[pilferk]

They're back at Radio City Music Hall this year...in good ole NYC.

[EFISH]

a couple weeks back, i had the same thought..

great minds think alike

[J?]

Every year someone posts this shit. look the answer is no fuck.

Hah, imagine GN'R playing Better on the VMAs...the audience would just drown in their own orgasmic juices!

Ha you wish. More like a sea of hipsters scratching their heads saying 'what the fuck is this? this isn't Jungle...i've never heard this on the radio this sucks'. 

The only orgasming would be here on these boards.

If GNR want to go on the VMA's providing they have something to promote I'm sure MTV will be more than happy, the last time GNR were on the VMA's it broke all sorts of viewing records, I'm sure MTV will want a piece of that again. ?

No it didn't...

GNR was not responisble for any viewing records.....

I'm pretty sure I read that the GNR performance on the VMA's in 02 was the most requested MTV moment ever. It's not that relevant anyway, the fact is millions of people saw GNR on the VMA's in 02, if GNR perform in 06 at the VMA's and get it right, then it could do wonders for a GNR return, do you not agree?

[The Estranged MrFlashbax]

everyone's talking about what the band should or should not do trying to act like gnr's manager or whatnot..

i just wanna see gnr on the vmas, on the concerts, on the subways.. i dont give a fuck.. i wanna see gnr rock the fuck out in front of people again.. i dont give a shit what they play or what they do.. the hammerstein gigs i was at were so amazing and i honestly couldnt care less what they do or what they play.. i just wanna see em out and about again

[mikepatton]

Axl has been up and down at the VMA'S in his career.....2002 was a joke because his vocie was shot and he lookwed..well weird.............1992 'November Rain' came off as kinda cheesy....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.....................Now 1988 the boys kicked ass with 'welcome eo the jungle' which is the best VMA performance of any band in the history of the VMA's as far as i am concerned.........I showed that performance to a friend last week and he couldnt belive how much they rocked that shit..............And 1989 when Axl sang with Tom Petty that was badass too...........so we are 2 wins and 2 looses at the vmas...lets see if maybe this year can be 3 wins and 2 losses

I'm pretty sure it was too, hell the only reason me and a bunch of my friends tuned into the VMA's that year was because of the rumors that GNR was going to perform, watched the whole thing just to get to see em play.. so i'm sure a lot of people did the same

GNR better not do the VMA's even if they are asked to appear.   Last thing this band needs is to look like fools again on Live TV  before  releasing any new material.   It could be doom  for them .  It's better not to risk another catastrophy.  Just release a single and tour the states.

[SWINGTRADER]

now that the Vma's are back in NYC they will get their ratings back  and the show should be interesting to watch again.  That show was meant to be in NYC and no where else.   Last time I watched that show was in 2002 (last time they were in NYC ). I'll be watching again.

[killingvector]

They need to play new material: no more medleys. In fact, they should probably open the show. They closed in 2002, don't know why they would do it again four years later.

They can play the first single. Also if they want to make sure they play their best just take the song they want from one of their live shows. Just start playing the new song near the end of the euro tour and put that on mtv, like they did with LALD back in 91

[nesquick]

I think they would make great now because:
- The ridiculous Buckethead is gone. The new line-up can't be moked anymore. And it's goooooooooood (ala Tommy)
- The band looks more like a real band now.
- Axl is better: he sounds better and he is "Axl the Rockstar" again. His aura has returned.
- The bandmates know better each other and are friends now. They have more chemistry now, and I think lots of kids could be impressed by Richard and Robin on guitar and by the new old good Axl. Today most of us are older, but don't forget when you're young you need idols. Sport idols, or music idols, or both, whatever, they are better than most of Rock bands right now... they are Rockstars... the kids love that...so let's play at the VMA?

Finally, NYC is the city of GNR now.

[gnrbr]

Since GNR will be heading back to the States sometime around September, I was thinking maybe they'd "redeem" themselves on the VMAs this year.

I thought the were going to head back to the States in August ?

ser??

MTV doesn't want them.
Why you ask? Because 12-16 year old girls don't want to see some 40 year old guy they don't know play hard rock songs.

Sure.......just like they didn't want them in 02.

And........I don't think anybody asked.

Actually, go check my post on page 2. Just pay no mind to that little "edit" notification and the time stamp accompanying it. Thats just a glitch in the system.

You people are deluded if you think anyone besides hardcore fans care about GN'R.

Without an album or a single out I would HATE to see them do the VMA's. Would just be embarressing. This late in the game the VMA's without a single would be a joke.

Exactly. No one would do anything special if it was the first time they heard Better. Like I said, no one besides hardcore fans care about GNR. Put out an album and we'll see.
