You Could be mine

Nice Boys

This one is So Easy.

Breakdown

In my opinion if you are a company such as clear channel 200,000 bucks is nothing to make up.  The tour was beginning to pick up steam after a slow start.  If they couldn't come up with a more creative way to market the tour with an advertising campaign then that is their problem.   I went to the Columbus show and there was almost no promotions or advertisements concerning the show.  Most people didn't know GNR was touring.  That is CC's fault.  Besides if you sign a band to tour you honor the contract wether you make money or lose money.  You do not ask the band to give up the money they work for.  Clear channel sucks

Appetite only because it was cutting edge.  UYI2 had as good if not better material but was almost mainstream when released.

I don't know if anyone else has posted this yet.  I scrolled the threads briefly and didn't see it.  But I thought this was interesting and sounded about right.

The official word on the cancellation of the GUNS N ROSES was that Clear Channel was losing a lot of money on the lack of ticket sales. If the tour would finish they would lose around $200,000. So they wanted Axl to give up some of his money to them. Axl wouldnt so they told him they were pulling the tour after Philly. Axl said he wasnt going to do Philly then either. During the day of the Philly show Clear Channel and Axl were trying to make a compromise in NYC. The rest of the band was in Philly. Axl and Clear Channel never reached an agreement and the Philly show never happened and the tour was pulled.

Because Tommy Lee is a dill hole

The Columbus show rocked as well.  Hopefully the album will come out soon and another tour will happen.  These guys are too talented to let this set back stop them.  Good luck

They don't have a good songwriter?   Izzy is the best songwriter of any GNR member. >

OK let's hear it.   Throw out some names of people who would fit with this band.

You might laugh but the first person I thought of was Jack Russel of Great White.  I think he would go well with the bluesy sound.

Of course David Coverdale is not doing anything right now.

And someone who certainly does not fit the profile or style of music but can wail is Geoff Tate.

Let's hear some more.   ;D

I was at the show in Columbus and I have to say it pretty much rocked.  If you closed your eyes you wouldn't even know there was a new line up.  There have been questions about Axl's voice.  Those questions have been silenced.  His voice is strong as ever if not stronger.  I sat in awe when he held a note during Live and Let die for what seemed forever.  I was most impressed by Fink.  He was electric.   I was in section 116 in row 5 and managed to run down to the corner and touch Axl's hand during WTJ.   After that the security guards wouldn't let us down there anymore but I noticed the other side was doing it regularly.  Anyway the show was great and the new stuff is strong.  I personally feel like Axl could lose the corn rows but the guy can wail.  Great show.  You should go.  I hope they come around next year with a full blown Chinese Democracy tour.

GNR started to fall apart when IZZY left.  He was the backbone of the group and best song writer.
