that they actually play at rock on the range?
Announced they will be on that tour or concert or whatever.

I know they have cancelled shows, tours, etc over the years so what is teh chance they actually play?

They are only GnR if Axl is singing.

He will be, unless he throws a fit and cancels their appearance. I am actually pretty excited to see them. I just hope they make it to the stage.

They won't show. If they do it will be 3 hours late. It's not even GnR anymore. It's Axl and a bunch of other guys.

I bought tickets to see them play probably 10 years ago at Nationwide. Opening acts played and we waited and waited. We eventually left before GnR came on. I have better things to do with my time than wait hours for him to show after the previous act is done.

Swa them in cincy years and years ago and they did that too. I think that spurred some ordinance in the city about events starting after a certain time if I remember right.

If axle sings and sounds good, then I would want to see it. True, Slash was just as much the 'face' of GNR but anyone can play the guitar good enough. They started to go down hill with Izzy left the band if you ask me.

Do this things sell out? No way am I going to want to spend money until I know for certain.

It normally sells out, but you can scalp tickets day of pretty easily.

I saw them both nights at the Nutter Center back in the early 90's. Sound Garden opened.

GNR broke up in 1995 of so. What this refers to is Axl's tribute band. I wouldn't go.

I was there the night Axl cut his hand on the mic stand. (I think that was the 2nd night) The 4 or 5 songs they played before he cut his hand were smoking!

Also saw them in Columbus the previous spring.

ROTR headliners blow outside of avenged sevenfold. The whole lineup is pretty lame.

I don't like AS either. But choosing between them and GNR or kid rock... Yea.

Slayer would be cool to see. And FFDP I enjoy too.

Slayer, I guess, just to say I've seen them.

Mastodon, Down, and Truckfighters (surprisingly great stoner/fuzz rock out of Sweden.....and last on the list) are about it.

of mice and men??? what the fuck?

Black Label Society, Mastodon, Down, Suicidal Tendencies, Exodus all'd be cool. Maybe Trivium and Gojira, but I've never really paid much attention to either of them before.
