Why on Earth Did Stones Invited Katy Perry and Not Axl/GNR to Perform With Them?

[ChristmasFnatic]

I mean, isnt it more appropriate for GNR or even just Axl to sing with Stones? Esp. Sympathy for the Devil? Instead, Katy Perry, who is not even a rockstar but a popstar was invited.

Tits.

[Silent Jay]

Hos over bros.

[HisRoyalSweetness]

She's sexy and popular. I doubt the stones are even aware axl is alive anymore. Also I doubt axl would accept the offer. A viral video of axl getting shown up by a guy in his 70's would be pretty embarrassing.

[Lucky girl]

I dont know!

maybe next stones´s show?! well, i hope so.

[alfierose]

I guess because Katy is current. It's what older acts tend to do, the same reason Axl guested with Elton etc.. back in the day.

[Axl_morris]

probably cause he's done a duet with Axl before?

I agree though, it would have been great.

Because Katy Perry sounds better than current Axl and she's motherfuckin' hot.

[Powerage5]

Mick likes to seem relevant.

I wouldn't rule Axl at the Toronto show on the 6th though, since GN'R are in Buffalo on the 5th. Might be a long shot, but we'll see...

True. Axl is a joke compared with Mick.

[stumbleine]

well,there are things to criticize the stones for too.

like inviting Katy Perry onstage.

has nada to do with rock n roll.shes just tacky.

This. Plus Mick Jagger his is stupid necessity of collaborating with hip contemporary artists.

I don't think there is anything wrong with this. People enjoyed it when Axl did it, his duet with Tom Petty was great. I kind of see these collaborations as a acknowledgment of current music, passing the mantle through generations regardless of genre. I think it would be cool if Axl did a bit of this with younger artists. Edited May 14, 2013 by alfierose

[Riddick Bowe]

stones sold out long time ago. went to see them live in 2007, left after an our and a half...

[maynard]

Why would they invite Axl?

I don't know, some deluded Axl fans think that Axl's band is in the same league as The Rolling Stones. These fans are so funny.

I love collaborations but I think it has to be with artists who are worth it, y'know? I wouldn't be surprised if I found out the Stones had Ke$ha or Nicki Minaj as guest artists. But yeah, the vegas residency would have been a bit more interesting if Axl called a few artists to collaborate with other than Izzy and Baz, who seem to be his only friends

[alfierose]

Axl and Adele would be great. Or maybe he should have asked Lana, he knows her and she would do it in a heartbeat. I actually think the public would enjoy that.

[Coma16]

How do you they didn't invite Axl? Or maybe they did and Axl didn't feel like it. Who knows

You are also assuming that they knew he was going to be there.

Mick and the Stones most probably loved true Gn'R back in the day, are not into Axl's band (nuGn'R) and are more supportive of Slash (at least Ron Wood seems to be):

[themadcaplaughs]

This is the mythic Rolling Stones we've been hearing about? It looks desperate to me.

I'm sure, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, that a few years back, the Stones said they wouldnt have Guns support or tour with them unless it was the proper GNR, AFD/UYI lineup?

Is that correct?

Looks totally similar to the Vegas trailer or whatever venue it was, to me

Awful representation. Even the diehard Stones fans have their gripes about how dreadful that clip was.
