Sure it's believable that Axl had to OK the bands opening before them..
This is the guy that got them 2 sell out nights in 1991 and over 200,000+ people in 2001, and lets face it, they weren't there for Oasis
I'd say judging by those efforts, they would have considerable respect for the power that Axl has on making the event huge.

I dont think Axl makes the guest list or is asked but Im sure if he heard about a band he wasnt in favor of he would run it by the promoter, who would then more than likely, gladly accomodate guns.

Axl might have a say in one aspect; if he doesnt like a certain thing he can decide not to play, but Im sure they try to acomadate axl, if only not to piss him of and have him walk of stage or not even get on the stage, on the day he plays. but not for the entire festival, and the rio festival is important to axl, from what he says, that im sure he overlooks most things to play there, all though im sure he would have a problem with velvet revolver openning for him (im sure axl would never agree to open for them), but we will never know until the chance occurs, all though Im sure both bands wouldnt be open, as Im sure slash and duff wouldnt want to open for axl but who knows maybe sometime in the future they might have to share a stage at festival somewhere and that will be interesting to see how it goes, im sure none of the new guys would have problems with the old guys as they have run into eachother at diffrent moments (example tommy saying that he recently met duff and that he is a sweet guy) but I dont know how it would go down with axl and slash and duff that would be interesting given that from what i hear axl and slash havent spoken a word to eachother in years and then the lawsuits; who knows
peace

Of anyone involved with GNR from 1985 to 1996, Matt is the one who should shut the hell up about Axl. Yeah yeah yeah, he's entitled to an opinion. Fuck that. Nobody in the world - other than some rock triva buffs - would know who Matt Sorum is it wasn't for Axl Rose. Axl pushed GNR into stardom, I mean into the big leagues... not just being a kickass band. Axl took them the the top level. And Matt got involved way after Axl and the original lineup made their mark. I'm sure it was hell at times to work with Axl, but Matt should keep that shit out of the press. Slash, Duff, Steven, Izzy... okay, if that's what they gotta do. But not Matt.
Nice one

I'd say buy it cause Axl and Roberto Medina (promoter of the festival) have a very good relationship... And Medina wouldn't ruin that relationship for the world... Axl sells...

if he decides to go on stage. But I agree with you, I don't think VR would ever play with GN'R on a same day, Axl wouldn't let it happen. Maybe they won't ever play on the same festival/same year.

I don't buy it..
Not because I don't think Axl would have canned the idea, though.? I certainly think he would have, had it been presented (and I do think it would have been presented, had it even been considered).
Because honestly I don't think the promoter would have even started the process or extended the invitation.? He's not stupid.? He knows the history involved here.? He's not going to even suggest anything that he thinks might piss off Axl.? He's far too smart for that...

Matt Sorum really is starting to piss me off. I think he is a great drummer but why does he seem to be bad mouthing axl constantly. If it was not for Axl then Matt would have been a session musician on uyi tour. I believe Axl believes in the band ethos and therefore Axl incorporated him into the fold. IMO Steven Adler was is and always will be the best drummer that played for GNR and when I think of GNR it is with Steven and not " Former employee" Matt behind the sticks.

I just read on some Velvet Revolver message board that someone asked the VR management team if this in fact was true - was VR asked to open for GnR at Rock and Rio. VR's management's response? It was no. So it seems as though someone was having a bit too much fun during their interview

.... Just out of curiosity...? since it's against the rules to insult other board members... if Matt Sorum had an account on HTGTH, then we could ban clintron vs. the Abominable Dr. Phibes right?....? or if Slash or Duff did, we could ban dave-gnfr2k?
And if Axl had an account half of the members of this board would dissapear

I think everyone is allowed to say whatever they want and this includes matt Sorum. Whetehr it's true or not he has said Axl has constantly tried to fuck him out of any money the band made while he was there so maybe he has good reason to dislike Axl. Besides I doubt Axl gives a shit about anything he said. Axl is more than capable of speaking out and tearing Matt apart.
