GN'R to Tour with Van Halen?


SPREADING DEMOCRACY AROUND THE WORLD:

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 GN'R, I’m looking forward to it."

Right on the heels of this news come unconfirmed reports about a co-headlining tour with GN'R and fellow LA hard-rock icons Van Halen.

If this pairing comes to pass, we’re betting it’ll move some serious ducats.

Rolling Stone: GN'R Planning Stadium Tour


According to Rolling Stone, Axl Rose intends to follow last November’s release of Chinese Democracy with a worldwide Guns N’ Roses stadium tour this summer.

If it comes to pass, the tour would mark the first US stadium dates for the current line-up of Guns - their 2002 and 2006-7 tours were arena outings, with some overseas stadium shows. And contrary to one persistent online rumor, the band has absolutely no plans of playing Spain’s Kobetasonik Festival this June.

Meanwhile, Guns’ manager, Irving Azoff, tells Rolling Stone that the band has big plans for this year. "Axl has been basically quiet, keeping out of the limelight for almost 15 years. People think they know him but they only really only know what has been said about him by questionable people," Azoff says. "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 GN’R, I’m looking forward to it."

Since the release of Chinese Democracy in November 2008, Rose has mostly remained silent, speaking to fans via a message board and two interviews. Regarding the possibility of a large-scale tour, Axl told Billboard, "No plans, but there’s talk. Management and our promoters are really excited with the offers coming in both here and worldwide."

Relax: Axl Rose Promises His Terrible Band Will Never Reform
Heckler Spray makes some easy jokes at Axl Rose's expense in this slightly funny article. Here's a short excerpt.
The singer, epileptic dancer and all-round ginger bellhead made the promise in an interview with Spinner.com, during which he got in a right tizzy about former bandmate and professional labradoodle impersonator, Slash:

"He either should not have been in Guns to begin with or should have left after Lies. In a nutshell, personally I consider him a cancer and better removed, avoided - and the less anyone heard of him or his supporters, the better."

Boom! In your face (after parting your curly ladyhair)! Axl don’t just hate you but your bitchass fans, too, who must be crazy for buying your albums, like the ones when you were with ... that band ... some years ago ... oh, shit.

Van Halen, Rush, Velvet Revolver members raise funds for deputy sheriff
When Axl Rose called Slash a Cancer, maybe what he really meant to say was that Slash was a Cancer ... fund-raiser. The guitarist and his band donated an autographed guitar which auctioned for $1,779. The money raised is going to aid an LA deputy sheriff stricken with leukemia.

Kanye West: "I Love Tenacious D"


Kanye West’s VH1 Storytellers premiered this Saturday.

The idea behind Storytellers, is that the artist gets to perform their songs, and explain the meanings behind them.

Kanye didn't disappoint. His performances were inspired, and his explanations were ... well, what you'd expect from Kanye West.

During "Amazing," he named people that he found amazing. Michael Phelps, Michael Jackson and OJ Simpson.

During "Robocop" he said "I really like that part of the album where I said 'that was a good one - your first good one in a while.' Because I love Tenacious D and I listen to them all the time, and I felt like that was the closest I got to a real 'Jack Black Moment.'"



You spoiled little LA girl
You're just an LA girl

Oh you're kidding me
You must be joking
Or you are smoking
Oh you're kidding me
Ha ha that was a good one
Your first good one in a while
