if it were to happen it would be the greatest thing ever but im not betting on it


can u imagine however axl's LALD screams? holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all those naysayers who say he cant sing anymore would shit their pants!!

over 90 million people reportedly watch the superbowl worldwide

that would be some damn good exposure

Sound like a plan D . I can't wait

 :peace:

I always thought that smiley was someone crossing their fingers, not peace signs, but over here I've been doing the finger crossing and whoever said we're not that frail anymore is right. We'll get through this, ha.

Ya i dougth he will be there, however it would be very cleaver, and they are at the point of releasing  a date, but i dont think he will do it that way, im not sure how he will announce it?

To any one in the U.S.A! Has there been any rumours on your television or radio throughout the day as to whether this actually may happen tonight???? I am not expecting anything but its kinda like the VMA's in 02, we heard the rumour in the U.K and me and other Guns fans were thinking yeh right! But it happened!! So I've kind of got this hope thing going on for tonight! It will also be my first game of watching your funny football! Is the game any good???

I think the only reason why they wouldn't have announced the gig is that they think he's not gonna show up. I'd say the chances of such a suprise gig are 1 in a million, even less... but we'll see in a couple of hours.

He's probably at home watching the SB and doing this: ?:beer: ? :smoking: ? :yes:

 :peace:

Surely.  Again I bet Axl won?t be there to perform. To watch, I thought of their being there as even odds but the spread of this story shorten the odds now.

Whether we win or lose, we have fun and games. :peace:

Im hoping theres a commercial for it or something  : ok:  I think theres a better chance of that then GNR actually performing.

StoneTempleRoses

I agree - I am hoping for an announcement or advert with release date (this is highly improbable I realise).

There is no way Axl or guns will be performing - a nice idea but absurd for many reasons

I haven't heard anything except what I've read on this board.?
There probably is a better chance of a commercial, but I really don't think so.? Superbowl commercials are very very expensive.? I can't believe they would drop that much money on one advertisement.? But the commercials are usually entertaining anyway, so no harm in watching if you've got nothing else to do.

How long after the superbowl is over before we start speculating about the Grammys??

naa, i dont belive it! I guess the only thing that "might happen" is a CD announcement, but i dont really belive that will happen. Sorry!

why wait til it's over!!!!!!! anyone thing gnr will play at the grammys?  j/k

I think 900 million is more like it...  : ok:  Reportedly 145m in US alone.

Now how's that for esxposure?  ;)

900 m ? Impossible,  not even the NBA gets that kind of ratings, and nobody really likes the super bowl outside the USA, Maybe they are broadcasting, but nobody's watching  ;D

the superbowl always gets huge ratings. Its a much bigger event than any nba game

144.4m in US last year, potential 1 billion worldwide this year: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/7916472

I can name at least 50 nba players, I can't even name one NFL player.
I don't know about the US, but the NBA is bigger worldwide.

so, when is this thing starting and how long untill the half-time show ?  :peace:

No Guns N Roses?

http://www.superbowl.com/gamecenter/live/NFL_20050206_NE@PHI

The NFL is the biggest of the major sports

their games get huge ratings

the NBA barely draws a 1.1

the NFL gets almost double digits

ratings wise, way more people watch the super bowl than any other event.

also the NBA market their players whereas the NFL is a league based on teams and not individuals

i was hoping for this to happen but its 2 mins left  in the 2nd quarter and doesnt look like gnr's gonna happen. lol

huh, i guess the "knocking on the door" comment wasnt really a hit for GNR!! huhu  :hihi:  :rofl:

 :smoking: the Superbowl isn't a great place to play than MTV Music Awards, Rock in Rio or the Caracas Pop Festival in Venezuela ...the Superbowl is just a place where Axl doesn't care about!!!! only stupid rock stars agree to play there to get some money...N'Sync played with Aerosmith in 2001 , hell!, those guys needed money to survive really ?:hihi:

Is the Super Bowl today?! Oh My God! It's a great game! Who remimber the Janet Jackson chests?? lol ?:hihi: :rofl: ;D

would Axl performance with her at there? yeah they guy would but if he'd lose his mind!!!  :rofl:

The NFL was never going to let someone like Axl anywhere near a stage......that's why they got someone safe like McCartney. Some of you are dillusional in the sense you convince yourselves these types of scenarios can really happen. The Super Bowl is the biggest sporting spectacle in America. GNR hasn't released a new album in over 10 years, they don't qualify as the type of act the NFL is looking for. I wish those of you who were holding out hope he would show up at the Super Bowl would realize how truly ridiculous the very thought of it is.

It's not that big of a deal; we're used to relying on mere speculations. If no one shows up, we'll move on to the next speculation. ::)

Well, i guess we get to know in a couple of minutes!  :-*

Jarmo, could you finally pull the plug on this guy?

Watching right now, making my poor friends watch it with me.

OMG HE PLAYED LIVE AND LET DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

would have been the perfect duo  >:(  and with the song before talking about getting "back to where you were" I almost thought it was going to happen :-[

Must admit, I thought it might happen for a second there ... should have known better.

HAHA! No Axl Rose there! haha  :rofl:

paul McCartney's LALD sucks balls

its amazing how much better GNR make cover songs

oh well, like anyone really expected it anyway

haha i got butterflies when they started LaLD. It really made me hope for a second.

Oh, well! :D Axl would have helped this snorefest, hands down. We're not the ones who should have known better; they are.

uhh? ur kiddin me?? People havent been talking about anything else the last months...

Sir Paul takes off his jacket to sing LALD....and he is wearing a Red shirt with the STAR. He had me for a couple of seconds

who thought axl was gonna come out when mccartney had that star on his shirt?  it was a similar star to the one stinson used to wear... i really thought it was happening!!

Perhaps it's just my personal bias, but I thought the version they just did actually sounded a bit influenced by the GNR cover when compared to McCartney's studio version.

echrisl, I thought so too! That's what made me think it just might happen a little more.

No GN'R appearance.

For those of you who want to keep talking about Paul McCartney, this isn't the section.

See you next year for another episode of "Will GN'R be at the Superbowl". ?;)
