VMA 06

[killingvector]

Guns N' Roses are NOT relevent anymore.

To whom? From what I read of yours, definately not you. But if you are talking about the industry and/or the mainstream fans, then I strongly encourage you to offer evidence as to why you believe this.

GNR should perform their new single. Then Axl and B-Real should duet together and perform hits from the bong. Smoke a bunch of fucking weed. Axl should rip a fuck load of smoke and make B bow down. Just as long as he doesn't choke. That would be worse then his 2002 VMA vocals.

Haha.. yeah I agree the 02 VMA performance kind of sucked, but it was cool to see GNR again so that made up for the vocals. If they did play at the VMA's this year that would be cool, but as everyone else said they should hype the new CD by playing a new song like "Better", cuz that fuckin' song rocks!

Guns N' Roses are NOT relevent anymore.

Is that why their Greatest Hits album has sold over 3 million copies in the US and been in the top 100 for over 2 years now?  I have news for you, the majority of the people buying that album aren't hardcore or old school fans

Well I have to say...

I said it months ago that axl would be a complete idiot if he hit the stage again without a new album. He did, and I was there for his first show and so far he is pulling it off.... although the media hasn't been kind, the media are also fucking idiots.

But if axl played the VMA's without at least a new single out before his performance I think he would be risking everything.... although i could be wrong.

But if he comes out with anything old he will really look like as hasbeen who can't live up to his ego.

Now.... if he releases a single in august. it gets on the radio and they bust it out at the VMA's that could be fucking awesome. IF that did happen my advice to him would be.... DOn't talk for a week before the show. Make sure you can fucking shred those vocals unlike anything he's ever done before. I don't care if he blows his voice out for a month... it had better sound like a razor through pavement. Because if he comes out sounding like he did in 2002 Round 3 ends in a TKO within the first 30 seconds.

GNR should only do it will a new killer single, an engerized and vocally outstanding axl, a rock n roll looking axl (no jersey's allowed) and with a band that doesn't look like a circus act (which they don't anymore)

Rember, the 1992 VMA's were all about rock n roll and for AXL to come out and sit at the piano and do November Rain just didnt jive..Thats when GNR lost some of their street cred courtesy of Faith No More and Nirvana, etc.....Would have been much better if he came out with the boys and ripped into 'Right next door to hell' or 'Down on the farm' and blew the roof of the place

ummm......

Nov. Rain won an award that year, GNR won the Micheal Jackson Video Van Guard Award and Nov. Rain that year was the most requested, which I believe is an honor it still holds...

yeah,,right next door to hell would have been a great choice 

[RichardNixon]

I'd love GN'R to perform, but only if they have a new album out.

[gilee7]

I think it's hilarious that everybody on this board seems to think that they're the manager of GNR.

[Emerson]

The launching of one would be interesting same in the VMA single, but exactly thus pra can be a good exposition band.

[russtcb]

I don't think VMA want's them.

Why would they? GNR isn't GNR unless it's got Slash, Izzy and Duff....

ATTENTION: Will everyone PLEASE resist the temptation to try to turn EVERY thread into this shit???

[russtcb]

if you really believe MTV doesn't want GNR at the VMA's, you're delusional...

GNR at the VMA's = Ratings boost, big time..

Haha, you wish.
You get the few thousand hardcore GN'R fans that watch and then you get casual fans who tune in, see the new band and change the channel.

Face it.
Guns N' Roses are NOT relevent anymore.

I know you live for the attention, but please knock this shit off. Especially since this discussion is actually going somewhere and all of it has NOTHING to do with the old band or your own incorrect opinion about GnRs relevance.

[russtcb]

I'd love GN'R to perform, but only if they have a new album out.

I think thats the general opinion. Maybe not have the album out just yet but at least a defninate date and a single.

[pebbles]

I don't think VMA want's them.

if axl wants mtv... mtv will jump.? It will only be a good idea if gnr releases a single and video.? Which they should do... so yeah its a great idea.? It should be a powerful single and video and they should tear the fucking vmas down, smash some guitars... axl should scream round 3 and soon is the word and then he should play 4 more hammerstein shows cause I want to go again!

I totally agree, and i also wish he would play hammerstein again because i loved it!

[the dirt]

It would be funny if they did the VMA's again and pulled out the same Medley of Jungle, Madagascar, and PC.

funny for about 3 seconds......

[the dirt]

At least Axl would look different...

[NickNasty]

i'll agree with the general sentiment of the thread and say yes it would be good for them to perform provided they play a new single and the album is right around the corner. and MTV would almost certainly have them back given the ratings of that year's VMAs.

this is probably the first time in 4 years a thread like this has been relevant

[sic.]

I think it's hilarious that everybody on this board seems to think that they're the manager of GNR.

That's what they call 'open office'.

They're all fans of the OLD GN'R.

Thats kind of obvious since the only tracks on there are by the old band. None of that has anything to do w/ whether or not GNR should/will play the VMAs anyways.
