CONCERT HOAX: Coyote's in Atlanta

[darknemus]

Just a quick update:

Its now about 7:15 AM local time, a bit less than 36 hours away from this supposed event.  Coyotes voicemail message is STILL promoting GNR appearing Friday night.  Tickets still available, Doors open at 7.  If nothing else, tomorrow should prove amusing.

Remember - if you go, be careful.

I hope Philadelphia fans won't come to this high possibly 'non-show' 

[1987]

could someone that lives in the are actually go to the club and speak to someone? .. that might be more informative than the voicemail.  i'm its 99% false.. but how can they sell tickets for the show?.. the owner of the club can't be that stupid...  this is all very interesting to me

[DemocracyRose]

Im 99% sure that this is a hoax...

But theres still the 1%............... 

I wonder how this turns out...

[michaelvincent]

Oh well, at least its an easy out for the club owner when GnR doesn't show.

Angry Mob: "What the fuck, you promised us GnR!!!!"

Club Owner: "I know, but you know that Axl, always pulling a no show and cancelling shit! Remember, no refunds..."
* walks away counting money

Goddammit its a Perfect Crime. ?

Some posters have been to the club.  There's a guy by the name of mike91 who went the first Friday they were allowing tickets to be purchased.  There was some holdup that caused them to not be able to actually distribute them until 11 (the initial time was supposed to be like 6 or 7).  The owner, from what I understand, seemed convinced Guns is showing up.  As to why, I have no clue.  That's just the vibe I picked up from mike's post.  Perhaps he can elaborate.  I do remember something about the club owner waiting for a call from the promoter or something before he allowed tickets to be distributed - and apparently, he got that call.

at least it's a fact that nobody can just print Guns N' Roses on their tickets and then get away un-asskicked. Heck, they even got the N' correct, didn't write 'N' or and ---

there's no way they'll get away through the backdoor if it ain't going to happen ---

I'm guessing he meant this:

I don't think it would be 21+ then ---

Or he wanted to sell more beer....



People didn't believe GN'R would play officially announced dates back in 2001 and 2002. When you read some of these posts, you get a feeling that some people think that the probability of GN'R playing this bar, compared to those dates, is bigger.

If you've been told they're not playing, how can there be a chance of them doing that?

Jarmo,

I, for one, dont think GNR are playing at this club.  Well, at least the logical part of my brain tells me they aren't.  But there are still some peculiarities here that weren't present in, for instance, the Hungary situation.  (Which is the closest thing I can come up with in approximation to this)

A. The length of time this has gone on.  This club has been promoting this show since at least April 8th - possibly before then.

B. Managements APPEARANCE (I'm not saying they haven't - I'm simply saying it doesn't appear that they have) that they haven't stepped in and issued this club some sort of "stop now, seriously" kind of order.

C. The fact that a local radio station was paid by the club, at least initially, to promote this show.  A Clear Channel station, nonetheless - which is kind of amusing, in its own right.

D. The supposed existence of a signed contract seen by the radio station

E. The club's continuing to promote the event about 36 hours before its supposed happening.. you would THINK that they would be aware of the consequences and would be smart.

The only conclusion I can draw from any of this is that the club, themselves, think Guns is showing up - now WHY they think that, I have no clue.  I do hope, though, for the sake of people's safety in the area, if nothing is going on and its just gonna be another normal Friday night in Cartersville, GA, then I hope SOMEONE steps in before people get hurt.

There are locals going to this show who have never been on a GNR board in their life - its those people that are really getting screwed by all of this.. managment may have issued denials through intermediaries on a message board or two - but seriously, to avoid chaos - I would HOPE that they would see a need to be a bit more.. aggressive in their approach here.

Has anyone actually bothered to pass this info on to management? I mean, they can't be on top of every little thing all the time. It's quite possible that they have no idea its going on.

As for the club owner/booker, I am leaning heavily towards a scam by a fake 'promoter'. Its not that hard to draw up a bogus contract and to lead on someone with false confirmations/phone calls/contracts. Then again for all we know they might actually play. Who knows for sure, stranger things have happened. But my gut feeling is that this is a total forgery and a scam.

[jarmo]

Sure, it's weird that the bar is still promoting the event, but that doesn't really mean anything. Just like anybody else who thinks they're right, they'll find out one day that they were wrong.


And you should know about that...... Yeah, this reminds me of that other "incident". Back then some people were telling me how much proof there was and how the story didn't make any sense.

Oh, and even back then management said it was bullshit and some of you wouldn't believe it. Same thing here.....

And I heard one more similar occurrence that some club claimed a GN'R show, which turned out to be a Steven's show.

[PhillyRiot]

Even if the real GNR did sign to play at this club, do you really think they would show?

[SonofAGun]

I'm telling you, its going to be lil GnR who shows up!! 

[Fretzo]

Does anyone know if they've replaced Buckethead yet?
We know that Dizzy has another show that night.
If Axl does show up it could be a cool gig with just 2 guitars, bass, and drums or he could be playing his new CD like Mettalica did with the black album at MSG.

[Malcolm]

K i highly dought that there going to play..I think if theyb were it would be like at the Ritz,The Roxy or in Vegas or somehting..But i also dont know why managment hasnt denied this yet or why the club owner would do this?Very confusing

[roxxi]

Are they deliberately trying to cause a riot? ?

[eze]

I was thinking the same thing. A riot would give the club some cheap pub. AS sick as it sounds, they could possibly be trying to cause a riot.
