Title: GNR should do Letterman Post by: SonofAGun on May 05, 2006, 12:29:08 PM Given they are going to be in NYC next week, they should do a song. Good exposure, live audience etc.
I wouldnt be totally shocked if this happens next week. Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: nesquick on May 05, 2006, 12:33:34 PM would be cool, playing IRS. It's a good "rock in your face" song. Would work great I think.
Or playing The Blues. Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: JB9988 on May 05, 2006, 12:36:09 PM would be ok i guess i mean hey they would be on tv and we could get the recording very easy.
Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: jc524 on May 05, 2006, 12:46:12 PM I could see them playing Conan, hes a GN'R fan!
Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: Vadin on May 05, 2006, 12:47:13 PM I could see them playing Conan, hes a GN'R fan! haha.. yeah.. and a fan of the finnish president ;D Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: Mr.Intensity on May 05, 2006, 12:52:14 PM God no,
A band like gnr shouldn't whore itself out to talk shows/ saturday night live...... Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: iamskeletor on May 05, 2006, 01:09:55 PM Bands who have done SNL:
The Rolling Stones The Grateful Dead Bob Dylan Frank Zappa The Kinks Tom Petty Brian Wilson Aerosmith Eric Clapton Nirvana Red Hot Chili Peppers Pearl Jam U2 Metallica Surviving Members of the Beatles Pretty prestigious list if you ask me. SNL is a great way to generate publicity. What would a "band like GNR" be exactly? Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: Mr.Intensity on May 05, 2006, 01:18:41 PM I just don't think the performance area is big enough for Guns N Roses... also, most the bands you just listed will suck a corporate dick to sell an album, get a record contract, and they cater to the media... Axl Rose doesn't do those things.
Nine Inch Nails has been offered to play SNL, late shows, etc... Trent declines.. it's not really his thing.. and I don't think it's Axl's either, but that's just my opinion. Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: Chief on May 05, 2006, 01:18:54 PM i don't think they should do ANY tv performances like late night shows until there is something for people to buy. it would be a waste otherwise..
the ones who dont know that the band is doing new stuff would be more inclined to buy it but only after the album is out. Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: grabaraxl on May 05, 2006, 01:26:42 PM they did Fox's Late Show back in 89.
Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: GnR-NOW on May 05, 2006, 01:31:18 PM i hope gnr doesnt do a late night show, if they want publicity release CD
Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: iamskeletor on May 05, 2006, 01:31:58 PM P-Funk did SNL. Who has more people in the band than P-Funk?
Bottom line is that SNL reaches millions of viewers. Once GNR has something to sell, they should do some TV. Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: Deez Nuts on May 05, 2006, 01:36:37 PM i don't think they should do ANY tv performances like late night shows until there is something for people to buy.? it would be a waste otherwise.. exactly, they shouldn't be on tv even if they have a release date. Too many things could and have gone wrong with releasing a product. What happens if they play live and then the release date gets pushed back = more dissatisfied casual fans. It wouldn't really make a difference to us diehards. Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: RichardNixon on May 05, 2006, 01:38:36 PM Axl should go on the Daily Show or The Colbert Report.

Trent declines.. it's not really his thing.. and I don't think it's Axl's either, but that's just my opinion. I couldn't disagree more. Nirvana suck dick to sell albums but "You Could Be Mine" was totally not a product of marketing, come on. I love GN'R but really, do you really belive this? GN'R did ?MTV, release the "Making of the Video" on VHS, and jumped on the alternative bandwagon with SI. I love them, but they want to make money.

I agree with both of you. ?They want the big bucks, but they wont kiss ass to get it. ?If they see an opportunity to be featured without having to suck that "Corporate dick," sure they'll go for it. ?Axl has been all about bad press since day one, which is ironic because he thrives on good reviews and hates the bad ones. ?I don't see him doing something as clean as letterman, o'brien, leno, etc. Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: Oh My Choking Soul on May 05, 2006, 01:51:44 PM I just don't think the performance area is big enough for Guns N Roses... also, most the bands you just listed will suck a corporate dick to sell an album, get a record contract, and they cater to the media...

Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: Hatts on May 05, 2006, 02:22:47 PM I think it would be badass if there were on letterman. Who is on there next week? My only worry with it would be that something would go wrong and it would make them look bad all over the world. Don't need anoter 2002 vma. I thougth that performance rocked, but they really got torn apart for that one.

It would be a great interview.

The New Cars just did The Late Late show and their album doesnt come out until June 6. Bands do it all the time. Its called building momentum. Outside of GNR and rock diehards the general public has forgotten about GNR. Doing a show like this isnt "selling out" or premature. Its the nature of the business.

Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: St.heathen on May 05, 2006, 04:45:41 PM Talk Shows have never really been GNR's thing. And let's be honest Slash and Duff tended to do most of the interviews ect back in the day. I can't see Axl enjoying answering the same Questions over and over. But hey this is a new phase for him so let's see.
Here in the UK we have a programe called Later with Jools Holland a great music show totally about the music they have all types of weird, brilliant music. About 5/6 totally different acts and styles all play in the same room. And it is all about the quality of song and performance. That's what i'd like to see them do, where it's just about the songs, that would do the new GNR's reputation a world of good in the UK - i feel anyway.

I didn't even know there was a current series on at the moment. Later with Jools Holland is so much more about Jazz and not about rock at all. Johnathan Ross would be so much more apt. They had Tommy Lee and Vince Neil on a few months back before the release of Red, White and Crue and they have a lot of big names on that show...they had the Chili Peppers playin Dani California on it two weeks ago so I think Johnathan Ross would be the best to do, if any.

U2 did it in November of 2004 and it freaking rocked. Probably the best SNL performance ever. Axl could really generate alot of positive hype out of an SNL performance. Shit loads of bands have done these types of shows not just big name bands. It's not called selling out or sucking dick to make a buck. It's called playing a live gig. Pearl Jam fucking ripped last night on David Letterman and I assure you they aren't sucking any corporate dick. It's on televison so yeah they have to watch the laguange but other than that I don't see how it's selling out in anyway. I would bet every single one of you who are of the opinion that playing SNL or a Late night show is selling out would kill for the Rock in Rio or the Hammerstein shows to be on pay-per-view. Now tell me what's selling out? Some of you might want to think a bit before you start spouting off about what is and isn't selling out.
I agree though with whoever it was that said they should NOT do any of these types of shows unless there is finally an album to promote. Title: Re: GNR should do Letterman Post by: ARC on May 05, 2006, 10:58:37 PM Nirvana suck dick to sell albums Yeah, after they got famous they released an album with a song called "Rape Me"....

They made videos, they did interviews, they went on the cover of Rolling Stone, they did the MTV shows. I'm not saying the sucked dick to make money but their actions sure as hell didn't mirror their message. Fuck Kurt Cobain claimed to be everything that Eddie Vedder was/is. Kurt sold himself out.
