I guess it was all a misunderstood. This week in American Idol they had a country night:

did anyone catch how terrible the Michael Jackson covers came out?

I don't want to see anyone screwing up and screeching the words to GNR music.

I don't think the previous article gave an actual date for "Guns N' Roses" night, it didn't say it was supposed to be this week.  In fact, the more I think about it, I'm guessing it was just wishful thinking by the reviewer.

or hypothetical talking.

Wait. People actually thought this was going to happen?? I was only in this thread discussing the pros and cons of actually doing a GNR night. I didn't know anyone actually believed it was happening.

Hell maybe someone will do a good cover . Who knows...

  I can't see that - mind you miracles can happen.

maby if the person had the same kind of vision like Axl and a good blues voice then i could see it happen

I thought it could happen, yes. But I didn't think the band would actually had something to do with this, but rather just some people singing GN'R. I didn't know anything about if it they could do this without any word from Axl, tho.

carrie underwood covers GnR quite frequently on her tours and does a good job and has done Sweet Child, Paradise City, Patience and Novemeber Rain-all very well......not sure if she needs permission when touring

Yeah. I think I would LMAO to see a GNR night on Idol. Especially since they get to interpret their own songs. Could you imagine some of the shit that would come out of that night? Clay Aiken singing Mr. Brownstone. Sorry I'm regressing. Plus, they would all have to pick a different song and some of the songs might be thought of as too offensive. Like I used to lover her.     I would watch it though just for the entertainment value and laughs.

Im sure there is royalties involved or is that just for studio/album versions ?

Last season, there was a contestant from Axl's hometown.  I've forgotten her name, but she was one of the rocker chicks.  Anyway, she wanted to perform a GN'R song, but couldn't because Axl denied permission to use whatever song it was.  I'd be surprised if that situation has changed.  Although, Axl was name-dropped during the audition rounds (IIRC, the first episode).  It was nothing important; Ryan Seacrest simply mentioned Axl while talking to some rocker-wannabe.  And at one point in time, the AI tour included "Patience".

Weird.. a couple of years ago,one of the contestants in swedish idol sang sweet child..
