GNR at the Superbowl?

[raindogs70]

Axl made fun of the Chili Peppers using prerecorded tracks, but Flea wasn't trying to hide it.

Has GNR even been asked to ever play Super Bowl? When Appetite came out, they were still having Up With People do halftime (Google it, you'll have a laugh).

One would think a version of GNR with Axl and Slash would be somewhat appealing to the Super Bowl...

Especially since GNR songs are played multiple times a game in basically every NFL stadium all year long.

If this tours goes well and this is seen as a viable enterprise again, I assume they would at least be asked.

I used to think Axl would never do this sort of thing.  But in the face of this upcoming tour, I'm not sure you can predict Axl any more.

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)?

   I agree.  how was that bad?  I loved it.  it was fucking epic when he came up through the stage.  I am a huge football fan.  best halftime show for me in many years!!!

It was cool to see Slash, but I don't remember the actual performance being very good.

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.

very true. harder than ever to pigeonhole the guy.

I don't really see playing the Super Bowl as GNR's kind of thing. However,  It would be an opportune time for a commercial with stadium tour dates to drop.  The only thing is how cost feasible is that?  Is it worth the price tag on a super bowl add to promote tour dates ? 

[Scabbie]

It's been a rumour every year for the past 15 years or so - hopefully it will come true! A short three song set would be cool, two classics plus a new song if they have one

[THeRoCK2]

to underline worlddomination i would welcome that 

[TokyoRose]

the world needs G n R at the superbowl.  enough with the pop crap. 

time to rock 

[sofine11]

How GNR would fit in with Beyonce and Cold Play are effing beyond me.  NR maybe?

[LIGuns]

Axl's a Raiders fan, so it's doubtful for the foreseeable future!

For the US posters: Keep us updated just in case GN'R pops up with a commercial during the Super Bowl broadcast. There are slim chances I think, but you never know.

Here in Europe, the commercials are of course not included in the broadcast.




Edited to add: If the tour has an official sponsor, that could open up the chances of financing such an expensive commercial.

If something GNR related is played I will let you know. I think commercials are too expensive. Better chance of a promo at the stadium in my opinion and not on air.

Think I just heard WTTJ during a Taco Bell commercial!

Jungle played in Taco Bell commercial...cool!!!

Ha. Reminds me of Axl's tweet.
