Axl Rose intends to take the current lineup of Guns N’ Roses out on a worldwide stadium tour this summer, industry insiders told RollingStone.com.

“Axl has been basically quiet, keeping out of the limelight for almost 15 years,” said Guns manager Irving Azoff in the news item. “People think they know him, but they really only know what has been said about him by questionable people. He is a good guy and often misunderstood—he is a professional who has worked very hard to build and maintain a high creative standard for Guns N’ Roses, which I support. We have some exciting things in the works this year for GNR, I’m looking forward to it.”

Right on the heels of this news come unconfirmed reports about a co-headlining tour with GNR and fellow L.A. hard-rock icons Van Halen. If this pairing comes to pass, we’re betting it’ll move some serious ducats.

That would be.... fuckin weird, really. I could see VH opening for GNR - I think. Maybe.

Thoughts?

Both of these bands suck now.

yeah, this concert would probably suck

VH was very solid when I saw them in the fall of '07... GnR not so much when I saw them in '06.

A STADIUM TOUR, really?!?!!?

VH....well maybe. GNR, I don't think so. For me anyway.

I doubt it'd happen.

I'll buy everybody in the world a

Nah, you'd just give 'em all coupon. Or perhaps Best Buy would sell you some of their Chinese Democracy over-order dirt cheap for you to hand out.

Bitch don't tell me what I would and wouldn't do.

Spoiler: show

Yeah you're probably right I'm too lazy

You need to go talk to your bishop for that dirty finger.

Saw GNR in '06. It was a very, very different beast than the original lineup, but the show kicked some hardcore ass. I went with every intention of hating it and left with my jaw bouncing off the floor.

I fuckin' want one!

i don't see this happening


but i gotta say, chinese democracy still kicks my ass on a regular basis. i haven't been able to find a single track to call filler on that thing. have i lost it?

great lineup, except for the fact that one of these bands will show up for this tour and put on a decent show, and one will show up 3 hours late or not at all. Otherwise, it's well worth the 90 bucks it will probably cost.

I haven't listened to it since it came out. I scroll past it on my hard drive all the time. There's just never a reason to put it on.

Chinese Democracy was terrible.

I forgot to use my free Dr Pepper coupon.


that being said, if it was DLR Van Halen and not Van Hagar, I'd go to this

No, it would be with David Lee Roth if it's for real.
