Guns N' Roses to Reunite for Coachella, Possible stadium tour (Billboard)

[TheBaconman]

This board is going to explode with old for ten faces pretty soon.  Which is good because things were getting a little stale. 

I am not a festivals guy at all.   I hope there is a ppv broadcast or a live feed.   Then a blue ray release. 

I will Tavel any place in North America to see this band in concert in a stadium or arena.   Can't wait

Come down to Gilette (sorta, kinda, near boston...well, in mass anyway) or metlife, near nyc. First round on me? 

[jarmo]

Gilette and MetLife would be givens. I can do either...maybe both. That pricing would be the only killer.

As far as I know, there's more than 25 football teams?
So which ones wouldn't get a show?

LA has no NFL team....

I'm not 100% sure who Mitch Lafon is... but I know I've heard of him.

Anyways he tweeted this:

For those of you that missed 1986 the first time around - have no fear it'll be back in 2016 on so many fronts.

For an opening act on the tour, I would love for it to be Halestorm.

Holy fuck weasels, YES!!

Pretty Reckless are much better. Lzzy gets annoying after 5 songs. Taylor is so damn sexy.

[Deez Nuts]

Wow!  Big night!  Gonna be intense on here the night of the first concert.

Lots of big and famous users online tonight from the past 15 years. Some I met in New York 10 years ago that I haven't thought about since then, some at a Velvet Revolver concert 12 years ago, and a couple that even helped me learn guitar like Voodoo and Meanbone.  

So weird reflecting on the life of a GNR fan. I first hopped on here the night of the VMA's as a sophomore in college and now I learn about this article while giving my second child a bath.  I can't imagine what kind of ride it's been like for fans since the beginning.  Tonight has to have a surreal feel to it.

While it is technically from another band, it does have a little history for Axl and Slash... Maybe trade favors, you sing Fall to Pieces and I'll play This I Love?

One is heavily associated with another band and singer, the other one isn't....




/jarmo

I would love to hear Axls take on "fall too pieces".  I think it would be great.  Especially considering he has mentioned he heard the original melody years ago

I also agree it would be considered a cover song.    As it was written by another band.    

However guns has lots of covers.    I for one would t be saddened to see me of them dropped in favor of this one

[C0ma]

You could say the same for Live And Let Die or Knockin' On Heaven's Door to be fair. If Axl can step on stage with Slash again I'd say all bets are off at this point.

You could say that, but only if you conveniently disregard other facts.
Yes, they were originally written and recorded by people who aren't GN'R. But they weren't written or recorded by people who were in GN'R while they weren't in GN'R.

I'm sure you knew that.



/jarmo

Completely agree with the facts at hand, but there is going to have to be some give and take... It's not like Axl isn't benefiting from taking the stage with Slash (maybe more so than Slash is from taking the stage with him). I don't expect Axl to ignore 2000-2014... you can't expect Slash and Duff to either.

Will these songs be setlist cornerstones, I would't expect that, but I wouldn't rule them out as random one offs. Maybe for instance Slash starts playing something like Anastasia as his solo piece live and it organically expands from there like the Don't Cry sing along.

[younggunner]

This is sounding like its going to be an all out GnFR assault!

I will definitely be at MetLife.

[jazjme]

Metlife  would be a giving for sure. Very exciting indeed!

Not being familiar with all that is Coachella - is there any shot of them streaming or payperviewing this?

There's a chance yes. Youtube streamed last year.

very nice!!!

[norway]

Even though I'm not a fan of Myles I'd like to think Slash had more respect for him than to turn him into a sidenote at his own show.

Who's own show? Isn't is Slash with a backingband?

/jarmo

LA has a couple big stadiums close by. I'd assume they play the Rose Bowl in Pasedena, but they have a couple options. And some of the big division one colleges have huge stadiums, too. So its not just nfl stadiums.

I'd bet LA, san fran, boston, nyc, miami, dallas , chicago, detroit, and, apparently, vegas are pretty sure bets.  Probably seattle, washington dc, denver, and new orleans. Maybe kansas city, pheonix,  and Wisconsin (green bay). They might find something in the upper central u.s. area, too....likely a college stadium.

All hypothetically, of course.

There are 32 teams and the NY teams share a stadium.  Green Bay wont get a show, too small of a metropolitan area.  They won't be limited to just football stadiums. The craze the last few years has been a "summer concert series" in baseball stadiums and college football stadiums.  For example, Target Field is a baseball stadium in Minnesota that for about five straight years has hosted a country concert that sells out.  Half the people that go to those just like to post a facebook status to say they are watching an outdoor concert at a cool baseball stadium.

If they don't do a stadium in LA, AEG runs Staples Center.
