[DISCUSSION] Motley Crue to tour with GnR?

[greekmule]

Terrible idea.MC is the exact opposite of what nuGNR is tryin to be.
However i'd love to see nuGNR tour with bands such as Linkin Park or the Deftones.That would be some heavy shit

[Scabbie]

I don't understand this board's fascination with Motley Crue. I quite like MC, maybe I will see them next year on tour, but to me they were in a diffrent league to Guns n' Roses. For me, Axl could equally tour with Judas Priest or ACDC, and that would be much cooler than Motley Crue.

I agree with that he would do better to tour with a newer or more alternative band - personally I would hate to see him open for Linkin Park, Oasis even worse (I hate those wankers). NIN would be cool but it would be difficult to say whether it would work until we hear some of the new material.

Maybe MUSE, now that would be fucking cool. They are awesome live, they have a really progressive feeling and yet still rock, and its quite an epic experience. Whether Matt Belamy and Axl would get on well, but who the hell would get on with him?!

[jarmo]

They already tried that once.

No need to try to repeat history.

I think the answer is obvious, Axl shouldn't tour with motley crap.  He should tour with Fiona Apple, then they could both storm off stage every night. 

[The Estranged MrFlashbax]

nah.. i love motley crue but gnr would be better off having jet or something open for em..

[Nytunz]

Nine Inch Nails, maybe! But not U2. The day i see GNR and U2 on the same stage, then i gotto reconsider my GNR fanstatus! U2 is a poor band! Plays poor music! And they play two totaly different musicstyles!

Nin and GNR would be the greatest thing happening!
Motley Crue and GNR would also be awsome! But it wont happen!

[norway]

I head MC runs their tracks on the system and Vince sings over them...because when they closed out the Game show Awards the other night some1 said that he didnt sing the chorus because he cant hit th ehigh notes anymore so he just let the studio take over...

They always had backin tracks on dr.feelgod- some errors occured under that performance, it was funny as hell

Guess it won't happen, maybe contraband would fit, but gnr seem a little different than them

maybe a new band, that not hit it big yet?

[fixintodie]

I hope you were joking about The Darkness - they're a shitty parody of the kind of music GNR, Queen, Motley Crue make. GNR are serious musicians. God, fuck that.

Same here. its seems lots of people on this board are into hair-metal/metal/heavy-metal/indus-metal or everything that contains the word "Metal". I though GN'R fans were mainly ROCK fans. You know it worries me when I see a GN'R record in "metal-section" in music stores. seeing the name "Guns n' Roses" in the same section as craddle of filth, panthera, or any oither silly Metal bands is weird ? I think it's not the right place for GN'R. It's not metal, never was and never will be. And I also don't want to see the name GN'R beeing associated with anything metal (to tour with a metal band or anything like that).
Let's play Rock n' Roll, not Metal.

[using my illusions]

i can't believe a guns n' roses fan would even suggest that...

[nesquick]

i can't believe a guns n' roses fan would even suggest that...

yep, I'm sure the same would also suggest...Poison. or maybe Cinderella?

[Naupis]

I have seen a bunch of GNR fans suggest they tour with a band like Lincoln Park.....that only happens if GNR plans on opening for them. In the musical landscape they need to worry about getting their name back out there with a strong album before talk of a tour should even be suggested.

thats's stupid, those band copied motley and gnr toured with motley b4

[damnthehaters]

Ok, someone on here suggested GNR touring with U2.  Now I think U2 is a very good band, but it's not even the same music.  There is now way GNR would tour with U2.  It's like saying that GNR should tour with Duran Duran.  C-Mon

I must agree on this one partly.
I don't consider metal rock silly at all and I know some of AFD songs are quite LA metalish.
However GNR on the whole is above petty sectionalism or genres, especially now. Well, maybe it's been Hard rock up to now.

I?ve got Bad news for you.
In many countries GN'R is put into a category of heavy metal. It's been so from the start.
You would find GN'R records more than often in "metal-section" at record shops along with bloody Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith.. among matal bands like Craddle of filth, Panthera, Poison Cinderella, Metallica and so on. Mostly metal magazines write about them. Although Their Fav is VR at the moment, those Metal writers never fucking leave Axl alone.

Really You  haven't heard of that?

[Continental Drift]

Yeah GN'R and U2 play different music- but who exactly plays the "same" music as GN'R? Anyway, virtually every GN'R fan I know likes U2 as well. They would definitely be contrasting sets in style- but it would also be a mega-tour of the two most important rock bands of the last 20 years and would give the new band an opportunity to shine. It would easily be the tour of the decade. I think that's the kind of thing Axl wants to be a part of. I don't think he's too interested in playing half-full arenas in Fargo, ND with whoever today's Buckcherry is just because they have an album that's 1/10 as good as AFD.

[Nytunz]

U2 is not an important band! They dont make good music! And the two bands are too different.
GNR should get someone who people are intrested in seeing 

[Naupis]

A tour with U2 wouldn't happen because A) U2 doesn't need GNR to sell out arenas, and B) Axl would never be willing to open for them, and U2 would most certainly be considered the headlining act in a GNR/U2 tour, no matter how much Guns fans might think otherwise.

I agree that it is highly unlikely- why would U2 ever want to put their practically spotless international reputation on the line by playing with a band that seems to pack trouble in their luggage everytime they hit the road? Bono does need to subject his reputation to Axl's bullshit.

I'm just saying that if Axl could ever pull his shit together and behave himself- a tour with U2 and access to all those fans could damn well save his career.
