Does anybody else think the next step should be New GNR doing a package tour with Mötley Crüe and a reunited Skid Row?

[Apollo]

no.....

mötley is one of the worst bands ever.

Why do you think that? I could literally name 100 worse bands than them. How would one of the worst bands ever manage to stick around and be relevant for almost 30 years? Did u mean to actually just say that you don't like them?

Last year they were way more successful than GnR. They had double the gross as GnR, they finished 30 spots higher on the top grossing list, they sold out every show (GnR didn't) and they averaged 1000 more people per show than GnR did.

You might not personally like them, which is perfectly fine. But motley is a bigger draw than gnr today

nickelback are successful too.... doesn't say anything about the band being good, just that people are stupid

So people that don't like the same bands that you do....are stupid?

That is a bit arrogant of you.

[tkarmy]

I can't imagine there are too many folks that give a shit if Baz and Snake get on stage together again... I think Baz can probalby draw as much on his own as a skid row reunion would draw.

Motley and GNR... it will never happen..... NEVER.... get over it

[Desperado]

naah but just because a band is successful doesn't mean that they are any good.... good to some maybe but I can't really see why people like them.

Oh god, no Vince Neil plz.

Say what you will about Axl's voice, but at least he doesn't sound like T-Pain. Vince Neil isn't even trying to pretend he's not using one. He literally sounds like his voice is being passed through a synthesizer.

Agree- Vince's voice is gone. But seriously who's is worse Axl or Vinnie?

Vince has allways been worse. saw mötley live a couple years ago at a festival and it was the worst thing I have ever heard and seen in my life. But if Axl doesn't do anything with his voice soon he maybe will sound as bad as vince in a couple of years.

[wasted]

a reformed Skid Row might open for Guns. Axl seems to be having fun parodying GNR in preparation for the self titled record so a tour with 80s bands might work.

[Randy Lahey]

Crue, New GNR and Skid Row would be the perfect 80's Tour package. I'd call it the Rude Crued Dudes Tour.

YES so Axl can finally kick Vince Neil's ass , and the whole time Sebastian would be yelling "that was soooo EPIC ! " , " your so prolific Axl"

haha

[wasted]

I'd love to see GNR cover Kickstart My Heart.

[SweetRose]

Only way for it to be a true 80s band tour would also be for the original GNR reuniting.

And hey if Axl's buddy can reunite with his old band…then why the shit can't Axl?

[HisRoyalSweetness]

i'd love to see a poison / crue / gnr mega summer tour. some of my favorite old hair metal bands. i only wish there was a contractual clause restricting the bands from playing any of their new stuff.

[Gunzen]

GNR was not a hairl metal band, and never will be.

There's a handful of bands I think would be good co-headliners, Janes Addiction, Smashing Pumpkins, and a few others. I think the vibe of seeing those bands is more on par with GNR. VH and GNR sound good on paper, but I'm glad it didn't happen. Again, that should be Sunset Music Fest, because that's more about paying tribute to their roots. I'd even go with a Black Sabbath/GNR tour being a pretty cool lineup.

[wasted]

I could see a Smashing Pumpkins/GNR tour.

[JimMorrison4]

I'd go see it.

[Georgy Zhukov]

Only for a reunion. Otherwise no.

[ShadowOfTheWave]

Motley asked GNR to tour with them but they weren't available, so Motley went with Poison. I think Motley & GNR both might be too big for Skid Row.

[Sixx]

I don't think either side would do it.

I can't see many of the bigger bands putting up with Axl to be honest. At best I could see something like Micheal Monroe/Steel Panther/Skid Row/Guns.

[wasted]

Maybe Dj could set up a Sixx Am / GNR tour.

[Sixx]

Maybe Dj could set up a Sixx Am / GNR tour.

Would love to see that.

But motley is a bigger draw than gnr today

Only in the US which means fuck all...there is other places on the planet fyi

[the rush]

I cannot grasp the idea that so many people put GNR and MC in the same basket as they have almost nothing in common

also GNR are globally popular, Motley is not and also, GNR have songs that are appreciated artictically, Crue has none of those

[Guest NewGNRnOldGNR]

No! GN’R have reverted to their hard rock roots with the current incarnation and I can tolerate that. But don’t become a charm act with no viable future outside of cash grabbing tours and a token commercial album. Keep current, have hit rock bands open.

So the facts they are both American bands means nothing?

And why doesn't the US matter?

I don't get why you guys argue EVERTHING that isn't totally praising Axl/GnR? In one post, you guys praise GnR for selling 2800 tickets to a show and how that is "kicking ass and taking names"..............but then when it is pointed out that Motley Crue outsells GnR, then the response is "the US market means fuck all."

[SoulMonster]

Last year they were way more successful than GnR. They had double the gross as GnR, they finished 30 spots higher on the top grossing list, they sold out every show (GnR didn't) and they averaged 1000 more people per show than GnR did.

I don't know what source you have for these numbers (nor do I understand how 'total gross' in anyway can indicate which band is the biggest since 'total gross' is a function of the no. of concerts and not directly a result of popularity), but if you look at this list of the 50 top tours in the world in 2011, you will find Guns N' Roses at position 39 and Motley Crue at absolutely no place at all: http://www.pollstarpro.com/files/Charts2010/2010YearEndTop50WorldwideConcertTours.pdf

But kudos to you for cherry-picking stats from one sub-region where Motley earned more than GN'R and then using these irrelevant data in a discussion about which band is more popular.
