Original Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 LOL. It's like the Mpls thing last week. All signs pointed to Guns and then.......nope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphelmo Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Pretty bad. I think it will be the real GNR, April Fool's Day is a perfect date to do such thing. If I were you, I'd buy tickets. Edited March 22, 2016 by Ralphelmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see GNR contacting a tribute band to use them as an alias. That's not what I think would be the plan at all. What I think might happen is the tribute band performs a song or two, and then they go like "we're gonna bring out some friends of ours, and then imagine the faces of the people when it's the complete AFD line up taking over the instruments. And then the reactions of the guys who were there because they thought its GNR and left after the first song, and then hear real GNR came out later? I would kill myself if that happened to me haha. With this band, anything can happen. I think they're deliberately fucking with us here, a tribute band is not a "big announcement". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the Whiskey just tried to build hype with the Gn'R hashtag and all. Interesting development. Wonder if the real band will show up and kick these guys off the stage. If I lived near I would buy cause why not? At worst you get a cover band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeMeHome Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 http://www.bandsintown.com/HollywoodRoses/start_tracking?came_from=211 This was posted on their Facebook page a few hours ago. I'm wondering why they are saying that they will play at the Whisky in May, while the Whisky says April.. if the date had changed due to the Adler gig cancellation, they wouldn't have posted this. Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Rob Zombie about 13 years ago only it was billed as a tribute act called Meet The Kreeper. They weren't allowed to call it Rob Zombie since he was playing Ozzfest that year I believe and there were advertising restrictions due to the Promoters. It was around $20 in advance which I found to be expensive for a tribute band in a small club. Word leaked that it was actually Rob Zombie that afternoon and the show was sold out. It was awesome to see him in a tiny club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asdiz Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 it would really suck to be the tribute band and go play this show with the whole crowd hoping you turn into different people at some point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they have that restriction when bands play Lollapalooza. Edited March 22, 2016 by born2boogie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lies They Tell Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Damn it would be funny and legendary, if it was actually GNR. I kinda hope it's gonna happen. It would be a MUCH more interesting first show than just doing it the normal way by announcing a show and then playing it, like a normal band. This april's fool prank would be a funny and rock n' roll thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6lake sa66ath Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hold up though, I think everybody's missing a glaring omission in the Whiskey gig calendar for APRIL 5TH... Lest anyone here forgets, please refer to your copies of RECKLESS ROAD for said date in 1986, which will be of course exactly 30 years ago... Surely that's the one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They chose to engage so for me I believe them as they responded when they could have said zip I am going with they are not playing, you guys can do what ya want right it is only $20, great way for the tribute band to sell out lol Edited March 22, 2016 by gunsguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunsfanoldie Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I doubt its them, but having said that, if I were in the area I would 100% being buying tickets. Worst thing is I get fucked over for $20. Best thing is I get to see the real Guns for $20. Again, I'm SURE they won't be there, but if I were in the area (I lived like 20 minutes from there like 2 years ago) I wouldn't be able to not go. The worst scenario really isn't that bad.
