Here Today... Gone To Hell!

could happen??  ???

was waiting for the thread.

I'd say 0-5% chance

Well, Duff will be there to play with Hollywood Vampires

Nope.

and Axl?

2. Hearing Mot?rhead's "Ace of Spades" on national TV.
The Hollywood Vampires, the Sunset Strip supergroup featuring Johnny Depp, Alice Cooper, Joe Perry of Aerosmith, and the Guns N' Roses rhythm section of Matt Sorum and Duff McKagan, have promised to perform a medley of their original song "As Bad As I Am" and the late, great Lemmy's most famous speed metal assault, "Ace of Spades." If we're really lucky, Axl himself will stumble out and duet with Cooper on lead vocals, but even if he doesn't, it will be nice to see the patron saint of the Rainbow Bar & Grill honored by his peers (and fine, Johnny, you can come, too) in front of a prime time audience.

Well, this one may not be out of the picture. They don't have to play but it would be cool as hell if they showed up and did something......perfect night for it.

if Matt is not involved I don't see Axl going there...if he goes could be an indication...

would be great promotion....

I guess we might see a Duff interview on the red carpet?

IMO, if something GNR-ish were to happen, it would just be Axl joining some other artist/band.  Or maybe Axl, Slash & Duff presenting an award or doing a tribute.
 
Otherwise, which version of GNR would take the stage?  AFD5?  GNR2016?  UYI GNR with Dizzy & Matt?

I think just Duff is going. Alice Cooper is there too, I reckon that Slash would normally show up to something like this, but he seems to have dropped off the radar so far this year in terms of public appearances.

No Duff with the Hollywood Vampires on the red carpet. Just Depp, Perry and Cooper.

Referring to the interview segment on E! tv...

that could be rock and roll! :beer:

No interviews until tour starts I guess...

Yup ... No chance to ask duff anything GNR related on national TV .

It will start...hope HV plays early cause I have to work tomorrow  :drool:

I don't get why they can't just do a award presentation together and shock everyone or just a small interview?

Would be crazy publicity and it would steal thunder like crazy from people.

It just isn't Axl's style I guess.

Exactly...Axl hates the media I think. In the last 15 years how many interviews or media appearances Axl actually did? Around 3 i think...

Yeah I just don't get it. The buzz would really create stuff man. It would be the "talk" of the grammys man.

Do an interview where they just jump to Axl Rose randomly and ask him a couple questions... then midway through it Slash comes in on the right and says "Hey man! It's been awhile!".

They hug on air. And they answer a couple questions and the internet breaks...

easy

I believe that Axl doesn't give a shit about that stuff at all... that's not what moves him. Actually he looks a lot like Izzy in this specific point.

Just saw Matt Sorum giving a brief interview. Didnt even pay attention to what he said, but I did say the TV crediting him as "Matt Sorum - Guns N' Roses".

What they are doing is strangely working now.  No media is equalling sold out shows.   Why do something you don't want to do when thee would be no real results.   Something can only get so sold out. 

Yeah, so far any promotion other than what's been done wasn't needed. The shows sold out pretty fast.

my goodness joe perry looks so old lol sorry between him and alice next to each other atleast alice has looked the same for years now it seems but JP looks really old. sorry just had to throw that out there

Yeah I know. I get it. Would be exciting ya know...

for us 1 album in 15 year fans...

Besides doing stadiums by yourself will be tough to "sell out"

I did say "so far"...

I do think more promotion is needed for a full US stadium tour.

they just ran the Taco Bell commercial from the Super Bowl but I don't think WTTJ was playing in the background??  ???

Nope no gnr this time

Duff looked great tonight.  John Depp looks to be on the keyno reeves between movies diet.  Beefy

Could be some one-time association to the Super Bowl? WTTJ being the #1 played song at football games...

No Ive seen it numerous times over the weekend on various channels with WTTJ. But may have been a limited run perhaps.

That sounds too much like... not GN'R.  I did not expect that tonight at all, we will see them when the time is right ;)

Nice of Tommy to leave one of his suits behind for Duff  : ok: ;D 8)

the Grammy's need another Slash/Duff moment....

I don't think the Grammys have ever really been much of a GNR scene TBH. Would have been significant exposure- but somehow not all that natural or comfortable IMHO. Hopefully something else pops up that makes more sense. The hype has been a mysterious "slow boil"- but it has paid great dividends thus far IMHO. GNR's a different animal- and whoever's workin' the roll out seems to appreciate that. 8)

Cool to see Duff and Matt out there paying tribute to Lemmy though. :peace:

rumors about axl rose play with them were false , Axl still has problems with matt sorum .

I didn't really care for the Grammys, Hollywood Vampires included, not an Alice Cooper fan.

I thought that making a statement, interview or ANYTHING would of been smart. It isn't Axl's style and to be honest the Grammys are a joke... but the exposure to unfamilar fans would of been great.

The casual fans of rock and older people know about Gn'R. The young fan doesn't, this would of helped things.

Maybe under normal circumstances but with the passing of so many major artists over the past few months, I don't think this would have been an appropriate setting for that.

Kudos to the Grammys for handling the tributes so well without taking anything away from the artists who were celebrating winning/being nominated.

considering he said he'd never reunite....at this stage we can toss all arguments to the bin.

Yeah. Axl has clearly stated time and time again he'd never work with Slash, so this is great. I'm just glad I might have the chance to see them together.
