Duff's Loaded will open shows for GN'R

[Spirit]

From Eddie Trunk's twitter:

We did ask Axl about R&R Hall, new music, his lateness, this lineup, playing with Duff (said Loaded will open shows) and more.




For those unaware, Eddie and That Metal Show did an interview with Axl this morning.

[Spirit]

Unless Loaded are to cancel any of their current shows, they have November fully booked, but December is wide open..

[lagr08]

Awesome.  Imagine. Still no mention if he asked about upcoming music but I'm sure he did.  Not that it really matters anyhow.  I coulda died happy after CD but I recently find myself wondering "what if?"  I know, talk about ungrateful fans, we got more material than many others but still we want more.  Take it as a testament to the consistent quality of the music.  It's all so good and we just know there's so much more to be had.  No wonder my wife calls me a GNR-Junkie...

[gnr-4-ever]

Great stuff! I'm one of those who don't like spoilers so that's enough details for me.

Can't wait to see the interview.

OMG, not the song but OMG, can't believe I missed that!  Thanks.  And to think, I actually read it twice.

Loaded is booked across Europe in November so that's too bad.  Nov. 12th KC, wonder if there will be an opening band?

Can't believe Axl did and interview with Eddie again, let alone that Loaded may be opening for GN'R, perfect.

Things have changed alot regarding Axl's relationship with former gunners and Axl talking about various things he would never discuss or playing songs he would never play usually. It seems like Axl has finally realised that life is too short to keep things under an umbrella, and he seems to just want to let everything out the closet literally.

However, I do miss the Nu GN'R era days (1999-2007) when GN'R seemed to only exist onstage. And when Axl was out to prove himself to be GN'R's strongest link, and wanted to distance himself from GN'R's "traditional" image, as much as possible..... you can call it the Chinese Democracy era I guess. Even back in 2006, if someone would have told me that Duff's band will be opening for GN'R, I would have laughed and totally dismissed the idea as being fantasy and farfetched.

But here we are in 2011 and things are happening in GN'R land, that seemed impossible a few years back. 

I don't know how to react to it, I want to celebrate and think how cool things are now. But at the same time I want to joyfully remember a time period where GN'R where mysterious, and seemed to do things in codes. And at a time where Axl was out to destroy the myth of the old band, by not only changing the bands musical direction, but also to change GN'R's whole image and appeal..... I loved that time period.

Izzy joined them on stage in '06 though, so it wasn't that far fetched. Surprising, yes.

To be honest it would have been considered as farfetched, Izzy was always neatral with Axl through GN'R's original line-up demise. But Duff was seen publicly to be on Slash's side, and even spoke about Axl in interviews in a negatively way with Slash by his side. And in 2002, Axl spoke about Slash and Duff in a negative manner, so it was a different situation to Izzy.

Axl, Steven and Izzy all where neatral....... where as Slash and Duff went in a different direction and almost stood against Axl for being a dictator and for being the "problem" with the old band. So for us to be sitting here talking about Duff opening up for GN'R, is a much bigger deal than Izzy joining GN'R for a few songs in 2006.

If you go by the Slash tech. already being out of the band in 95, just not offically till 96, then Duff was there at least 1 or 2 years  after Slash left.

Presumably it's not that clear and cut.

welcome back duff to the family

Without trying to offend you but this comment is total crap (for me)

If this is true, there's just no words that can justify how huge it is. Lucky americanos!!!

[gnr85]

Well then you know for sure Duff will play more songs with GnR on stage. Im not trying to jump too far ahead but RnR hall of shame will be calling soon. Im thinking Axl will show with old members and Slash already said he will be there

What's total crap, the fact that thousands and thousands of fans loved the time period when GN'R where starting back up, and seemed to be heading into a different musical direction (OMG, Silkworms, Riad). And the fact is, is that when Slash and Duff both formed VR in 2003, they both gave interviews where they talked about Axl in a negative light. And it was all the crap about how VR where the most dangerous band in the world, and how they together with Scott where like brothers.

So yes, I do still think that it's a huge leap from going from that, to Duff opening shows for the new incarnation of GN'R.......Why is that hard to comprehend for some people. 

[GNR4L]

Oh man I can't wait to see loaded hopefully they open at the Vancouver show.
