ThinkAboutYou Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Is this one of those corporate type gigs where Bill Gates or whoever hires the band out to play for his homeboys?Celebrity's, record company, radio exec's, and models etc Edited February 15, 2010 by ThinkAboutYou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITW 2012 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Is this one of those corporate type gigs where Bill Gates or whoever hires the band out to play for his homeboys?Celebrity's, record company, radio exec's, and models etcDoes the band get a big pay day for this? I think they should do a bunch of these then if it means we'll get CD II faster.Don't really have a problem with Axl playing a show for celebs either. It must get annoying for somebody like Mickey to get hounded when he goes to see his favorite band. If I was there I'd probably be telling Mickey how I thought that was a great finger bang he pulled off on that chick in Wild Orchid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruel Intentions Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I really don't get how anybody can defend Axl/GNR for these gigs. All the people saying "he's just doing this to appease the record people, Axl wouldn't invite these people" are contradicting yourselves because a few months ago everybody here was saying how right Axl was for not going along with all the corporate bullshit just for the sake of doing something in the public eye. Anyway you want to slice it, this just isn't fair and is a slap in the face to the real Guns fans. People who are real fans have next to no chance of seeing GNR perform and I really don't understand what doing these shows accomplishes. To not announce any tour dates in the US was just terrible. To then go out and do surprise shows in small bars/clubs where you need to know somebody or go through hell just to have a shot at getting in is just throwing salt in the wounds of your hardcore fans who have supported GNR throughout all the bullshit year after year after year. But, wait, it gets even worse because now they're playing CLASSIC hits that they haven't played at any tour dates this year and haven't played in years.I just don't get it. I'm not saying this is Axl or the record company's fault, but I just wish an explanation would be given on what they're trying to accomplish with all of this. This band is out of the public eye for 3 years and they're showing little to no appreciation for fans in the US by teasing surprise gigs and then playing shows mainly for higher ups that aren't even real GNR fans.

Do they think doing these shows as a tease would make us want to see them live even more or something?Let me also say that even if they do a show or two where anybody can get into (I don't think they will, by the way and even if they do it DEFINITELY will not be in a large arena), I still think it's completely ridiculous that they can't put together an organized tour for the United States the way they had no problem doing so for nearly every other country on the f'n planet. If they come out and announce US tour dates, I'll gladly eat my words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
