[花火]

But Axl...No...

it seems to be true...

[Joe Handley]

I heard something about it on the radio Tuesday, but not much.

The rumor is, GnR, in its "original" lineup to play Coachella music festival, then do a tour.

The announcement will come on Tuesday, they're playing Coachella and then a couple of dozen other shows. If they come to western canada, I'll probably be buying tix, but I'll be disappointed. 

First, no Izzy. No explanation why, but he's not there. Neither is Gilby. 

Second, no Steven Adler, no Matt Sorum. Again, no explanation. 

So it's basically Axl, Slash, Duff, and some other guys no one cares about. 

To be honest, I'd rather see Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators again. That was an amazing show. So much better than the last time Axl and his GNR cover band came through town.

no izzy. exactly!!!

[JollySipper]

I doubt BucketHead will be with them........... There was some bad blood between him and Axl. Seems B-Head was only using GN'R as a spring-board for his own career.......

[iamsuperdan]

Buckethead and DJ Ashba have both announced that they are no longer in the band.

[Petetrucker07]

It's official. GnR to headline Coachella.

Now...

What are the odds that the summer tour will actually happen?

[iamsuperdan]

Oh I think the summer tour is 100% a go.

Just hope they come to Edmonton. Most major shows usually do, so fingers crossed. I saw Axl and his GNR cover band when they came here on the Chinese Democracy tour, and it was actually a really good show. And Slash has been here almost every year for the past few years it seems. I've seen him three or four times now, and he always puts on a great show. I saw the original lineup back in the very early 90s when they were still an opening band, then saw them again on the Illusion tour.

 

I'd love to see a reunited Skid Row open for the revived GNR. Sebastian Bach is good friends with Axl, and Skid Row reunion rumours have been flying for a couple of years now, plus they just parted ways with their singer. I'm almost more interested in that show!

They will fight the whole time they are counting their money, as concert venues is the big money maker for bands anymore. Cd sales are to little money for them. 

I think that if they still had Izzy that would be another split in the money. the rest of the hired guns are just employees with a set per show rate. 

I will say I did not see them the first time around not sure if I will try this time.
