Metallica make offer to tour with Guns N' Roses

[uzisuicide2002]

i don't see this tour happening this year. Metallica has shows booked till late this year.

[Dayle1066]

The only thing with this is GNR would be the opener.

I don't know how Axl would handle not being the BAND

Metallica > GNR when it come to tours. Metallica sells out stadiums and GNR...

Basically having seen the new band and seen the new Metallica with Rob on bass I would pay to see Metallica and would only go to see new GNR if someone paid for me to go.

Dude no disrespect but...what a hell are u doing here??...did u buy CD? or someone has to pay for u to have it?

Seriously, people can be fans of guns and they dont have to be that persons favourite band.

It is important to note though how much more popular Metallica are these days compared to Guns (even though its obvious whos 2008 release was great and whos was crap). It would create more problems and besides id rather just see GN'R as the big thing for that night

are you fucking high?  "Death Magnetic" was the second best album of the year(behind CD)...aside from the producing which they did intentionally, it was a fucking sick album...They play ALL of the songs live, thats how good it was...best album of theirs since 1991's black album, which happens to be the biggest album of the sound scan era...

aside from that you are right, I think Guns are better than Metallica, but Metallica are FAR "bigger"...didnt "Death Magnetic" debut number 1 in every country that has electricity or indoor plumbing? and even a few that dont? 

I would much rather see GNR in a headlining spot....

Its not that I dont like the ideas on Death Magnetic, its just that I feel like its one vocal melody and riff for each song which was then dragged out for over 6 or 7 minutes. Its just something which has made me not be able to listen to it anymore. Crap was just the word I chose to summarise my feeling towards it lol.

Are gnr fans not allowed to dislike Death Magnetic or Metallica?

Of course, but calling it crap is a little ignorant don't you think?

I mean, the quality of the record is huge...

tastes differ.

Exactly, taste differs, but calling it crap because you don't like it is just a worthless statement since it's obvious that it is not.

I wasn't exactly about coldplay. coldplay is a decent band tho.
my point was that we are free to like or dislike any band save gnr as we're fan forum members. and yes erose we should know better than to crap on others tastes in music.

Not only is viva la vida crap, but it's plagiarized crap from Joe Satriani!

at least someone here knows Better

[CheapJon]

I just sent robert trujillo some questions, he's chatting on a swedish website, not a big chance of him answering them though, i bet there's loads of people sending in questions

i asked about his thoughts on CD, if he could see tallica and GNR do a coheadlining tour and if he'd prefer to go on before or after GNR


EDIT: questions denied 

i was gonna solve this case

[sandman]

no "offer" was made. here's how the conversation went...

Journalist: "On the topic of drama and tragedy, would you guys ever consider touring with Guns N' Roses again now that they're back out there?"

Drummer Lars Ulrich actually shakes his head and mouths "no," before becoming a bit more diplomatic: "As James was saying earlier 'we're road dogs and we love to tour' so if that opportunity ever came in the right situation, of course."

anyway, metallica is booked through early august with more U.S. dates to be announced soon.

The next leg of METALLICA's North American tour in support of the band's latest album, "Death Magnetic", will start in Sepember in Nashville, Tennessee and will include a date at the world-famous Madison Square Garden in New York City.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Probably "members of" certain bands.

[GNRFAN20]

No tour with Metallica is going to happen.

[Continental Drift]

Probably "members of" certain bands.

Exactly... and it will probably be some throw away quote from Gilby Clarke (who I love... but still...) like: "Metallica was the hardest rocking band out there. They kicked ass!" And then they get to slap the "Guns N' Roses" name on there. That's usually how these things work.

I think it's an older interview.  That is the same thing the press release said when this launched in August of 08.
