GN'R in Dublin (no Motley Crue!) - Avenged Sevenfold supporting

[BLS-Pride]

Me too. Well not really.. I wish i was on a long vactation in Europe this Spring.

[MR W,AXL ROSE]

could someone tell me if its only gonna be motley crue then GNR at this show.

[gally]

the radio stations are playing adverts for the concert very regular, over here.

motley crue will defiently open for guns,

great to here the adverts.

I doubt it, on the Download Festival website they use the old GnR writing/symbol.

But I don't know how they are aloud because Slash owns the copyright to the old GnR logo, unless . . . . . 

And how exactly do you know this?

I don't know it for a fact, but I've heard people who know there history say it and I believe them.

And you think after Axl battled to keep the name Guns N Roses that he wouldn't use the recognizable logo if he could ?

Why would he use the old logo from 20 years ago? He updated the band so it would only make sense to update the logo.

He uses the old logo in combination with the new logo.

Maybe it represents a transition from the old to the new.

so that logo on the site is for real then? I thought it wasnt real...

Well, I can't imagine any promoter making their own logos for the artist.

Usually the artists send promo pics or logos for sites and posters.

Ok, where have i been the last few years, i thought Axl n Vince never settled there differences...

[The Dog]

Last I read, the guys in Motley, mainly Vince, were just saying how that feud is totally dead....time has just killed it.  I think he said something like, its been over ten years, you just have to let shit like that go.  And then they went on about how they just want him to release some new music already.

[philspectorshotme]

yea. and besides, its unlikely axl will have much dealing with them backstage anyways. he'll in his hotel or his trailer or dressing room(s) until show time. then stay in for another hour. take a limo 10 or so feet to stage entrance and play. i be surprise if they crossed paths.

and im sure that theyre all able to look back on those times now and have a laugh.

[Christos AG]

Axl is a very emotional person (from what we've seen) but he's also 44 years old.

People grow up as they grow old...

[grendood]

what an aweful support.

[SOLGER]

I sawy we go and kick the shit outta Motley fans...have you seen their comments on their forum? Vince Neil talentless pig! 

[philspectorshotme]

but i also think he actually has a dedication to getting this material out. (though it might not seem like it at times).


i really cant see him letting small fry like motely crue upset the applecart. his work is too important to waste his time with nonsense like vince neil. and though it may still annoy him (and hope to fuck we get a quip or two from him about them during the show - how fucking funny would that be?!), i think he has it together enough not to be bothered by them on the bill. and i honestly dont think they'll even come in contact with each other.


and yes grendood, it is an awful support. there are few bands i can stand even less than motely crue. but if thats the price to pay, thats the price to pay.

[Gunner80]

God that's fucking AMAZING! My two favorite bands playing a gig together.


P.S. Grendood, FUCK OFF already!!

[Mike McKagan]

I'm an old-school gunner, and the idea of Axl Rose and Vince Neil being in the same zip code strikes me as hard to believe.  Thoughts?

[kupirock]

what an aweful support.

Agree, worst possible after poison and cinderella...

[Allman]

I think it's cool, better old school than some shitty new band that I don't get but then again i'm 31?

[The Dog]

what an aweful support.

Agree, worst possible after poison and cinderella...

you forgot dokken, slaughter, warrant, faster pussycat....i could go on

motley was a decent band back in the day.  i wouldn't call myself a fan, but i think I could listen to a best of Crue CD over half the crap out today on modern rock radio.

[Freya]

I'm sure there will be hype around an Axl/Vince showdown, not that anything will materialize, but it will be funny imagining it.  We'll see if Axl even deigns to talk to MC.

[SOLGER]

Vince Neil will poop his pants as soon as he sees Earl...   Vince is a fat little pig, I heard Axl does kick boxing.

[HoldenCaulfield]

VERY interesting. Color me shocked. I never thought Motley and GNR would share the same stage. This is turning out the be the biggest summer for rock music in YEARS! Guns, Metallica, Alice in Chains, Tool, Motley Crue, Avenged Sevenfold, etc. Awesome...

[Vicious Wishes]

I saw the Crue a couple of weeks ago. The show was pretty good, but Vince wasn't "on" at all. Nikki, Tommy, Mick, all were very good. But Vince...sorry, no.

ps. (I did like the "titty cam" that Tommy brought out about 3/4 of the way).

pss.- I can think of a dozen(at least) worse openers.
