NachoLZ Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) There are strong rumors of GnR and The Who doing a show toguether at Estadio Nacional (Santiago, Chile) and River Plate Stadium (Buenos Aires, Argentina) at the end of September. Translation: Although the initial warning came in February - when the manager of the English band teased in a radio interview that they would pass through South America -, last Tuesday it was almost definitive. The colossal Rock in Rio festival confirmed both groups for a single day (Saturday September 23) and officialized the first date of a tour that will then travel to Santiago and Buenos Aires. In the capital, the plan sought almost from the beginning to have Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, Axl Rose and Slash sharing the night in a single room. When the negotiations began with the meeting in Rio, the viability of bringing The Who to a solo concert was complex: the men of My generation had the express intention of making their debut in South America only in crowded spaces so it forced those responsible for their coming to think big. Then the main suspicion was related to its call and popularity in Chile, which - although they comprise the Olympus of British rock of the 60s - does not equate to contemporaries like The Beatles or even The Rolling Stones. Therefore, the coming together with another illustrious credit of Rock in Rio appeared like the most reasonable alternative.

killuridols Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 The Seeker has become The Zika for real now Im not thrilled by this idea of them co-headlining with The Who and playing in our countries after RIR... Why it couldnt have been Axl/DC instead? I will have to pay loads of money to see this shit show with a band I dont like.... and wasn't one of those The Who saying Axl was doing karaoke? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 The Who can't even sell out arenas in the UK. You can still buy standing and seats near the stage for their shows in April. That's why they want to attach themselves to GnR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, GNR + AC/DC would be insane but Axl wouldn't survive singing 5 hours a night. Considering Alter Bridge is playing Rock In Rio too, I'd love to have Alter Bridge as the opening band playing 75 minutes, then a 45 minutes SMKC show and then GNR. That's way more realistic Back to real world, I don't really care about The Who but if this means GNR will NOT play The Seeker, then it's not that bad.

It could be a shorter set for both bands How do you know they won't play The Seeker? They will play it twice or more likely, will join The Who and play with them I don't wanna see that band and do you realize they will charge us a lot more because of this? That's what I'm mainly pissed off about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case they do play it, that would make The Who's presence completely useless to me Axl singing it with them wouldn't bother me, I just don't want it in GNR's setlist, it has nothing to do there. I'm not sure they'll charge us even more, but if they do.... RIOT TIME!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archtop Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Never been a fan of The Who, I have tried but meh Maybe this will give me an education, and kindle some interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricA Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 OMG...i think i'm the only one here, who will be very sad to live on the other side of the planet, if this shows will really happen, because The Who are one of my favourite bandsBut i don't love them as much as i love GnR The main problem even for me as a fan of both bands is, that they musically don't fit to each other...it's like apple pie with chili sauce! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fitha_whiskey Posted March 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2017 The Who are legends. I cannot fathom people bitching about seeing GnR n The Who on one stage. Legends both. The Seeker is a great song, GnR plays it fuckin great, and it obviously means something to Axl. Either I'm too old, or a lotta motherfuckers are too young to understand. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it has anything to do with age. I love Zeppelin, I love Queen, The Who just don't do it for me. I agree they're legends, though, it's just a matter of taste. 11 minutes ago, EricA said: OMG...i think i'm the only one here, who will be very sad to live on the other side of the planet, if this shows will really happen, because The Who are one of my favourite bandsBut i don't love them as much as i love GnR The main problem even for me as a fan of both bands is, that they musically don't fit to each other...it's like apple pie with chili sauce!

So if GnR was playing Babe I'm Gonna Leave You every night, or Communication Breakdown every night- are you still hating that they're playing a cover? I just don't agree with all the "cover" hate. If they break into Heartbreak Hotel or Jumping Jack Flash, are we hating or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe at least they could have a spot for covers and rotate them. It's insane that The Seeker has been played way more often on this tour than fn' Don't Cry! Well, to me anyways.

Anyway- I don't mind the covers. I'd love to hear a current GnR version of Heartbreak Hotel personally... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cool, to each their own. I'd love to hear a current GNR version of Dead Horse but I guess neither of us will be getting anything 13 minutes ago, EricA said: LOL Last summer i attended a WHO show and there was a young dude wearing a GUNS shirt...i was like huu NICE !

The Who fans don't consider themselves rockers? That sounds kinda odd to me No idea what is it that Axl loves so much about that song but I'm pretty intrigued about it.

Zoot Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 It's a bit of an odd pairing. I'm not sure about South America but I've been to a couple Who shows up here and the fans were... let's just say not exactly GNR's crowd. But who knows, maybe it'll be great.

StrangerInThisTown Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 What if that was Axls grand plan all along? Summon The Who by playing The Seeker until The Who come out of the shadows and and play with him. Totally worked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
