Axl Rose to Talk Guns N' Roses on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/axl-rose-to-talk-guns-n-roses-on-jimmy-kimmel-live-20151230

Let's hope once he's done talking GnR, the unveiled new/old lineup gives the world a much-needed wake up call once again...

Axl tends to remember people that treated him favorably, and Kimmel seemed super accommodating in that last interview.

Still think Fallon would have given them the entire fucking hour though.

Wow, that's a big fucking deal, no?

Yes and yes probably. Kimmel's a better interviewer though. Fallen just fawns and gets starstruck.

I was excited before, now I'm like can we skip New Years , and just get to next week.lol

I hope Kimmel is the first of many interviews to follow - print, television, etc....Axl has been far too quiet for too long.  If there's ever a time and reason to break the relative silence, the (alleged) upcoming tour  would be it.

It's phenomenal!

This is what an actual promotional strategy looks like.  Been far too long.

I just wonder in group interviews how they handle the questions about breaking up.

Personally, I would deflect it with jokes, but I do that for everything.

That's awesome. Great news. :)



/jarmo

Holy Shit....

The next week is going to be excruciating.

Just Axl on the show???

Wouldn't you have guessed the opposite?

I would think you'd get Slash and Duff easier than you'd get Axl.

I can so see Axl comes out and talks... and then Slash and Duff.....

oh man i cant wait

Can't wait! Exciting time to be a GNR fan!

Kimmel is great at shit like that too.  Like when he brought Marty and Doc out in the DeLorean.

Kimmel is by far my favorite late night guy.

Just so jacked up.

OMG!!!!!!!! Im sitting on my connecting in Philadelphia go Ng to Raleigh.. And i read this shit!????? OMG!!!!! I knew this was happening once Jarmo stopped deleting old band members topics  :hihi: might have to catch that firat show in Cali... Or wherewver!!!!

New Axl interview! Things are shaping up, and could hardly be any better. :)

I think I watched this live last time. Anyone know if it can be streamed in the UK??

Just don't show up in LA to hassle him backstage like George Costanza with your tips.  'Hey Axl, buddy, you know the whole piano thing you do with November Rain, it's a getting a bit old... enough with that already..."

So is Coachella full line up definitely announced on Tuesday??

Hahaha

Guy backstage told me we should consider doing some episodes away from the bar.

Wednesday is "soooooooo faaaaaar awaaaaaay.. "

YES

It says Tuesday in the rollingstone article,  no?

It says so under the picture yes.

Credit to Revolver Paul over at mygnr.

This one's so good I had to post it:

(http://i.imgur.com/9Q0uxXW.jpg?1)

I'd like to know this too as a UK gunner!

How do we get Kimmel tickets?

Foxtel has it at 8am live on Thursday morning on the comedy Channel for anyone who's interested

They post the videos on yt almost immediately after the broadcast.
Looking forward to any news from the man himself

Rarely the complete interviews though.

The full episodes can easily be found on streaming sites though.

Oh my God this is starting to get serious! I think I'm gonna cry with joy :'(

I'm starting to get a little paranoid here..what if he denies the reunion with Slash (which is, in the end, still theoretically posssible)? That would totally dissapoint many GNR fans..Please tell me it's just me...

This is going to bring R n' fn' R back!!

He won't do that on national television. The audience starting to boo... can you imagine.


If the reunion rumors weren't true, he would have made a statement on twitter or something.

Ya, the crowd would turn on him. I can't see him setting himself up for that.

Plus the Billboard article uses the word 'confirmed' a few times, they aren't a web blog or typical click bait site so I would assume this came from the horses mouth 'off the record'  ;)

I was thinking the exact same thing

This is an amazing start so far to what looks to be a once in a life time 2016 for guns fans

Well guys, thanks for the reassuring words..fingers crossed!  : ok:

Would be cool if Axl starts out the interview by revealing the line-up one by one, and then they come out and join him.

Then there's an interview with the whole group, sort of what Jimmy has used to do with casts from movies and tv-series.

Hopefully, it will be more than cornrows and Halloween trees discussed this time  ;D

I'm kinda excited but history told you some lessons. Gonna believe the rumors when one of the bandmembers confirms it. I won't be too surprised/disappointed if all the buzz was nothing but a big bubblefuck. BUT lots of hints there.
Unfortunately I've got to admit that I'm not half as excited as I would have been 5 to 10 years ago. Even if it's true. Don't know, too much time has past. Even though I'm a "Slash-guy" it would feel kinda awkward to see him back in GNR. It has become tooo much of an Axl Rose thing. BUT then again, perhaps I'll see it pretty differently when I see a band sitting side by side consisting of AXL, SLASH and DUFF at least.

This is awesome! Perfect birthday gift for me  : ok:

Wow..cautious to the end

I just set up a weeks worth of kimmels on the dvr. ;)

Jimmy Kimmel is on 11.35 Eastern Time, right? Just trying to figure out when it's on here.

And, can you watch US TV through Hola in other countries?

Yup, on the time!

No idea on streaming in other countries. You could set up/connect through a us proxy server to connect to, if you know how....that would let you stream no matter where you are.

Thanks :) So it will be an early start for me next Wednesday

This is currently working: http://livetvcafe.net/video/DKGY5XMASWH3/ABC-East

I just wonder though if that is the case when the man himself is on air :peace:

In any case there seems to be a number of ABC streams online. This is looking good to be able to actually watch the show when it's broadcast. We do know that despite the name it's not live.

But I don't think it's like the other late night shows which is taped at 5 in the afternoon. I think Jimmy's show is taped an hour ahead of broadcast.

That works, thanks! I'll log in here and join the fun when it is on. I think I am out with friends Tuesday night, so I'll probably stay awake

Yeah, plus Kimmel's in LA...much easier for Axl to drive there than having to fly to NYC for Fallon.  I agree Fallon would be awesome.  The ultimate for me would be if he went on Stern. 

Hopefully we get some sense of which direction this is going. Perfect platform to start this thing off on the proper foot.

Who knows what they might have planned for the coming weeks..

Really really excited about hearing the truth from the man himself! :D

Would you guys want more a rambling sort of explanation of how it all came together and they patched it up...

...or him saying, "Eh, what...were we just never gonna talk for the rest of our lives?  It's over and done, who cares?  This could be fun."

I'd prefer the latter, I think.  I kind of don't want to spend much talking about the bad time.

But do you guys think, after all this time, you want each and every detail?

If so, Kimmel is not the right forum.

Howard Stern would do a phenomenal interview. Imagine he has both axl and slash on for one of his marathon interviews! But I'll start with the Kimmel interview. And I do think Slash n Duff will be there. Big things to come here.

He can be such a ballbreaker though.

I think he's hilarious, personally.  His takedown of Jay Leno - on Jay's own show, no less - was one of the best things I ever saw live.

I was just thinking in the amount of time they have available, we can't expect any in-depth interview.

No, not really.

You just hope they all seem like they are having fun.

What happens if Axl comes on Kimmel and says:
"Over the past few months I've heard all these rumors and this and that and yadda yadda about a reunion of the old band floating around on the web, and all these guys commenting and getting their chips in "Oh isn't that cool?! Axl made nice with everyone!" and you know, I thought I'd come here and address it all. Slash and I are on good terms again, for now there's good vibes, and a whole lot of stuff just got blown out of proportion, as usual by the media to support their own agendas. And you know, it's come to such an avalanche of misinformation to mislead our fans that I've got to come here on live TV to address it. While the relationship between Slash and I has improved, we've both decided you know, a reunion's just not in the cards. Not now or at any foreseeable point. I'm here to tell you, to clear up the muddiness, that the new band will be moving forward once we get our new guitarists, then we're on to the next leg of the tour and the next album!"

What's the fallout from that?

Why would he do that on TV?

There's no upside to that. Negative publicity all round.

Hoping for a Stern interview as well. Howard has mentioned a few times how much he wants to interview Axl in the past. Would be a great forum to get the word out. An hour plus interview, to say whatever they want to get off their chest. Howard is a big fan at heart too. He'd be more than fair.

Howard would say stuff which would re-open old wounds and end any reunion in two seconds flat. Howard lives for controversy, he's a troll. Single-handedly getting Axl to hate Slash all over again would be a notch in his belt to him.

I don't think you know how Howard operates because he doesn't operate that way. He's always respectful of his guests. It'd be the one thing if Axl showed up and was at odds with Slash. Then, yes, Howard would work to get to the bottom of that. But if there's a reunion going on, do you honestly think Howard would take pride in being the one who ruined a potential reunion? Again, I suspect you don't know enough about Stern and how he operates.

Can you please stop with your negative hypotheticals. There would be absolutely no reason to go on a talk show to shoot this down use common sense please. I'm sorry but this type of thing is aggravating after all these months of waiting.

That you wrote some bad fanfiction.

jk (well, sort of).

^i think its safe to say that wont happen. there would have to be some good news in there at least, like hey guys no reunion but our next album will be out on friday. otherwise, why even make an appearance? it would be better just to stay quiet until they had some good news to share after all the reunion hype died down if it indeed wasnt happening.

best case scenario all around would be hey guys reunion is on, were releasing the second half of cd and cd remix (insert relatively soon date), then doing coachella with slash and duff, and then a huge tour. currently working on music with slash and duff for the album that will come out after cd2.

can you imagine that? what a home run that would be. 

My first post on here, long time lurker ;D so here goes:

I've been a fan since '88 and was lucky enough to see the band on the Illusion tour so all these rumours have got me as excited as anyone else and I really hope they're true but until we've had word from the horses mouth (Axl) then you have to accept there is still a possibility that he may well just go out and shoot the rumours down.  Following this band for the amount of time I have you learn to expect the unexpected and just when you think somethings going to happen you know it might just not be the case.

All the signs look positive, the fact that no one - Axl, Duff or Slash - has shot them down previously and that the rumours seem
To be gaining traction but like I say until you actually hear it from the people who are (possibly) involved I don't blame anyone for having doubts.  It's not about being negative it's about being realistic and history tells us G N' R and especially Axl do things how they want to do them not how everyone else expects them to do it.

Again, I really hope this is happening though.

I'd say that Axl, Slash and Duff being on Kimmel is a given. Of course they have to say it's going to be just Axl so there's a mystery in the air. If they said the three would be there it would be clear they'd be announcing the reunion.

The timing is perfect. The reunion is announced on Tuesday night then the Coachella line up is made public on the next day.  :peace:

That's a very good point. They can't very well say the rest of the band will be there. If they did there would be nothing to announce really. We'd know the reunion is happening.

Yeah Howard would be the best interview by far. Hopefully it happens. I'd imagine Kimmel just where he is in LA. more convenient.

I can only say that dreams do come true!!!  :D
As a kid in 1993 when they split, I was devastated. And knowing there's no chance in the world they would reunite, there was always that little hope that keep telling me "believe, believe..."

And look now!  : ok: ;D

So is Bumblefoot officially gone??  ???

Yeah Ron is definitely gone.

I am looking forward to finding out what the line up of my favourite band in the world is.    It's only been about a year and half

Why are you working against his appearance on the show?

 :rofl:



/jarmo

I'd like to have each and every detail because I'm curious. But I don't think itwould make any sense for them. Joking around about it, is probably the best way to handle the situation. Sort of a rocknroll/whatever/fuckyou/none-of-your-business Attitude. But I'm still curious and would like to know what Slash did or did not for fucks sake.

Axl has to be 28 again and not age like Dan Mcafferty. Or else!

 :P

Some of each?

I don't need an autopsy of their conversation(s) and a blow by blow of how they patched things up.  But I wouldn't mind a "Yeah, back in May, we bumped into each other at Starbucks...and after all this time, I just had to give the guy a hug. It sorta snowballed form there" kinda thing.  Just a general layout of how when and how the initial reconnecting happened...but it can be "breezy".

After that, I'm good.  I'm sure we'll get someone who will, eventually, get a more in depth story out of them..but now is not, I don't think the time for that.

I just don't understand what the f'n problem is?! It's a scenario (worth/worhtless) that one can think about. Axl will give the answer next week. Stay cool.

Oh, enormous.  But I think can say there is zero chance that would happen.

Since when does Axl not only feel the need to speak up like that, he sets it up on national TV?

Nevermind how improbable that would be based on everything we've heard, its just not what he does. 

You're right, that would be great.

I'll be more surprised if Slash isn't there than if he is tbh. Got to have your 'lets bring him out' onscreen reunion. That's your viral moment right there.

Definitely. I expect to see Duff on Tuesday as well.

Jimmy is a smooth operator, I expect some light hearted jokes out of all em.

I agree: Zero chance.

Because a) a denial could be handled via a press release or a social media tweet....and it would be more effective for that type of thing and b) Kimmel would not, likely, have any interest in Axl being on JUST for that conversation.  I mean, I'm sure he'd love to have Axl on to shoot the shit over other stuff, but not if the main reason was to discuss something NOT happening.  And that's not even taking into account the enormous negative blowback Axl would then have to deal with from the audience.  Yeah, just not the right forum for that kind of talk...not at this point.

No, I'm 100% sure this is Axl coming on to talk about the future of GnR, and announce that something is happening soon.  We can debate what that something is, I guess (though, at this point...other scenarios are going to be lower on the likelihood scale, given the confirmations from major press outlets)...but it's NOT "The rumors are not true, and I'm going back to Malibu to hike some more...so what's going on with you, Jimmy?"

I mean, if Axl wants to be funny, that would be a great way to open the interview.....but I think there's no way that's the actual message he's on the show to give.

Can't wait to hear about his "New Years Tree" 😎..As the old saying goes this is Must Watch TV!! I'm not expecting too much as far as revelations go, but am truly excited for this interview...I think Axl would be the perfect guest as Howard Sterns first interview of the New Year and first interview under his new contract!!

To me there are no details to be said...

When 2 people have lived in a hellhole, in their youth, with no money, no food, trying to make it to rock business with almost no chamce to succeed in it, strong bonds are created...
And despite all these years of anger, sometimes a single look in the eyes is more than enough to bring back those feelings...
;)

The world is exploding. Every single person around me is talking about the reunion. Definitely one of the greatest news (if such is to be announced) in the music history.

Agreed. People I haven't heard from in years have reached out to me to talk about this.

Can't wait for Tuesday.

Same here mate, same here. I live in Bulgaria where Guns are not 'the most popular band' and it's still insane. :)

Is Stern back next week or the week after? If they have another week off, that'd be a great way to kick off the new contract indeed. I'm sure Gary is furiously working the phones. He came close to having him on a few years back.

It's insane indeed.

A couple of days ago, the reunion story was on the fucking news here in Norway(NRK, Norway's equivalent of the BBC), and a 3 minute report at that. They rarely report anything music related other than when big acts are performing a concert or are in the country.

Wonder what the odds are that the reunited GNR plays live on Kimmel and then Axl sits down to reveal plans?..

Could happen.  Duff has shown pic of rehearsing correct?  Just hope Axl would rehearse

LOL, Axl almost never reharsed in his career

Faldor gets Howard.  The view on Howard being a ball breaker, etc is no longer true for the A list celebs he gets on the show.  Recently did a 2 hour interview with Adam Sandler which was phenomenal.  Did long interviews with Madonna, Chris Rock, Don Henley, Tarantino, JJ Abrams, Arnold, Rod Stewart, Adam Levine, the list goes on and on.

Looks like Matt Sorum will be sitting in on Late Night With Seth Meyers next week.

He's scheduled for both Monday and Tuesday at least.



If the line-up is with Axl on Kimmel, I guess Sorum is not in then.

Seth is painful to watch, but I guess I can make an exception in this case.

Some webs says Axl on Kimmel will be on the 5th some others say will be on the 6th? Can someone confirm what date is it really,  thanx! 

To promote what?

Kinda makes you think he's in and he is going on the show to promote this no ?

Slight chance, but I think Axl or Axl and Slash should and will be the ones to break the news first.  I can't see Matt doing so a day before Axl does.  Therefore, I'm unsure why Matt will be there?  And if he's not joining GNR, his conversation could be interesting. 

Matt is playing with the 8G Band all week. Not interviewing.

Good

Yes, I wrote "sitting in". I probably wasn't clear enough in my first post, sorry.

I'd love to see it, and I guess it could happen. But I'd think if Coachella is indeed paying them 8 million dollars, they might want exclusivity on their first performance. Maybe they don't even announce the lineup until they hit the stage. I would think Slash and probably Duff would be announced and join Axl at the couch on Kimmel.

Seems like interesting timing for him to be sitting in though. If he is a part of a reunion in any way, there'd probably be a few questions or at least congratulations thrown his way. If a full lineup isn't announced maybe he'll just be coy about the whole thing.

Prediction.  Axl announces he will retire following this run with old members. 

Did you hear the interview he did with Axl in 1989? He was planting stuff against the band in Axl's head. Saying since he's "doing all the work, he should take a bigger cut of the pay" and that he "doesn't need these guys" etc. And then what happened with Izzy? Axl felt Izzy wasn't working as hard as he was and wanted to demote him and dock his cut of the pie.

You can't see Howard with a list of quotes of Slash and Axl have said against each other, like "Slash stole 15 years of my life", "Slash is a cancer" and not be reading them off to Axl asking him, "So ya know, Axl, how, how can you forgive all this stuff? I mean you sure Slash isn't just trying to pull a fast one on you cause he's broke from being divorced?"

That was 27 years ago. Have you listened to any of Howard's interviews recently? Trust me, he's changed. He's not the "shock jock" that you remember him to be.

Two appearances ago, Slash complained that Howard asked too many GNR questions. He later apologized and told Howard how well received the interview was and how much he appreciated it. The next time Slash was on the show with Myles and the Conspirators and the GNR talk was minimal at best.

Howard is not out to stir shit up if guests willingly come on his show to promote. That's not his gig, never has been. He's the self proclaimed "King of All Media" for a reason. And it's not for pinning two guests against each other after deciding to undertake the biggest reunion in the history of rock. I don't see how one could think that.

I don't think that's all that implausible that he will do that.  If Axl has been working on other music, I think that he has to know that it will all die when the original members get back together.  There is absolutely no going back from here if they do indeed reunite, unless Axl wants to do something that he doesn't refer to as Guns N Roses.

I think Axl is intelligent enough to understand where Howard is going with his questions. If he does Howard, he will know what he's walking into.

Axl will certainly address the reunion situation at Kimmel.

I do hope he says something about new music as well.

         It would be awesome if Rose tries to drag it out playfully with Kimmel and has as a surprise....Slash with him. The audience likely would go ape shit. This could really be awesome to see those 2 rockin on stage again together.

They'll be on Kimmel on Tuesday night. Coachella's announcement is on Wednesday so there's no point in going to Kimmel on Wednesday night after the Coachella gig is made public.

Why do some of you here think you know whats going on? Wait until the show and then I guess we all know whats going on?

The past two days' 500+ articles is a clue.

Doesn't that kind of defeat the whole purpose of a fan forum?

Fantastic idea - thanks

Latest rumor on mygnr:
Axl wont be attending alone

Seriously?  After two days of speculation, they only came up with that rumor now?

I think we all pretty much from the start assumed it wouldn't just be Axl.

Axl will probably come out first then hell introduce slash or something like that I bet

I can't believe how "Not" f*cked up this build-up has been
This has been a homerun in every way, shape & form
Axl, Slash and Duff together on Kimmel will absolutely kill

Don't want to be a Debbie downer as it will obviously be great to see Axl and GNR and in the spotlight.  But I hope things go better than in 2002, or Rock n Rio.  Hope the voice is in top form and kills it.  Whether they play on Kimmel or some time later down the road.

Axl is being interview then all of a sudden Slash walks out. Axl gets up to confront him... Then they hug. Then on with the interview. Ohh the anticipation! Can't wait to watch!

Whoa...    Its like a episode of True Detective over there....

True Detective, Season Two!!!

Yep

Horrible!!   hahaha

It'll be interesting to see when the Kimmel guest line-up is published.

Will it say:
Axl Rose
Axl Rose, Slash and Duff

or simply

Guns N Roses




If it's the last one, I think that gives us the best chance of a performance as well.

I cant see there being a performance on free tv to start all this.....

Part of there deal with demanding a huge pay day from this festival is the fact that they are going to be the first to promote and advertise this reunion

I looks like Kimmel's the first one to promote this...


The announcement from Coachella will be earlier in the day I think. So they get the announcement.



To be honest though, I think there's only a 10% chance of a performance on Kimmel. The initial reports have only mentioned Axl's name, so it points to an interview.

If anything, an acoustic performance of Patience would fit the situation. :)

Axl and Slash only.

^that would be so sweet! id love to see axl sing with only a guitar as the backing music in modern times, at least once. to accompany the news, it would just be unreal. people'd go potty in thems pants.

I cant see it...   But, that would be so great.

I totally think the first time we see anything musical from this band will be at the festival

I'm not betting on it, just a wish scenario.


I get the argument that Coachella has probably paid a lot of money for GNR, but it's not unusual for bands to do warm-up shows before "the big one". As for the money spent, Coachella will be sold-out regardless.

I can imagine Rock in Rio 3 paid a lot for the comeback in 2001, yet GNR played for a small crowd in Vegas on New Years.

A TV performance on Kimmel would reach a lot of people, but there's a difference between doing one song as a teaser and full blown big concerts ahead of the festival.


Again, not arguing hard that there WILL be a performance on Kimmel. I also doubt it.

oh I bet there will be a warm up show or shows....   

probably secret, with proceeds to a charity

I am in Vegas in Feb, probably too soon for one, but I am hoping

However, just like RNR 3.....   

When they did Vegas....   Where is the footage of that show??  That show was on lock down 101....   

hence why I think there will be warm up shows, but not on tv, not to joe average ticket buyer

Those were different times though. No social media, no (good) camera phones, no youtube.

Regular fans attended that show.

It was on serious lock down

All cameras and recorders were taken away

So todays standard would be, no phones allowed....... 

Cameras and recorders are taken away today also. Difference is everybody has a smart phone today, which has both those capabilities. If that had been the case in 2001, they couldn't have enforced the same on that. No one gives up their $500 phone at the door, they would have played to an empty venue.

any recording device or any flash device was taken away then

now, usually, only any large recording devices or any cameras with large zooms are taken away/not allowed in

I would think

any secret show would have a zero tolerance for any of the above as back in the day

olus

a zero cell phone policy

you want in the show

leave your phone in your pocket

you pull it out

your gone

as the show would be for a 1000 give or take...   its a rule they can in force

Not all recorders were taken away though.

We have the 010101 audio ;)

pocket recorders

While we wait...

Tuesday next week is the only day not currently scheduled with 2 guests at Kimmel.


Monday - Jennifer Lopez, Ben Higgins
Tuesday - Natalie Dormer
Wednesday - Bill Maher, Brie Larson
Thursday - Kate Blanchett, Kevin Durant

very intersting. very very interesting.

The title of the thread says ''5th'' and most articles say ''6th''. Do we have an exact date, or just a ''next week'' affirmation?

Rolling Stone said Tuesday.

I Set the whole week up on the dvr.

Van Halen did a very small and private show for family, friends, and selected media members a few years back when they reunited with Dave. They also played private warmup arena shows in LA if I recall correctly. I could see them doing something like that. I could maybe see Axl and Slash alone performing on Kimmel, but I doubt it.

When Axl did the jimmy kimmel?s interview, they announced him on the show how many days in advance?

also VH played on Kimmel las year , they had a stage outside, i remember that time DRL broke his nose while doing his cheerleader routine with that stick lol

Yeah, I think they played two nights on Kimmel. But that was their second time around since they first reformed with Dave. I would think Guns would want to keep things close to the vest along the way and not reveal everything all at once. I'd love for a full band performance on Kimmel, but I'm not expecting it.

I completely agree.  I think unveiling / seeing the full (whatever that means) "reunited" lineup together for the first time at Coachella would be an insanely powerful draw.  A Kimmel performance would be spectacular, though.

For people in the LA area, right now there are tickets for Tuesday available. Earlier they were sold-out. I guess this comes and goes as some figure they can't attend and so on.

http://1iota.com/Show/1/Jimmy-Kimmel-Live


Axl hasn't been announced yet though.

I saw Dave Chappelle a few weeks ago. They didn't allow phones and they handed out a locking device prior to entry in to the venue. Then, on the way out, they unlocked it for fans. So...it is very possible on a small scale anyway. That said, no way there is a warm up show prior to Coachella in my opinion.

It would be good for the band if there are warm up shows. After such a long time off the road, I would imagine there are some form of mindset you as a performer need to get yourself into. That's what the warm up is all about.

People on the Coachella forum are discussing how OutKast in 2014 essentially used weekend 1 as a warm-up, as the weekend 2 performance was astronomically better.


Now, if there's some kind of contract that prohibits GNR from doing that, there's not much you can do.

I tried he other day on my iPad and can't create an account.  The creating account thing just keeps spinning. 

If anyone gets a couple tickets to Kimmel and wants to be joined by another GNR fan, I'm only 20 minutes away.  Always love meeting fellow GNR fans. 

Yeah I am more interested in a warm up then a stadium show. Would love to see one sold only too gnr fan club members.

Stones always do warm up shows before their tours.  They do their in Toronto.

It's like training camp for a sports team.

They should ABSOLTELY do some rehearsing, with Axl.  Public or not remains to be seen. 

But they can't just go out there in April and wing it with all these eyes on them.

WOW!!!

Jimmy Kimmel just started following Axl and Slash on twitter.



Clue that Slash will be there as well?

He didn't follow them before? What's wrong with him?  :hihi:

He might've. But if you unfollow someone, then follow them again, they appear at the top of the list.

Could be something he does when he's got people on the show to promote them.

These next 3 days leading up to the show Tuesday night are going to go excruciatingly slow.

Just another interesting coincidence leading to the same conclusion.

Jarmo....is there any official confirmation about Axl going to that show? i dont have time to read all that topic :peace:

n, just a rumor

Rolling Stone notes that "multiple sources confirmed" Axl's going on Kimmel.  I'd say it's more than just a rumor.

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/axl-rose-to-talk-guns-n-roses-on-jimmy-kimmel-live-20151230

Anyway, possibilities are endless as to what Axl will do on Kimmel.  Announce a new tour, new lineup, new album, play a song with Slash and Duff.  I'l take any or all of the above.  2016's looking good!

rephrased: is not confirmed, tnx

 :hihi:

Norway.... You ever hear of the New York Times before  ;D

"It's kinda a big deal"

Axl is going to be on the show... he is going to discuss Coachella.. and I'm about 99.9 percent sure Saul Hudson is going to be there with him... (which is mind boggling)

AXL ROSE's Half-Sister To GUNS N' ROSES Fans: Watch 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Tuesday Night

http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/axl-roses-half-sister-to-fans-watch-jimmy-kimmel-live-tuesday-night/

Another very exciting time to be a guns fan. When times are good, they're very fucking good  :beer:

Right now they list Natalie Dormer as the only guest and music from PVRIS for Tuesday. No offense to either of them, but there seems to be a pretty big void there. Thankfully a few guys we know well around here may have the night free.

I'd assume Axl will be the first guest, and Slash will join him at some point. Then Natalie and the fact that a musical guest is listed probably rules out a performance from Axl and anyone else.

Pet peeve: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A HALF-SIBLING!!!

IT'S HIS SISTER!!!

DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF YOU DON'T HAVE BOTH THE SAME BIOLOGICAL MOTHER AND FATHER!!!

IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR PARENTS ARE NOT YOUR BIOLOGICAL PARENTS!!!

IT'S HIS SISTER!!!


On Topic:  That was nice of Axl's sister to give the fans a head's up since it's not listed on the schedule.  :)

I think Amy confirming it is pretty much all the confirmation we need at this point. That's about as close to confirmation as you can get without Kimmel coming right out and saying it.

I agree with you, but it sure would be nice to get confirmation from Axl or the Kimmel show.

But...but..but...thats not from a band member or one of their attorneys. ;)

I agree, though. This is even further confirmation. Looks like a late night, followed by a very early morning, for me tues/wed.

Les see what kimmel says on Monday. ;)

Agreed. Caffeine might be needed for Wednesday morning...

Yeah, on wednesday's, i am out the door by 6 am. Thats gonna be a rough morning, but probably soooo worth it.

I see lots of Coffee in Pilf's Wednesday morning lol.

Honestly, i don't think he's gonna come out and say it. I could be wrong but i think the plan is to keep it as much under wraps as possible even though the cat is out of the bag so to speak.

I'm probably going to have to watch it on Youtube. I get up at 4:30am. Also, I've been away from the office for two weeks so I'll have work to catch up on. It s!cks being an adult at times. lol

It's getting wierd to me. There's no confirmation (even Axl said himself), nothing on Kimmel's website.. Maybe Rolling Stone's source got things wrong?

Also, the original Blabbermouth story quoting Axl's sister had her Facebook post there.. But since then, it got deleted. http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/axl-roses-half-sister-to-fans-watch-jimmy-kimmel-live-tuesday-night/

It could be possible Axl asked her to simply delete it.

Isn't the line up for Coachella supposed to be announced also on Tuesday? Wouldn't that be earlier in the day? And would Axl just be confirming the news, and talk about future plans?

One possibility,

Coachella announces that GNR is headlining.

Axl announces the line-up.

Makes sense.

I don't know if we have any late night experts here but typically these late night talk shows pre tape these shows. Now i'm sure if a situation arises where someone like axl rose decides he wants to talk they are able to make an exception on short notice. Im sure if its planned to be done on tuesday they are able to add it to the show. I think someone posted that natalie dormer is supposed to be on the tuesday night spot what a combo game of thrones and guns n roses.

They tape the show at 4:30 Pacific, so they could be giving themselves a little leeway just in case. But the normal schedule is to have a main guest, a secondary guest, and a music act, comedian, etc. Unless they have a major guest on. Then that guest could get at least two segments instead of just one. Again, no offense to Natalie Dormer or PVRIS, but I don't think either of them deserve an extra segment. So it makes sense to have Axl on that night.

Ya think they are planning in case he is late? lol

Could it be it will be a pre-taped segment in the program? Maybe Axl and Slash hanging out in a recording studio..  :D

Hence Axl isn't listed as a live guest on the show...

Monday as well currently only lists two guests.

Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny are supposed to be on as well.

i just re-watched his last appearance and there were a few jokes made about not knowing if he would show up for sure. So it's possible. But he did show up and everything went well. I'd think things would go even better this time around since they've done this once before.

I'm sure everything will go as planned. Im sure the producers who probably don't follow axl like we do just go by what his alleged reputation is of being late or delayed alot. I will definitely be curious to see if he is the only guest they have on that particular show or if he will be on first then someone else or vice versa

Oh ok, they aren't on the schedule i saw.

Anything is possible, but I'd expect him (them) to be there in person. Maybe this time he'll give out free tacos instead of burgers.  ;D

Makes me think the current list posted isn't complete.



http://xfilesrevivalhellyeah.tumblr.com

scroll down a little bit.

I'd say that's quite possible. But I'd say Monday's list would seem more complete than Tuesday. Like her or not, J-Lo is a pretty big star and The Bachelor is an ABC show, I think. All Monday is missing is a music act. I know a few guys.  :peace:

That would definitely be the coolest, hearing the audience's reaction also.

Yeah she'll be promoting her new NBC show Shades of Blue.

Nice call

Does Jimmy Kimmel usually do a theme week? 
And is the theme for the week "reunions" or "The Truth Is Out There"  :hihi:

Just a theory on why he (they) are not listed:


All the information we've got so far regarding reunion, live shows, line-up... they are all from leaks to the press.

In an ideal world none would have leaked and Coachella could announce GNR as a headliner as a total surprise. Jimmy Kimmel could have baffled everyone by having Axl and Slash on the same show revealing that they are reuniting GNR.

So, the instructions Kimmel's production team got originally was not to reveal Axl and Slash as guests beforehand as it would ruin the surprise.

Naturally things leaked days ahead of time, but now Kimmel's production hasn't got any counter message from Axl/Slash about announcing them on the show, so they are just going ahead as originally planned ? no announcement of the appearance on the show.

I will go out on a limb and say this may have already been recorded to air Tues.  Just my gut talking. 

Certainly isn't impossible they already filmed their segments.

Without a studio audience though? That would take away some of the excitement from the big reveal I'd think.

I suspect that just because they currently only list one guest for the days, doesn't mean that's how it'll be.




/jarmo

Talk shows film segments for the future, its possible that after the taping of episode of, let say 28 december, Kimmel changes his suit to a different one, and they tape another interview / music performance / comedian/ during the same day, for a later episode.

Then..trust me when i tell you this....we would already know about the appearance. People in the audience would have talked....

Afaik, Kimmel typically doesn't do what you are describing, usually either. Not even for his Friday eps (something letterman did, and i think leno, too).

Conan does that sometimes.

Yeah, I'd say there's no chance this was already filmed, at least not with a studio audience. I think it'll take place on Tuesday during normal business hours, for JKL that is.

I can honestly say i don't think there is any other performer out there in the world musician, actor or actress or artist that has this aura or mystique that Axl Rose has. The whole will he won't he thing in no matter what he does whether its a guest appearance a concert or music release. Whether you love em or hate em people are truely fascinated when something comes up involving Axl.

Woulb be sort of cool, when they just played a tune without having a talk with Jimmy Kimmel. But that performance had to be spot on.

Curious when it films.. Wonder if anyone on the board will be at the taping and will post some spoilers...

What time does this go out at on Tuesday?

Now that you mentioned Conan I wonder if Slash may go to his show at some point. Slash has done it before more than once.

11:35PM on the East Coast.

It films a few hours before it airs. I wouldn't necessarily expect spoilers either. Only a small live audience and they'd probably have them sign NDAs.

Before the taping, the audience must be at the door at 3:30PM I believe... So the taping starts a little while after that.

Thanks Jarmo!

Setting that alarm to go off a tad earlier than usual. 

Can't wait! :)

You're welcome. :)



/jarmo

awesome.. so who`s (in europe) gonna get up in the middle of the night to watch this? I AM! if u can watch it on the Kimmel website.. ?

\0

I think it's pretty safe to say the Kimmel people are just fine about not getting a "counter message" 
It's not like his show isn't getting BIG TIME publicity from "no announcement"

What I'd like to know if I'll get kicked out if I wear a "Where's Finck" Tshirt at the future shows :)

thought a bit about the same with all the CD merch :P  :rofl:

''Where's Tobias?'' shirt could get some interesting reactions.

Tobias will be the 3rd guitarist  :hihi:

Me too. I just hope I won't feel like an idiot afterwards (IF it the whole thing turns out to be a denial or not what most of us expected ;D)

Im excited  I hope there will be a pay per view!!!!! ;D

Im hoping Slash will be there for a surprise  ;D

Me. I'll try to get up. Someone posted a link to use, so it should be fun.

I'll get up too. Not gonna miss it for he world

I wonder if I even should watch it live. What if it doesn't go down? That would be a little troll from axls step sister.

Me too, for coachella! Or live youtube stream, or something. And i hope its weekend 1...since i'll be in boston for a conference during weekend 2.

If it has not been recorded already, some heads up on Europe would be appreciated

Isn't it safe to assume that even if someone misses it, it'll be up on youtube in three shakes of a lamb's tail?

Of course it will but there's just something kind of fun and special to watch it "live" too.

I might be one of those guys. I'm absolutely 100% sure that we will get to see this live as there simply are so many options. One in a million will work.

It's just that do we have a plan B if there's no Axl or anyone else vaguely related to this? Or do we just go back to the pub or get some more sleep :beer:

Taping for the show starts at 4:30, so 7 hours or so before it actually airs.

http://abc.go.com/shows/jimmy-kimmel-live/news/schedule/jkl-schedule-for-01042016

And it's confirmed. Let the hysteria get even more crazy. Now we can at least stop will it or won't it happen. He will be on presumably to announce the lineup and their appearance at Coachella.

mmmm.... (http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f96/AObando2002/Natalle%20Dormer_zpsffekpfur.jpg) (http://s45.photobucket.com/user/AObando2002/media/Natalle%20Dormer_zpsffekpfur.jpg.html)

You had me at Natalie Dormer.

That's local time right?

So, 7:30 EST, about 4 hours before it airs...

All right, all right, all right! It puts in perspective all that was reported by Rolling Stone when they broke this story, as it confirms that their sources are hot. Now the only doubt is whether Duff and Slash will also be there.  :beer:

Yep

Good to hear its all official now. Plus, not bad to watch Natalie Dormer's face too. :hihi:

But there's still a possibility that Slash will not show up (to save some drama for Coachella, maybe?). Instead, Axl could present some video of them in a studio, working their shit toghter. That would be cool too.

So Natalie Dormer is a guest that same day. Well play Axl!!!   : ok:   :hihi:

Axl Rose & Slash Will Appear Together On Jimmy Kimmel, Reunion In Works For Years

Jimmy Kimmel has confirmed that Axl Rose will be appearing on his show tomorrow via his website. He also followed Axl Rose and Slash, confirming that the legendary Guns N? Roses members will end their decades long feud and reunite on his Tuesday night show. Recent rumors have dated back the reconciliation between the two to before Guns N? Roses? 2014 Las Vegas residency, with this 2016 reunion being in the works for 2 years.

As we have been reporting for months, the reunited Guns N? Roses will be headlining the Coachella festival in Indio, CA in April 2016. Billboard confirmed our reports last week, also reporting that the band will play the new Las Vegas Arena, which is set to open in April. Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan so far are the only confirmed members.

Alternative Nation has learned that Guns N? Roses will announce additional United States stadium tour dates in late January 2016. We previously reported on December 1st that around 25 dates were planned, and this still appears to be the case. A show at MetLife stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey (where the New York Jets and New York Giants play) is reportedly in the works.

Consequence of Sound is reporting that Matt Sorum will be the drummer, but there have been many contradictory reports, with Frank Ferrer even hinting at his own involvement, and Steven Adler publicly lobbying for his job back just a couple of months ago.

http://www.alternativenation.net/axl-rose-slash-will-appear-together-on-jimmy-kimmel-reunion-in-works-for-years/

I'll be attempting to get up early to watch this live from the UK  : ok:  :beer:
will just revert to my Christmas holiday clock and all will be well - until i have to go to work on Weds morning!

So exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How does somebody from the uk watch this  ???

So, now we can say it's confirmed AND official.

Gonna be a LATE night for me that night. :)

There you go !

http://livetvcafe.net/video/DKGY5XMASWH3/ABC-East

I just hope the site doesn't crash

Coffee and caffeine are your friends!

So it appears Slash will be on too then? That audience will go nuts.

thx

Someone posted some links that worked. If you just get here slightly earlier on Wednesday morning, we'll figure it out then

cheers all for the help so far with links, much appreciated  : ok:

Is there a stream for people in the US who don't have a TV?

http://abc.go.com/watch-live



/jarmo

If both Slash and Axl appear tomorrow night on Kimmel this place is gonna go nuts. We might bring down the site. I feel bad for Jarmo. He's gonna be busy!

So excited! DVR is set and I switched my schedule to have the day off! :smoking:

You're right. Sorry about that. I thought 7 hours was a bit much.

It will be insane..

I think if Axl is going to announce they are playing Coachella with Slash.. he HAS to be on the show tomorrow night too right?

I think I am staying off this web site all of tomorrow... I don't want anybody to ruin anything for me...

Just going to turn on Kimmel and see what happens.

Good point.

I will create a new thread for the updates with spoilers to those who want to wait until they see the show themselves.



/jarmo

Sweet! Good idea.

I'm sure some info will leak before the broadcast.

Great idea!

Definitely... I think I am just going to turn my phone off etc.

That's probably not a bad idea. Twitter will be blowing up literally.

Will sure be a TT on Twitter. #Axl #Guns #Reunion #kimmel #hellfrozeover  :nervous:

I really hope Slash/Axl show up together.

Bring out Axl then have SLash come out. How cool right?

I'm quite satisfied with just Axl.....

I still cannot believe this is really happening...

Yeah it is kinda surreal. I've been a fan of them since the summer of 2000, which isn't as long as some of you I know, but its been a long time and a dream for me.

Really really want Adler back in this deal.

Its just cruel if they dont have Adler play some shows with them.  I still think the idea of having two drummers works.  This is a huge show.
It would be cool to have a section where Adler comes out, and does the AFD stuff, and then he comes out for the encore PC! 
If he messes up and has a relapse then no one will feel for him.  I wont at least, but I still want to see him out there.

All should be known TOMORROW.  Come on Axl please say IZZY and STEVEN are back!    :love:

Jarmo, you didn't include Sofia in the time list for the show in the news section. I'm disappointed. Does that mean that they won't play here?  ;D

I am "Izzy spoilt"!! Out of 4 European Shows Izzy showed up! I just expect him to be there!! 😜😜

I will, on the contrary, look for those spoilers..in case it turns out dissapointment (no Slash reunion) I have no intention of watching the actual show in the early morning, messing up the rest of my work day..
IF it turns out Slash was there OR Axl confirmed he is back with the band, I woukd glady earn myself a pair of fresh eye bags! :D

Haha!



/jarmo

I'm guessing Axl will announce the touring lineup, which will include Steven Adler in some way...If he weren't included I think he would have spoken out by now...

As long as its Axl, Slash N Duff those are the big 3 to me id like to see Richard involved anyone else is gravy to me

That's a good point, didn't really think of that.  I couldn't possibly imagine him not flipping out by now if he wasn't included in some capacity. 

So..... Axl's name is taken off again.

Odd.  Maybe Kimmel crew was not supposed to post it

 ???  People are not going to be happy if plans have changed.

I don't think anything has changed, I think they were not supposed to post it or they are updating it or they want to wait untill they film it to announce it for security

FINALLY!
Axl will finally confirm if he really loves Taco Bell or if he was just messing around on Twitter!

This may sound harsh, but can Adler even play anymore?

The whole world knows about it. What?s the point of taking it off?  ???

Something else odd, here:

NONE of Kimmel's show descriptions, for this week, are actually listing the guests who are on. At least on Directv.  Usually, all that changes on Saturday into Sunday at least from what I've seen.

One other thing: In looking at the Kimmel's guest page, it sure looks, to me, like they reverted back to an earlier version, rather than removed Axl's name and updated the current version.  I don't know if that means anything, ultimately...but it could point to an error, somewhere.  Could also be that Axl's name wasn't supposed to go up until after TONIGHTS show....if at all.  We'll see.

There would be some point if he wasn't appearing anymore ???

I think Axl is gonna get him on stage to play Civil War and if he fucks up, he's off the stage until the next show and the same again.... When he gets it right he can finish the show  ;)

Yes. Just watch the Rock N'Roll Hall of fame performance. He was class.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RPRZxEQSRkg (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RPRZxEQSRkg)

Axl's name was removed from the Jimmy Kimmel Live Show website

Yup...as was reported about a page ago (about an hour before your post) in this thread. :)

Yep, Steven was awesome at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.  He sounded incredibly tight with Slash and Duff.  There is no doubt that he can play.  There have already been rumors that Steven and Izzy will participate.  I posted this on another thread....

Steven Adler & Izzy Stradlin?s Rumored Involvement In Guns N? Roses Reunion


Metal Sludge is reporting that Izzy Stradlin and Steven Adler could be guest performers on Guns N? Roses? upcoming reunion tour.
  
?It?s Axl, Slash & Duff. And whoever they decided to hire for the week, month or leg of a specific tour. If anyone so much as steps a foot to the left, they will be replaced faster than Summer?s replaces clip-in extensions on tour.?

He added, ?It?s the Big 3, Dizzy will be on keys, Frank on drums and Richard on rythym. And Izzy will saunter in a few nights and do 2-3 songs. Adler will get a chance to play a song or two, and my guess, might even be done 38 Special style. With both drummers. I?ve heard from sources Axl does not like Sorum, and he?s also said a few dumb things in recent years ? so he?s not likely to be there unless he bought a ticket. Scatter in a guest here or there on guitar, or Bach singing a duet with the boss on a night or two. Maybe if Fortus breaks an arm or something, they might bring in Gilby for a run of shows. I?d also wager there will be another utility player or two on the trek playing keyboards, or maybe even some extra guitar. Mark my words on all of this.?

Ex-Poison manager Howie Hubberman hinted at Facebook at Guns N? Roses trying to find a way to have some sort of role for Steven Adler in the reunion. ?Negotiations are not finished. They are doing this the right way!! Right way would include Steven (in some way).

Axl's name wasn't replaced at least, so there's a name missing. :)

I don't see Axl's name on the guest page either. Hope this was planned and his appearance wasn't cancelled. Anyone on the board planning on going tomorrow?

He is fucking with us.  :)

Maybe there is more than 1 guest, so they don't want to fuck the surprise  :peace:

Seems weird they'd even put it up in the first place if it was supposed to be a surprise.

All will be well. Can't wait for tomorrow!~ :peace:

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=66455.0

He did couple months ago.

That was then, this is now.... as you reunionists like to say.   ;)

I don't think that proves anything.  I certainly don't think Steven would've remained silent during these recent rumors (and I mean more recent than 3 months ago) if nothing was including him.  But.... EVERYTHING is still a rumor even at this point, and it looks like it will remain so all the way up until something actually happens.

Steven Adler should be involved in some way.

What I would do is this...

assuming he's learned the UYI songs in the last 25 years since he was kicked....  I'd just give him a straight on deal... show up, be cool have fun and play. No alchohol and no drugs.... if you do you're good and you're the drummer.

Have Frank Ferrer on standby (sorum and axl are worse off that adler and axl right?)

If he fucks up, Frank is the man the rest of the way... but give Adler a chance man. I honestly don't think he'd fuck this up. He needs the money more than any of them for sure too.

Izzy...well, I don't think he will be in the reunion in a mainstay way. I see him playing a few songs on a few shows, but that is it. Adler wants this more than any of them...

at the very least, they should have Adler do the encores or something.

I was just trying to stay positive..i don't want to find myself with a classic gnr bitter taste again  :'(

WhY? The guy is a train wreck with a big mouth. Just cuz he kept it shut for once does not make him worthy of being included.

Would be fun if he doesn't show up at all. Which would mean a prolonged uncertainty and frustration for the fanbase wanting to know what's going on.

That would be a total disaster. 

Now, if he made light of it, that could work.  Like if Jimmy starts to explain that he was supposed to be here, but never showed up.  And then he walks out.

It would be a massive shame if he wasn't imo.

(https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/fr/cp0/e15/q65/10644973_857521754367081_5145327086962714028_n.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9&oh=d5878810316a6c297e0e24d1be39935f&oe=571BCD5A)

like most of us thought, looks like Big Frank is in ^^^^^^^^^^

Great, i have never really cared for Adler, yes he's great on the records, but especially on live shows he is the worst drummer GNR has had by a big margin. IMO.

Frankie is badass.

"I just received confirmation that Axl will NOT be appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday, January 5th!
 
Sorry to disappoint but I can now confirm." - Downzy over at Mygnr.

Is this a reliable source?

With that picture looks like Frank is in as drummer. Which is cool with me, he's a great drummer, but ADLER has got to be involved in some way. If they don't involve him it is just cruel man.

Interview cancelled

Wow.  What a let down.

Oops, didn't set my expectations low enough.  ;) :rofl: :'(

If that happened I'd simply assume he changed his mind about the whole thing. Am I alone in that? I remember saying when this rumour started gathering steam it's going to be a fragile thing that could fall apart at any minute. Not saying it has of course.

Now Blabbermouth is reporting that Axl won't be Kimmel tomorrow night (sourcing mygnr):  http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/report-axl-rose-will-not-appear-on-jimmy-kimmel-live-tuesday-night/ 

They also mention that Amy Bailey's FB post urging fans to watch on Tuesday has been deleted.  

I think we can accept it as true that tomorrow night isn't happening. Didn't know that about Amy's post. That does seem to confirm it.

And just to preempt this possibility - tonight's Kimmel may well have been recorded already now and Axl may well be announced as one of tomorrow's guests. Keep in mind the show tapes in the afternoon so it doesn't mean it's happening, just that it was as of a few hours ago.

Wasn't that facebook post deleted days ago?

This is not good. The media wants any excuse to bash Axl, and even though he never said he'd be there, the usual suspects will all blame Axl and start spreading B.S.

Anyway, Coachella's announcement is on Wednesday, so Kimmel or no Kimmel we'll know whether is happening or not.

If it was to be a performance, they would have needed frank. That twitter post or whatever it is suggest frank is available after Tuesday, maybe a delay and then press conference on Wed.

Apparently Axl was on at mygnrforum....   ??? The mods and admin... welcomed him and it crashed.

I'm holding out hope that they tried to throw people off with this...

That he will still be on tomorrow...

I'm hoping.....

He was Randy or is. But I guess due to all the busyness on it it keeps crashing.

Something could be happening real soon. And Ive got to sleep for work damn.

Exiting times! Goodnight folks!

I am in the chat room.

Keep us posted.

Honestly, don't care about the Kimmel thing...just want an official statement on their official site with tour dates, lineup and possible new music.

The site crashed, but no verification from admin whether it was actually Axl (Dexter) on or not

There are 51 Tuesday's left in 2016...

:coffee:

unless is just a rumor that a employe thought was for real.

Not possible. Aside from the checks and balances in place to prevent exactly that (one employee going rogue):

Because the guy updating the web page? He's not the same guy who is updating the descriptions that go out to all the cable and directv boxes out there. And yet, as i sit here, the descriptin for tuesdays show, on my directv box, lists "musician axl rose". So, this was going to happen, and something changed.

oh rly

Yes, really. For sure. Not possible.

Believe or not, but thats the truth.

No, it makes a lot more sense that one employee controls the web output of one of the biggest companies in the world, owned by that tiny and not at all litigious company called Disney, and decided it'd be a fun lark to get fired.

It is 100% impossible that is not a mistake by JKL-team?

Doesn't explain Amy's tweet.

Kimmel just commented about Axl not doing the show tomorrow. 

Jimmy Kimmel just announced the rest of the week, then said "Axl Rose was supposed to be here tomorrow but will not be here... for reasons only known to Axl Rose. (Then he laughed) maybe he will be here tomorrow and he's keeping us on our toes, I don't know"

Jimmy doesn't sound super amused here, huh?

Didn't Axl post any statement on MyGNR? Why would he log on if he only wanted to read what people were posting?  ??? I couldn't find anything there.

This really was intended by Axl/TB?


whats this?

Axl's sister Amy Bailey was tweeting that her brother was going to be on Kimmel on Tuesday.

He didn't seem to be upset or anything when he said it.  Kind of just shrugged it off with a smile.

Who has the track record for screw ups? The Kimmel show who successfully books guests pretty much every week day for the past several years... or the constant victim of miscommunications?

They didn't make it up... He was going to be there and change his mind, and from all accounts, that happened today. Jimmy would't have just addressed it taking a playful jab at Axl if this was on them.

Agreed.

And "for reasons known only to Axl Rose", to me, means he either wasn't buying what he was told or didn't even get a straight answer.

Likely the latter.

Who's the lucky bastard that got to make that phone call, I wonder?

Like COma stated, he said it like a "playful jab"
He didn't sound angry or say it in a malicious way.

Maybe they told him that Coachella was making the announcement at a time after the taping but before his show would air and asked him not to say anything.

I suppose if he winds up on there sometime soon, this would probably be correct.

He certainly didn't sound pissed, he was laughing the whole time... but I wouldn't say this is ABC's screwup, he was coming as late is early this afternoon (EST) and that changed. There may be a good reason, but ABC and Kimmel live didn't 'jump the gun' on this one.

does he like her?


certainly doesn't look that way if jimmy said he was supposed to be there.

I'll still be watching  :o

why was it cancelled? what they say?

He literally said 'For reasons only known to Axl Rose'

Why would anyone with any remote sense of rationality care about what might be 0.1% possible in the face of what, given how television works, given how much is riding on it, given talk shows like this are done professionally 5 nights a week per year, given it works all of the rest of the time?

Let's compare that to Axl's record of delays, no shows, missed deadlines, changed plans etc. shall we? I'm sorry my friend and I don't want to insult anyone on this board but if you think Jimmy Kimmel's team who have no record of fucking up things like this just happened to fuck up on the night the most fucky-uppyiest of bands was booked and it was their fault? Wow Bob wow.

That's the thing isn't it. How to address it. He is, essentially a comedian so the default would be snark...but then you also don't want to shoot yourself in the foot if you think there's an iota of a chance it still might happen.

ABC/Kimmel certainly didn't "jump the gun" but maybe they were given a heads up that the announcement MIGHT be coming sooner than later.  At first they did delay adding Axl's name to the guest list and, maybe thinking that the word wasn't coming down, decided to add it.  Bad timing because a very short time later they had to take it down again.

Jimmy didn't seem upset so I'd think both sides are okay with how it played out and are leaving the door open for an appearance at a later date.

You know, any reunion story that comes out in the next few days will also mention this.

And it's going to read like a headline from The Onion.

"Guns N' Roses To Reunite.  Singer Axl Rose No-Shows First Interview."

I'll put this in plain terms. No way. No how. If one of the major networks confirms a guest with those responsible for EPGs and online promotion the guest is booked. End of story. This isn't even the Kimmel shows decision, this is the actual network and Standards & Practices domain.

I just watched it. My guess is he will be on there Tuesday night. Just a hunch ;)

Jimmy does have a pretty good rep for pranks.

Being a fan of Guns N' Roses is like dating a maniac who gives the best head in the world. Am I going to paradise or is she going to bite it off? Welcome to the freaking jungle. Let's see.

what? like a reunion? ::)

Guns N' Roses who always do things in a weird unexpected way versus a Disney owned broadcaster who do things in a regular as clockwork way 5 nights a week. Yeah, there's literally no difference! Herp derp. Nice how you cropped my post at the exact point you could no longer muster a reasonable response.

A reunion was never impossible. Networks having no standards of quality control, verification, standards and practices and legal obligation for one night only on the night Axl happens to be booked is. Do you have absolutely no idea how booking someone for a gig works? You don't just get to advertise them with no contract, not least of all on network TV.

We landed on the moon by the way. Sorry.

it would be axl vs some american companies which of whom prevents locals from gathering rainwater.

how we do know they didn't wrongfully schedule him and put it down after a C&D? Just trying to determine if I should be awake. pretty much owned by my gf so... :-[


nice how you resort to discussing posters in derogatory manners, fu

Wow- we have a confirmed Cochella date, with at least Slash and Duff and some of you guys are still whining about the Kimmel show?

Amazing!

Once Again you took the words right out of my mouth!

They wouldn't do it through a cease and desist in that kind of context. That's more for if the likes of me or you claimed Axl was endorsing our podcast or something. Basically a legal nudge, the soft touch.

Trust me (well, or don't. I mean, I can't make you. But I've no reason to bs) I've been up all night talking to people. As Jarmo so astutely seemed to deduce I do know a person or two (ok, it is two) connected to ABC and all I've been told is Axl was confirmed for tomorrow, most definitely. As far as she, she being the one who's more equipped to know what's going on with Kimmel knows, they're still planning on Axl maybe being there. Don't take that as confirmation of anything, because she heard it through a colleague who works directly on the show's post production, and if this is all some fucked up double bluff who knows whether he's telling what he's been told to tell, he's been told what the bookers have been told to tell him, blah blah blah down the goddamn rabbit hole we go.

It's just that some people thought that things now would be different, and this cancellation brought bad memories from 2002. This is going to be a bumpy ride for sure, but it's going to be great, anyway.  :beer:

A concert we may or may not get to see in 3 months depending on location, travel, finances, streaming options etc. versus perhaps seeing Axl and Slash together for the first time in 22+ years together on something the whole global GNR fan community can enjoy together....TOMORROW?!

Yeah, gee whiz, I can't see why any fan would care about that.

lol, if u ask critical questions ur a hater now... :P


I believe(d) that, just the fucking cancellation and silence (from gnr) bugs me, and this:

Said a source with "Jimmy Kimmel Live" who declined to go on the record or elaborate: "Due to unforeseen circumstances, unfortunately Axl is no longer scheduled to be on Kimmel tomorrow."

"Be happy with what you get, they don't owe you anything, and you shouldn't wait around" - that should pretty much carry the party line from our vocal female contingent...  ;)

Well to be fair of all the nights to accuse them of being silent, the night they confirmed Coachella and basically confirmed Slash and Duff's return isn't really one of them. Got to give them kudos for nipping the temporary disappointment in the bud very quickly. For a moment it looked like all might be lost. We've quickly found out the grand plan still stands and any problems are between Guns and the TV show, not Guns and each other, which was the worry.


I guess so. Just nice when fans want what's best for fans and don't feel the need for putting each other down for looking forward to what they thought was happening. Would honestly probably bring a tear to my eye to watch this reunion with Kimmel on my laptop and HTGTH open on my phone with yous guys, all feeling all whatever The Day We Never Thought Would Happen has to throw at us. You don't get many moments like that in rock n roll anymore. Still let's see how this plays out.

I don't speak whinese- so sorry. Most of your posts are critical and negative. Poor you--->  :crying:

I am looking forward to Cochella in April!  :beer:

you made me laugh :D

is this legit reunion vid?
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9ryG9UPHH8

Axl hasn't actually said Slash's name or vice versa. He confirmed the concert but I'm waiting for him to actually say Slash!!  :hihi:

Yes.  100% impossible as laid out by you (an employee read a rumor and decided to update all their media based on it).

And pretty much 100% impossible that it was a "mistake by JKL team".  Because of the amount of communication with the guest (and their management team, potentially), back checking, and the sheer NUMBER of JKL team members that would be involved in the process, from start to finish, LONG before the media stuff (web, show descriptions, etc) goes out to the people who DO the updates (who, FYI, don't even work directly for the show...they're in corporate IT and in Network Scheduling).

You're basically saying, by suggesting this, that a whole cadre of employees at JKL are so completely incompetent that they would choose to do their jobs in a manner completely inconsistent with the way they do their jobs every day, and the way they have been trained to do their job.  Not one person..but a veritable army of them.

So, yeah...zero chance this was a JKL team screw up.  Axl (and his team?), for whatever reason, chose...at some point yesterday, for some reason...to not do the show.  It was scheduled. He, and management, knew about it and had agreed to it.  JKLs comment last night confirm that, too.

No.

Because the process doesn't work that way.

There is so much communication, and so many conversations, and so much SCHEDULING (arrival, hair and makeup, preinterview, etc, etc etc) with the guest PRIOR to the "updates" going to the folks that actually do them...this is a functional impossibility.  You can't "wrongfully schedule" him.

The appearance was planned and known about by everyone.  Otherwise those updates never make it into the hands of the departments...OUTSIDE of JKL...who actually construct the updates.

At first I was thinking Axl just wasn't ready to be on TV... Now I am thinking it was the bait and switch.

Who knows.  As Kimmel said "reasons known only to Axl".  Maybe we'll get a heads up, at some point, but..I'm betting not.

He could be sick, Coachella could have decided they needed to get the lineup out earlier than originally planned (tickets do go on sale in about 30 hours or so), or some other reason we can't fathom.

We got our announcement, and I think it was effective even if it was a backup plan (or not)..and I'm happy with that.

We're getting Slash, Duff, and Axl on stage at Coachella and, I'm pretty confident, a longer term reunion of those three for "other stuff".

I'd expect an appearance somewhere at some point. I wouldn't rule out Jimmy Fallon or Howard Stern. It would have been more logical than Jimmy Kimmel.

Due to logistics, Kimmel's show and Axl being from LA, it appears logical for an interview..Stern and Fallon are in NY....But still possible....Does Opie still due A list interviews?

I have no be happy with what you get agenda. My point was that on a great night of a major history making announcement,  people still found something to complain about. 

Look, Axl was more than "basically confirmed" for Kimmel and look what happened.  Axl doesn't basically confirm shit.  He knows everyone deciphers everything he says, and, more importantly, doesn't say.  Until he actually confirms Slash and Duff are back into the band, I wouldn't count anything as a certainty.  Maybe they are still negotiating and things aren't completely finalized yet...but it's to a point where it looks likely it will happen.  Basically, all we really know is that Axl will be at Coachella.

It doesn't matter now... but..

He was confirmed... the show announced he was going to be on..which means they got a confirmation from Axl's people. Otherwise the show wouldn't have announced him.

He/they backed out the day before.. end of story. You can say he personally never agreed to be there... nobody can prove otherwise.

One would think big time promotion is coming anyway to follow up on the movie trailer and to sell A LOT of concert tickets this summer.

I know slash and duff do not mind doing interviews.    Hope that part of the deal is not that they are muzzled.     I know when duff played with guns last year his media presence almost stopped

The two of them are good at it too. Makes Axl's life 100 times easier.

Exactly right.

Always felt that was one of the biggest things working against the new band.  No one to do the press that Axl loathes doing.

Is someone non-American actually watching this boring shit ???

I've heard of the guy, never watched since THAT interview and why would I? Closing the stream now and going on to other things. Hard to see how even Axl could've saved this.

Brazilian here, watching it. Just in case.

Watching JKL  since it started.... Never saw it?

I didn't see it either unless it ran before the show. I think he may be using a photo from the 2012 show intro.

No mention of Axl when mentioning the guests that will be on tonight. Looks like Jon Favreau is his replacement.

IMO, Axl enjoyed doing those in-depth interviews with Kurt Loder back in 1990. He didn't look like he was uncomfortable doing it.

edit: Axl will not be a guest tonight.

Some of us, perhaps idiotically, are still watching it in the hopes that it was all a prank and Axl will majestically appear

Yeah, and that guy was honestly Jon who? I thought he was some NFL quarterback from the past but obviously that wasn't the case.

Well, it`s over. That was a grueling watch. What's up with you American and commercials? Jesus, the intervals are bigger than the show itself.

oh, its that bad. not to mention they never make any new ones. watching TV in America really feels like being brainwashed.

http://www.alternativenation.net/howard-stern-talks-jimmy-kimmels-failed-guns-n-roses-reunion/

Yeah, thus why a lot of folks make judicious use of their DVRs.  For an hour show, you get about 44 min of content, and 16 min of commercials.  It can waffle a bit, depending, but that's the general ratio.

I watch very, very little "live" anymore.  Can't deal with all the ads.
