Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Gossip Section

An organiser for 'Live Aid II' has told Splat that Axl Rose has been approached to appear at the worldwide charity event scheduled for July 2005. All the greatest bands and band members have been approached, according to one organiser. However, the organiser told Splat that they are yet to receive a reply from the elusive Mr Rose.
We approached Axl's management about the invitation, and they were unable to confirm or deny whether Axl would be taking up the invitition. It is also unclear as to whether Axl Rose would be appearing solo or as part of Guns n'roses.

Naaaaa... Forget it!

not appealing? :P

well, its never gonna happend.. Just like any other superbowl rumour! bla bla bla

no chance...
We will not see gnr this year

no chance...
We will not see gnr this year

Is Live Aid II just planned for overseas...or are they going to do the States and Overseas like they did before?  Is Bob Geldolf involved in this one also?

Yes, bo G is and a few american bands are taking part.

It's a HUGE event, and i know many people who are going already.

If axl has warmed up his voice ( la las everyday for 1 hour  ;)) and is confident about himself, he should accept and do OLDIES.

I know it may be annoying, but even robbie  williams may do " we will rock you" or something like that.

The crowd ( and what a crowd this will be) loves songs they can sing along to or dance to, so GNR classics would be just it.

Gossip Section + Splat =? ::)

 :smoking: Izzy? :smoking:

hell no !  me wants new  songs  :rant:

You ain't the masses  :rant:

hell no ! me wants new songs :rant:

You ain't the masses :rant:

yes he is.

Makes perfect sense to me.  GN'R seem to lend themselves to noble causes pretty easily, and the timing seems to fit.

yeah, I can confirm that.

Ok, woody, doashk and Hillel, maybe he is, but i am allowed to have an opinion, so as i always say, do what you bloody want, but don't come crying..
 :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

It's going to be in Philly and Bob G. is doing it.

and how do you use the 'flash' tag?

It really is a pointless thread since we have no information on the substance of the discussions that are going on between GN'R's management and the show organizers.

Yes we would like to see Axl at the show but the rest of it is just blind speculation at this point.

cum on honey you can get a blow job if you cum to philly !
the best ever '

There should be some news about the concert today...

really? it's cool. 8)

Sir Bob Geldof has announced the line-up for his Live 8 concerts - the sequel to Live Aid - and the Spice Girls are definitely not playing.
But details are still being finalised for the five concerts - and Victoria Beckham's spokesman said "a number of conversations had taken place and are continuing to take place about the Spice Girls".

Free, simultaneous concerts will be held in London's Hyde Park, Berlin, Paris, Philadelphia and Rome on Saturday 2 July with a text lottery to win tickets.

It's expected that the show will be seen by around 250,000 people, with about half in the arena, and half watching via big screens elsewhere in Hyde Park.

One of the aims is to raise awareness of Make Poverty History, a campaign to get the richest nations to cancel debt, increase aid and fairer trade rules for developing countries.

The concert coincides with the G8 summit in Gleneagles, Perthshire, and there will also be a rally in Edinburgh on 2 July.

this is a good chance for axl to give a free show in philly, while generating money for whoever the hell this money goes to. a total win win.

but there's no chance of it actually happening.

I don't know... I have read a while ago that Bob Geldof denied that there?s gonna be a Live Aid? II this year ...
Is now confirmed ??

It's not being called Live Aid II, it's being called Live 8

The line-up, according to Billboard:

Axelle Red will be appearing in Paris.? I think some people are mistaking Axelle Red for Axl Rose.? (Granted, Axl certainly may have been approached about making an appearance.)

The only surprise you're going to see at this concert is the one night reunion of the Spice Girls!

I guess GN'R/Axl definately won't be playing at London now that VR are taking part (which is great news for VR and fans), maybe one of the other dates tho. I doubt it.

 Yo everyone,
  It's been a while since I've been on a message board,so this is nice to get back into the mix instead of just reading everything.

We held the original Live Aid along with London,back in '85 when I was a wee pup. Knew about it,watched on T.V. some of it but,waaay to young to go see it.
BTW,there's no money being solicited for at this event. Last time they raised about 80 mil but,now they just want people to show up and be a number for the stats to show the G-8 they are serious about forgiving Africa's debt.
 
 That being said,if Axl were smart,he would join this line-up and do it in Philly.

 2 reasons:
 
 1) He owes Philly. We got screwed in December of '02. I know. I was there. On the floor. 2nd row. Punched out some A-hole who started to kick my stuff when we realized that something bad was afoot . Anyway.....

He should come back,say he messed up - sorry for the nonsense-blah,blah,blah,and let's move on with it.
 Philly would completely embrace him again and.......

 2) He would be seen by an estimated BILLION people worldwide. How's THAT for jumpstart for an album/comeback!!
 This would make the VMA's look like a quiet poetry hour. I mean,the response would be remarkable!

They stated yesterday,I heard the press conference here in Philly live,that many bands are still e-mailing him (Bob Geldof) and he is trying to make a way to fit everyone somewhere. He said he got about 140 e-mails from bands over the weekend as word spread like wildfire.
 
 I'm sure something got sent Axl's way. Personally,I think we got kind of a weak line-up so far,compared to the other cities.
A GNR return would SO elevate us beyond all others! Remember,Philly is the only U.S. city that is being asked to participate,so if it's gonna happen with Axl,it'll happen here.

  Let's hope he seizes on this opportunity!!!!!

If he doesn't do it,he STILL owes Philly. Even Tommy said so a couple months back. YOU owe us dude!!
I say do a free parking lot concert to kick off your album,like Metallica did back in '97 here in Philly. People came from EVERYWHERE to see this.
 A GNR show would top that easily.

  Well,that's my first post since being on that grated Romano cheese bored,I mean,board.

 GNR FOREVER!!
