Here Today... Gone To Hell!

will be very close to the may 17th show.....IZZY STRADLIN...AND BAZ with be guest for this show..what a pr dream...

i doubt it

i doubt it too but after the may 18th acoustic gig i don't rule anything out anymore... ;)

It's a mistake if Axl brings Izzy out in Rio. People will just go crazy for the real Guns and no one will give shit about the new guys.
It was a mistake of him to bring him out in NYC.

I think it was cool to do it in NYC.. a special treat for the die hard fans. It's also a great endorsement and compliment for the new band and Axl, that Izzy wanted to play with these guys and basically give his ok to the new guns.

I doubt it will happen at Rio though. Not too fussed, as I said.. NYC is different.. small venue.. special moment at the right place and right time.

Sorry, but the fact that Izzy played with Axl didn't mean he was giving his approval to this band as "Guns N'Roses".

That's just your conclusion, and I think it's propaganda.

izzy played with VR too ...

i predict the rio show will bring us ONE new song.
and a release date.... SIKE!

I dont reckon Izzy's gonna play, that was a one off for sure!!

This is the big one!! :beer: :beer:

I think Izzy just happened to be in NY and since he was ion town went on stage for a few songs....like someone said he did it a few times with VR.....I think Izzy just wanted to do it

Agreed. If he was "endorsing" the new band he would've jammed on some of the new songs not the classic ones he wrote!!  :hihi:

Well, the moment of Truth for the rumor is almost here, that Slash wil play Estranged in RIR ::) 2 days left :drool:

Shiryu.

That's actually an intelligent point, I hadn't thought of it that way.

i predict gnr will play don't cry

I predict the same setlist we have heard so far.

Its the safest bet.

I predict 1 new song (or possibly CitR)

I think there's at least a fair chance of Izzy being at Rio.

You could argue both ways that it would be either a mistake or a good thing for the new band.....but...regardless of that debate....I'll bet he's there.

 : ok:

I was actually thinking something like that, especially with the online coverage.......it would make great theatre :hihi:

izzy wont be there---side bets anyone?

if hes not there, i win the bet.

if he is there, holy shit thatd be awesome.

win, win situation baby

agreed..

never say never, i don't expect them to but bumble did play the intro to it last night, although that doesn't have to be a hint at all...

1. Izzy won't be there.
2. No new songs will be played. They are already playing 5 of 13 on the album, give em a break!

I can see what people are saying about izzy giving his "endorsement". While it may not be an endorsement in the way of "I agree that Axl should be playing with this band rather than the Appetite era band" I would say it is at least an obvious endorsement in the sense that Izzy is cool with Axl and supports the new guns.

At the very least it shows he doesn't share your opinion.

Since the US-Tour is also on the way in the fall and Rock in Rio is watched online & on tv worldwide i would say they will announce & play the first single of the album and later announce a release date for Chinese Democracy.

wishful thinking ..?? maybe but Fuck off it would make sense.

ahh and no Izzy or Slash or Duff will be involved

Izzy is obviously cool with what Axl's doing and with the new band. A guy as principled as he is wouldn't appear on stage with "Guns N' Roses" if he still thought it was some kind of sham. Get serious.

It's an Axl v. Slash/Duff war.

Izzy seems to be cool with everybody.
Steven seems to be pissed at everybody.

I don't think Izzy will be there tonight though....

I could see a new track though.... "Prostitute"? :drool:
