Guns N' Roses Added to Governors Ball (June 7-9th, 2013 in New York)

[Ali]

Is this a bunch of hipsters protesting that a real rock n' roll band was added to a NYC festival?

Oh the horror.

This is par for the course when it comes to hipsters and people from that Brooklyn "indie scene."  They think every successful band is shit except for Radiohead.  They are the most arrogant music fans on earth and only care about shit local bands that have been around since last weekend.  If a band has been around for more than a week it isn't cool to like them anymore.  They are the most closed minded and MISERABLE people that I have ever been around.  They suck.

I am opinionated on music, I say when I think a band sucks, but I would never try to get a band removed from the bill of a show I am going to, who the hell has time for that?  If you don't like the headliner there is an easy solution, leave early.

Well said. Even if I didn't like the band I wouldn't bitch as much as those people. I certainly would try and get a band kicked off a bill.

Music snobs have always been around. People make petitions for all sorts of crap, it's not enough to get a band kicked off because a handful of people felt like bitching about it. Surprised they're not trying to get Kanye kicked off the bill.

Metal was "indie", but no one ever went around calling it "indie metal". "Indie label" used to mean "front for the mafia".

[slash&axl]

Yeah, who the fuck do they think they are

GNR are the best live band in the world

I bet most people who signed this aren't even going

[bolton]

this is gnr support petition...lets support gnr

[CBGNR]

They should duct tape that guy with his anti Gnr petition stuffed in his mouth to a GNR amp for the full set that day.

Hipsters:

the absolute -worst- social group to emerge since... old school hipsters. Not cool then, not cool now; douche bag level: 100%.

Got a reply from the hipster who started that hate petition..lol It made me laugh...

"Re: Stupid Statements

Thanks for your channeled hate man! To be honest I don't particularly care, I just despise everything that Axl Rose stands for. He's a homophobic, racist, washed up asshole who ruins everything he touches. Slash was the only talented member of that band, and he's gone now. I'm petitioning, so deal with it."

I find it funny cause I am a gay guy, and so I had to rely again, to this dumbass.

So when is Axl's lawyer filing against this chucklehead for making a slanderous statement?

[jazjme]

Be happy to help in that cause!

[cineater]

Now boys, it only adds fuel to the fire if you start exchanging insults with this guy.  How about if you educate him on what you think Axl stands for based on the evidence you've found instead of what this person thinks based on the news stories, rumors and various other trash he's built his opinion on?

[JAEBALL]

ahhhhh who cares

any reputation Axl Rose has.... he created for himself...

its not alllll lies and media nonsense.....

but all of it makes him the kick ass rockstar that he is and is part of why we all first liking GNR to begin with

if some loser from Brooklyn doesnt like him... i dont give a shit

[WAR41]

Good lord, better yet who cares?  GNR are playing, everyone knows the band's history so there are no surprises.  This is such a non-story and anyone who gets worked up over it is as bad as the guy who started the petition.  Just make fun of him for being a Prius driving vegan hipster who grows his own shitty vegetables from his 2nd story apartment window and move on.  

[allwaystired]

Haha! Guns N Roses are STILL getting people's noses out of joint! Brilliant!

That's never changed, has it? People complained about them in the 80s, they're still complaining now! They SHOULD be complaining about Kings Of Leon- the most boring live act on the planet!

[LIGuns]

Sure go ahead remove GN'R from this shitty bill and have them play down the road at the new Barclay Center!! Go ahead Wake the Sleeping Giant, Piss off the Big Dog and the Machine known as GN'R will show Brooklyn how the big boys do it!!

[raindogs70]

I think GNR on the bill is excellent publicity.

The funny thing is, that's the same place where Metallica did Lollapalooza, and I think there was the same reaction from concertgoers.

[Bodhi]

Honestly this is a badge of honor that GNR are not being accepted by some of the concert goers here.  There is nothing rebellious or punk rock about this festival, its a bunch of critic darlings,  I don't want closed minded people liking my favorite band, which I guess makes me kind of closed minded, oh well.

[LIGuns]

Lets start our on petition to get GN'R off of this dirt field festival and playing a headlining gig elsewhere in Brooklyn or NYC on that very night...I previously mentioned the Barklay Center..I picture Axl coming out in a Jackie Roninson Brooklyn Dogers jersey after an intro of the Beatie Boys A Letter to NYC and NO Sleep till Brooklyn.

[One.In.A.Million]

That guy is an asshole, a typical busy body who can't stand a proper rock n' roll band being on the bill. He needs to shut his mouth and let people enjoy GN'R, which they undoubtedly will. The organisers are loving the press this losers bringing to the festival, that's why they booked Guns, to get the festival more attention... So this idiot is wasting his own time in this tirade. 

[jazjme]

Not that it really matter but this is what i replied .


RE: Re: Stupid Statements

Your funny, I am a gay man, I have seen the band 25+ times since 87 , I have met all the guys in the band including Axl over the yrs, old and new, and you are so further from the truth if you think you know anything, Slash quit, Axl still plays with Duff, Izzy, the band now is far more superior live than anything out there. You can petition but it won't change a damn thing. Ill be at the show enjoying every moment. !!!

Peace dude , get some facts before you make claims.

I just find it amusing that the same people who protest for equality on all issues are the same people who protest these kinds of things. I thought there was freedom of speech in this country. They seem to think that freedom of speech only applies to what they believe in.
