RUMOUR: Chinese Democracy Commercial To Air During 2004 VMA's!

What you are forgetting though when comparing bands like Bon Jovi and Aerosmith is that they are bands that have continued to release music and remain relevant over the years and have had stable line-ups that fans abroad have come to know and love. Jon & Richie and Steven & Joe have been consistent draws for as long as those bands have been alive. They have sold almost hundred million albums or so worldwide and I would argue fame wise are every bit as if not more recognizable than this incarnation of GNR. plus, they have a gentler image than this version of GNR, and image for those types of events is EVERYTHING. They are all family friendly, and whether people on this board will admit it or not GNR is not in the soft-rock family friendly mode. Both of those bands have softened over time, and GNR has retooled with good musicians who otherwise look like a freak-show. Comparing GNR to Bon Jovi and Aerosmith is like comparing Apples to Oranges.

If GNR still consisted of Axl and Slash I would agree that ABC would take a flier on them. This version of GNR though is going to have to go out an prove they are still a drawing power. I am sure I will here plenty about the 15 minute sellout at MSG but ticket averages from that tour in this country as a whole show they have alot to prove still. Until they do so we will not be seeing major networks hand them prime-time spots as the band that made them popular is no longer intact and the new band has to show that over time they will have the same drawing power as GNR once had. MTV did it as a novelty, the novelty of it has since warn off and they will have to release a successful product to regain the luster.

I think before they get offers for the super bowl or opening kick off GNR will have to prove that this version of the band is a good draw, I think that if the original band was still together and making music it would be a diffrent situation entirely and probably  not a problem and we would see GNR wiht Aerosmith on these types of things,  But GNR has for the most part remained out of the publics eye except for the few gigs in the states and the ones internationally and the VMA, and what do people here i the states remember about the NA tour, that iit crashed and burned with axl not showing up at gigs and with a riot to kcik it off, so until GNR is out there and proves itself, I dont think GNR will probably be asked to do something like the superbowl
