GN'R Behind THe Music is supposedly being produced.

[Jizzo]

Isn't this show on 103.1 in los angeles? Too bad its just out of my range to pick up.

[axls#2]

You'd have to say this was a good move by VR, too bad the new gn'r have no idea how to market a band. Axl won't even probably have any say in this one, but I just can't imagine him not being on a GN'R behind the music, that's criminal. Can't wait for this though, even if i wasn't a fan of gn'r, i'd probably watch this one, probably one of the more interesting band's story wise.

Is Camp Freddy's show over?

Is Camp Freddy's show over?

Yes..

To clarify, Matt said he hadn't been asked "yet" to participate so let's not jump to any conclusions..

On a side not not,CF Radio is hysterical, great stories from Matt
on the old GNR days, both Billy Morrison and Matt have tons of Cult anecdotes and Navarro is amazing, great stories of the underground days in LA..

It's a must listen..

[Jizzo]

I need to listen every week now

[Acquiesce]

So do we know if Axl is going to participate?

[DRUNK]

Listening to Camp Freddy Radio, Dave Navarro mentioned he filmed a segment for it 2 days ago...

Matt said he was not asked to participate..

When was this?  If this is true, then that's amazingly FUCKED UP.  Axl obviously had to approve this, but I never thought he would.  I thought it would take away from the new band, but after seeing the Greatest Hits success, maybe he changed his mind.

[Jizzo]

Tonight.

Its pretty legit, one of my friends called me and was like dude I heard Oh My God on the radio today. And I was like tapping the bottle early tonight, and he's like no I'm serious.

[DRUNK]

Wow.  That rocks then.  I was against the idea of a Behind The Music, but I'll take whatever GNR I can get at this point.


I really hope that it is done well though.  Because remember, if this is the first experience for new fans out there, it will shape their view of the band.  First impressions are very important, and this is risky.  I hope it is an epic story.  I hope it is moving.  I hope it really shows what GNR was and how big they were.  It better be atleast 2 hours long.  If it is any less, than it will be impossible to tell the true story in its entirity.

axl is GNR and he isnt on the GNR behind the music?

to me it seems axl could sue them and serve a cease and desist and that show will forever be in the can

axl owns the gnr name so theres no way anyone can do a show like that without his consent

I think you misunderstood.  There is no way they could do this without Axl and his permission.  IMPOSSIBLE.  So yeah, Axl is involved.

so lets get the rumors flying

if axl is involved it is cause chinese democracy is coming out

he will do behind the music to explain his side of what happened to GNR in hope of everyone accepting NEW GNR

lets all start getting excited

i want to see 10 pages by the time i wake up tomorrow of posts!

Yes, it's definitly an indication of Chinese Democracy's imminent release.  Absolutely.  Now, will they show it before the release, or after the release?  That is the question.  If they show it before the release, then they are using it as promotion, but it could hurt the new band (unless they have the new band and it's mini story in the BTM).  But then again, maybe it wouldn't hurt the new band because look at the Greatest Hits album?  The old band's history could be used to boost the new band's success.  If they show it after the release, then the release of CD will boost the ratings of the BTM to massive levels.  And if it gets massive ratings, then everybody wins:  VH1, The old band, and the new band!(and possibly VR down the line).

[Axl_owns_dexter]

I really don't see how he could sue.  If he could, then why would he allow GnR to be on shows all those other shows on Vh1 where they bash him.

How do you figure that?

You think Courtney Love consented to Kurt & Courtney, a movie that basically accused her of murder?  You think Axl consents to the VH1 segments dedicated to his hair extensions and alleged plastic surgery?  You think every E! True Hollywood Story subject consents to the show?  Come on...Axl couldnt even stop his own record company from releasing that album.

The fact that the show has already begun filming indicates that its going to happen.  The people at VH1 arent dumb, they check this kind of stuff before making these programs.

Ill be glad to see it, its a great story.  Of course Axl wont participate...not sure about the others.  I think the only way Axl would possibly participate is if the other members had no part of it and he had editorial control.  

Hopefully this airs sometime around the release of Contraband, and if not, hopefully Chinese Democracy.

Someone at the GnRbar made a good point.

The fact that Sorum is not involved might be a clue that Axl is involved.  It might be one of his requests along with others for him to do the show.  If this was mainly a Slash and Duff thing, then why wouldn't they have Sorum on, their VR bandmate?

That's a great point.


Let's face it:  There can't be a BTM without Axl.  It CANNOT be pulled off.  Impossible.  I don't even think the other members would ever do a BTM without Axl.  They know this as well.

It can, it would just be very stupid, that's why the more I think about it, the more I think he will be in it. And axl would not be able to stop this show anyways if he was not in it, so he may as well say what he has to say. This is pretty sweet though.

[Falcon]

They don't need Axl's consent whatsoever to do the show.

Jumping to conclusions like "CD release is eminent (sp)" is ridiculous.  Don't read too much into it.

Navarro said NOTHING of Axl's inclusion or exclusion, that's it.

I know speculation will run rampant, that's expected.  

Bottom line:  It's VH1's baby, the interviews they choose to do and air are their business and creative right.
