GN'R @ KROQ Inland Invasion

[Jizzo]

i was at the show, and they played for 45 minutes or so as planned

[WeHeldTogether]

have you ever been to a kroq show?

motley headlined last year and got 8 or 9

motley crue headlined the weenie roast not inland.
but RHCP headlined weenie roast this year and they played 15 songs.

[axlrosegnr]

I never even heard about this festival. What makes it so important?

It's sponsored by the most recognized rock radio station in the US, a station that's barely even acknowledged GNR in any form at anytime that's now reached out to the band, a station that had been (until Indie 103.1 came along) thought of as the leading source for new music in the US for the past 15 years.

Beyond the above, it's GNR's entree' back in the US musical train of thought and chance to reach
fanbase that's not exactly been GNR friendly.

THE most recognized???  Shit...no one outside of LA has ever heard of it...unless of course we wanna go see gnr....it's not that huge of a deal outside of LA....and theres many LA stations that have more credibility of a "rock" station than KROQ

[Jizzo]

kroq is the only new rock station in la. klos plays hits only

[Falcon]

THE most recognized?

Absolutely.

Shit...no one outside of LA has ever heard of it...

Wrong.

I've never even been to LA and I know what KROQ is.

[Steel_Angel]

ooo conspiracy..

Falcon, they played the demo for Jungle first.  And, funny to say it, that's the only "classic" song they ever play.

I don't listen to KROQ in my car, maybe if I'm with my cousin.  KLOS is where it's at.  Too bad they don't endorse Guns, but they've been plugging the Iron Maiden and Rolling Stones concerts for L.A.

And I would have never heard of Inland Invasion....Weenie Roast I've heard of, and Acoustic Christmas, but not Inland.  Go figure.

I doubt that there will be any setlist change for this show , at all, I still want to go, but I posted earlier on this, it will basically be an extention of the euro shows, since GNR have not played the west coast at all fro a very long time. So they deservr to see this set as well IMO.

Falcon, they played the demo for Jungle first.? And, funny to say it, that's the only "classic" song they ever play.

Yep, they sure did.? If I remember correctly it was debuted back in '86 at some point.

As the type of things go, I expect KROQ will up the frequency of GNR tunes as the event draws closer, I can't see them spinning November Rain?but it's safe to say they may put SCOM and/or PC in the rotation.?

A new single would  fit nicely, wouldn't it?

And I would have never heard of Inland Invasion....Weenie Roast I've heard of, and Acoustic Christmas, but not Inland.? Go figure.?

Inland's definitely 3rd on the totem pole as far as KROQ sponsored events go behind the 2 you mentioned above, all seem to have taken a backseat to Coachella at this point.

No matter, it's a step in the right direction.

Very positive.

so no more GNR on the frontpage

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Yeah, playing SCOM or PC would be a nice touch for sure....and then to slip a single on us. 

I agree, a lot of positive steps are being taken.  Now if only we heard something on the radio, or more info or anything.....usually KROQ type deals are known months in advance.

That had me worried yesterday for some time, but I have been checking it daily and they keep changing the wording. They changed it again today. SO hopefully means nothing.

[BurningHills]

I just called KROQ - the girl I spoke to said that yes, GNR is still headlining...so no worries! 

[JB9988]

So, I guess this show will be aired live on the radio...

given the umm..salty language axl and alot of those other bands use, i question whether they would broadcast the whole show on radio...don't want to ruffle the FCC...hopefully a webcast though!

FUCK THE FCC!!! They can still put the show on the internet and watch the stream they cant do shit about that

they wouldn't broadcast it on the radio, only some of it.  however i'm sure the video will be on the website. (live webcast)

[fear the juggalo]

kroq is huge!!! ticket info will be anounced this monday. they are playing guns in the commercial. kroq is owned by the same people who own cbs, mtv, disney. so i would say kroq is very big. you may not like the station but they are big. ( besides they flew me to austria to see the nova rock festival ).

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Mmmm ticket info.  What time on Monday?  If you happened to catch it....

[YouCouldBeMine]

How could I get my hands on some of these, or is it too late? 

[cotis]

i dont believe tickets are on sale yet..
