Entertainment Weekly suggests GN'R could perform at VMA's

[Ulises]

so have i missed something?

 

[rocky]

I just noticed that the first leg of the NIN tour ends on Sept. 6 in California.  The VMA's are on Sept. 7 In California (The very next day).  Robin would have no problem playing with the band if they do indeed play the VMA's.

Would be killer to see Guns reload for the VMAs!!

The annual VMA appearance rumor mill is in full swing early this year.   

If the band doesn't have time to polish their performance, I really don't want them to force it.

with the new song coming out, I can see them being there. Come on its going to be in the "JUNGLE" after all.

See GN'R on VMA would be fuckin' awesome.

World will rock again!

We are a big family really 

It is good to see the new fans, but there are alot of people who have actively followed Guns since the last album. Even those on the newsgroup. And it is good to see them active again, whether it be here or somewhere else. 

Very well said, I must say.

I've been following GnR since early 1987...when my uncle (who lived in LA at the time) sent me a bootleg of Live....Like a Suicide on casette (which, FYI, I STILL have kicking around).  I LOVED it...and I can't believe it's been over 20 years.

They came out to the east coast with Aerosmith, JUST before (well, actually, WHILE) Appetite broke HUGE.  I saw them at the Orange County Fairgrounds in New York in August of '88. I was 14.  That show was fucking sick....and that was it.  That show was the final straw.....and I've been hooked ever since.  Even during the "lean years" (before I knew anything of HTGTH) when info was sparse...Appetite, Lies, and UYI were always either IN my CD player, or near by so they could be popped in.

I think that's what makes all the recent stuff so sweet.....not only that it's happening, but that I also know (and can participate in) a community that gets just as excited as I do.  I feel like I'm hanging with my buddies back in high school, talking about the UYI albums and when would they FINALLY come out!?!  As much as we all bicker, argue, and pester each other some times......well, suffice to say, you said it best:

We are a big family really

I'm a newer fan, been on the board since mid 2003 when I came across chinese democracy and proud of it.

When will MTV announce the band/artist?

When will MTV announce the band/artist?

dont matter, they most likely wouldnt announce GnR even if they were playing the show

This time they will. It doesnt make sense if they dont...

[Mr. Nik™]

I'd like a four songs set: Shackler's Revenge, Better, Sweet child, Paradise City

[axl2]

If GNR do play I'd want them closing out the show. I'd prefer to hear the new song obviously and Better as well as 2 classics like the above poster stated.

Yeah. After all they're gonna want all the publicity they can get, if there's gonna be a release date this year. I'm not saying they'd need it, but it usually helps a bit anyway.

I still contend that even though there were problems in 2002, it's still one of the greatest performances ever.

The energy was incredible. Coupled with the benefits of a more experienced and a cohesive band a 2008 performance would slay.

I agree there's just something about that performance that always draws me in.

don't forget chinese democracy.

[mrbucketfoot]

No "Sweet Child". Axl's never performed that song good in his life. Haha.

Who cares what they play, but I'd love to hear "Madagascar".

[Mr. Nik™]

don't forget chinese democracy.

It's a TV show, not a GNR concert... I don't think they'll could perform a "long" set.... maybe The Blues instead of Scom
