GNR and American Idol

[GNRreunioneventually]

I allways wondered what would happen if axl went in to the auditions for that in like disguise, i always wanted to hear what Simon would say, prbly tear him apart, but then Axl could be like well to bad I sold more records than all of your supposed American Idols combine! I don't know i allways thought that that would be funny.

that would be very funny indeed!

seriously though American Idol needs to die

I don't know if anybody noticed, but on American Idol they had their token "rocker chick" eliminated last night.  I just thought it was cool that she's a) from Lafayette, Indiana (like Axl), and listed GNR as one of her "artists she was influenced by," along with CCR, Bob Seger, and Janis Joplin.  Unfortunately, had she made it through last night's show, she'd be on the American Idol tour (top 10).

 

 Is Lafayette proud of Axl and Izzy or Bill and Jeff as they might have known them as ?

Can't remember the video's name I just watched on youtube recently, but per his principal and track coach they didn't feel there was a need for Axl to return, dunno about Izzy, but I think he has been back.  I'm sure maybe some of the younger generation is real proud of them, even the american idol rocker chick was inspired by them, but I would think that Lafayette being described as a real religious atmosphere I doubt that many of the older generation (Axl's parents) were probably not to fond of their sucesses.

Can I just say I hate American Idol and all it stands for.


Thanks!

I enjoy American Idol, there I said it. What's the big problem? sure it might not be the most organic way of finding talent and many contestants aren't plucked from obscurity as suggested (last years winner had already recorded with big name artist before 'auditioning') but its fun, and often you get some good performances and it also opens up the public to different kinds of music - which isn't a bad thing.
Last year the runner up did a beat box Shot Through the Heart which was entertaining, this year someone did Hallelujah which was very good.
I expect a Gn'R song to be done this year also

Talking about American Idol . I don't see it, I just know the show but it would be interesting if some day there's a Guns N' Roses' special show
