Axl, Baz N' Bon Jovi..

[LIGuns]

This thread is pointless.... It's all opinion... Go to a Bon jovi message board ... I'm sure it says Jon is 100 times better than Axl.....

The point o' the thread wasn't a potential tour, just an interesting piece on some mega-stars/icons spontaneously getting together..I mentioned a tour because o' all the universal cross genre hits they all have...

If you're after a new crowd, there's always the Rolling Stones.

Wish Keith hadn't hurt his head and this had happened, it would have been amazing!

I was disappointed about that myself.  Thank god we didn't lose Keith.

I think that's a pretty cool story.  These 3 guys have been down the same road.  I would imagine it was a pretty enjoyable evening being with your own kind.

[JAEBALL]

you are correct... i liked reading the story as well...so it wasnt pointless...

what i mean was...it was turning pointless... when it started to be an argument about who is better...which of course is just subjective

[Bodhi]

BTW, I just love how Bodhi goes from kind of defending Bon Jovi, to completely trashing him in his next post. 

haha, I was defending Bon Jovi from being compared to Nickelback, very few bands deserve to be insulted that badly!  As far as the badmouthing Axl thing, Bon Jovi WAS being a little jealous bitch, I just call them like I see em.

[DeN]

that's why I was happy with Axl's choice of "indie" musicians (Finck, Pitman, Bucket, Brain, Tommy, Bumble...) these last years.

even if I fear some kind of mainstream turn for the next LP, Guns will NEVER sound like Bon Jovi

[slashsbaconpit]

I think Bon Jovi said something shitty about Axl not putting out an album for so long at one point.

I don't know. Bon Jovi was what I listened to as a little kid, but I kinda grew out it.

[AxlsMainMan]

Didn't Jon Bon Jovi have some negative things to say about Axl a few years ago? Something about not understanding the fascination over the guy considering the lack of output (I believe this was before CD came out).

yeah he was bitching and moaning because Axl was getting a bunch of attention for not releasing an album, and he was putting out number 1 albums consistently through the 2000's and felt like he wasnt getting enough recognition.  Typical cry baby shit, nevermind the fact that none of his albums were anywhere near as good as CD.

Bon Jovi's keyboardist involved himself too by going on about the late starts.

True, although I can't really think of many bands who haven't had a thing or two to say about the late starts.  Kind of been a running joke for the last quarter century.

Come to think of it wouldn't this be a killer tour introducing the GN'R Live Experience to a new crowd...

Who would headline?

Bon Jovi and GN'R were never compatible on a musical level. They're on two different planets.

I know, I know, they sold X million albums and their tours are sold out blah blah blah. So is Nickelback!

If you're after a new crowd, there's always the Rolling Stones.

Sure... The Rolling Stones...that band is really similar with the "new gnr" approach of Chinese Democracy...

[jarmo]

Playing a show with the legendary Rolling Stones or Bon Jovi?

Come on.


Some of you are so "obsessed" with acting like you run the promoter company, the record label and so on.

You know, all those "GN'R should...." posts by regular fans who have about as much clue as the next fan.



So, with that in mind, if one of you thinks "GN'R should play with Bon Jovi to play in front of a new audience", here's another thought "the Rolling Stones".

There.

They could drag Buckethead if they go to Europe again, cuz I want tho.

@should;
I figured out gnr now is leaning strongly towards classic rock and not stuff like OMG anymore (god I wanna hear that song live again, I think Axl would nail it), so acts like Rammstein or metal-acts like Judas Priest is probably out of the question. Metallica? RHCP?

Skunk!

I'm really annoyed how my posts have been misinterpreted..In no way was I "playing tour manager" or insinuating a possible GN'R/Bon Jovi tour..Just saying it was a cool n' spontaneous meeting o' Rock Royalty....All I meant by a "cool tour" was all though both bands are very different they have casual fans in common n' several cross over hits/classics that would make up for a fun night of music for all in attendance..Just thinking "out loud"...
Anyone have a problem "Get in the Ring"!! LOL.....

[jarmo]

In your case, maybe it was thinking out loud.

In other cases it's people thinking they know better than actual professionals. And saying things that make them feel better, by acting like they actually know something about touring and/or the music business.....

Thats a cool story, would've loved to have heard it.

That Jon blasting Axl thing was in a tabloid. I have a very hard time seeing Jon use that type of language etc in an interview. So I am calling BS on that.


Bon Jovi have the highest grossing tour every time they go out.. so why would they want to split profit for a co headline with anybody?


also, comparing Bon Jovi to Nickelback is ridiculous.

Let's see what Nickelback are doing in 30 years, let's see how many all time classics will still be played on the radio 25 years later.

[raindogs70]

I'm sure Sebastian's pissed Jon AND Axl off!

Wonder who picked up the wine tab, and how much that came out to, and if Axl broke out his stogies..
