No VMAs for GN'R (as of yet)

[parisrocks]

Most of the particulars, including all of the nominees and the performances, have been announced.

No Guns N' Roses.

where they kinda annouced in 2002?

[bazgnr]

Given that they were the "surpise act" of the '02 awards (or was it '01), I doubt very much they'll make an appearance without an album or single out.  It would be nice, though...

[gandra]

they would be nominated for the best live act!!!
I think "my michelle" from donington is the nest live act in last ten years

[slashisvr]

does it matter if they dont perform at the VMA'S? what does the VMA'S matter any how, since when has GNR cared about music awards?

Well, GNR have been a centrepiece of 3 VMAs.

[johnnythunders24]

They usually announce live acts piece by piece up until close to the show to build hype

GNR performing at the VMA's this year will have GNR flashing in litterally millions of poeple heads. Think about it dude... 10 million people sitting around watching the VMA's and hearing Better, and TWAT. (just an example). It's perfect publicity for the US tour and for the album. I don't see why they wouldn't do it.

Because they weren't invited, I'd guess.  Even so, the '02 tour fell apart not long after their last VMA appearance.  For what it's worth, I'd love to see "Better" played for a television audience, on MTV or not...

[TrueRock&Roll]

I think MTV is too focused on emo stuff this year.  I'm guessing we'll have an emo band closing the show.  Just my guess.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Bullet For My Valentine. 

[TrueRock&Roll]

Actually, It'll probably be someone making you wish it was bullet for my valentine.       

[chad_er33]

i don't think this is something they would advertise.  leave it for a special grand finale like before.  imo

[Bandita]

I hope they don't do the VMA's.  MTV doesn't even play rock music here in the US, in fact I am unsure they play any music at all anymore since I can't stand to have it on for more than 2 minutes. 

I don't want to be at a Guns show with thousands of emo-heads just because they saw them on the VMA's.

[bigbri]

GNR at the VMAs would be a home run for us, MTV, GNR and casual music fans. Why would anyone not want them to do it?  The VMAs are the coolest awards show around. Perfect publicity.

  The only time they actually play music, is between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m.  Just a really sad sad thing if you ask me.  Also, MTV2 doesn't show much music either.  What the fuck is that?   Let's define Music Televsion.  It's Music, on television, now if we can get them to put the 2 together. 

[killingvector]

Bullet For My Valentine. 

When they opened for GnR, I was wishing for a Bullet For My Skull.

[Eduardo]

I really hope they don't play it

Do you see any good bands playing this shit nowadays?

I don't want GN'R to share the stage with these emo shitbands, I'm sorry

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Maybe someone should have thrown a coin at them! 


ANYTHING to get them to leave.

I hope they don't open in the U.S..

[Bandita]

I hope they don't do the VMA's.? MTV doesn't even play rock music here in the US, in fact I am unsure they play any music at all anymore since I can't stand to have it on for more than 2 minutes.?

I don't want to be at a Guns show with thousands of emo-heads just because they saw them on the VMA's.

Get them to put it together and then actually play worthwhile music now that would be a feat.  I have to resort to remembering the days when they actually showed videos for the greater part of the day and night and had good shows like Headbangers Ball. I saw something on the VMA's the other day on one of those stupid Entertainment Tonight shows with Justin Timberlake doing announcements for the nominees.  All the usual offenders, Madonna and some other nonsense half of which I have never heard of because I have to resort to watching VH1 Classic now.

So while it would be good exposure for GNR, is it the exposure we really want for them?
