Here Today... Gone To Hell!

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/guns-n-roses-added-to-governors-ball-20130207

Awesome news !! Hopefully it's the start of shows being announced for the US this summer !!!

awesome ! i wish you could just buy a ticket for the night they are going to perform tho ! ah well

Haha I love how the only video available for them is the It's So Easy live video from Live Era and the Governor's Ball radio options for GNR are Welcome to the Jungle, Civil War and November Rain.  I am not a fan of Randall's Island, but I might make an exception.

do you expect them to preview Prostitute and Shacklers? ha

i live 15 minutes away from Randalls Island... so theres no way that i CANT go... but it is a big expense considering i only want to see Axl 

definitely a wide array of talent at this event...

Cool news.

Definitely not a heavy metal festival.

Nice to see GN'R at a festival outside of the hard rock/heavy metal genre.





/jarmo

Nah I really don't expect that, but I would have found a live clip of the new band to show instead of that ISE video (even though I like the video a lot). 

I live on the Lower East Side, so this is not far for me either, but I don't know that I can justify spending that much money for this. 

AMAZING !!!!

http://governorsballmusicfestival.com/

 :D

yeah it is all over the place.  This festival is exactly like Metallica's "Orion" festival, packed with Brooklyn style hipster bands.  That seems to be the approach for a lot of these festivals, and while I am not a fan of any act on the bill other than GNR , I am a big fan of them playing a festival like this.  I already know there is going to be some negativity regarding GNR playing this event, but who cares?  It is something new and different, its exciting.  My only thing is do I pay the $220 now or do I risk waiting to see if they have single day tickets?  Not sure yet.

Hopefully there will be some "warm up shows" in the NY area...

Guess I'm going to NYC June 7, 8, and 9th. 

+1 on that. or some warm-up shows across the USA in early spring to let all the fans see GNR in an outside environment in their local area!


was talking to a person today about this... looking at the progression of the line-up it was a hipster > hipster/mainstream > all kinds of acts over the past few years.

I loved Orion last year in AC - had a great time with all kinds of stuff to do and great bands to see. I think you will see festivals take this route in the future to branch out and reach a wider audience. not only does Governor's Ball appeal to the hipsters, but also the rock fans now with GNR.

there's been quite the backlash on the FB page of the festival with fans angry about GNR - but being unbias, I can see exactly why (in my opinion) the festival did this and why GNR agreed to do it.

hopefully this is a part of a larger tour not just a one off this summer!



p.s.  :drool: :drool: over thought of Guns throwing together an Orion-like festival in Atlantic City.

LOL  such a weird line up!   Good shit!...... :hihi:

Definitely want to go but they better put out some single day tickets I can't spend $220 cause GN'R is the only band on the bill I like.

I had a feeling that GN'R would be focusing on the US this summer, maybe I'm right?. This is fantastic news, and it's even more sweeter that GN'R are closing this festival which has so much talent and worldwide names performing.  8)

Me too!  I am only interested in seeing guns!  I bet we will be able to buy a day pass, as oppose to a 3 day pass as it gets closer.

Bonnaroo... Lollapalooza.

Some other options for GNR! : ok:

Guns, NYC, over my wedding Anniversary weekend.....

I AM IN!

GREG

Ps Sexkitten....are you holding out for day passes.....can we have a place to crash?

This is great news I would love to take my son but would need a lower cost to attend it is too much but maybe they will play Hammerstein or MsG too I can go to that. 

If single day tickets are up for sale, I'll probably go. Although I would like to see GNR perform at Metlife Stadium.

I'd be willing to bet single day tickets go on sale after the 3-days are sold.

yeah I will wait for single day tickets.

Don't know, NY is usually the start of a European tour.  Might be coming over for the summer.

I think it's the third year. I don't know if they were doing single day tickets. They call it Governors Ball because it had originally been on Governors Island.

Anyhow, it's been used for festivals for a long time. I'll see if I can find a few shows that happened there.

This one's from the New York Pop Festival, 1970. The festival did not go over well because they set part of the field on fire. This is a pretty rare clip.

Guns N’ Roses On Governors Ball Lineup

The hard-working rock band becomes the festival’s third headliner, joining Kanye West and Kings Of Leon.  Scheduled for early June in New York City, The Governors Ball will also include Nas, Pretty Lights, The Avett Brothers, Grizzly Bear and others.

Scheduled for June 7-9 on Randall’s Island, the Governors Ball Music Festival will also host The xx, Cut Copy, Beach House, Kendrick Lamar, The Lumineers, Animal Collective, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Feist, Young The Giant, Thievery Corporation, Japandroids and Beirut.  While it’s too early to start talking about the festival’s daily schedules, words from promoter Founders Entertainment is that the day-to-day breakdowns will probably be released in May.

But regardless of the schedule, Guns N’ Roses’ Axl Rose appears to be very excited about the gig.  Yes, the exclamation points were really flying when the rocker talked about his newest booking.

“We’re stoked to be performing at the Governors Ball!” Rose exclaimed.  “We’re all really excited in GNR to be part of this festival, and with such talented and diverse acts in what looks to be a great weekend!!”

Beginning as a one-day festival in 2011, Governors Ball expanded to two days in 2012 and is doing three days of world class-performers this year.

Although early bird and advanced price tickets sold out within five minutes of going on sale in January, three-day regular price GA tickets and VIP packages are currently on sale.  Click here for more information.

Change.org has started a petition to get GN'R removed from the festival, how bizarre. ???  I read about it in a New York publication.

Petitioning Tom Russell

Founders Entertainment LLC: Remove Guns N' Roses from the lineup for The Governors Ball Music Festival

Petition byDrew Salinger NY

We, the undersigned, agree that while The Governors Ball Music Festival has accrued an excellent selection of bands, musicians, and artists for its 2013 lineup, it has one fatal flaw: The presence of Guns N' Roses. While this band was already unfavorably viewed by many when it first started making music, it has become even more of a shell of its former self in the absence of every original member barring Axl Rose. The latter, one of the most frustratingly inconsistent performers of the modern era, is known best for his inconsiderate treatment of audience members and unprofessional behavior in general. As devoted fans of Governors Ball, we ask you to withdraw your offer to Guns N' Roses to perform at this year's festival and instead support talented musicians who care about their work and respective followings.

Wow that shit is crazy....

Is this a bunch of hipsters protesting that a real rock n' roll band was added to a NYC festival?

Oh the horror.


If we were living in the 1960s or 1970s, a bunch of the most influential bands wouldn't have been booked to this festival either. If it was up to these people. The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Sex Pistols, Led Zeppelin and so on all were "unfavorably viewed by many" as well.




/jarmo

Where was that posted?  I think Drew owes Axl and this band an apology.

Why should the guy apologize? It's just his opinion... Don't take things so seriously

I just hope it goes well for GNR.

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw the lineup:  hipsters.

Have to say that sometimes it's funny to see the stupid criticisms that people make. For instance, at the Bridge School show I heard a guy say, "Axl is fat and bald now." When I turned around around I saw the guy, and he was both fat and bald.   :D

I wonder how many of the people in uproar have actually seen the band live vs how many are responding based on prejudices.

Ali

Not just his opinion when he starts a petition directed at someone's employer. 

And his opinion about Axl and the band not caring about the fans and the music they make is not based on anything any band member has said in any of the interviews, tweets, posts, performances ect coming from them.  If he talked to them personally, I don't think he wouldn't have that opinion.  He owes them an apology and everybody else he tried to influence with his misinformation.

And I didn't take him seriously, I just feel bad the band has to read that shit.

I just sent the petitioner a message , basically schooling him on GNR, I suggest as many as possible do the same , let him know how foolish he really is.

Send him a link to 'Get in the ring'.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: hahaha

The festival isn't really a hard rock or metal fest, so I think people are more up in arms about having hard rock being played at what I understand is a relatively softer festival. I wanna go to the show but I'm only going if single day tickets are released. I would hate it if I was there to enjoy some ass kicking music and all the petition signers acted like assholes in the crowd.   :(

The closed-mindedness I see from some of the Governor's Ball fans or attendees is quite absurd.  Some have even taken video from an off-night and tried present that as what will undoubtedly be seen at the show.  Talk about confirmation bias.

Ali

This is par for the course when it comes to hipsters and people from that Brooklyn "indie scene."  They think every successful band is shit except for Radiohead.  They are the most arrogant music fans on earth and only care about shit local bands that have been around since last weekend.  If a band has been around for more than a week it isn't cool to like them anymore.  They are the most closed minded and MISERABLE people that I have ever been around.  They suck.

I am opinionated on music, I say when I think a band sucks, but I would never try to get a band removed from the bill of a show I am going to, who the hell has time for that?  If you don't like the headliner there is an easy solution, leave early.

Well said. Even if I didn't like the band I wouldn't bitch as much as those people. I certainly would try and get a band kicked off a bill.

Ali

Music snobs have always been around. People make petitions for all sorts of crap, it's not enough to get a band kicked off because a handful of people felt like bitching about it. Surprised they're not trying to get Kanye kicked off the bill.

Metal was "indie", but no one ever went around calling it "indie metal". "Indie label" used to mean "front for the mafia".

Yeah, who the fuck do they think they are

GNR are the best live band in the world

I bet most people who signed this aren't even going

this is gnr support petition...lets support gnr

https://www.change.org/petitions/tom-russel-founders-entertainment-llc-stop-tom-russell-from-removing-guns-n-roses-from-the-governors-ball-2

They should duct tape that guy with his anti Gnr petition stuffed in his mouth to a GNR amp for the full set that day.

Hipsters:

the absolute -worst- social group to emerge since... old school hipsters. Not cool then, not cool now; douche bag level: 100%.

Got a reply from the hipster who started that hate petition..lol It made me laugh...

"Re: Stupid Statements

Thanks for your channeled hate man! To be honest I don't particularly care, I just despise everything that Axl Rose stands for. He's a homophobic, racist, washed up asshole who ruins everything he touches. Slash was the only talented member of that band, and he's gone now. I'm petitioning, so deal with it."

I find it funny cause I am a gay guy, and so I had to rely again, to this dumbass.

So when is Axl's lawyer filing against this chucklehead for making a slanderous statement?

Be happy to help in that cause!

Now boys, it only adds fuel to the fire if you start exchanging insults with this guy.  How about if you educate him on what you think Axl stands for based on the evidence you've found instead of what this person thinks based on the news stories, rumors and various other trash he's built his opinion on?

ahhhhh who cares ???

any reputation Axl Rose has.... he created for himself...

its not alllll lies and media nonsense.....

but all of it makes him the kick ass rockstar that he is and is part of why we all first liking GNR to begin with

if some loser from Brooklyn doesnt like him... i dont give a shit

Good lord, better yet who cares?  GNR are playing, everyone knows the band's history so there are no surprises.  This is such a non-story and anyone who gets worked up over it is as bad as the guy who started the petition.  Just make fun of him for being a Prius driving vegan hipster who grows his own shitty vegetables from his 2nd story apartment window and move on.  

Haha! Guns N Roses are STILL getting people's noses out of joint! Brilliant!

That's never changed, has it? People complained about them in the 80s, they're still complaining now! They SHOULD be complaining about Kings Of Leon- the most boring live act on the planet!

Sure go ahead remove GN'R from this shitty bill and have them play down the road at the new Barclay Center!! Go ahead Wake the Sleeping Giant, Piss off the Big Dog and the Machine known as GN'R will show Brooklyn how the big boys do it!!

I think GNR on the bill is excellent publicity.

The funny thing is, that's the same place where Metallica did Lollapalooza, and I think there was the same reaction from concertgoers.

Honestly this is a badge of honor that GNR are not being accepted by some of the concert goers here.  There is nothing rebellious or punk rock about this festival, its a bunch of critic darlings,  I don't want closed minded people liking my favorite band, which I guess makes me kind of closed minded, oh well.

Lets start our on petition to get GN'R off of this dirt field festival and playing a headlining gig elsewhere in Brooklyn or NYC on that very night...I previously mentioned the Barklay Center..I picture Axl coming out in a Jackie Roninson Brooklyn Dogers jersey after an intro of the Beatie Boys A Letter to NYC and NO Sleep till Brooklyn.

That guy is an asshole, a typical busy body who can't stand a proper rock n' roll band being on the bill. He needs to shut his mouth and let people enjoy GN'R, which they undoubtedly will. The organisers are loving the press this losers bringing to the festival, that's why they booked Guns, to get the festival more attention... So this idiot is wasting his own time in this tirade.  :P

Not that it really matter but this is what i replied .


RE: Re: Stupid Statements

Your funny, I am a gay man, I have seen the band 25+ times since 87 , I have met all the guys in the band including Axl over the yrs, old and new, and you are so further from the truth if you think you know anything, Slash quit, Axl still plays with Duff, Izzy, the band now is far more superior live than anything out there. You can petition but it won't change a damn thing. Ill be at the show enjoying every moment. !!!

Peace dude , get some facts before you make claims.

I just find it amusing that the same people who protest for equality on all issues are the same people who protest these kinds of things. I thought there was freedom of speech in this country. They seem to think that freedom of speech only applies to what they believe in.

I was just going to mention that. Everyone said Lollapalooza was no longer cool when Metallica headlined. I know some people who complained 4 or 5 years ago that Bonnaroo was no longer an all hippie jam band festival. Of course these same people now like dubstep or whatever the current flavor of the week is. You'll never please the hipsters. Tell this guy to enjoy Grizzly Bear and the XX and talk to GNR fans in 10 years when no one remembers who these bands were.

Also, I find it very ironic when the most closed minded people around act as the racism and homophobia police.

That or get them to play at Metlife Stadium this summer. Actually, wouldn't it be great if Guns were to play in the halftime show of the Super Bowl at Metlife Stadium? I would love that!!!!

Damn straight!  NFL teams have been playin' Jungle for yeeears.  It's about time the world gets to see it live!   :yes:

I'm quite sure this version of the group is not what the superbowl is looking for ... Doesn't have that mass apeal

But would be cool as hell

Check out the weather in NJ during and the week after this past Super Bowl...Awful idea to be playing it in NJ because the weather is solo unpredictable..

This will be another success for GN'R, no doubt. Guns will win over the crowd, just like they always do. You are always going to get critics when it comes to GN'R, but that's what makes them so special... Because they always end on top.  ;D

what night are they playing?!?!??!!?! :peace: :peace: :peace: :peace: :peace: :peace:

anyone hear anything about single day tickets yet? I am assuming GNR are playing the Sunday night, at least thats what it looks like.

GNR website says June 8th.... Saturday.

single days will likely go on sale closer to the date as they do for ALL festivals.

oh cool thanks, thats even better.   Yeah I have never purchased a single ticket to a festival before I always just buy the weekend pass, so I'm not familiar with it.  A festival has to have a lot of shitty bands for me not to buy the 3 day pass..... :hihi:

I'll be going all three, the girlfriend likes some of the other bands so we'll be there all weekend.

I've found with Coachella, Firefly, Lolla... etc. as long as the tickets don't go overboard sell out when first on sale - they release single days a few months before hand.

I'm sure some people will be selling off tickets/passes on Craigslist and Stubhub.

I don't remember the area being super big or anything when I went to Lollapalooza there. That and Central Park are probably the two places in the NY area that have had concert fests the longest in America.

Wonder if GNR are going to do a summer shed tour, the outdoor amphitheaters, or stick to the ball courts and hockey rinks. The only problem is that some of those venues are near residences, and the cities have the curfew crap...





 

I have heard the sheds are very stringent on curfews.

Fingers crossed for some NY "Warm Up" shows or a tour.. I personally do not like Fedtivals...

The Governors Ball Music Festival - "Single day passes will be out soon, hang in there!"

nice!

Will be interesting to see what the line up on GN'R's day will be like...



/jarmo

Jarmo are they confirmed for Saturday the 8th?

According to the band's official web site.

But since the festival hasn't announced their schedule yet, we can't be 100% sure...


Kings of Leon have the 7th listed on their site, so we know that's not GN'R's date....

Gov Ball NYC ‏@GovBallNYC

Only 984 3Day GA tix left! Once these sell out, only single day tix will remain. Single day tix go on sale on FRIDAY - 11am EST.

Hopefully they'll also announce the line ups for each day....

Apparently headliners get a 90 minute slot.




/jarmo

Governors Ball Producers did a Q/A on Reddit yesterday...

http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1bli0p/iam_the_promoterproducer_of_the_governors_ball/

Confirmed Kanye is closing the festival on June 9th so that leaves GNR on the 8th!

Also...

Governors Ball FB:
3 DAY TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT. Single Day Tickets go on sale TOMORROW (Friday), at 11am EST. The by-day lineup will be released tomorrow as well.

How do you guys think Guns are going to be treated by fans at this festival?  Based on the majority of the lineup, its going be mostly a bunch of douchy hipsters who may have little tolerance for Axl.  I live in the area, and am thinking about getting a one day ticket, but honestly not sure I want to spend that kind of money when I don't really have much interest in seeing any of the other bands. Kind of feel like most classic hard rock fans may skip out too.  As we know, there's plenty of hatred for Axl out there.  On the other hand, this is really a chance to change minds and blow some of the doubters and haters away.  Hope it turns out well.

People have always been afraid of stuff that's not in their "comfort zone".

So the ballsiest thing this festival did this year was to book GN'R, and some of their fans started whining about it.

Wow!  :confused: Guns going on after 2 rappers, if indeed that is the correct order of artists. Looks like a very diverse lineup that day.

I think they have multiple stages. So some of those acts might overlap.





/jarmo

I think it's great :)  U attending Jarmo?  Anyone know how long GN'R set might be?

This is on Randall's Island. I've attended a few concert/festivals there over the years. Odds are 99% there is just ONE stage.

And this is NOT to whine and bitch, I'm just being real: getting to the island and then getting to the show/concert area is a trek. Vehicular traffic is always a bitch interboro. The shuttle buses from 125th are somewhat okay, but waiting around and piling on the buses are a bitch. And once you get on the island, where the buses drop you off, it's still a walk to the concert area. Bottom line, add at least 30-45 minutes minimum to getting to the show depending on the time of day and where you're coming from.

And don't get me started on leaving. The later you are in the evening, the bigger the clusterfuck. Up on Lexington, 1-2-5......

Upside, yes, GNR and its fanbase, definitely out of it's comfort zone. Hit or miss.

Downside, last band on. Getting out of there. Weather.

Oh me? Not going. Too poor, too old.

Now get off my lawn.

2 stages for this show look here http://governorsballmusicfestival.com/info/festival-info/ and look under ADA info

"There are ADA Access Viewing Platforms located at each of the two stages."

so Jarmo is correct that some of these bands may overlap

It's common sense. How do you fit 22 acts on the same stage on the same day?

There's 24 hours in a day.  ;)






/jarmo

booya!  Exactly

justin. You going down for this one. wonder if we will have more shows in the area or a visit to up north to Canada

Yes I am going to the show, I hope they come up here as well but one never knows!

good for you.....could be an interesting one but good for GNR on taking this one on....maybe see u down there...went down for one of the ucap gigs and loved NYC. Lets hope for some canadian shows...Montreal b4 Ontario of course...lol. Take care

each headliner gets 90 minutes with strict 11PM curfew.

Caan't rember the last 90 min GNR show I went to, oh wait I can, a handfull in the 80s.lol I want to go, gonna try my best, funds so scarce atm, but hmm really haven't missed GNR shows when they are in my backyard!.

Alright, I'm going to look into attending this one since I've never been to NYC....

Anyone else looking at VIP tickets - or had VIP tickets in the past at a festival?  Do you think it's worth it?  How much better will the viewing area be? Would it be worth it if you value not waiting in line for alcohol / clean washrooms?

Interesting to see how this all pans out. No way will they only do a 90 minute set, and inevitably the crows will want them to fail, so it could be a lively one! I'd definitely go if I lived remotely near (I'm in England) to see how it goes down. Having said that I was there the last time they played the Leeds festival over here and it was hard work. The band played well, but the crowd were fucking terrible. Full of posers and dicks who had no enthusiasm seemingly for anything all day, let alone Guns N Roses. It was like being in a field of mannequins!

Weirdest thing though was the amount of people in GNR 'fashion'  shirts (You know, the ones people buy from fashion chains that are made to look old already, who have no interest in the band but want to look 'rock n roll') that clearly hadn't even watched them! As I was leaving I saw people coming out of other tents wearing them! Beggars belief really.

Anyway, I digress. I'd go if I was in the area- it's a GNR show, and let's face it, one way or another they're NEVER dull!

I saw Lolaloplooza there years ago..Multiple stages setup in a large dirt field..There was stadium searing along the main stage...Overall it was an awful concert experience..Multiple trains in the NY summer heat, than shuttle busing..All went smooth but it was still a hassle to get to.. Than to sit through hours of numerous genres of music that don't interest me to wait for the headliner, I couldn't wait for it to end..Can't believe GN'R are playing in my area and I'm not psyched!! I hope they play some NY "warm up" shows..

Much Rappers Fanatic Of GN'R In The History

 :smoking:

yeah same here, some unforeseen circumstances the past few weeks have wiped out my funds as well, which sucks cause I was literally counting down the days till single tickets went on sale and I never miss a GNR show when they are in the area.  I will try my best to make it happen, hopefully they don't sell out too quickly.

Why get there to wait all day?  Just get in around 8pm and muscle your way to the front whenever GNR is about to start. 

If they do keep the sets to 90 minutes, it'll definitely be different from regular GN'R shows.

I think the closest we've been to that kind of set lengths recently would be the acoustic/surprise shows...




/jarmo

This. Maybe it's old age, but even though I'm in the city I've no interest in this cluster-F - venue's a pain in the ass, and I have no idea who any of the other performers are on that Saturday schedule, so can't even imagine the lousy mood I'd be in by the time GN'R came on.

Now, give me a club show the Friday before, and I'm all in. Or another Vegas show - I'd sooner hop a flight across the country than deal with a summer festival show in my own backyard.

I am also debating whether or not I am going.  I will likely not decide until the week of the show.  For one those tickets are pretty steep and although I can afford it I am going to see if I can scalp them cheap the week of. 

Is there a chance GN'R is bowing out of this show? The only reason I ask is that I'm hearing rumors that Aerosmith might be added to the bill. Seems to me like there's not much room for another big act unless one needed to cancel (Aerosmith would be a pretty plausible alternative to GN'R, rather than Kings of Leon or Kanye). Just a rumor concerning Aerosmith at the moment, though...nothing more.

Where did you hear that? I haven't heard anything like that about GN'R.

Edit: In fact, I asked Fernando and was told it's not true.





/jarmo

Well...again, I said the rumor that I heard was that Aerosmith might be added to the bill...that's all I heard. Just makes me wonder where they'd fit a big name act like that when the festival has its headliners set to go. If it's true, perhaps they'll play the same night as GN'R and they'll bump Nas before Kayne. Just speculation...nothing more.  :peace:

There's no evidence of them being added to the bill.




/jarmo

I googled "Aerosmith Governor's Ball New York" and came up with zip so your "rumor" isn't even on the Internet which isn't the beacon of truth to begin with.

Jarmo just confirmed this to me - he said he can't wait to hear GNR perform his favorite song from Poison: "Every Rose Has It's Thorn".

 :beer:

 :-\ Same show?

Joey Kramer - Aerosmith

Another U.S date to be announced soon..

This summer... Hmmm where is Randall's Island ?

15h

https://twitter.com/joeykramer

There's no evidence of them being added to this festival.





/jarmo

Maybe Fernando hasn't heard about it yet?  They seem to be playing there at some point this summer, according to Joey Kramer.  Maybe on a different night or at a different festival, but I only see two?

I guess we'll know soon enough.

Let me ask you this. If a band says they'll play the same venue as GN'R in the summer, is it immediately assumed they'll be playing on the same day or weekend as GN'R?

The festival announced their third headliner weeks ago and it's GN'R.



/jarmo

"Another U.S date to be announced soon.. Hint #motorcycles"  that is the full tweet.  Don't sound the same when the complete tweet is copy and pasted.

Ok, I stand corrected. There is some rumor out there. The motorcycles hint makes me think Sturgis but that's obviously not near Randall's Island.

They are announcing 2 new summer dates.

I didn't assume anything.

I just posted that Joey Kramer, of Aerosmith, says they are playing Randall's Island this summer.  I said, maybe on a different night or at a different festival but I only see two -- we'll find out soon enough.

Look...you know how you have your "insiders" here at HTGTH? Well, I have heard from "insiders" from the Aerosmith camp that they will be playing Stugis in August as well as MGM in CT. on July 7th. This "insider" (who happens to be just as respected as Jarmo in the Aerosmith fan community) claims he "jumped the gun" by posting this this morning. We'll see if it comes to fruition. The reason why I simply asked if there was any BUZZ about any cancellations, etc. was because this "insider" also said to look out for an Aerosmith announcement regarding The Governor's Ball Festival on Randall's Island. He's be asked (probably by the band...as he often has) to delete his comments regarding ANY of this info (which he did, shortly after he posted it). However, the Joey Kramer tweet is telling, perhaps.

For anyone wondering this event is all ages : ok:

Guns N' Roses For New Generations & All Music Styles !!!

RLZ

Wish I could go to this, the 1500 vip package for the weekend looks like a steal

Looks like I will be going after all ! Thanks to a a friend abroad :)

If I lived anywhere even remotely close to this, and certainly anywhere near NY, I would be all over this. So what if it's a festival, sometimes they can be better than arena shows if the atmosphere is right. I always view festivals as like a team kind of mentality, where your team "GN'R" are going up against all of the others, and they always win and blow all of the other's offstage.  : ok:

I said to myself I would make the trip from UK the next time GN'R played NYC, however I can't decide on this. In my mind there is nothing worse than seeing your favourite band when large amounts of the audience is not into them. Also I'm all for diverse line ups but this one does not work in my opinion.

I like a crowd with passion that jumps up and down and gets sweaty. My feeling is that this is a rare occurrence in New York though.

Do we know how long GN'R will play??

I wonder if Axl and co. will do any "secret" shows the week before, i would hope so. Axl will most definitely be in the city for at least that whole week. looking forward to June 8th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think someone mentioned earlier that headliners have 90 minutes each... not sure how strictly this will be adhered to....

I believe the organizers said headliners get 90 minutes.

Hopefully there's some kind of flexibility considering festivals do happen to run behind schedule....




/jarmo

And they could have sorted that out whilst being in NY lately?  ;) I like your thinking.

I'd be tempted to fly over for there own show in the NYC providing work commitments would allow.

http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2013/05/governors_ball_15.html

This website shows a schedule for the Governors Ball.  I don't like how some of the bigger acts are matched up against each other - I think when it comes to the final handful of big names for the day - the set times should be alternating, so you get a chance to see all of them.

Anyways, my problem here is that I'm a fan of Nas and have never seen him live.  He's matched up directly with Guns.  Do I take the chance that Guns don't come out on time & hopefully catch both acts (or at least a few songs by Nas)?  I probably won't get much sympathy here as most of you probably don't give a f*#k about rap music.   :hihi:

I might need someone who's attending to text me when they hit the stage so I can run over!

NAS Is The Leyend !!!

I like... Rulez Nas !!!

 :smoking:

Yes, that is the problem.



ha, just messing with you.  I would be shocked if GNR came out right on time, you could probably get away with catching some of both if you don't mind missing a few GNR songs, I am assuming you have seen GNR before.  I have done stuff like that at festivals before, it usually works out.

can't wait for weekend in NYC and GN'R, gonna be hipster hunting all day! we need a great crowd!!! 4 weeks away!!!  :peace:

Wow I am surprised that Nas is at the same time as GNR.  Nas is quite awesome.  The World Is Yours is an epic tune. 

No Tickets

Damn!!! Was gonna buy tickets today, cant believe its sold out!!!

Anyone have extra tickets to sell???

 :crying:

Can we hurry the f*** up and get to this show please. Why is it taking so long??!!!

So are we stuck on the island post show waiting for the ferry for hours?? Is it possible to swim to Manhattan?

Time to bring Oh My God back I think. This Rio 01 version is a blast.

fellow Gunners this is going to be a great night! looking forward to being in the city all weekend! I will be wearing a vintage GNR/Metallica shirt from the 1992 tour! hope to see you all there we sure will be standing out amongst the hipsters and dancing weirdos!

Totally agree, Oh My God needs to return. The rehearsal from Rio 2011 also sounded killer, this needs to return ASAP!!!...  8)

Approximately 2 weeks away, warm up shows are looking unlikely..

Just got an e-mail that they are having a lottery for some additional GA tickets - sign up!

??

They are going on a 7-show tour leading up to the festival, starting today

Eventbirte is taking registrations for  lottery to win the chance to buy single day or 3 day event pass for the GOV ball, so if you didn't get tix and want a chance at face value, here is a link to register..  http://governorsballmusicfestival.com/tickets/

I meant intimate club shows during some downtime prior to the Govenors Ball..But the shows show in Dallas will hopefully provide some quality close up videos..

Got tickets WOOHOO 10 days away!!!
Gonna be weird seeing them do only 90 min after all those 3 hour Vegas shows, but I still can't wait!!!

Any of you know if any of the other bands are good/worth checking out?

So glad you found a ticket!  : ok:  what time Are you heading over on sat?

Agree, been hoping 2 hear this live again :yes:

In order for OMG to be played something must be dropped...there's other songs I'd prefer, (Sorry,CW,Bad Obsession,Down on the Farm,SOD etc) not sure where OMG lands on my list. regardless it's still a great set!!

IDK yet, freaking out now about Brooklyn Bowl tickets!!!

I have. Feeling GNR will play past the curfew and I hope they do !!! Can't wait !!

It's been a rainy day here in NYC today. The weather is not what you want for an outdoor festival.

I hope everything is ok for Icona Pop and GNR tomorrow.

Did anyone go to the festival today?

Awful weather.. And the mud / muddy waters were ridiculous... Even if the weather sorts itself out tomorrow, I have a feeling its still going to be a messy day!

Kings of Leon's set got cancelled last night. The weather was to severe and it was pulled by the organisers. Hope all is better for guns.

That sucks.  I've seen the kings twice live.  Like their vibe.  : ok:

Weather is sunny and beautiful this morning in NYC. Should make for a great show tonight.

Lookalike a beautiful day foran outside concert..sunny w/ a cool breeze...looking forwardmtomsomefootage and the set list from tonight's GN'R performance!!

Gonna be an amazing day !!!! Ill be the 6'4 tall skinny guy in summer of 92 GNR Metallica shirt

I wonder if anyone from the band went to bet on the horses today....

the only good thing about this day is GNR playing in 3 hours... day has been shit so far for us.

Dude, you should be here. Here with sexkitten in a bar called Pinetree Lodge near the ferry terminal, she is doing ok, only had 5 or 6 drinks. We are looking forward to the show y'all.

Axl sounded insane literally won over everyone amazing night

GNR were great - talked to many people on the way out and they loved the show.

hope we will see some great publicity from it!

Amazing. heres my review, all I can say is everyone who wasn't a GNR fan per say was Insanely into Axl and the band! Im a Gunner for life and I was close middle stage, everyone around me had a BALL. great time by all! so great to see Axl take over a young crowd

@cotis everyone was so impressed it was insane. GNR and Axl won over the whole crowd   :beer:

no 4tus solo ???

That is so wonderful!~ :beer: :smoking: :love: :hihi:

Just read the New York Times article on Governors Ball. They gave a good review of GNR.

http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/06/09/after-the-rain-a-night-of-rock/

NY times review

 :beer: hope everyone had a blast!

That is a great review, seems like a GN'R show for the books. All the reports I've been hearing as well seems to indicate that everyone was rocking with the band, and a brilliant show ensured in NYC. I love it when a show is as successful as this, especially since it was a festival date as well.

Looks like eveone was into it. Wasn't this the show that noone attending wanted them to attend?

yeah, it's always the vocal minority that makes the most noise.

Yea... I mean, if u didnt want to see GNR, all u had to do was go watch NAS... Very simple... Btw, NAS its actually my fav rapper, but NOONE comes before GNR. I rarely listen to hiphop anyways...

Sounds like it was a really cool show..I like to hear people change their minds about the band!  One funny guy on Twitter says he "takes back everything he ever said about the band".  I hope anyone who was there could catch guitar picks because from the photos if you don't actually catch them they probably get buried in the mud mess.  A good crowd, lucky if you were there!

Nice to hear that they went over well with a broader audience.  The iron is hot. Would love to see Axl win when all is said and done.

Gun N' Roses Bring Hard-Rock Theatrics to Governors Ball
Axl Rose and company rise above the muddy field with an arsenal of hits

Read more: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/gun-n-roses-bring-hard-rock-theatrics-to-governors-ball-20130609#ixzz2VmS2hr6R
Follow us: @rollingstone on Twitter | RollingStone on Facebook It took an act of God at Governors Ball on Friday ? an assailing, miserable rainstorm and frightening flooding ? to create a miracle on Saturday night. And yet one happened, it really did.

Axl Rose started a show early.

Indeed, the Guns N' Roses frontman bucked his own proud tradition of intractability ? one that has led to countless hours of empty stages and show delays since the band?s 1985 formation ? by taking the New York festival?s main stage seven minutes before the headlining band?s scheduled start. What?s more, Rose actually appeared engaged with his surroundings; he and his hard-rock cohorts barreled straight into the largely under-30s audience with a throaty and joyously grandiose introduction of "Chinese Democracy" (title track of the hysterically overlabored 2008 album), unleashing flames from the drum riser as Rose slid into that famed falsetto with impressive ease. From there, the band kept no cards at their chests; their second song was their career-maker, 1987?s "Welcome to the Jungle," delivered with the revelation of their entire arsenal of stadium tricks, the silly staples of the hair-metal era that they rightly make no apologies for: the videos of scantily clad dancers, the double-necked guitars, the liberal stage fireballs and fireworks, even that snake dance.

10 Things Duff McKagan Learned on the Summer Festival Circuit

Guns N? Roses nonchalantly played all the hits for the mud-caked Governors Ball masses, and kicked in early with a slew of Appetite for Destruction immortals. "It?s So Easy" boasted even more fireworks (those were frequent enough in the set to double as kick drums) as Rose dipped down an octave-and-change with aplomb. (He truly does sound great, still, even if he insists on wearing cheesy t-shirts of women with cartoonish bare breasts. Or perhaps these are his Samson-esque source of vocal strength.) "Mr. Brownstone" slid sludgily into their stalwart 1991 cover of Paul McCartney and Wings? "Live and Let Die," fireballs roaring from the stage again. Then came the short sprint into "Rocket Queen," which boasted an extremely Eighties video montage of models gyrating in leather and fishnets before a stark white backdrop, and a comfortable spin through "Sweet Child o? Mine" that was matched by the audience?s rapturous participation. (Lead guitarist DJ Ashba, clad in a familiar top hat, sported a distinct "I crushed that" smirk at the end of "Child." Rose, as always, remained unimpressed.)

This familiarity is what allows any iteration of the band to headline a festival 26 years after the release of Appetite for Destruction; the best and worst to be said of them is that they sound exactly, resolutely, safely like their records. There is no experimentation wanted or received from anyone onstage (and it?s not of interest to fans either). Guns N? Roses is, famously, Axl Rose and whoever he hasn?t fired that month; his iron fist and business savvy in the current lineup is apparent in every note they play. He is the only original member left (keyboardist Dizzy Reed dates the next furthest back as a contributor to 1991?s Use Your Illusion I and II) and the rest of the musicians are, while clearly technically talented, expected to play with note-for-note faithfulness the familiar chords and solos of classic-lineup stars Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan, etc., like a cover ensemble of their own catalogue. "November Rain," one of the many Illusion I offerings, broke down with precise familiarity, from Rose?s soft piano intro to the plaintive Slash guitar solo, to the frenetic coda of foreboding chants and cataclysmic strings. Their glimmering cover of Bob Dylan?s "Knockin? on Heaven?s Door" (from Illusion II) still sprawled near healthy double-digits; "Nightrain" chugged along right on schedule, without brakes or extra coal.

The highly enjoyable, completely predictable set ended with the group?s longtime finale from Appetite: "Paradise City," an entreaty to the libidinous that Rose remains skilled enough to have already made redundant. At its bawdy, bright close, confetti canyons spread glitter across the crowd and fireworks lit the night, the latest in a healthy half-dozen times in the set. Rose almost seemed to grin back at the crowd, but there was no need ? he?s seen this all before, and he knows he will again.

I would of given anything to have been there, a festival show in New York. Seems like Guns went over great with the crowd, and I love how the band went on early after all that drama when they got announced.  :hihi:

Nice review..Seems journalists from this event like mocking the 80's..

I agree it was a really nice review. Sure it is done in a sarcastic and tongue in cheek manner, but I got a very positive vibe from it, so I'll take it. Seems like it was an honest review as well, which holds truth as many fans who attended also have reported how it was a fantastic positive Guns performance.

still cannot get over Saturday night what a treat!!

Pop Heroes Made and Remade
By JON PARELES
Notoriety was the key to headlining the Governors Ball Music Festival last weekend on Randalls Island. It used to be the making of a pop hero, and sometimes it still is.

Saturday?s main-stage closer was Guns N? Roses, the band led by a vociferous bad boy of yesteryear, W. Axl Rose. Sunday?s finale ? and by far the biggest draw, if tabulations by the festival?s scheduling app were any indication ? was Kanye West, the rapper and producer who has so often acted up in the spotlight and then written songs about fame-induced folly and megalomania. He had a new one on Sunday, modestly titled ?I Am a God.?

They both have long, tangled back stories that have become incentives for attending their shows; see it live before it?s reported by the tabloids. And their music was set at full blast. They?re two generations of pop hero: Mr. Rose stays shameless while Mr. West is (sometimes) repentant.

At Governors Ball they avoided the self-destructive rants of past occasions. Mr. Rose came back onstage after his band?s big fireworks display to announce, ?I love New York.? And when Mr. West got to the spot in his song ?Clique? where, he said, he usually starts complaining and justifying himself, he instead touted his artistic independence. ?We just made some real music,? he said of his album ?Yeezus,? due for release next Tuesday, going on to insist that he didn?t care about selling a million albums or tailoring songs for radio play. ?When I listen to radio, that ain?t how I want to be no more,? he declared to roars of approval, though radio stations might be resentful.

If Mr. West was out to steamroll the acts that came before his ? 63 others over three days ? he came pretty close. His new songs relied on brutally stark synthesizer riffs and drumbeats, closer to industrial dance music than to current hip-hop, and they were delivered on Sunday through a sound system with bone-rattling bass. Most of his older songs were remixed along the same lines: all deep, ominous punch as Mr. West shouted nearly every line.

He spent most of his performance on a small stage in the audience, wearing a loose gray outfit that made him look something like a penitent; for those who could see him, he was heaving back and forth, working up a sweat. But he set aside the beat for two long ballads with only piano chords and his computer-tuned voice: ?Heartless,? about a breakup, and ?Runaway,? a toast to boorish behavior. Bragging and materialism are at war with self-consciousness and self-criticism in Mr. West?s songs; a hero of ambivalence, he slammed home all the contradictions.

Guns N? Roses, by contrast, unabashedly celebrated excess. The group, which now consists of Mr. Rose and sidemen rather than the band of comrades from its 1987-91 heyday, is larger, slicker and even more cartoonish than it was in its early years. Mr. Rose and the band?s three guitarists struck rock-star poses, songs indulged themselves in long buildups and guitar interludes, and the stage spewed fireworks and confetti. It was an older school of rock-hero behavior, full of preening and bombast. Yet once Mr. Rose got his voice up to full, abrasive yowl and screech, Guns N? Roses was the embodiment of nostalgia-enhanced memories, a relic reanimated like a woolly mammoth suddenly charging across the tundra.

Kings of Leon, whose headlining set was rained out on Friday, were squeezed into Saturday?s lineup for their first New York City show since 2010. They didn?t play hero; they worked their instruments and let their songs ? brooding Southern rock updated with hints of punk agitation or U2?s arena-scale hooks ? speak for themselves.

Most of the rock bands presented themselves with that kind of modesty. Gary Clark Jr., a blues-rocker from Texas, made his songs slash and scream and erupt with distortion, communing with his guitar rather than telegraphing the music?s drama. Divine Fits ? the songwriting alliance of Britt Daniel, from Spoon, and Dan Boeckner, from Wolf Parade ? did some clowning onstage, but never hid the rigorous neatness of songs that use every detail of an arrangement to tell their stories.

Deerhunter?s guitarists just stood there casually as they showed how two or three chords could swell into clouds of noise evoking specific eras: garage-rock, psychedelia, postpunk. A different variety of postpunk ? revved up by breakneck, pointillistic guitar patterns ? came through in galvanizing sets by two British bands, Bloc Party and Foals. Haim, a band led by three sisters from California, channeled guitar patterns into a sunnier style, like Fleetwood Mac thinking about the Feelies.

Crowds sang along on folky, toe-tapping ditties from the Lumineers and Of Monsters and Men, and mouthed the lyrics more quietly for the whispery, skeletal, lovesick pop of the xx, who used lasers and smoke to create an eerie virtual canopy over a big muddy field. Yeasayer, whose songs delight in intellectual constructs and musical convolutions, faced happy, hands-in-the-air fans who picked up the band?s elements of disco and electronica and danced to them.

The mesh of the programmed and the hand-played was one through-line of the festival. Erykah Badu?s tart, sassy voice humanized the two-chord vamps generated by her laptop-wielding band; Alt-J drew subtle but clear connections between folky picking and the blipping patterns of electronic dance music. Animal Collective played a mesmerizing set, mingling live and electronic instruments, in which loops and overlapping vocal lines became euphoric incantations. Thievery Corporation slipped programmed elements into live-sounding reggae and funk. Robert DeLong, a one-man band using loops and samples, constructed pop songs that he then zapped with the assaultive noises of dubstep. Crystal Castles reached back to the punk-tinged synthesizer riffs and out-of-tune vocals of the 1990s rave era, though it also had more current, consonant tracks. The festival also had some unaccompanied DJs ? Dillon Francis and Griz ? who played inventive, genre-hopping sets; there was a Silent Disco tent, where dance music was broadcast to headphones all day.

While most of the festival?s rockers weren?t acting heroic, its rappers were. Azealia Banks ? the best dressed performer by far ? had fans shouting encouragement as she presented herself in song after song as a ?bad bitch,? bragging about raunchy exploits and picking fights, in a rapid-fire, indefatigable delivery that rivaled the twitchy momentum of her backup tracks.

Nas, whose set split the Saturday night audience with Guns N? Roses, presented himself not as a bad guy but as a chronicler and preserver of hip-hop. He reached back to his 1994 debut album, ?Illmatic,? for details of ghetto life and worked his way forward to grown-up reflections. Freddie Gibbs presented himself as the keeper of a disappearing genre ? gangsta rap ? but turned traditionalism into swagger, performing bare-chested and rattling off verse after verse a cappella, barely taking a breath. Kendrick Lamar?s album, ?Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City,? doesn?t endorse the gangsta life he observes, but onstage he barked his songs as if they were triumphal rather than wary.

The other headliner was mud: a result of the daylong deluge Friday. Festivalgoers tramping through shoe-swallowing mud, and dancing through it, may have been the real heroes.

The music critic from my employer, Bloomberg LP. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-06-10/axl-rose-does-pink-floyd-governors-ball-survives-storm.html

It sounds like Axl was looking to win the audience over, tightened the setlist up, and everyone went home happy that night. Glad the weather held up for them. The 10 people who complained about GNR playing when the lineup was announced, were drowned out by the thousands who got to enjoy it.

Just got back from NYC - that was the best I've heard Axl sound live (4th time).  Everyone around me - and anyone I spoke to at the festival/hotel/around the city all had positive things to say about Guns.  I figured Axl came out early in order to include as many songs as possible in the set... I know I appreciated it!  Great concert!

I wouldn't say I complained, I was just disappointed they were doing an area festival iwith no word of a headlining concert..

Maybe the poster wasn't talking about you, but the people who were campaigning against having GN'R play at GovBall.

wait, what who? Feminist organisations, reunionists?

The photo of DJ throwing his guitar looks like one of those sword swallowers  :D

Check out the first one of him throwing his guitar, the height he throws it at is crazy.  :hihi:

So if someone tells you that GN'R always shows up late and cancels all their shows, tell them you got a news flash for them. The world isn't flat and they need to get their other fatcs straight before opening their mouths...
