Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Edit: New subject since Motley Crue won't be taking part in this show. /jarmo

where did you source this? Almost exactly the same as the one on the poster for the Austria gig.

Very cool, I like it alot better than the one they used in 2002 - much more classic Guns without the cheese factor

Don't think so. 

I'd wear it, though.

awesome logo, much better indeed

 :beer:

I really like it.

where's that arena?

no new official logos at the moment

why don't you think it's real?

guns and motlet, guns and metallica... This is getting wuite interesting... maybe axl n vince will finally end the fued and throw down :D

I love the logo by the way, I hated the 2002 one

I think axl is comfortable and is finally sayin step up for the challenge to the bands he would not tour with later before....

RDS Arena is in Dublin, Ireland; so far that`ll make sense

Its in Ireland... I can't wait!

UH.... nobody is commenting on the fact that the Crue is billed as a "special guest"????

I am skeptical...

Yeah, what's next? Ted Nugent opening for GNR? Faster Pussycat? :hihi: They must be rounding up every musician/band that Axl ever disliked. I smell trouble! :nervous:... :hihi:

That is a cool logo. Could've been much worse.

Velvet Revolver?

I doubt it, on the Download Festival website they use the old GnR writing/symbol.

But I don't know how they are aloud because Slash owns the copyright to the old GnR logo, unless . . . . .  :hihi:

that would be awesome, then axl n scott could duet ;D  I just don't know if the stage could hold that many players at once :rofl:

I can imagine it now. Scott and Axl sing Slither, and some people here start saying its the most groundbreaking thing that they've heard in years. A live crappily recorded bootleg of it surfaces, and everyone guarantees it would be a great radio friendly single! :rofl:

That's oh so true.

the logo doesnt look like it's fan made. ????

wtf, so this is just a gnr show + opening act or what??

could someone get a confirmation for RDS Arena Friday June 9th ? Tour dates are multiplying  :nervous:

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=26167.0

seems official based on the thread if that's what you meant..

No? I think it does.

All these festival sites showing what appears to be their own GnR logo's as they've not been provided with anything from an official source. It's the music that counts most i guess, not logo's, official web sites etc. VR Offcial web site is very interesting and very pro, although it's a bitch to use  ;D

hmmm I guess that's a reliable site ?:hihi: Im gonna go check out the main concert selling sites on amsterdam brussels and paris now ?;D

I honestly don't believe anything until it happens, guess you become that way after all the years of BS... I am waiting for the offical statement on all this, like when gnr's officla site starts putting these dates down.. until then you never know the summer/spring is a while away

what if it's true and then it's sold out  ???

ebay! :hihi:

I'm sure it is true. I was just saying I don't believe anything until axl or merch confirms it.... I would go ahead and buy the tickets, festivals are a safe bet, even if by some reason axl isn't there at least there are other bands

This could be dangerous considering axl and vinces past

Guns N' Roses confirm Dublin date

22/02/2006 - 11:12:09

Guns N? Roses have been confirmed for for a summer gig in Dublin later this year.

Performances from Guns N? Roses have been few and far between in the last decade and it is expected that tickets will be snapped up quickly when they go on sale next Saturday at 9am, priced form ?54.50.

The rock giants will be joined by special guests Motley Crue for the concert on Friday, June 9 in the RDS Arena.

The announcement that rock giants Guns N? Roses will play the RDS will be welcomed by their Irish fans. Guns N? Roses burst onto the music scene in 1985 with their own ferocious brand of rock and roll and since then have been thrilling audiences the world over. Having already sold over 80 million records, Guns N? Roses are planning the release of their forthcoming studio album.

there's already another thread reporting this  : ok:

http://www.rds.ie/home/index.aspx?id=8 (venue RDS)


Can anyone explain these diffrent tickets? (these are from the metallica show, but i assume the Guns show will be about the same)
ANGLSESA STAND
?75.00


GENERAL ADMISSION
?64.50

Nightfall, General Admission is for standing so that's the only one we care about. Anglesea Stand is for anyone who wants sit down.

It's confirmed, its on ticketmaster.ie website. I can't wait. This seems to be the Download Festival for Ireland. At the top of the Metallica tickets on the 11th it says Download. But it's annoying because unlike British Download, tickets are sold seperately for each concert in Ireland. G n' R on the ninth and Metallica on the 11th. Also , i'm guessing whoever headlines Friday in Donnington will headline RDS Saturday. A few weeks ago people were saying G n' R, Metallica and AC/DC. If they were right about G n' R and Metallica then AC/DC is probably true as well. Best Weekend Ever!

This should be gr8, im goin to metalica already but might not make it home from my holiday for the guns concert, i'll be sick if i dont!

just hear it on the radio saves me a trip to england

Leaves 3 months to plan out security with the irish police and security companies usually working for the place.

Also, escape areas ( you know, in case of crowd panics ?) and make sure to make people sit DOWN whilst waiting for hours and plan something in case of heavy showers and hours of waiting.


PLEASE ?

It's just extraordinary given their history!

Imagine asking Motley Crue to open for GN'R! Wonder if Axl will mingle.

I'm sure it'll all be cool.. it's all in the interest of kick ass rock!

Maybe Axl wants to win some of the old school R&R fans back around.

And how exactly do you know this?

I tend to doubt that when Axl bought out Guns n' Roses, the Corporate entity, that the logo wasn't included in the deal.  Lawyers are way too smart for that kind of stuff.

-darknemus

wasn't it slash's dad who made it ?

It doesn't matter.

Bravado has signed a deal some years ago, guess with whom, and releases products with that logo...

It's a full blown epidemic now.

GnR are touring Europe.

I can't imagine they could tour without an album or single to promote.

Things are getting interesting.

where is the official announcement?

Certainly is. The Dublin gig is their gig of their own.. a few more starts a tour! Very exciting!

Be a great show if it was U2 and Gn'R.  But hey a few shows lined up is nice anyway even if it isn't stateside. (yet)  Guns can tour the world (minus the states) and do very well without a cd or single.  Stateside you need something to promote usually.

With regards to an official announcement ......sometime this week?

I think axl's on this side of the pond for some reason .

Heres a tip for you all around that weekend...Go to johnny foxes pub in the mountains. It seems like all the celebritys go up there when they come over, last time a friend of a friend apparently saw the memebers of VR up there, hes not really a music fan so he didnt know who they were! But he chatted away to them and said Slash was just really down to earth

thnx for the explaination.
About the confirmation on ticketmaster....you can't get extra info on the show and shuc, while ticketsales are supposed to start on saturday...

I don't know it for a fact, but I've heard people who know there history say it and I believe them.

And you think after Axl battled to keep the name Guns N Roses that he wouldn't use the recognizable logo if he could ?

You forgot Grim Reaper!! :rofl:

I wouldn't worry about the Vince-man and Axl- both of them ought to be at the point now where they know it aint fuckin 1993 and these are high money gigs and they should be on their best behavior.

If you don't know something for a fact, don't state it as a fact just cause you believe in someone.

Why would he use the old logo from 20 years ago? He updated the band so it would only make sense to update the logo.

He uses the old logo in combination with the new logo.

Maybe it represents a transition from the old to the new.

so that logo on the site is for real then? I thought it wasnt real...

does this mean that Motley and Guns are doing a show together? That is just amazing. Have Motley said anything about it? Maybe they will soon. Should try to get som info from the Crue fans, if the rumours has been going over there too..

ha! and i was just about to buy a download ticket today.

its unfortunate the date of these things run so (purposefully) close or id have headed to both.
and shame about motely crue supporting.


but still... axl in ireland. its going off.

http://www.motley.com/bbs/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=801132&page=0&fpart=1&vc=1

There's the thread from the official M?tley Cr?e message board on their site....

This is awesome news, damn would I love to be able to go to that show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually if you remember buck whaleys on leeson st ....that was the aftershow party for slane castle 92.

I bet he's booked the bar in the 4 seasons this time round.

If they play Scotland on the 10th June i'll go crazy  :hihi:

man im so fucking there!!!!!

RDS is right bang in the middle of dublin, whats intresting about this is that this is NOT a festival, which makes me think theres gonna be a lot of promotion needed here

this place holds a bout 40,000, im not sure if it well sell out, the last time guns came here they only sold 50000 out of a possible 80000 and thats when they were massive so i cant see them selling 40,000 this


this is just on the radio now, its been advertised as download ireland, and metallica are playing 2 nites later, but you have to buy tickets seperatley for each day



yeah theres a huge standing area in fron of the stage, and theres a stand behind the standing area, so anyone standing will be closer than anyone in the stand

 
Sniff....sniff.....

Whats that? Hmm...I think.....

Yes, it is.

I definately can.

I smell....SHITE.

great news!!   so this is no festival??...??

no its not, its been advertised as download Ireland, guns are playing fri nite and metallica sun nite, theres nothing about sunday night, tickets for both shows are sold seperatley

it is just a dublin leg of download. its from the same organizers (in a way). in actuality it isnt a singular solo gig (which makes it likely motely crue to be heading to download england) as it comes under the banner of download even though there will only be a few other bands on the bill.

it doesnt indicate a solo european tour.

just changed my pic from the old to the new logo :hihi:

i really dig that....

Think so too, this is from the MetallicA site:


Korn is rumoured to be there too.

it is yeah, but its still sdvertised as a one off gig

yea thats cause they cant hold a proper 'festival' with camping etc. in the middle of dublin. they do the same thing with the reading and leeds festivals now.

its good though. it saves us a trip to england (though im still thinking about hopping over for the saturday and sunday of downloading after the rds show). but there is surely no way they're gonna sell out the rds, is there? at the minimum its a 35,000 capacity gig for a concert and i really dont think they'll pull that in over here. which is a shame, and will be kind of embarrassing (for us, that our countrypeople dont appreciate the band/axl as they should).

yeah thats what im thinking, they only sold 50,000 for slane when they were massive so i cant see them selling out, but you never know if the album is released before then


i have metallica tickets for sunday nite too, i was gonna sell them and go to download and both bands there, sure saves me a lot of hassle now

ok just have to say that im in total shock :o :o :o :o :o ? so much so that iv joined up to messageboard on this site ?: ok: : ok: : ok:because i usually just read the headlines for the last 2 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ? ?this is unbelievable!!! ?lol ? ? ?thats ?bon jovi on the 20th of may in croke park and now guns like a week afer ?iv died and gone to heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :drool: :drool: :drool: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

you never know the the greatest hits sold well over here and a lot of people were too young to see them in slane and it easy to get home from the rds there is plenty of bars hotels around and it going to be a long june summer evening bright till 10 pm most people off work the next day best time for it for the over 30s trip down memory lane and the 20s to see the legendary ?gnr ?

yea i really wanna see metallica (ive never seen the to my enternal shame) and if theyre on the saturday at download in england then i probably will head to england, if i can get anyone convinced to go along with me or ahead of me. i wouldnt mind missing the friday headliner at download england/saturday ireland (even if it is ac/dc) for two shows from axl.

the sooner this week is over the better. i cant get any work done. im like a fucking little kid before christmas. saturday morning cant come soon enough. i need a ticket before i can settle back into real life.

axl back in ireland. bloody hell.

a friend of mine rang me to tell me this was happening and ilaughed in his face!!!
In this weekend i get to see four of my favorite bands in dublin, pure fooking quality, Guns, Crue, Metallica and Korn.
Happy fooking days my friends happy fooking days!!!!

lol its gonan be funny to watch gnr out perform MC on that festival....MC will come out to Vince Neil singing to a cd player and then Axl comes out running around tearing shit up....but atleast ull see some hot chicks on MC stage

good point, it was number one here for 6 or 7 weeks


yeah im still consider ing going to england, but its hard to beat watching a band you like on home soil

ok i recorded this bit of the radio on my fone, its nutin really just the dj's mentioning guns but what the heck

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PYIER2KO

Is it just me or MC and guns of Chinese Democracy make an odd combination?
 :-\

No, it' s not just you. I was thinking the same thing...

godamn it, i wish i lived in europe  :(

Me too. Well not really.. I wish i was on a long vactation in Europe this Spring. : ok:

could someone tell me if its only gonna be motley crue then GNR at this show.

the radio stations are playing adverts for the concert very regular, over here.

motley crue will defiently open for guns,

great to here the adverts.

Well, I can't imagine any promoter making their own logos for the artist.

Usually the artists send promo pics or logos for sites and posters.

Ok, where have i been the last few years, i thought Axl n Vince never settled there differences...

Last I read, the guys in Motley, mainly Vince, were just saying how that feud is totally dead....time has just killed it.  I think he said something like, its been over ten years, you just have to let shit like that go.  And then they went on about how they just want him to release some new music already.

yea. and besides, its unlikely axl will have much dealing with them backstage anyways. he'll in his hotel or his trailer or dressing room(s) until show time. then stay in for another hour. take a limo 10 or so feet to stage entrance and play. i be surprise if they crossed paths.

and im sure that theyre all able to look back on those times now and have a laugh.

Axl is a very emotional person (from what we've seen) but he's also 44 years old.

People grow up as they grow old...

what an aweful support.

I sawy we go and kick the shit outta Motley fans...have you seen their comments on their forum? Vince Neil talentless pig!  >:(

but i also think he actually has a dedication to getting this material out. (though it might not seem like it at times).


i really cant see him letting small fry like motely crue upset the applecart. his work is too important to waste his time with nonsense like vince neil. and though it may still annoy him (and hope to fuck we get a quip or two from him about them during the show - how fucking funny would that be?!), i think he has it together enough not to be bothered by them on the bill. and i honestly dont think they'll even come in contact with each other.


and yes grendood, it is an awful support. there are few bands i can stand even less than motely crue. but if thats the price to pay, thats the price to pay.

God that's fucking AMAZING! My two favorite bands playing a gig together.


P.S. Grendood, FUCK OFF already!!

I'm an old-school gunner, and the idea of Axl Rose and Vince Neil being in the same zip code strikes me as hard to believe.  Thoughts?

Agree, worst possible after poison and cinderella...

I think it's cool, better old school than some shitty new band that I don't get but then again i'm 31? :peace:

you forgot dokken, slaughter, warrant, faster pussycat....i could go on ;)

motley was a decent band back in the day.  i wouldn't call myself a fan, but i think I could listen to a best of Crue CD over half the crap out today on modern rock radio.

I'm sure there will be hype around an Axl/Vince showdown, not that anything will materialize, but it will be funny imagining it.  We'll see if Axl even deigns to talk to MC.

Vince Neil will poop his pants as soon as he sees Earl... :rofl:  Vince is a fat little pig, I heard Axl does kick boxing.

VERY interesting. Color me shocked. I never thought Motley and GNR would share the same stage. This is turning out the be the biggest summer for rock music in YEARS! Guns, Metallica, Alice in Chains, Tool, Motley Crue, Avenged Sevenfold, etc. Awesome...

I saw the Crue a couple of weeks ago. The show was pretty good, but Vince wasn't "on" at all. Nikki, Tommy, Mick, all were very good. But Vince...sorry, no.

ps. (I did like the "titty cam" that Tommy brought out about 3/4 of the way).

pss.- I can think of a dozen(at least) worse openers.

I'ev heard the same feedback from Crue fans that went to the Sydney gig that Vince was terrible. Axl isn't perfect at 44 anyhow so no dramas.

They probably won't have two words to say to each other, anyway.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwww eff motley crue


cheez factor to the max

Some people are getting pissy because it's Motley Crue, I'm not a Motley Crue fan but I think they are a great opener (in most cases I bet they headline).

It's alot better then some of the shit it could of been opening for GnR.

for instance, off the top of my head, CKY...MMM

I cant see Motley and GNR playing the same night.  So if both are there u can bet it will be different nights

Motley is much better than the band some of you have proposed to open for GNr for instance..Weezer  :-\ . MC is Rock N roll!  :smoking:

I love Motley Crue but u take away the stage show and pyrotechnics and they arent as good.


Motley's songs are nowhere on the level that GNR songs are. Motley is a good time band thats good to rock out to etc but GNR's music is lifechanging.

Big difference


As much as I like Vince neil he doesnt come close to being on Axl's planet.

yeah maybe but as an opening band for guns, I think it's ok. but I don't think Vince will do that hahahahaha his ego wouldn't allow it? :hihi:

no way Motley would ever open for GNR.

I remember Motley fired Doc McGhee cause they basically opened for Bon Jovi at the Moscow Peace festival.

Then why does the promoter apparently have the concert signed, sealed, and delivered?

-darknemus

Well.... there was more to that, he got them there under false pretences making out that it was an equal billing show, and only when they got there did they find out that it was basically a Bon Jovi parade, with them supporting.

Having said that, It's hard to see the Crue agreeing to this, unless they really are in trouble and desperately need publicity, etc

@#$%Funker

Richard Fortus has the show listed on his site:

http://www.richardfortusonline.com/ontour.htm


so no doubt anymore

so they are playin the same night on the same bill?

hope Vince and Axl are cordial.

Truly no doubt, I just wonder how they came about agreeing to do this.

@#$%Funker

 :o never never see it to happen, but well, good anyway I wish I could be there ...dammit! :smoking:

Now as much as I like both bands and think this is a good billing...

WHY WOULD THE CRUE OPEN UP FOR GN'R?

GN'R is better, and has more fans, but it still must be a huge blow to the ego to open up for GN'R....

Anyone agree?

He knows the same as we do, it appears - no exact dates for Gods of Metal or Nova Rock yet.

i think he wouldn't just post tour dates on his website because he got it from the internet. maybe they just don't know wether they're playing the first or 2nd night of gom.  don't be so sceptical about everything

Listen to Motley Crue Self titled and Theatre of Pain and tell me Motley are just a "good time band."

P.S. I've seen Motley without the stage show and they kicked ass!! Nikki and Tommy probably have one of the tightest rhythm sections ever period.

the srue are opening for GNR, thats how its been advertised on the radio and this is a single day event so they have to be playing the same day

Where can i buy tickets!?

www.ticketmaster.ie

but not yet...

All the questions about the show should be posted in the Dublin thread in the GN'R On Tour section: http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?board=4.0

This is only for posting news articles...




/jarmo

i dnt know why it is a big block to motleys ego to open up for gnr  because lets face it    they arent big anymore  they shuld be happy to be givenb the oppertunity to play to a large audience and the cahnce of getting fans on to their side because the facts are  motley died in the 80s along with all other bands in the same gene of music   the only bands to survive the 80s were GnR (tho they didnt surivie axl lol), Aerosmith, U2 and Bon Jovi  so crue shuld tank ther stars they even getttin over to irealnd

everyone has their own opinions and i would never force something on anybody or try to discredit someone's tastes in music.

BUT, love em or hate em, you have to at least give the crue some respect. they are far and above the typical glam band from the 80's.

too fast for love and shout at the devil are two incredible albums. and they made several other great songs throughout their career, and their live show is one of the best out there (not just because of the gimmicks).

and the crue are huge right now.....they had one of the most successful tours of 2005 - they sold out stadiums all across the world.

this is my dream show. IMO they are two of the greatest bands - and certainly two of the greatest live acts - of all time. enjoy it.

and if you're not a motley fan, at least catch the first hour of the show....they play all their old stuff from their first two albums, which i mentioned above. great stuff which sounds awesome live.

Why would the Crue support GNR when they have had such a successful year or so themselves, plus all of the crap in the past? I doubt theyd care to open for Axl and his 'mates' which makes me believe even more that Slash etc will be present. Any comments?

Well, I guess Slash is playing with Richard on rhythm guitar because Richard has the dates up on his website! ;D I always wanted to go to Ireland. Hmmmmm....not a big Crue fan but would love to hoist a wee pint of Guinness in a few pubs before a Gnr show....or Axl and friends....or whoever shows up with Axl! :beer: :beer:

i know that weve been over it a billion times, but I really reckon Slash (at least) will be there.

Still trying to get ime off work for Donington. Aaaaarrgh.

After so many years there are people who still don't get it...  ::)

Yeah but we don't use zipcodes in Ireland. :hihi:

Look at Axl making peace with Slash and Izzy lately. I don't think he cares about some 15-year old feud with Motley Crue. He's not that immature.

Although I admit the fact he didn't even want Slash in the same building for a concert a few years ago could suggest old wounds never die. But the promotors wouldn't have done this if they thought there was a risk.

all of these so called feuds etc are bullshit ...simply designed to sell more records/tickets etc......pure hype.


In relation to axl not wanting slash at a gig .......bullshit ......don't believe a word of it.

Management yes .

axl no.

what a relief. I can breathe easy. Phew. 
You must learn how to draw a clover on your Guinness head before going to Ireland. Chin Chin! :beer:

I said this in a thread about slash that was dead horsed, but I think the main reason people have been holding on to this Axl-Slash dream are the recent Ross Halfin comments and the fake insiders saying Slash was back in GNR. Maybe after one of these new shows people will let that dream die, at least until after the CD era has winded itself down.

Ross was being sarcastic.

Yes, but that doesn't mean that people aren't gullible enough to believe his comments. Dont you remember the crazy threads those comments started? People were believing the 'new' Guns had been fired and Slash, Duff, Matt, and Izzy were re-recording Chinese Democracy.

well that's interesting..

from blabbermouth:

M?TLEY CR?E Representatives 'Know Nothing' About Gig With GUNS N' ROSES - Feb. 23, 2006

Representatives for M?TLEY CR?E "claim to know nothing" about the group's previously announced June 9 in Dublin's RDS Arena as the support act for GUNS N' ROSES, according to MTV.com. In addition, representatives for both Geffen and Interscope, the two labels most likely to release GUNS N' ROSES new album, "Chinese Democracy", said they didn't have any information about a release date for the album or even which label might release it.

According to MTV.com, GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose stopped into a New York nightclub early on the morning of February 10 reportedly to continue the celebration of his 44th birthday (although his birthday is actually Febuary 6).

At about 5:30 a.m. when Barry Mullineaux and Mike Satsky, owners of the club Stereo, opened their doors to Rose and a handful of his friends, who'd been booted from another club at the standard New York watering-hole closing time of 4 a.m. As a sign of his gratitude, Mullineaux said Rose sent someone to his hotel room to retrieve two CDs, each one containing 10 tracks.

"He was talking with everybody freely about how he's been off for 10 years, and how even though Slash and the rest of the guys [have moved ahead with their careers by starting] VELVET REVOLVER, he's been holding back," Mullineaux told MTV.com. "He said this album will show everyone who was the main ingredient from GNR. He was freely answering questions about his work, the band, what happened with the split, the direction he's headed in — and the music sounded great."

Mullineaux, who said he manned the DJ booth and spun the discs for Rose, said several of the tracks reminded him of classic GNR, with moments of uncharacteristic heaviness. Axl "kept telling me to put back #3 — I guess that was his favorite song," he said. "He wanted to play that one over and over, like six times. He was really getting into it and rockin' out. Everybody was surprised at how good it sounded. And that third track, that was the song where his voice sounded the best; the smoothest."

Merck Mercuriadis, Rose's manager, declined requests from MTV.com for comment on multiple questions regarding the band's forthcoming activities, including its current lineup, the festival appearances or the status of "Chinese Democracy", saying only that the Sanctuary Group will "be issuing a press release in due course."


wtf?

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=48750

I'm giving this its own thread since it's rather problematic...

is this show gonna happen?

Who booked this?

There's a screw-up somewhere...

VR's PR people told teletext in the UK that Slash is NOT rejoinging GNR, I know you shouldnt bash other members on these boards as its not permitted so ill keep it as politely as possible. Anyone who believed Slash was re-joining GNR was 'extremely gullable'

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=26213.0

great, I smell problems coming. there's no GNR show without problems : ok:

I did find it odd that GN'R and Motley Crue would be on the same bill given their history & the fact that "Shotgun Blues" is about Vince Neil.

They are going to play on two different nights......

Plus, one of the members of the Crew was like "Axl, come back and rock with us."

I hope Axl jumps on stage while motley is playing and kick the shit outta Vince Neil  :beer:

Do you really expect grown men to carry petty grudges against each other from 16 yrs ago? C'mon..............

dude, that was like 15 years ago....I think they're well over it.

Seriously... Izzy and Vince (the two parties actually directly involved) may have buried the hatchet years ago for all we know... Axl was just standing up for a bandmate who's no longer in the band any more... Vince lost a daughter to boot... people's persepectives change...

It would be a good opportunity for both of them- so let's hope they pull it off.

no theyr to play the same night

I doubt the Crue is on a gag order..

"He was talking with everybody freely about how he's been off for 10 years, and how even though Slash and the rest of the guys [have moved ahead with their careers by starting] VELVET REVOLVER, he's been holding back," Mullineaux told MTV.com. "He said this album will show everyone who was the main ingredient from GNR. He was freely answering questions about his work, the band, what happened with the split, the direction he's headed in ? and the music sounded great."

Mullineaux, who said he manned the DJ booth and spun the discs for Rose, said several of the tracks reminded him of classic GNR, with moments of uncharacteristic heaviness. Axl "kept telling me to put back #3 ? I guess that was his favorite song," he said. "He wanted to play that one over and over, like six times. He was really getting into it and rockin' out. Everybody was surprised at how good it sounded. And that third track, that was the song where his voice sounded the best; the smoothest."

Merck Mercuriadis, Rose's manager, declined requests from MTV.com for comment on multiple questions regarding the band's forthcoming activities, including its current lineup, the festival appearances or the status of "Chinese Democracy", saying only that the Sanctuary Group will "be issuing a press release in due course."

In the rock and roll realm, momentous band reunions and eagerly awaited album releases are, in most cases, preceded by weeks of unconfirmed rumors. With Guns N' Roses ? who, of course, are now Axl Rose and whoever's still on the payroll ?
and the decade-in-the-making LP, Chinese Democracy, it's been years of unconfirmed rumors, and all the talk of the album's "imminent" release has left only red faces.

And while there's been no official word from Axl's camp, recent weeks have seen the biggest swirl of activity around the band since it actually toured ? well, played a few dates and cancelled some more ? late in 2002 (see "It's Extra Official: Promoter Says GN'R Tour Totally Off" and "Fans Riot After Guns N' Roses Tour Kickoff Canceled: Kurt Loder Reports"). Some authentic-sounding leaked tracks, a couple of surprise public appearances from Axl, an impromptu album listening party in New York and several "confirmed" summer festival dates ? including one accompanied by an official statement from the band's management ? have set the rumor mill into overdrive yet again.

Last week, three songs said to be from the Chinese Democracy sessions leaked online: "There Was a Time," "The Blues" and "I.R.S.," the latter being the same cut that surfaced more than two years ago on New York radio station Q104.3, compliments of former New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza (see "New GN'R Tune Leaked By ... Mets Catcher Mike Piazza?!,"). A rough, minute-and-20-second excerpt of a fourth track called "Better" has also emerged.

The origin of the leaks is unknown, and most Web sites have since pulled the files and links to the downloadable tracks to evade litigation. The songs sound like a more evolved version of Guns N' Roses, with a Nine Inch Nails-like lean toward brooding electronica. And if that's not Axl singing, it's a world-class impersonator.

"I.R.S." had been added to the rotation bins of several rock radio stations across the country after the tracks leaked last week. But like the Web sites that had been offering downloads, those stations have, for the most part, stopped airing the track. However, enough stations reported playing "I.R.S." to propel the song to the #49 spot on the radio trade magazine Radio & Records' Active Rock National Airplay chart for the week ending February 24; Geffen/ Interscope is listed as the band's label.

GN'R's management, the Sanctuary Group, has not confirmed that the songs are indeed by Guns N' Roses, nor that they're from Democracy. Other alleged tracks from the album that have leaked in recent years include "Catcher in the Rye," "Riyadh and the Bedouins," "Silkworms" and the album's title track.

This week, the Web sites of several European festivals announced that GN'R have been added to their lineups: According to the sites, the band will be headlining the Rock in Rio festival in Lisbon, Portugal, on May 27; Italy's Gods of Metal festival on June 3 and 4; Rock am Ring in Nurburgring, Germany, June 3 to 6; the NovaRock festival in Austria, June 15 to 17; and both GN'R and Metallica ? a lethal combo, in light of their riotous co-headlining North American tour of 1992 ? have been announced as headliners of this year's Download Festival in England, June 9 to 11.

A press release issued Wednesday to the British media stated that Guns N' Roses would close out the Download Festival on June 11. In it, Rose said, "The U.K. and Europe have always been special for me. After our last great shows there, we are all very excited and looking forward to getting back over there and in front of such great audiences. To be asked to headline [Download] is, for me, an honor and a privilege that none of us take for granted. We look forward to seeing all of you at Download."

The release adds, "With this confirmation and the forthcoming release of Guns N' Roses' long-awaited new album, this certainly promises to be a great year for GN'R and their devoted fans."

In addition, the online home of Irish concert organizers Aiken Promotions is publicizing a GN'R gig slated for June 9 in Dublin's RDS Arena, with M?tley Cr?e slated to open, however, representatives for the Cr?e claimed to know nothing about the show.

Meanwhile, at press time, GN'R's official Web site did not have a single posting in its "News" section, and likewise, when you click on "Tour Dates," not one of the aforementioned festivals is listed; in its place, there's a logo for the band's aborted 2002 trek.

Veteran rock photographer Ross Halfin further fanned the flames with a February 3 post on his Web site speculating that that GN'R's original lineup would reunite for the Download gig (instead of what is believed to be the group's latest incarnation: Rose, bassist Tommy Stinson, keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman, drummer Brian "Brain" Mantia and guitarists Richard Fortus and Robin Finck). However, Halfin removed the missive soon after his predictions started making the rounds on metal Web site forums.

Even former Axl ally Slash has been talking about Democracy in recent months. In two separate radio interviews, Slash said he'd heard the album, that it "sounds great" and that it would hit retail sometime in March. Slash declined MTV News' request for further information.

Representatives for both Geffen and Interscope, the two labels most likely to release Chinese Democracy, said they know nothing about a release date for the album or even which label might put it out.

Finally, there's the recent re-emergence of Axl himself. The reclusive rocker showed up for a party last month in Los Angeles celebrating Korn's tour announcement. And during a weeklong visit to New York, which also saw him visiting a Victoria's Secret event, he stopped into a New York nightclub reportedly to continue the celebration of his 44th birthday early on the morning of February 10 (although his birthday is actually Febuary 6).

At about 5:30 a.m., when Barry Mullineaux and Mike Satsky, owners of the club Stereo, opened their doors to Rose and a handful of his friends, who'd been booted from another club at the standard New York watering-hole closing time of 4 a.m. As a sign of his gratitude, Mullineaux said Rose sent someone to his hotel room to retrieve two CDs, each one containing 10 tracks.

"He was talking with everybody freely about how he's been off for 10 years, and how even though Slash and the rest of the guys [have moved ahead with their careers by starting] Velvet Revolver, he's been holding back," explained Mullineaux. "He said this album will show everyone who was the main ingredient from GN'R. He was freely answering questions about his work, the band, what happened with the split, the direction he's headed in ? and the music sounded great."

Mullineaux, who said he manned the DJ booth and spun the discs for Rose, said several of the tracks reminded him of classic GN'R, with moments of uncharacteristic heaviness. Axl "kept telling me to put back track #3 ? I guess that was his favorite song," he said. "He wanted to play that one over and over, like six times. He was really getting into it and rockin' out. Everybody was surprised at how good it sounded. And that third track, that was the song where his voice sounded the best; the smoothest."

? Chris Harris

kinda thought NIKI SIXX would be too big headed to open for AXL,
remember CRUE were already superstars when GNR was playing the clubs still....

Well... if it does go down... they'll have to find the right way to "spin" it so the Crue don't get too insulted... but the reality is that Motley Crue will go down as the greatest 80's party band... Guns N' Roses (at least the old band- and the new band seems promising) are fvcking hard rock legends... most of my Crue fan friends would even agree with that statement... so... maybe they find a way to spin it as a co-headliner (maybe have 30 minutes of river dancing beforehand as the "opener")... but sure as sh1t Axl will be downing a pint in some Dublin strip club ("getting ready for the show")- while Vince and the boys hit the stage at 8:00 PM. :hihi:

has Crue found out about this yet? :hihi: :rofl:

Does anyone know if Sanctuary is Motley Crue's booking agency?  If so, they might have booked this knowing that the Crue would get a large payday, without being able to inform the band's label.  Who knows.  I also speculate, that Motley Crue's egos are in play, and that Vince or Nicki said "no way will we open for Axl."  I would imagine, Tommy Lee would love it.

Irish concert promoters Aiken Promotions have confirmed that M?TLEY CR?E will **NOT** be supporting GUNS N' ROSES on June 9 at the RDS Arena in Dublin, Ireland, despite previous reports to the contrary. "I'm afraid the radio ads will still have M?TLEY CR?E as playing as they were produced before they had decided to cancel the date," reads a new e-mail message sent out by an Aiken representative. "There are new radio ads being produced that will not have M?TLEY CR?E included. As I hope you can appreciate we had just found out yesterday evening so promotion is still in the process. Sorry for any confusion caused."

Weird stuff

looks like the crew have pulled out.pussys  :peace:

It does GNR ZERO GOOD to be lumped with washed up 80s hair metal bands of the PAST. I loved that music as well, but GNR has long moved on. CD has zero relevance/connection to that era.

I would rather see them tour with something more relevant, new or different (like they did with Weezer in 02) than Motley Crue.

I am glad MC dropped out. Fuck them, they can go tour with Don Dokken and whatever is left of Ratt.

nooooooo not weezer.they went down like a lead balloon in london. :peace:

i cant say im dissapointed that the crue wont be coming here

Yeah I'm glad they arent. I was disappointed when I heard they were, but now I'm feeling "better".

That would have been a great show....I saw the Crue on the Red White and Crue tour in Vegas, and they put on a hell of a show. 

i have to disagree there they got a reaction most opening acts got where i was a lot of people seemed to be enjoying them, i went there not liking them and left thinking they were not too bad actually GNR fucking rocked the house/areana

A good move. That's best for both the bands.

I don't take count of the personal grudge issues but I just can't see Chinese Democracy and the 80's hairmetal being on the same stage.
Having been there once, GNR shouldn't be wrongly labelled twice.
That could alienate general music fans and new fans.

i managed to record the radio advert for the show on my fone today, the qualits pretty poor and you have to turn your speakers up, but anyway http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WZ57H6YL

*sniff sniff* I smell...CHICKEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PWAAAAAAAPWAAAAAAAPWAWPAAAAAAA   :rofl:

Looks like Motley was NEVER a part of Dublin to begin with:

Ireland misannounces Guns N' Roses opening act

Although respected news sources such as Ireland Online quoted commercial ads claiming that Motley Crue would perform as opening act for Guns N' Roses in Dublin, Ireland, Blabbermouth has learned that "Motley Crue" had no knoweledge of the concert. According to Blabbermouth, an exclusive interview with Irish firm Aiken Promotions revealed that Motley Crue would not appear at the scheduled festival date.

As many persons throughout the metal-oriented music industry reveled in the concept of these two eighties heavyweights finally making a move to "Get In The Ring", the notion was formally nixed today during the conversation between Blabbermouth and the management of Motley Crue.

As Reported by: The Wizard

Do you think GNR will sell it out? 

based on the last time they came to Ireland, then no i dont, but when GH was released here it went straight in at nym 1 and stayed there for 6 weeks, it droped and then went bak to num 1, going by that they it mite, if the albums is released b4 it then it prob will

When was the last time they were in Ireland?  How was the attendance?

05.16.92 - Slane Castle, Slane, Ireland
attendance: 50,000

gnrontour.com

Well, if they get 20K at RDS, I would call it a success!!!  Any word on how the ticket sales went today?

and slane holds 80,000

sorry my bad, i ment 80,000

So how many would you expect RDS?  15K?

i honestly have no idea

Please keep us up to date on the status of the ticket sales, I'mm looking to go to one of these shows for a summer trip but obviously cant go to ones that are sold out : ok:

Can someone make this logo so it could fit a desktop? I think its really cool and am looking for one too.

got my tickets for me and my bro.hes GUNNER MAD here.we cant wait.gonna sort out the ferry crossing 2moz.and im glad motley crew arnt gonna be there.c yall there  :beer:

you bastards! Dammit i think this is the only time i have ever been pissed off to live in the US! I want to go :-[ :-[

come over to the UK coz ive got a spare bedroom.get the ferry to ireland wiv me n my bro.then when GNR play the US i will come over to urs  :beer:.

hahahah yea ill fly with my girlfriend and go to england i think i would be broke and a half after i bought the flight ticket.
But thanks for the offer  :beer:

theres a double bed in the spare room for both of ye if u change yer mind  :beer:.i just read on mygnr that madagascar88 (who apparently has a contact with dizzy) said that dizzy told him there will be no US leg of the tour.i cant prove him wrong or right but thats what he said.

Son of a bitch! Well i dont think this counts as a tour as much as jew some festival appearances. Some guys at a radio station come in to my fathers gun shop all the time il ask if the know anything about gnr coming to us. The better come   :'( :'(

i feel that if theres no US leg to this tour then there wont be an album with it.

Yea i mean how the hell can they put an album out and not tour the us. Not to sound like and american ass or anything either but it is hard to believe that. I think end of 06 beginning of 07 (latest) they will do sometihng in the US.

All it said is RIGHT NOW there is no US tour scheduled....doesn't mean it won't happen, just that there are no plans as of right now.

I agree. He will not tour here without an album to help support the tour. If Axl starts booking dates for asia, expect a repeat of 2002 with the only difference being that he doesn't perform here.

I remember all the GNR fans loving the prodigy at Leeds, Im a big fan anyway so I would love to see them there.

i doubt that a us tour promoter would book gnr as of right now.... so they`re doing ewurope first and after that america....

it?s as easy as this....

(http://gnrontour.com/sets2006/20060609ticket.jpg)

I would love to see Avenged Sevenfold open for GNR!!

LOL, look at the scan: no moshing... wtf??

hey guys i am from holland and we are planning the dublin gig.. but i have one question are pitch tickets standing tickets? and is the concert played in a arena or outside?? thanks

Hey is that extra bedroom still up for use? : ok:

i will make it to one of these shows

it doesn`t say "no photos".... wtf??

It's pretty impossible nowadays to stop that because a lot of people have camera equipped mobile phones....




/jarmo

does that mean they`ll allow digital cameras as well?

I think it's possible. I remember bringing a camera to certain venues in London.

At one show, they even asked me to show the camera to them, and then they let me in.



/jarmo

pitch = standing

its called the rds arena, but it is an outdoors venue.


edit: and also, security at gigs in dublin are usually pretty good about things like cameras. in fact i think ive only been searched once - at a stones show. there were searches carried out a radiohead show i went to but they told me i could pass on through cause they were having a smoke (but of course, i was already so stoned i just stood there in a crucifix pose waiting to be patted down). both those shows were at the point so maybe it wont be the same security.
then again, security may get a message from the gnr crew to be extra vigilant. but on the whole, security in the south at concerts is really second to none.

the crowds on the other hand are often terrible. servely lacking in atmosphere. only one concert down there ive truly enjoyed crowdwise was the stooges (actually i was searched at the stooges too, my bad, and that was the worst cause they took my last spliff - but maybe it was for the best with intensity of the stooges set). im predicting a similar sort of crowd for guns thankfully. though a lot of those attending are in for a shock - there are a lot of fairweather 'fans' going expecting the sweet child o mine and november rain without any idea of the likes of think about you, my michelle etc.

ive just thought of a great tshirt for this show.on the front it says "HERE TODAY GONE TO DUBLIN" and on the back it says "CHINESE DEMOCRACY=GUINESS-GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT" :beer:

look at the scan
no under 18, unless with somebody 21+, ID required.

oke thanks man

does someone now a good hotel near the  rds arena thanks

All questions about the gig itself should be posted in the thread dedicated to the show that you can find in the On Tour section.  : ok:


/jarmo

I thought the Dublin tickets went on sale last Saturday.  Anyone know how they sold?  If this is already a topic I am sorry.

I would not think, in an arena that seats 30k plus, that it will sell out until the night of the show.

One of my mates tried to get tickets today and he was told they were sold out so I guess they are. Thankfully I got mine early Saturday morning!

awsome. europe loves axl.....

Holy shit!!  Can someone confirm and cascade to the board!!!

No, Ticketmaster Ireland is still selling them:

http://www.ticketmaster.ie/artist/735218?tm_link=tm__g1&hot_ticket_brand=

Thanks? :)

i thought the idea of guns playing with motley crue was a horrible idea anyway...i never thought it would actually happen...axl would never agree to play in the same show with a shitty band like motley crue.  gnr is on a completely different level than crue...crue was a fad - a big hair band that was only successful because all shitty big-hair bands were successful in the 80's...

gnr is one of the few true rock bands to come out of the 80's and transcend their generation...

there are two kinds of successful bands...there are shitty bands that succeed only because they ride the bandwagon of a musical trend (like limp bizkit, etc.) only to be forgotten a few years later when people finally wake up and realize they suck.

then there are the truly great bands who will always be good...these are the true legends...bands that rise above the trends of their time to a different level...bands like gnr

well it seems that there aren`t that many tickets left right now... doen`t mean it`s sold out though...

How can you tell?

i just tried to but 10 tickets to see if it would let me, and yes it did let me so there are still tickets for this


as for the camera thing, my mate got a disposable camera taken of him, at this venue two years ago at the metallica gig

they still mention Motley Crue as opener??  Bad research for the article is my guess, but they kind of infer that tickets are gone, or nearly gone.  Can anyone comment?

Guns to blast Dublin

PERFORMANCES from rock giants Guns ?n' Roses have been few and far between in the last decade, so it is not surprising that tickets for their concert at the RDS, Dublin on Friday night, 9 June have been snapped up so quickly.

Guns ?n' Roses blasted onto the music scene in 1985 with their own ferocious brand of rock and roll and since then have been thrilling audiences the world over. Having already sold over 80 million records, Guns ?n' Roses are planning the release of a new studio album soon.


Guns N' Roses will be joined by special guests Motley Crue for the Irish show. Motley Crue pre-date Guns N' Roses by four years, and their biggest and most note-worthy album offering was 1989's "Dr. Feelgood". The new Motley Crue album "Carnival of Sins - Volumes 1`& 2" has just been released.

http://www.westernpeople.com/news/story.asp?j=29677

You're not the only one...

I fuckin' LOVE that word!!  :beer:

It looks likely Avenged Sevenfold will be replacing Motley Crue as the support act at the RDS in Dublin. Lots of people are saying here in Ireland. Interestingly, they played the Ambassador this week and my friend went along. He said they played the intro to Paradise City at one point. Afterwards, he went to meet the band. They were surrounded by 15 or 16-year old goths. My friend's about 20 and wearing normal clothes so he probably stood out so the lead singer asked my friend what he thought of the gig. Everyone else was licking their arses so my friend didn't want to do that so he just joked "It was ok, but it wasn't Guns n Roses". Anyway they were talking about the leaks, and the lead singer said he liked them, especially 'Catcher In The Rye'. Just thought you might wanna know. He asked about them playing the RDS, and he said it was possible but he couldn't confirm it yet. I'm not sure if it's such a good idea - I don't want loads of goths at a GnR gig!

I?d bet you?d rather have Mixmaster Mike and CKY...... :hihi:

I dont want any goths either!

Do ya think they'll draw a big crowd though??

Since AS is opening for GNR, people in the crowd will come to see GNR, not the opening act. I couldn't care less who's opening for GNR, just want to see the band.. So I don't think you have to worry about goths showing up, there will be mostly GNR fans.

Well, folks, those kid's are what we were fifteen years ago!  If the kid's are into Avenged Sevenfold, instead of another recycled hip-hop artisit, then that tell's me that they have their head on straight and I hope they get into GNR!!  Bring the Goth kid's, bring the punks, bring the hippies, bring the modern rock fans, bring the metal heads---this is Guns and Roses, a band built upon the fusion of different rock elements (classic rock, punk, and metal).

Well there are still quite a lot of tickets left as far as I know. Unless a new GnR album or single is released soon, they will probably need a good selling support act. Thing is Avenged Sevenfold just played a gig, so I don't know if people would pay e64.50 to see them again. And they are quite different so would people considering going to GnR but decide not to, would their mind be changed by A7X. Well, I don't know the answer to that question. I think there was something unique about GnR and Motley Crue together that would make people unsure about either band, think it worth their while because both are playing. Well, at least we won't have to worry about Axl having any personal issues with the support band coz they are massive fans! From my point of view, I don't really like A7X, but I won't be too worried about that.

ahmen  :beer:

I think it's awesome that A7X could be supporting GN'R in Europe. Maybe when they tour the states A7X will support them there too.

I think it would be awesome if Axl joined A7X on stage for a performance of "I won't  see you tonight part 1" I could see it happening.

how are tickets selling at all these venues?

The Irish Examiner said that tickets were going fast?  The show is a long way's away, I would imagine it will be nearly a sellout by the concert date.  Can we get any information on how sales havve been for the RDS event???

bump.  Does anyone know if there will be tickets available for this show if one would have to wait until May to purchase tickets?

I heard this place seats 30,000? If so, might be ok... dunno if they'll sell that much.

Also, in North America, venues often hold blocks of tickets to release at later dates. This fucks over scalpers. In Toronto in 2002, the show was "sold out" prior to the day of the show. On the day of the show, they released the last block of tickets (one section). They did this a few weeks before the show also (another section opens up).

Of course if you're traveling, day-of tickets aren't going to help you. But you might get lucky either from the size of the venue or the way tickets are released - if it's a similar system. Might not be, I've never been across the pond.

I won't know until May, if my schedule will open up to go to the show!!  I am though very curious, as to how many tickets are left, as I wonder if they might move pretty quick with the announcement of Avenged Sevenfold on the ticket?  This place seats 30,000, and it seems that all of the seats are sold out, so how big is the lawn area?

Im sure i read somewhere when buying my tickets for this that Motley Crue were playing also?

Now i cant find anything on this apart from the other opening acts which have just been announced? Does anyone know anything else, like if motley crue are still playing, or if they pulled out or if i just seemed to imagine this?

thanks

They were originally announced to be playing, then it looks as though the promotor jumped the gun or something because it was announced it was incorrect. Not sure what happened there.

According to Aiken Promotions, the Irish promoter, Bullet For My Valentine and To My Surprise are opening for GN'R in Dublin on June 9th.
Fans going to the Stockholm, Sweden show on June 26th will be able to see Bullet For My Valentine and Avenged Sevenfold as the opening acts.

ok not sure where to post this so please dont delete it.
i have 3 tickets for this fridays show in dublin as some friends have pulled out-bastards!
i only want face value for them maybe even a little less if u make me an offer-or i am willing to sell the tickets seperatly so please ask!!
these are standing tickets so you will at the front to see the boys!!!
MANY THANKS.

Therapy? are also playin at this. This band are from N.Ireland have been around awhile and would be popular with the locals. I think they are there to keep the older crowd happy.

therapy? are headlining the second stage. in reality it would mean that they clash with gnr. in gnr reality...

Therapy will be finished by the time GNR come on. this thing isn't as big as Download in the UK Metallica are playing two days later so they added a few extra bands and called it a festival. Theres a day in between with no bands playing that makes it two seperate concerts in my book.
