  • harrisbradley, on 03/07/2009, -0/+3610 bucks the tour gets cut short because Axl goes douche
  • equitium, on 03/07/2009, -0/+24Wait... what year is this?
  • HurricaneDitka1, on 03/07/2009, -0/+19Who would play first?

    I'd prefer to see Van Halen before 3 a.m.
  • valleyvideo, on 03/07/2009, -0/+16Wait... there's a web site with DAILY Guns n' Roses news?!?
  • agentsrecord, on 03/06/2009, -1/+13*Screaming* YEAH! It's going to be a LAME OFF. *Air Guitar*
  • valleyvideo, on 03/07/2009, -0/+11I'll be starting an office pool on how many shows they perform before Axl storms off the tour.
  • relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -2/+12Awesome, I bet a lot of people will pay to see that fifteen years ago.
  • TheScreamer, on 03/07/2009, -0/+10Well guys, as opposed to most of the comments here, I look forward to going back 20 odd years and being 19 again :)
    Let's just hope I can hold my liquor this time :Q
  • AmazingSteve, on 03/07/2009, -2/+10Correction. Axl Rose is a "A" band out this summer. It ain't Guns n Roses. And if you're calling Classic GnR *****, you truly know jack ***** about music.
  • focoguy, on 03/06/2009, -0/+7Maybe Dr. Pepper will sponsor it and Axl can fly off the handle again.
  • Firespray1138, on 03/07/2009, -3/+10Dugg for Van Halen.
  • inactive, on 03/07/2009, -0/+7He doesnt go douche, it more like a permanent affliction in is case.
  • thegrantman, on 03/07/2009, -0/+6Another 10 says he refuses to come out of his penthouse.
  • FriedTurkey, on 03/07/2009, -0/+6They should ask Metallica how touring with Guns and Roses turned out. I believe there was a Montreal show that didn't go so well.
  • bonerfide, on 03/07/2009, -0/+5For the past 16 years it said "no news" until Chinese Democracy came out.
  • vsaint, on 03/07/2009, -5/+10In contest for worst surviving band with annoying frontman.
  • robbob, on 03/07/2009, -0/+4Eddie Van Halen and Axl Rose are the two biggest flakes.
    This tour will never go intercontinental before it implodes
  • AmazingSteve, on 03/07/2009, -0/+4Yeah I bought it too. When it came out. Try opening your mind a little, GnR was no "hair Band" junior. BTW Black Flag ain't exactly relevant these days either, Unlike you, Rollins has moved on in life.
  • sjbdallas, on 03/07/2009, -0/+4Please say I've gone back in time and i'm 20 years old again...............aw crap.
  • CoreyTamas, on 03/07/2009, -1/+5At least Eddie can do something actually connected with music.
  • michaelamyers, on 03/07/2009, -0/+4Wow!
    This tour will last about 10 seconds.
    Either Axl will freak out because somebody didn't separate the green & red M&M's or Eddie will need to go back into rehab...again
  • tigerpixel, on 03/07/2009, -0/+3Wow! New music news on Digg and it's not related to Nine Inch Nails.
  • unknamed, on 03/07/2009, -0/+3 "Prior to that i was into my sisters IronMaiden,"

    Hahahahaa.... WTF?? That's gross dude!!!
  • lilhurt38, on 03/07/2009, -0/+3All these music snobs on here are apparently too cool for any band other than Radiohead and NIN. I'm ok with ragging on Miley Cyrus and Kanye West, but both Guns N' Roses and Van Halen kicked ass back in the day. Van Halen is good and all, but I wish I could've seen Randy Rhoads perform when he was still alive. I wouldn't mind seeing Slash or Eddie Van Halen tear it up live. I'll agree that Axl Rose is a douche.
  • farTart, on 03/07/2009, -0/+3yay to two grammatical errors for the price of one.
  • davidleeroth, on 03/07/2009, -0/+3Dude, Dio has some of the best vocals in metal.... What are you even talking about?
  • Spoomeister, on 03/07/2009, -0/+3It's the 25th anniversary of Van Halen's "1984", for chrissakes!!! Van Halen doesn't need GnR. Just give me VH by themselves and I'd go see that.

    ***** Guns n Roses.
  • chemic34, on 03/07/2009, -0/+2Oh awesome! I hope we get to wait another 10 years until this tour happens too!
  • zero, on 03/07/2009, -0/+2I love VH and old GnR but between EVH's boozing and Axl being ***** insane, how are they actually going to put on a show?
  • WiretapStudios, on 03/07/2009, -0/+2The only, and I mean only good thing that could come of this, is a leaked video of David Lee Roth and Axl having some sort of high pitched wailing argument that ends in fisticuffs.
  • imakeart4u, on 03/07/2009, -0/+2this has disaster written all over it. eddie and axl sharing the bill... good luck with that.
  • CoreyTamas, on 03/07/2009, -0/+2Maybe I'm just takin' crazy pills, but wouldn't the inclusion of the orginal lineup technically be a reunion?
  • meed, on 03/07/2009, -1/+3battle of the bands with missing important members?
  • thePuck77, on 03/07/2009, -0/+2In other news, Ratt and Whitesnake team up for a summer blockbuster tour.

    Menudo will be opening.
  • phphreak, on 03/07/2009, -1/+3No Slash, then no GNR.
  • Barbarino, on 03/07/2009, -0/+2Screw the new GNR love VH, but we really need Roger Waters to go back on tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • jedinate, on 03/07/2009, -0/+2I'm completely underwhelmed.
  • zomgflamer, on 03/07/2009, -0/+2Jesus Christ Eddie just make up ur ***** mind. But cannot complain much, Van Halen kicks whale vagina.
  • superterrorizer, on 03/07/2009, -0/+2"Today the sun came up, Axl Rose has promised a new album by the end of the year"

    March 1995.
  • inactive, on 03/07/2009, -0/+1man yage, i've followed you around since you bitched about someone's grammar. (probably in a capcom post, or inafune post) and I just need you to know - you sound like a ***** retard. I can barely understand what you're saying.
  • Rtibbitts07, on 03/07/2009, -0/+1Hasnt this been a rumor for months?
  • sarge, on 03/07/2009, -0/+1will believe it when I see it...
  • untzboy, on 03/16/2009, -0/+1Bands can't have new ***** every day. I wish the Conchords did, though.
  • malonie, on 03/07/2009, -0/+1its more of Axel and weird Al, Live
  • habbofresh, on 03/06/2009, -0/+1again? give it a minute....
  • RileyCourage, on 03/07/2009, -0/+1Van Halen would play for so everyone could go home.
  • aenima987, on 03/08/2009, -0/+1Axl is far more annoying than DLR, hands down.
  • untzboy, on 03/16/2009, -0/+1I'm sick of all this hate towards Axl. Nobody except his friends/bandmates know what he is really like. Like Slash said, We don't have a right to knock Axl, we don't know him. I used to think Axl was a douche, until I found out why he stopped his shows. Its so he can pwn ***** who ***** mosh all over the joint. I wanna listen to music, not get punched by transsexuals. But that "I'm going, kthxbai" was indeed lame. But nobody is perfect.
