Edward Nygma Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) I wish that, just one time, Axl could do something that doesn't turn into a complete clusterfuck and adds further embarrassment to his career. He wouldn't be the butt of all these late/no-show jokes still if he didn't pull shit like this.He's a private person who doesn't share every aspect of his entire life on social media unlike more than half the worlds population. Something must have come up, anything! Unless he's clairvoyant, "due to unforeseen circumstances" he can't see what's round the corner. Yeah it sucks he won't be on Kimmel live but I think in the next three months he will. I'm not defending his past no shows or cancellations but not everything that is sensationalised in the media tells the exact truth of a given situation.

James Bond Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I've still got the PVR set regardless. There were reasons to be worried when it was called off yesterday but we still got the official announcement that we expected regardless of Kimmel. I'm not too worried if he doesn't end up appearing but if he does then it's a bonus surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxpax Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 You all treat Axl like he's a baby.

Axl_morris Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 to be fair, there has bound to have been beef with 3 potential drummers all wanting to play on this tour.Havin all 3 on tour isnt feasible. So someones gonna get butt hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So someones gonna get butt hurt.The drummer situation is indeed the messiest out of the vacant slots. I'd say even more so than Izzy because there's a good chance he wouldn't want to do a full tour save for a guest spot here or there anyways. With the drummers, you've got a complicated situation because from the "classic" era alone there's two options (Matt and Steven of course) plus Frank who's been a committed member of the band for 10 years despite the bullshit.

Nick85 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) So...What are the chances this is a prank ala the whole Matt Damon snubbing thing? If anyone could/would pull it off it would be Kimmel. Maybe it really was supposed to be a surprise?I'll still be tuning in tonight just in case...

Schwarzgold Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm just watching Kimmel 2012. Boy, that was FUN. The guy really shows why everybody, who really knows him, says he's funny and entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Jam has had like 42 drummers and no no one cares.To a lot of fans it does matter. Steven's groove was very influential in the original Guns sound. He'd be the first choice for most. For me personally, if it's not Steven then I'm fine with Matt or Frank. At this point I don't care. The big thing is Duff and Slash being back.

I don't think he'll be there. Guess I'll DVR in case, but not gonna watch to be disappointed.On the other hand..... I remember '89 I think, I watched the whole VMA's figuring GNR would be the surprise guest. As soon as Tom Petty came out I turned it off, only to find out Axl was there too. So maybe there's precedent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6lake sa66ath Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Jon Favreau on now, mystery over, I'm sure there'll be no "surprise" appearance tonightAs for Friday...Kimmel's website has nothing for Friday currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthunders13 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Maybe he doesn't want to be put in the situation of answering line up questions. The best way to do this may be a press conference live stream with the whole band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyWoodRose84 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hey guys take this for what it's worth. I sent a similar message to Black Sabbath yesterday. My friend Mike who's a cameraman for ABC and who's been the one that's been trying to fill me in on all the background details told me there were supposed to be a schedule performance with Axl Slash Duff Richard Frank Dizzy and Chris. For all anybody knows it could still happen tonight and they're keeping things a surprise, or it's moved to a later date, or the entire plan has been called off. I guess we'll know soon enough because Jimmy's show tapes early and I'll be in contact with Mike for pretty much the rest the afternoon. Here's hoping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping.I believe you although that seems it would have been impossible. Frank is in NY for his Mule Kick show, so had this really been cancelled 24 hours ago, he would have cancelled that awhile ago. Unless that Mule show just got announced when Axl cancelled. But it seems Frank would never have been in LA tonight. Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollyWoodRose84 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm honestly convinced this was cancelled last minute. If you all remember one of Bumbles frustrations was every time he had something booked, guns changed plans and he had to choose what to do. I'm sure Richard and Frank have similar situations.
