Their album, "Appetite for Destruction" holds titles for the Greatest Guitar Album Ever (Total Guitar, June 2003), Greatest Metal Album (Spin, July 2003), #1 Essential Hard Rock Album (Kerrang!

Yeah i know what you mean, it's making it sound like the old band are showing up and i wish it was the old band, but it's still cool news, even thought they're not a touch on the old band.

yllibeot Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 It might be to a clue to what band is coing to show up. i mean how is the new GNR going to fit in with the rolling. GNR's new music is way different than was 15 years ago i cant see them fitting in with the stones. Maybe with NIN or something, but i seriously cant see them doing OMG infront of the stones crowd. but it would make sense if it was old GNR.

ironicninja Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I thought I'd heard that for one of their earlier tours the Stones had wanted GNR to open, but someone told them that there was a different lineup, and so they dropped the idea? Did anyone else hear something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone else hear something like that?The rumor was that on the Voodoo Lounge Tour in the fall of '94, the Stones offered GNR the opening slots for some CA shows.To which Axl replied "we are no longer an opening band."Frankly, I'm surprised the Stones didn't just pull their name from the rolodex right then.
