Jump.....

3/6/2009 | 3:37:31 PM by U3

just heard U2 new album..it's sucks....but they do good promotion....

3/6/2009 | 3:42:39 PM by Steven

Agree, the new U2 album is really boring.

3/6/2009 | 3:56:48 PM by 13[SlasHer]

Jump to Paradise City !!
Yeay . . . :)

3/6/2009 | 4:12:15 PM by fumbleboot

The first song on the new U2 album is ok, but only because they've recycled the bassline from "The Fly" - very environmentally sound. Track 2 is ok, track 5 ok....last 3 ok, but some real shite in between.

Van Whonow? (I'm from UK) The "Jump" guys? Hmmn, not paying actual money to see those esteemed gents...

3/6/2009 | 4:28:10 PM by Dutch Democracy

mmmmm... van Halen.... that's not a band when I was thinkin' about a tour wit another band...

....maybe Chli Peppers.... Faith No More (a reunion tour).... U2 !?!?!?!...... the Rollin´Grandpa´s..... or a kinda new band.... that attracts the young people....

Thta way, stadiums will be packed.... en history can be written.....

G N´R & Queen maybe.... that would sell has hell.....

3/6/2009 | 4:36:37 PM by aint it fun

a good solid album and a good performance live is all that really matters. the promo and vids and contests is all just thrills. that stuff is what it is and it doesnt last.
music in a timley fashion and a tour to support it is all I ask

3/6/2009 | 5:26:13 PM by J

Pretty sure VH had highest grossing tour of the year last year. Good way to get new album in front of a shitload of folks who dig hard rock. Tickets are gonna be like a grand.

3/6/2009 | 5:31:54 PM by J

Sorry their last tour was the highest grossing of their career rather...played to over a million people...made like 93 million dollars...

3/6/2009 | 6:30:17 PM by Chuck

Cool... now if considering the economic crisis, they cut down the cost of tickets, that pairing could fill arenas. If so, I'm there.
Btw, I agree with you Fumbleboot, I also like the first song on the new U2 album, and 3 or 4 more. It dissapointed me a little bit, because I loved their last 2 albums. It's OK but it won't last more than one or two weeks on my CD player, then I guess it's back to Chinese Democracy for the rest of the year.

3/6/2009 | 6:53:31 PM by Sleaze

Fuck me blind, my two favorite bands ever.

Rumors, hearsay, stop lying or stop breathing people...

3/6/2009 | 7:23:48 PM by Kent

Eddie VanHalen playing second fiddle to Axl Rose or vice versa? Not going to happen!

3/6/2009 | 9:36:31 PM by DTJ

Why is Van Halens bass player a 20 year old...

3/6/2009 | 10:11:56 PM by s

van halen is probably rock's other greatest fall out. such a great band during both david lee roth and hagar eras. and just when u think eddie is thinking straight again by gettin DLR back.. he disses michael anthony. same goes with axl except that the other members in Gnr were part of the problem too. If this tour does happen.. call it coheadlining or whatever u want... no way should or will Van halen open for guns n roses.

3/6/2009 | 10:29:28 PM by s

btw.... i do find truth in these rumors because if axl is planning a stadium tour he knows guns n roses wouldnt be able to sell out by themselves or with other mediocre bands on the bill. Gn'r barely sold out any of their arena shows back in 2006. It would take another huge act like van halen or a metallica for axl ever to play infront of a sold out stadium crowd. I am not taking any shots at axl or gnr's.. im just speakin the truth

3/7/2009 | 12:13:38 AM by gunner22

that'd be awesome!

3/7/2009 | 12:33:54 AM by dude man

Hopefully they just spelt 'Metallica' as 'Van Halen' haha.

3/7/2009 | 12:43:49 AM by aint it fun

is there really going to be an acceptable act to go on the road with gnr? This van halen thing is pretty cool, big crowds and promo for sure but to an older crowd. hmmm im a little torn here, a newer band would have been ideal for getting cd to a younger crowd, but I cant think of one that would make me happy. like I said "aint it fun"

3/7/2009 | 12:53:59 AM by 13[SlasHer]

Uhm, Children of Bodom as an opening acts..kinda cool..

But whatever whose goin tour, the most important is GnR goin tour this year.
:p

3/7/2009 | 3:06:08 AM by slane 92

@ dude man


"Hopefully they just spelt 'Metallica' as 'Van Halen"

nice!! I had a good chuckle when I read that, good stuff.

3/7/2009 | 3:17:21 AM by akers

what about shinedown? they are a fantastic band iin my humble opinion im sure they wouldnt mind opening for axl, anyone fill me in on the history of eddie and axl from reading the above posts im sensing there was animosity or was it just that halen has a big ego too and doesnt see why they should only be on the undercard so to speak??? i aint gonna lie i know fuck all about van halen except eddies a great shredder on the guitar and they did that gay little jump song

3/7/2009 | 4:05:13 AM by John Davis

Oh heck yeah, GNR? Im in. I could care less about the new Van Halen but GNR, oh yeah!

3/7/2009 | 4:12:05 AM by DomBomb

Akers what are you saying "gay little Jump song"? A punk like you should do yourself a favour a go buy yourself Van Halen's seminal "1984" record and you'll hear one of the greatest American rock bands in history. The L.A band that started the entire West coast/ Sunset strip wave that ultimately would give way to GnR.
Who the fuck is Shinedown? And how the fuck would they help sellout stadiums? What's wrong with you dude?
Sounds to me like it would be a cool fucking show!!!

3/7/2009 | 4:20:14 AM by linklanka.com

Would be an interesting tour if it comes to fruition.

3/7/2009 | 4:36:19 AM by Jay

Now THAT is a great idea (and feaseable) for a touring partner that would be sure to pack any fucking house between here and NYC. And yes, VH would have to get stuck with the opening slot (call it co-headlining if you like, but.....), as they are only on the money grab as opposed to promoting a new album, IMO. But then again, at the end of the day, it's always a money grab for whoever anyway.

3/7/2009 | 4:37:34 AM by Jay

Or how about Rage Against The Machine? I've always wanted to see them, too.

3/7/2009 | 4:57:41 AM by have doubts

you have egomaniacs. you have a very fickle situation between Dave and the rest of the group. He can NO SHOW at anytime. You have AXL who has 2 albums that are great. But Van Halen has 6 that are great. Who's opening for who? I just do not see it coming to fruition, but , if it did, I would go. THAT'S ROCK N ROLL. What a treat for fans if it could be pulled off.

3/7/2009 | 6:05:21 AM by Leigh

I don't care who GnR tours with, as long as they tour! Can't wait!!!

3/7/2009 | 9:49:48 AM by dude man

Cheers slane. :)

3/7/2009 | 11:40:03 AM by anthony

I wouldn't anticipate GnR making any official announcements of touring plans for a while yet, they're still auditioning guitar players at this point. Wouldn't be too smart for them to commit to a tour when they still have an open spot to fill.

3/7/2009 | 2:09:48 PM by akers

dombomb i aint no punk i already admitted i knew nothing about vh, i never hear them played, and i have no urge to go hear them because the only song ive heard is jump and come on man you have to admit its a fucking shittty gay song, however i will check them out can you recomend any songs??? as for shinedown i meant getting a band like shinedown in would be good for reaching younger audiances not selling out stadiums in my head i was thinking three acts not one gnr vh and shinedown. shinedown are a pretty good rock band dude, there lead singer was tipped to sing robert plants parts if zepplin were to go on tour without him.

3/7/2009 | 3:14:52 PM by Dutch Democracy

Jump...... Kris Kros will make you Jump....

Oh no wrong song..... hahaha....

But serieously.... van Halen okay, but they will need another headliner that get's to Young people.....

I'm not saying van Halen isn't any good.... but the Van Halen fans already KNOW G N'R..... and that's the whole fuckin' problem.....

Young People need to know G N'R.... a new fanbase..... people who know G N'R and aren't big fans of them will never turn into fans, but Youngsters who don't know of them are a fanbase they have to reach.... and Van Halen is not the right band IMO......

But Okay, van Halen it is........... and next to van Halen...... definitly not the Killers.... hahaha.... the Chili Peppers still reach young people.... so that would be nice.....

Greetz from the Netherlands .... and have a nice day

3/7/2009 | 7:03:32 PM by DomBomb

Woulnt it be cool to have it Madagascar, Jungle or something like that ...

Just a thought

3/7/2009 | 7:40:16 PM by Mike E

Stadium Tour could be weird...Axl likes to start his concerts really late....How's that gonna play in outdoor venues....Will the tour city local governments have a problem with this??? I can't imagine GNR playing in the afternoon...BUT...I'll be there, whenever it is...Can't say I'm too psyched about VH, though....

3/7/2009 | 8:40:56 PM by Yesterdays

Fucking awesome news !!

Chilli Peppers, aerosmith, AC/DC Metallica....


r how about his Limp Bisquit is coming back....say want you want bout Durst....but thier concerts have more energy than anybody's.

3/7/2009 | 10:03:26 PM by calhounhusker

Whoopdedoo... I wouldn't go see GnR if it was free at this point. Chinese Democracy was terrible and GnR isn't even GnR anymore. Axl is the only remaining member. Now, somehow get Slash back and we might have something worth a damn.

Van Halen on the other hand is still a great show. I saw them 2 years ago when they came to Omaha and it was a great show. Even though Michael Anthony isn't there, Wolfgang does a pretty damn good job and he is only going to get better. As far as the guy saying Shinedown should open? Rofl, I can think of PLENTY of better current rock bands. Though I think any of their CDs is better than this Chinese Democracy shit

3/8/2009 | 12:18:41 AM by akers

yesterdays, did you not hear what durst had to say about chinese democracey??? haha i recommend you check that out before suggesting they tour with gnr

3/8/2009 | 12:21:34 AM by akers

calhounhusker who are these bands then that are better than shinedown, bear in mind were talking about an opening act here third in line behind gnr and van halen so it coulldnt be a band to big, why would you laugh at shinedown they are a perfectly good band but i guess you have your opinion and i have mine

3/8/2009 | 12:24:01 AM by Yesterdays

calhounhusker

Here we go again....AXL/SLASH have been seperated for 14 years-GET OVER IT
They are not getting back together. In case you did not know Slash has a band of his own named Velvet Revolver. I enjoy that bands music as well. Enjoy the music from both, and get on with things. Axl should be focusing on getting Buckethead back....his riffs are fucking awesome on Chinese Democracy open up your ears.

3/8/2009 | 1:06:17 AM by GnRLIARS

not a big Van Haken fan, they're o.k. but I got a free ticket for the show last year and it was amazing.
Interesting, would like to see Aerosmith on that tour.

3/8/2009 | 1:24:12 AM by aint it fun

what did durst say about cd???
calhoun huskers, are you in omaha and if so are you going to see conor oberst at the slowdown?

3/8/2009 | 1:25:02 AM by DTJ

Limp does have incredibly energetic shows..If Durst and Borland can get back together for a reunion, slash and axl can somewhere down the line as well....Maybe that's just wishful thinking

3/8/2009 | 4:41:03 AM by HOLLYWOOD_ROSE

fuck van halen
i saw in in 2008 and david lee roth rushed every song ice cream man lasted 1 min 20 secs!!!
Aerosmith is planning a tour this year
my vote goes for that

3/8/2009 | 5:37:08 AM by DomBomb

Axl would never open for another band. And VH or Aerosmith wouldn't open for GnR (at least not this line-up of GnR) so I find this rumour has little truth to it. I can see GnR going out with a lesser band so that the opening slot is filled and Axl is the headliner and his ego won't be too bruised.

3/8/2009 | 10:24:48 AM by Yardman

Fuck yeah!!!! why should Axl open for anyone. Fuck that!!! Take that where the heart is!!

3/8/2009 | 10:55:56 AM by dude man

Dombomb, cheers for that Van Halen list.

3/8/2009 | 2:57:22 PM by calhounhusker

Yesterdays..


No shit Axl and Slash have been apart for some time. I'm saying that Axl hasnt made anything worth a damn since that time. I opened my ears to this new cd and listened to it a couple times through and then I threw it in the trash. When Axl starts making good music again or gets the original group back together it won't be worth seeing. Not to mention I couldnt imagine the prices they are going to want for their concert.


And BTW... Theres no way a great band like VH would open for this second rate version of GnR

3/8/2009 | 5:39:21 PM by The Who?

calhounhusker... no one cares about your opinion so shut up.

3/8/2009 | 5:53:47 PM by aint it fun

calhoun huskers, are you in omaha and if so are you going to see conor oberst at the slowdown?

3/8/2009 | 6:29:13 PM by jason miller

please no. i hate van halen. do metallica and faith no more. van halen sucks!!!!!!!!!!!

3/8/2009 | 6:42:53 PM by 2009 Tours

Live Nation wants a new Woodstock, including Guns/VH..Van Halen announced only a new album and Tour for 2010 only...

3/8/2009 | 7:17:05 PM by stono

if ax want to do stadiums, he should tour with aerosmith...

3/8/2009 | 7:42:59 PM by akers

to whoever asked what durst said i believe he said something along the lines of chinese democ is the biggest piece of shit hes ever heard,

just found the thread i found this information in, it was on the newgnr forum, he said it during a limp bizkit chat on their site. theres a screenshot of the coversation too the biggest pile of shit I've ever heard"

fred must not have listened to any of his albums then

3/8/2009 | 9:49:25 PM by calhounhusker

The Who...

Does anyone give a shit about your opinion? Probably no more than my opinion. Fact remains, GnR has not come out with a good album since Use your Illusion and Axl is worthless anymore.

As far as what Fred Durst said about CD.. Thats fucking great. No one in the world knows shit better than him.

To the guy who asked if I was seeing Conor Oberst on the slowdown... Isn't that the guy from Bright Eyes? If so then the answer would be no.

3/8/2009 | 10:49:31 PM by Boot

the new u2 is great, it's better than cd

3/9/2009 | 1:15:13 AM by Aussie Scott

Hey Boot, get your hearing tested mate.
Just some advice from your friendly neighbourhood spiderscott.

3/9/2009 | 1:36:22 AM by The Who?

calhounhusker

"Axl is worthless anymore."

Then you must be utterly brainless and bored that you're on this GNR site.

"As far as what Fred Durst said about CD.. Thats fucking great. No one in the world knows shit better than him. "

Your mother knows her regrets though.

Get a life.

3/9/2009 | 2:30:09 AM by DomBomb

Why is that loser Fred Durst being discussed in this thread? Who the fuck cares what that fartknocker thinks about anything? Let's change subject already as Limp Bizkit suck moose cock. Although many on here may not be totally enamoured with Nu-GnR, I think we can all agree that they blow Limp Shit-kit out of the water a million times over. Fred Durst shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as Axl Rose.

3/9/2009 | 10:29:20 AM by Aussie Scott

Limp bizkit suck moose cock ??? He he, thats funny dude. I couldn't agree more. I'll add an Australian flavour to it and suggest that Limp Jizzshit suck Kangaroo Wang... :)

3/9/2009 | 3:25:50 PM by calhounhusker

The Who

Im far from utterly brainless. I love GnR, the old GnR, the GOOD GnR. Axl has not come out with anything even mildly decent since what 91-92?

Axl is too caught up in himself anymore and has forgotten how to make good rock music.

Whatever though, to each their own.

DomBomb... I agree with the majority of what you said. Limp Bizkit is terrible, period. I just this its hilarious that of all people who said something like that it was him.

3/9/2009 | 4:01:45 PM by akers

somebody suggested dursts band tour with gnr and then i was the one who informed them of what he thought of cd which is why he is being discussed, personely i wouldnt listen to dursts music but some people like it and i was merely contributing a fact to their suggestion

3/9/2009 | 6:17:26 PM by JASON MILLER

FUCK VANHALEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3/9/2009 | 10:44:39 PM by Jay

To clarify, I thought it was deep fried dick (species unimportant) that Limp Biz dined upon.

And after a little thought, VH/Guns tour just wouldn't work out; Diamond Dave would get mouthy onstage about something, and then it would just be fucking ON. Cool idea, though, and it might be fun to watch the two of them have a war resulting in Axl kicking that little troll's ass.

A couple have mentioned Aerosmith/Guns. It'd (of course) be tits, but even I, myself, don't see Aerosmith opening (and rightfully so), nor do I see Guns going onstage in a timely manner as to open a show. So again, not gonna happen.

Can't wait for the next unlikely to happen rumor......

3/10/2009 | 4:02:27 AM by Chris "You"

IMO the only way this type of tour would work is this: It would have to set up kind of like an Oz fest: Multiple acts on multiple stages... There would have to be another arena act to fill the stadium: But having multiple acts would allow GNR to hit the stage fairly late and people not wait around for hours. The whole 3 hour wait the use to happen after Metallica would not fly: I dont know I just do not see this working out. There are noise ordinance issues when playing outside. In-fact i am not sure how GNR pulled it off back in the day: I know the stadium by me has a ton of houses around it now, it did not 15 years ago but it does now... Some expensive houses on the water and some new water front condo's. I doubt those people would like to here a concert going on a midnight on a Wednesday night.

In all honesty I would like to see GNR take it down a notch: Play some theater dates in USA: Play every night no matter what: Let people get to know this band. I was watching video of the Warfield show in San Fran, looked like an unbelievable show. Play places like that.

3/10/2009 | 9:45:36 AM by DTJ

I actually like Limp..That is Dursts opinion regarding gnr..And personally I think hot dog and flavored water is a much better cd than chinese..IMO..Chill out..whether you like durst or not and it seems like pretty much everyone on here doesn't..The guy has directed two feature films and was a record exec and happened to sell like 30 million records in a 4 year window..I've got respect for that..I tend to like Borland a lot as a guitarist as well..

Come on..You meaning to tell me know of you bastards bought a cd from limp from 98-2001? haha

3/10/2009 | 1:22:35 PM by ors

Well, I've got DEFINITE proof of this! Ron Thal and Eddie Van Halen just became friends at Facebook!

In swedish:
"Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal och Eddie van Halen har blivit vänner med hjälp av verktyget Personer du kanske känner. "

Translated into english:
"Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal and Eddie van Halen just became friends using the tool (?) "persons you might know."

Coincidence? I don't think so!

3/11/2009 | 10:09:26 PM by Spin Again

Axl changed his mind and has decided not to tour this year.

3/14/2009 | 12:17:22 AM by guymandude

Listen, you dumb fucks. Van Halen with David Lee Roth made more money on their last tour than they ever did - ever. They don't need Axl Fucking Rose and his current band of posers to help sell tickets. This is a stupid internet rumor ( probably perpetrated by that loser Axl) Perhaps if Axl was able to reunite the REAL G N R, we might have something. Until then, no one cares about Axl and his band of posers. However, the Axl band of posers might make a nice opening act for Van Halen this summer, but I'll stay in the parking lot to drink a few extra beers during their poser act.

3/15/2009 | 4:52:04 PM by JASON mILLER

VAN HALEN SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3/19/2009 | 8:49:55 AM by A Raul

Axl Rose is a legend. He became a legend with the old GN'R. He's got a great voice, but what good is a voice without the music behind it.
Chinese Democracy was alright, it wasnt anythin special. Apart from Better and Street of Dreams, theres nothing worth listenin to on the album.
It wasnt worth waitin 14 years, lol every the song 14 Years on use your illusion was better then most of the 'music' on Chinese.
However, Axl Rose is still (in my eyes (and ears)) the best singer with the greatest voice in the world today

3/19/2009 | 8:55:02 AM by A Raul

Also, Velvet Revolver are a band without a singer... funny how these things happen, eh?

4/10/2009 | 1:47:15 AM by Hater of music posers

Dutch Democracy; you are the reason the music scene doesn't just suck but does not exist. You din't know who Van Halen is and i can understand this unfortunately. I am aware who they are, very. And i can tell you and people like you who think the chilis are great that you are quite ignorant. Not stupid just like someone who has never traveled and thinks NYC is the greatest city in the world. I grew up there and once thought this too.. VH is like a UFO, you need to see it to believe it and understand youve been lied to about its existence. VH will be the headline act w. Guns opening. Correct.. When you see the bill maybe you will believe this UFO talk may be true. Watch and learn

4/16/2009 | 6:49:08 AM by Josh Bradly

I saw Sam Serinsky on the street today in Philadelphia, he is such a rockstar

4/19/2009 | 9:43:37 PM by Long live the ZEP

ruuuuuumor.

Axl has too big of an ego to open for another band, and I can't imagine an amazing band like Van Halen, one of the greatest bands of hard rock (definately in my top 10), opening for GN'R, who fell apart. I miss their old line up.

calhounhusker, i definately agree with you

VAN HALEN IS WHAT'S UP!!!
