VMA 06

Shit, I tossed this exact same idea about a week ago and one of the moderators locked the thread claiming it was too early to discuss,

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.

  I think you are wrong.  I work in a hospital and a nurse who knows I'm a big fan came up to me today and told me about her daughter and/or niece's dance recital.  The last routine of the night was to Welcome to the Jungle.      I think there will always be a market for a real rock star and the great music is a bonus.  There aren't too many rock stars left, and the teenies just might know that!

No one was asking for the New lineup.
They were all hoping MTV could work some magic and get them reunited.

You really need to take of your Rose coloured glasses if you think any non-hardcore fan will be screaming "Get Axl and his bunch of back up musicians"

^Oh, too late, already happened.

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.

Please. I love GNR as much as the next guy but nobody eles cares. I think people WILL care when the album drops... but otherwise..

well, if it does indeed drop in "the fall" around VMA time, then we could very well get something from the VMA's be it a release date, new song, promo, whatever...

know what I'm saying?

If Axl did the VMA's and then announced the single was out and an album date, it would be worth it. Alot of attention, hype, ect. Otherwise it would be a waste of time.

The only reason Axl should play VMAs is to play a new hit single. No more medley rehash bullshit.

I would imagine MTV have serious doubts about letting Axl ever play live on their show again after 2002.

The funny thing I was thinking though, was that VMA 02 was quite a typical Axl vocal performance of 02. Some people on these boards claimed he was having an off night or that it was in fact 'electrifying'. Fact of the matter is, he was pretty much at that quality level all of 02, the only difference being that millions the world over witnessed/heard that one.

[Tomorrows]

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.

Unfortunately, I agree. It would also emphasise the fact that they did this four years ago they did the same thing and no album or single since. Chinese Democracy is enough of a joke around rock fans on the internet - dont have to introduce the whole of MTV to it.

  Ive been saying it all along?

[sootn]

VMA's would love I mean love to hear GNR play like a new single there to close the show or whatever. Be great for MTV and GNR. Slightly before the show release a single play it at the VMA's. Its the smart thing todo.

GNR NEW SINGLE on VMA's RATINGS would be out of control gauranteed.

[HoldenCaulfield]

I think after the Hammerstein shows and the European tour (if the rest is as successful as thus far) is over, MTV will see it as a kind of redemption, and they would be welcomed back with open arms. This is a much different beast than in '02.

[bigcash2002]

I'm convinced that without a doubt MTV would LOVE to have GNR back.  MTV ratings would be huge. 

 People love to see Axl and are intrigued by him.  He looks and sounds better, and the band is better than 2002 IMO...lots of buzz is happening right  now and NYC is a great place to debut a new single.  I agree that Axl needs to close the show with the 1st single and not AFD material. 

It would kick ass

[TheGun]

I agree with all of those saying they need a single. I myself, would not want to see them on there doing the same thing as in 02. It would as people are saying make the last melt down after that get the focus. They need a single at least, if not release the album by then. I am not holding my breath on the latter but the former should be done by then anyway.

[SLCPUNK]

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.

haha, crack me up.

Glitch this!
