Black Sabbath Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'm glad they are exclusively reporting this from an unknown source. The legitimacy is screaming. Seems as if Gn'R truly won't be at the show in Mexico for Heaven & Hell Fest. I'm glad I will be attending the final Guns and Roses show in Vegas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 The cool thing about this is that if it is being picked up by other media and spread around, it might force GN'R to make some kind of statement regarding future plans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and lock this, Manets. Though you do have a "source", it's definitely not very reliable, if at all. Unless something else were to show up supporting such a claim, I'm going to lock this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Though numerous people were complaining about the source in the OP, apparently numerous people were complaining that the thread was locked.Opening back up to please the masses who wish to discuss this topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
