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

[C0ma]

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....

jarmo

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.

Fenway and Wrigley have been doing that for years too... the issue is they are going to pretty much sell out anything you put their stage in, so why limit it. A football stadium will have better viewing angles and more seats (counting the field) plus typically (not always) there are more luxury boxes and high end club seats in an NFL stadium. Cowboys Stadium for example could seat over 100,000 people with tons of luxury box seats, plus parking is much better at a Football Stadium than a baseball park (for the most part Yankees Stadium being an outlier). Even the very large college stadiums (like Tennesse, Michigan, Ohio State etc... will lose luxury box revenue that the average newer NFL stadium can give you.

Jarmo...you are going to fund the htgth all star luxury box tour, right? :p

My company (for the time being) has the naming rights for the luxury box level at Gillette Stadium, and I got a handful of tickets for the AC/DC, Taylor Swift, and Country Fest shows there this summer. I'll get us the box, if Jarmo can get us back stage.

Rolling Stone were on the ball through the summer and up until November regarding the reunion rumors. All of December, the movie teaser and now this Billboard article... not a word.

Again, just saying.

[C0ma]

Too bad Kimmel isnt on CBS so that they could advertise the hell out of the performance and then play the Monday or Tuesday after the Superbowl.

Kimmel has been good to Axl and Slash in the past, plus he launched the recent Van Halen tour with a 5 or 6 song show.

Anticipation is building a little now after reading the Kimmel tweets.

I don't think they would debut a reunion on late night TV though, would they? Wouldn't it undermine Coachella's investment? Also, isn't this just too big a deal for their comeback performance to be on a late night TV show? An interview, sure - even that would be a major deal for Kimmel.

I don't think so either. Interviews is more likely yes.

I like that idea

How many will fit in that box?   

[GypsySoul]

Yeah, I know. But the way you phrased it I took it as "they are to blame".

"Thanks to..."

Sorry if that wasn't your intention.

My bad.  It was not my intention to place blame.

As with most things GNR, it would be an exercise in futility to try to figure out (if true) what brought all this about.

Actually depending on the creative control the band is given they could agree to answer questions the day after the announcement on the show, plus because the show isn't live they could perform a song or two and get the final say as to if it airs or not. Kimmel could back fill if needed with a Standup.

There were warmups before RIR 3, can't expect the first live show to be in front of a Coachella crowd.

I would expect a couple secret smaller warm up shows in LA

[McGann]

For me, bittersweet.
My focus is new music
These rumors distract.

But I am surprised
At how happy these maybes
Have made my soul feel.

Still want new music
But my spirit remembers
SoFla, New Year's Eve

Rang in the New Year
In what was then Joe Robbie
Old Guns at the helm

So given the choice
I'd still go with CD II
Over old lineup

Yet, soul rejoices
Since a beloved past MIGHT
Come 'round full circle.

Blessed conundrum
I let myself move forward
Enjoying old; new.

how happy and weird will it be for Slash to freely and joyfully talk about GnR again

Oh, I'm sure there will be a warm up or preview, but probably a private show rather than a late night TV performance? Just my thoughts anyway.

Absolutely.

Imagine the biggest thing you've ever done, and you have to downplay it and tell interviewers not to bring it up.

Didn't he bring that situation upon himself?

[norway]

Wow, I've not logged in, in a long time!!!!!

I remember j00 ^^

I think its legit.

I think it's bogus.

Two reasons:  1. Because you brought it up.  2.  Because it's true.
