VMA's in Las Vegas this year (no facts, just opinion)

[patcooper]

Tour ends 7/21
GnR comes back to the U.S. and turns the record in, plans release, promotion, etc.
August - Announcement of album date, single released
August - Go to Europe and support Rolling Stones at Sloan as rumored (not sure if this has been confirmed as false) and set up a few dates in other countries previously not visted.
September - start big promotion push (VMA's, magazines, etc.)
October - new single released, album released
November - February - South American and U.S. tour

You should be their manager.? That sounds perfect to me.

Sounds more like a Merck thing... I don't think Axl wants a manager that sets a timetable.
BTW, you forgot one step: GNR gets back to the studio and re-records all tracks. Then just add 2008 to all the dates.

well then why would they waste time mixing the album for the past 6 months?

Why? It sure wouldn't be the first time. When the mixing is done and Axl isn't satisfied they'll have to "take a step back". Would that really surprise any of us?

not gonna happen this year...

After stirring up the music world by announcing two upcoming high-profile gigs, Guns N' Roses have dropped another bomb: The band plans to release its new album in June.
The summer release date for the long-awaited Chinese Democracy, announced by the band's management company, corresponds with a headlining tour the band announced in October.

The album will be the group's first studio effort since the 1993 covers collection The Spaghetti Incident? and the band's first album of original material since 1991's two Use Your Illusion albums.

News of the release comes on the heels of last week's announcement that the band will play its first U.S. show in seven years at the House of Blues in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve.

Singer Axl Rose is the band's only remaining original member. Along with veteran GN'R keyboardist Dizzy Reed, the band's current lineup includes former Replacements bassist Tommy Stinson, lead guitarists Robin Finck and Buckethead, rhythm guitarist Paul Tobias, and former Primus drummer Bryan "Brain" Mantia.

They'll use their New Year's live debut to warm up for a January 14 appearance at the Rock in Rio for a Better World benefit in Brazil. According to the band's management, Guns N' Roses' Vegas setlist will closely mirror their set for the Brazilian festival and could last up to two hours. The Rock in Rio date is expected to be GN'R's last live appearance before the launch of their world tour.

Behold! That annual "VMAs Thread".

I'd love to see it, but I doubt it.

I was happier reading about Patcooper's Suicide post with a Faldor.? I was laughing at the screen names but the post were pretty good, then came the old MTV post.? I was enjoying the posts till then.? ?

It's priorities are pretty clear.  To make crappy reality programming.

Don't let that M in front of TV fool you.

I doubt GN'R shows this year.  Axl was just there last year.

They usually run commercials in about a few weeks.  If Axl/GN'R isn't listed, the only hope is a surprise, and with a surprise comes disappoint.  So don't get your hopes up for no reason!  If it happens, that's great.  But don't put too much stock into it.

I read an article today, Britney Spears is supposed to make her comeback at the VMAs. With all the media attention on her, I doubt GNR would even want to perform. 

[Lord Kayoss]

I doubt Axl would want to rehash something that's already been done once.  Unless the album was truly ready to go and the tour to follow it, not happen in the US before it.  It was proven in '02 that doesn't cut it here, unfortunately.  It's gonna take a hit record with a solid promotion to kick it off on the large scale in the US.
