              With the Super Bowl halftime show a year away again and the reunited Guns N Roses playing select shows this year and dates , should the band get to play the BIG ONE they haven't played before ? Almost every act has played the Halftime show from Paul McCartney to Bruce Springsteen , to Rolling Stones. It seems only right that Axl Rose get a shot at rocking the main stage with Slash at the Super Bowl 51 next year.

             Who all agrees they deserve this ?

But, if they're still together in ten months, I'd love to see it.

Absolutely...and they can play a fan friendly sing-a-long list of tunes that most enjoy.
If so, I'd love to see them do  it without the help of 1-2 bullshit side show acts

If they can go out this year and show they are back and viable again, I think its a natural fit.

Big time, flat out stars, huge fanbase.  Biggest songs are so big, even non-fans know them.

Probably the right demographic too.

This was actually brought up in one of the other forums. I didn't even realize it until the person said this. If you notice the Super Bowl no longer has one main act. There  are usually the main performer and then guests.  The reason being is that the NFL wants to appeal to everyone.

I would love to see GNR be the only band performing. I just don't think the NFL wants one main performer nowadays.

Depends on the act, I imagine.

Can't really see them telling Taylor Swift or Rihanna they need someone else.

It's in the beginning of February right? They'll be in Australia in that case.

Due to the production of the Super Bowl it's difficult to play live. Example the Chili Peppers playing unplugged which Axl commented on. Having said that I think Axl would pass on playing the SuperBowl. Just my opinion. It would be cool to see though.

Personally, NO........shit show...too many variables...no upside. They have already proved they have the ability to sell tons of tickets with very little promo.

Whatever they are doing now is just fine for the next year.

Why should Guns ever do what's obvious ?
They should've played the rock n roll hall of fame ceremony was on everyone's lips back in 2012.I'm glad they didn't.
If they play superbowl,it would be interesting but no.

AXL SLASH DUFF = GOAT


« Reply #13 on: September 11, 2016, 10:12:26 PM »

Axl is a sports fan so I think he'd be game.  They would headline and play with some guests, I'm sure.  Angus joining them for an AC/DC song would work.  But Axl would have to call most of the shots. 

My setlist:

WTTJ (one of the greatest sporting event songs), SCOM, LALD, NR, Civil War, YCBM, Thunderstruck (very popular at sporting events), PC

It didn't happen last year, it didn't happen in 1991, it didn't happen ever and it isn't going to. But this thread will pop up year in, year out.

They only have 15 minutes to do the show.

It would be probably short versions of WTTJ, SCOM, LALD and PC.

When Paul McCartney Was doing it a couple of years ago I was hoping with every ounce of my being that during Live and Let Die Axl and Slash ascended to the stage and that would be the beginning of the reunion!

There's no denying that playing the Super Bowl these days is a BFD for anyone (McCartney, Stones, Who, says it all), but having grown up watching Super Bowls back when the half-time shows were like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0Mz_TkBvLA, I can't get past the very negative association I have with it.

The Superbowl is on February 5th, even with openings 2/5 and 2/6 on the tour, I don't think it can happen.

They're definitely a natural fit for the Super Bowl. A high octane, popular rock act. If you bring the band out there and throw Angus Young out there with them and do a few Guns songs and AC/DC songs, it'd be tailor made for that kind of show.

I would love to see this, but I doubt it'll happen.
