The questions is, for how long can the VMAs keep getting worse and worse?
They've gotta bounce back some year right?
/jarmo
Yes and what better way to bounce back than with GNR? I loved the 02 performance,I remember screaming out the window and bouncing off chairs. I think a medly is too much, just hit them with Revenge!!! What was everyones beef with 02? It's R N R not the Ballet.Jarmo, how did you like 02? Was Axl tired like flown in from somewhere?

PLEASE IRV PLEASE!!! HAVE MERCY ON US!!! DON'T LET GNR PLAY THE VMAs!!!
As great as it would be to see GNR do anything, it's just not worth the other 2+ hours of the other shit we'd have to sit through!!!!

The thing is, is that it's just not entertaining to watch. The host's are almost robotic, the jokes are predictible, it's still rap and r/b driven. I think GNR doing a set like GreenDay on VH1 a few years ago to promote American Idiot, would be better. Now MTV is a house hold name, and the exposure would make sense, but my thing is this, its that MTV isn't promoting good rock and roll music, they rather promote more rap and r/b. I mean come on, how many times are they going to show the pussycat dolls, granted they're hot, but the music sucks ! When they had Coldplay open the movie awards, it was like the people didnt know how to respond to the music. The people at the award show and watching arent watching to see GNR, theyre more interested if Eminem makes a comeback or Rihanna performing. All I'm saying is MTV isnt about good rock and roll anymore, they more about shitty rap and r/b. If GNR goes on the show, it gives MTV more exposure. Sure GNR is seen on MTV, but if its not for GNR then it doesnt help. I know that sounds confusing.

I think he played leeds fest the night before which ended really late, they would have played reading festival too but they had to go back to play the VMA's.
they played london the monday after leeds and i think they played in another european country in that time between. 3 days after london they played the VMA's

the band played fucking awesome. Axl was in top form during Madagascar. it wasn't his best performance but it wasn't a disaster by any measures, even Axl says it was.

I agree, Madagascar was great during that medley. Jungle was a bit messy and Axl messed up some of the lyrics aside from being winded. But he was running around like a maniac and they cut the song down so that's somewhat excusable. Paradise City wasn't as good as Maddy, but better than Jungle. Agreed though, they played with so much energy that that overshadows any flaws within the performance as far as I'm concerned.

I completely agree, I mean damn it was fuckng GUNS N ROSES< that place exploded when they came on, and sure there were some flaws, but damn, it was how many yrs before Axl and the band were in front of a world wide audience, I think it was more over adrenaline, than anything, as I still love that performance.

even though it was only a short version,
Axl hasnt sound better on madagascar to date, then he did at the vma's
and that includes how he did in 06/07, his high pitched voice fits perfectly for that song

I enjoyed the fuck out of it! Can you have imagine working that and seeing the GNR equipment arriving? No way Axl would have walked in there for rehearsals to a quiet house with me in the room. I would have had to start clapping.
And when they came on, the whole place came out of their chairs. What I really remember of that night was thinking, Oh my god it's Axl for real. On line the boards exploded. It was a great time to be a GNR fan.

I think alot of people had trouble accepting the look of the band, meaning Finck looking all gothic, Buckethead looking like Buckethead, Tommy's plaid suit, and of course Axl in an oversized jersey and dreads. I had not problem with, it was kind of like seeing Michael Jordan wear #45.

when I checked the clip with my own eyes I didn't get the horrible comments I saw in fan forums. Other than a few seconds, like right after the ban scream, where there seemed to be a problem with axls earpiece or something, the performances were great and energetic.
It seems that altho shocked, most fans actually liked it. However every now and then some people bring up their negative opinion on the show as if it was public consensus. The same is true with OMG, or the 2002 vocals/look.

I agree with GNR - NOW on this - that costume was absolutely awful.

I loved the 02 VMA performance. It was before I started coming on the forums so I had no idea they were gonna be there. Every time Jimmy Fallon said something close to being a "GNR comment" I got more and more excited. Then when the band came on I went nuts! I was literally yelling and screaming at the tv.
