GNR at the Superbowl?

[damnthehaters]

Slash playing with Fergie was about as bad as things can get for him.

Never got that thought process... Bad how?

Worse than Axl performing with the actor from The Gilmor Girls or The Broadway performer (Sebastian Bach)?

You really can't compare Axl performing with Baz in front of 10k to Slash playing with Fergie in front of a billion. Not saying one is worse/better, but the stage surrounding each event was vastly different.

Regardless of the size of the audience, I'm just saying I don't see how one is anymore or less embarrassing depending on how it's framed. Most people who hate it do so because it's Fergie and they don't like her music or the group she is a part of and they think it looks bad for Slash. BUT it's stuff like that keeping him relevant across musical genres, which is going to help pack stadiums, I know it's an unpopular thought but there is a very strong chance that because of his appearances with people like Fergie on a stage like the Super Bowl that there are going to be more people (outside of these forums) that are there to see Slash than Axl.

I don't know if I would call either one embarrassing, but there is certainly a difference.  You said it yourself....Slash quite possibly played with Fergie to in fact "stay relavant".  Axl on the other hand, played with Sebastian because they are friends.  Did Slash and Fergie have a friendship before?  How about Michael Jackson?  Maybe they did....but I would bet not.  I would say that Slash does these things to stay in the spotlight, just like you said.  Axl, not so much.

It's easy to do what Slash does when you've reached the fame he has....or any celebrity for that matter.  Opportunities all over the place.  But this is why I respect Axl so much....because he could easily make decisions like Slash has....but doesn't.  I personally admire that much more.

They just ran a commercial for the Coldplay North America tour.

GN'R commercial... I guess it's possible.

All is can say is THANK YOU GNR for not playing the SB. The acts are a joke. All off a tape and mechanical dance sequences. No thank you. It's way, way below Guns N' Roses....

I don't think so.  A lot of great artists play the super bowl

I think that must be the worst halftime show ever.

Coldplay sucks beyond comprehension.. What are these organizers thinking?

Yeah I agree  bad bad  BAD GAME  TOO

[Thorned Rose]

It was pretty bad I must say.

Bruno was a little entertaining. Overall it was bad.

Like C- or something.

Guns N' Roses would be cool in this setting ONLY if it was just them and like Aerosmith or something. Or Just them by themselves.

Do Jungle, New Song, Sweet Child.

People would die for that. Kinda too late to blow that wad now since they tour and stuff will be out soon.

Agreed, that would be painful to watch, hope it never happens.

Do you guys really think if GNR did the super bowl... that Beyonce would join the set in the middle in her black panther protest outfit?

Jungle, Scom, pick a song and PC... then kick off the third quarter.
