Bobbo Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) I was listening to the radio on my way home from work tonight about some kind of petition to take "GNR" off of the governor's ball. I guess there was A LOT of negative reaction to them being the headliners, to the point people have made a petition about it. After a quick google search, I found it:https://www.change.o...-music-festivalTake it for what it is, but looks like it's been a rough week all around for nu guns.EDIT: Fuckin' phone. Can somebody edit the title to "apparently axl's not wanted at the governor's ball"? Thanks. Edited February 10, 2013 by Bobbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 >While this band was already unfavorably viewed by many when it first started making music Honestly though, it's best if they're removed. This festival is not a good fit for GNR at all. If they show up, they'll be mercilessly booed, good performance or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Ouch. I agree though, they really dont mesh AT ALL with the other artists there and who this show caters too. However that petition is pretty harsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jthunders13 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Wow...250 signatures...people aren't forced to go to this thing right? When they had Nickelback booked to play the Thanksgiving halftime here in Detroit I think we had 50,000 signatures to get them booted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesecake Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Not familiar with the Governor's Ball...what is it actually and has any rock band performed there before? Most of the bands or names I saw from the poster on the other thread this forum, I've never even heard of them. Only recognized Kanye West.

And the name "Governor's Ball" makes me think of like that ball from the movie "Enchanted". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 The worst thing is that they have some points that are pretty hard to argue. I still think it's utterly silly to make a petition about it. After all it's just one band and they do great live. But still some valid points made..
