GN'R at the 2012 VMAs

[inthisriver]

10 years after NuGnR's most notable public performance, will they return????

[volcano62]

LOL this is discussed every year. It happen in 2002 so why not 2012????

[Damn_Smooth]

I hope Axl learned his lesson last time. My vote is no. Maybe if they were in the middle of a tour, but definitely not after a break.

LOL, 'tis that time of year again. I'm a big fan, but Axl/GNR certainly know how to squander a golden opportunity. What better way to premier a new single? I think it would certainly change any former opinions that were based on the '02 performance (which in actuality, wasn't all that bad, blown way out of proportion). They'll still be in tour mode, all they gotta do is go out there and give it 100% one time and hit it out of the park, and it could be a situation that gives them momentum to the moon. I have no reason to believe it'll happen, but it certainly should...

[Mindray11]

No. Superbowl is the word.

nah. dj doesn't watch MTV. ron doesn't know what MTV is lol

[TheNightrain]

Notable for all the wrong reasons! Would love to see it happen, but cant. Will take Axl too long to find a replacement for Ron! :coolface:

Forgot this place dosnt have a coolface emoticon

[Jakey Styley]

I don't even think the VMAs would consider having GNR.

[chinaman33]

Gn'R will reunite at the 2012 VMA's1!!@!

This.

Unfortunately.

[KetchupNotMayo]

Ah, the obligatory annual VMAs thread!

Ah, the obligatory annual VMAs thread!

It had to happen, so why not me.

[WhazUp]

Are they relevant enough? In 2002 it was exiting because it was one of the first appearances GNR made save for a few gigs, and it was all still very new and exiting (although we all know how the performance turned out). Nowadays GNR has done their tours and gigs, released a record that wasn't a landmark entity, and just simply aren't relevant enough for the VMAs IMO.

Don't get me wrong I personally would love to see it happen, but I am just being a realist here - in an age of indie bands dominating the rock scene like Arctic Monkeys, Bon Iver, Radiohead, etc. and all those pop artists that are big nowadays, I just can't see GNR fitting into what I have seen from the VMAs these past few years.

The VMAs and MTV do still exist?!? Really?!? MTV didn't survive here in Germany, it's been long gone ...

[gunnerpr]

AXL: VMA 2002 was a CATASTROPHE! lol

VMA isn't considering DJ or ron at this time

[Guest Gunns]

Won't happen

[Flayer]

If they are a "nostalgia act" then Super Bowl halftime show is a perfect gig, that's the general tend in bookings. Give the crowd a Jungle/Shacklers or Scraped combo.

[t-p-d-a]

A Medley

Welcome To The Jungle, Madagascar and Paradise City... Round II

[Chris 55]

No. Superbowl is the word.

Eh...Superbowl is too safe

[finck6]

Won't happen

i agree. won't happen

[Nosaj Thing]

Indeed.

[scans n' copies]

There's not a chance in hell the Super Bowl would book anything but the classic 5 members. Way too big an international stage and the NFL would not take any of Axl's shit. They would tie him up and roll him out like Hannibal Lector to make sure he was on time! Unless it's a full-on reunion, no way.

That being said, I'd love to see it! My wallet would hate it cuz I'd have to go, but-----

Whoops, forgot about the VMA's. Pretty doubtful, but anything is possible. I think Ron could tough out one 6 minute gig.

MTV isn't considering 2012 guns n roses at this time. 2012 guns n roses doesn't even have a music video out on MTV

[Haters Gonna Hate]

No.
