Here Today... Gone To Hell!

This is a HOAX and it's not gonna happen!


Downtown club snags Axl Rose

Honeytribe featuring Devon Allman - yes, that Allman family - is set to bring its own brand of sweet, abrasive, soulful, down home bluesy rock to 307 Downtown at 8 p.m. Monday. The show features special guest, local artist Jackson Scott.
Tickets are $10. But what could possibly make seeing Gregg Allman's son carry on the family tradition while cutting a new niche for himself in the music industry any sweeter? How about a chance to score tickets to a May 26 concert at 307 featuring Axl Rose performing Guns N' Roses hits before they go on sale May 6?

?
No, it's not a joke, according to Chad Fouquier, 307 entertainment coordinator. The club booked the special performance with Rose on Friday. Tickets are $35 and only will be sold at the Honeytribe show before May 6.

True Gn'R fans out there, at this point, are probably coming down off the extreme buzz of a potential Axl Rose show as memories of Rose's fiascoes in Canada and other notorious mishaps come flooding back. Rose is guaranteed to perform this time, Fouquier said. The contract is strict and will be enforced.
"The way the contract is worded, it protects the show from any bad incidents," he said. "If Axl doesn't show, if he drinks, if he doesn't play for any reason, he owes us what we paid to get him here, what we paid to put on the show, plus interest."

Guns N' Roses exploded onto the heavy metal, hard rock, popular and other music scenes with a vengeance in 1986 backed by the ferocious attack of its debut single, Welcome to the Jungle, a little ditty about drug addiction. Other singles from the debut disc, Appetite for Destruction, including Paradise City and Sweet Child of Mine, launched the Los Angeles-based rockers to a level of superstardom few bands ever achieve.

The hype from Appetite barely had time to fizzle before the boys followed it up with Lies, which included the power-packed acoustic single Patience, and the dual-disc masterpiece, Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II, which included the hit tracks November Rain, Live and Let Die, Don't Cry, Civil War, Yesterdays and You Could Be Mine.

Infighting, drug addiction, alcohol and Rose's infamous inflated ego led to the band's eventual demise in the 1990s before the band could finish, record and release Chinese Democracy, the disc that was intended to catapult the group back to into the superstar ether.

On Aug. 30, 2002, Rose reappeared after years out of the limelight. He gave what was supposed to amount to his official comeback at the MTV Video Music Awards. Guitarist Slash, bassist Duff McKagen and the rest of the original Gn'R line-up were not in the revamped group, which featured renowned guitarist Buckethead.

But, the performance only harbored more of the same from Rose. Scheduled Gn'R tour dates that followed the Radio City Music Hall comeback were canceled because Rose either didn't show up or refused to perform.

Fouquier said Rose requested the Lafayette performance because he wants to perform in front of a small crowd (the bar holds about 250 to 300), hang out, take pictures and sign autographs. Keep your fingers crossed.

I posted a link to it already in the       Rumblings of surprise gig or two   thread. But it seems unlikely to be true as its the day before rir

sounds suspiciously like the atlanta gig :-\

yeah,it does.and that never happened did it  :hihi:

wttj is not about drug addiction

The day befor RIR, sound like this gig is BS unless Axl wants to do this show, then fly to Europe with no rest.

Sounds legit.



... but, yes, so did Atlanta at one point.

uh... rock in rio?

Exactly. If it would've been at the same week as the NYC shows, it could've been true.

sounds bs to me  :peace:

uh... air travel..?

it`s not about that....  axl probably doesn`t want any stress before rio...whatever....

maybe they confused the date??

how long in time would it be from this show to the rio show taking into consideration the time difference.this should be fun.i cant work it out  :no:

looks like this is a hoax,feel free to lock mods  : ok:

why do you consider it hoax suddenly?

i didnt,jarmo modified my topic heading.still might be true but jarmo doesnt think so.

This is a HOAX!



/jarmo

just wondering how do you know,im not trying to be smartarse or anything,but do you have some info that you cant tell or is it that obvious that this is a hoax  :peace:

That's what I was told and I was asked to make sure everybody knows that.

sorry for the ignorance here but is this the same allman family as

GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose was seen on Saturday night (March 25) at a THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND gig in New York. The concert at the Beacon Theater was the final night for the band after a recent run of gigs at the venue.

Yes.
