Guns n Roses Cancel?

[sjp_121]

I bet this is a great thing for FR to wake up to

"Excellent another day towards RnL... OH ****"

[Dukeeyyy]

if someone has hacked his account, then he/she sure has caused a right stir up, with it been on news on skynews, nme and kerrang, its got a lot of publicity, i just want to find out whether Festival Republic no anything, its almost 12 hours after know, and i think we just need to find out now :/

[PurpleFire]

But The Libertines aren't headlining, so quit whining! Arcade Fire will turn up no matter what

[matt123]

So just read this on the official GnR twitter...

'We are looking into this tweet http://fb.me/DHkuVmdU from the @AxlRose twitter account. Please RT + keep with us here for official word. TY about 9 hours ago via web'

?

[theramm]

I imagine it'll be later this afternoon, once the Yanks wake up when we'll get this confirmed either way.

[strudders]

Seeing it has been so long now, if it was a hack then I would have thought they would have been able to get it pulled.

Also the GNR twatter page is unsure, that DJ Ashba was with Axl ten hours ago buying weapons you would have thought they would have been able to get hold of him to squash the rumours or retwat via DJ Ashba.

It could all be a PR stunt though or it could be true... Who knows!

Gorillaz FTW!*

* this is by no means the express opinion of the author and as such should be viewed as a slimly veiled attempt at humour, given it would seem Gorillaz will jump in a grave at a moments notice if there is a headline gig going spare.

[matt123]

wouldn't you feel second best is you were Gorillaz though? (not the animal) If they did fill in for GnR then that's 2 major festivals that haven't booked them initially but then needed a fill in and were like "You! Yeah you over there! Play this festival!"

Although there is no official word from the festival organisers about whether there is any truth in the rumour, fans are saying that his account was hacked. Their reasoning is two fold. Firstly the spelling of 'cancelled' there's only one 'l' in the US spelling, and secondly the tweet was posted from 'mobile web' instead of Axl's usual 'Twitter for iPhone'.

We will let you know whether there's any substance to the rumour, as soon as we get further information. The Reading & Leeds festival headliners made their first Stateside concert appearance in four years two days before Axl's twitter (Friday 13th August) at the Rock 'N Rev Festival in Sturgis, South Dakota. Apparently the band kept the crowds waiting for two hours after the previous act

I wouldnt want to be standing around for two hours, that would make it 1 o clock when they finished! Totally Unreliable

with this news of them delaying by two hours, maybe festival republic had an eye on procedings in America and they asked again if they would commit to be on time at Reading and Leeds and maybe just maybe they couldnt commit. But that only rules out our festivals not other shows!

seriously whats going on with FR? Wake the f**ker up if he's in bed, they are paying him millions

[PurpleFire]

Festival Republic know what to expect with Axl Rose!

His comment on Guns and Roses just shows they have a little worry about them turning up on time!

[k1n60fthew0rld]

Well it's now 10 days to he festival and nobody knows if we have a Friday/Sunday headliner. Bad times.

Kasabian

to step in !

[cally8793]

As much as I would hate it, The Libertines/Pendulum could be bumped up to headliners and then FR could bring in a smaller band to save money? I hope to God this is not true.

[Role Model]

Not going to lie, I'd have no problems or complaints if this was true. get to see Phoenix in full and LCD Soundsystem, all smiles from me

Chances are his twitter was just hacked, but here's hoping.....

What bothers me is that if it was a case of his twitter being hacked surely management would just come out and say officially "this is BS, all shows are on" rather than letting it linger.

Or I'm just all kinds of wrong

It's a bit weird now if you ask me. Someone must know what's going on by now.

[Role Model]

America's asleep, I think it might be a few more hours till we get confirmation.

[k1n60fthew0rld]

OT: But DJ Ashba, this new band member, anybody think of the legendary song from the 90's, Brimful of Asha???
