GN'R will headline KROQ's Inland Invasion 2006 on September 23rd at the Hyundai Pavillion at Glen Helen.

Axl thinks the surprise acoustic show they did is the smartest thing he's done in ten years. He also mentioned how it's similar to when GN'R played at CBGB's in 1987.

Getting attacked by Tommy Hillfiger at Plum last night was the most surreal thing that has happened in his life (Axl was attacked by Tommy because he moved Tommy's girlfriend's drink). Tommy was thrown out by security.

He talked about the New York shows and says Izzy left because he had to get up early.
And lastly:

DJ: The cd is coming out later this year?
Axl: Yes, absolutely.

May 20, 2006 -- Tommy Hilfiger really showed his "Appetite for Destruction" yesterday when he pummeled Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose in a dispute over a VIP table at Rosario Dawson's birthday party, sources said.

The midnight turf battle erupted when Axl moved Hilfiger's girlfriend's drink in the banquette area of The Plumm nightclub on West 14th Street - where the "Rent" actress was celebrating her 27th birthday.

A densely packed crowd of celebs - including Lenny Kravitz and Kid Rock - had ringside seats to the battle.

The feisty fashionista was acting all gangsta, hitting Axl with a flurry of punches, one that landed under Rose's eye.

"First [Axl and Tommy] were sitting. Then they were pulling on each other . . . It got so out of control," said a shocked witness.

As the punch-up escalated, Hilfiger introduced Rose to some "November Pain" with a blow to the cheek. Club guards quickly tried to separate the men.

"A bunch of security ran over - but Tommy would not back down. He was just out to take him down," the witness said.

"Kid Rock got trampled by people running over. It was unbelievable."

Eventually, the designer's own bodyguard pulled him out of the club.

Yesterday, club owner Noel Ashman pointed the finger at Hilfiger: "Axl was a gentleman and had the good sense not to retaliate, as he would have done some serious damage to Hilfiger."

Rose said the attack was unprovoked, in an interview with The Post in his dressing room.

The singer said Hilfiger may have been angry because he'd been told to move to make room for Rose and his entourage.

Rose described Hilfiger as "foaming at the mouth."

When Rose took the stage a few minutes later to perform the song "You're Crazy," he dedicated it "to my good friend Tommy Hilfiger."

Kid Rock, wearing a black-brimmed hat and smoking a cigar, took his fellow rocker's side, and explained that Hilfiger was upset because he is way further down on the fame food chain.

The hierarchy, according to Kid Rock, begins with mere mortals and works its way up to sports stars.

"After that it's movie stars, then rock stars, then Michael Jordan." Hilfiger is somewhere between a mere mortal and a sports star in this ranking.

Lenny Kravitz seemed to side with Hilfiger, and also fled the club soon after Hilfiger got the heave-ho.

Hilfiger's peeps would not comment yesterday.

LATEST: TOMMY HILFIGER's brother MICHAEL H has leaped to the defence of the designer's nightclub fight with AXL ROSE, insisting the warring pair didn't recognise each other until it was too late.
The fashion guru and GUNS N' ROSES frontman came to blows at ROSARIO DAWSON's birthday party at New York hotspot The Plumm after Rose moved Hilfiger's girlfriend's drink so it wouldn't get spilled.
Rose claims Hilfiger went ballistic and started "smacking" him.
This week (begs22MAY06), reports emerged Hilfiger disliked Rose because he was dating his brother's ex-wife DIANE O'CONNOR.
However, Michael H insists he is friends with Rose and his ex, and is happy for them to be in a relationship.
He tells gossip site PageSix.com, "I gave Axl my blessing - if he wants to date my ex-wife, that's fine with me.
"I don't think Axl knew it was Tommy and I don't think Tommy knew it was Axl.
But by the time they realised it, the fuse was already lit - and you can't put out the fuse on dynamite.
"We're all family. Axl's guitarist in Guns N' Roses is RICHARD FORTUS, who also plays in my band (MICHAEL H AND THE BASHERS). I've seen Axl and my ex-wife practically every night for the past two weeks, and we're all cool. I'm sure that he and Tommy will make up over a drink or dinner someday."

Jammer dat het geluid via de live stream soms zo slecht was...gelukkig lag het niet aan de band maar aan de barre soundbourd.
De setlist was helaas niet zo bijzonder,ze speelden maar 3 nieuwe nummers...
Mischien dat de andere nummers nog een verassing moeten zijn voor het grote publiek?!

Axl stem klonk weer erg goed!!!!

Net de dvd van Rock In Rio bekeken.... Muzikaal staat het, voor zover ik er verstand van heb, als een huis - maar het klinkt allemaal vrij 'nagespeeld', weinig eigen interpretatie naar mijn idee... ik heb echt geen idee uit wie de backingband op dit moment bestaat... Axl is echter niet nooit echt goed bij stem geweest live naar mijn mening en ook hier viel het na een paar nummers niet aan te horen.... Saaie uitvoering van KOHD... Paradise City klonk nog het beste van het hele concert. Kortom, ik heb er geen spijt van dat ik geen kaartje voor Nijmegen heb

Edit: ik lees net verhalen dat de mix van de tv-uitzending slecht was en dat de mix in het echt stukken beter was .Misschien verklaart dat al een hoop.

Guns n' Roses return to the UK

The band premiere four new songs
Guns n' Roses made their long awaited live return to the UK tonight (June 7) for a warm up show before their Download Festival appearance this weekend.

Singer Axl Rose - the only remaining member of the original line-up - returned to the Hammersmith Apollo for the first time in nearly 20 years for a set peppered with classic hits and four new tracks.

Typically, Axl turned up over an hour late with his seven piece band.

But he treated the crowd to a 130 minute set made up of fan favourites 'Welcome To The Jungle', 'Sweet Child O' Mine', 'Mr Brownstone', 'Patience' and Use Your Illusion tracks 'You Could Be Mine' and 'November Rain'.

His band also played new tracks - 'Madagascar','Better', 'The Blues' and 'IRN' - from the long awaited 'Chinese Democracy' album.

The show, which was watched by Queen guitarist Brian May and model Elle Macpherson, saw Axl make a number of costume changes in between spectacular pyrotechniques.

During the Bob Dylan cover 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door', the singer also handed his mic over for a member of the audience to sing.

He was later joined by former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach for 'My Michelle' before the band eventually wrapped up the show with 'Paradise City'.

Guns n' Roses played:

'Welcome To The Jungle'
'It's So Easy'
'Mr Brownstone'
'Live And Let Die'
'Sweet Child O' Mine'
'Madagascar'
'Better'
'You Could Be Mine'
'Knockin' On Heaven's Door'
'The Blues'
'IRN'
'Outta Get Me'
'November Rain'
'My Michelle'
'Patience'
'Night Train'
'Paradise City'

Guns n' Roses are now set to play the Download festival this weekend (June 10-11). For full coverage direct from the site tune in to NME.COM.

The band have also added an extra date to their forthcoming UK tour at Wembley Arena.

Guns n' Roses will now play:

Sheffield Hallam FM Arena (July 18)
Newcastle Metro Radio Arena (19)
Glasgow SECC (21)
Manchester MEN Arena (23)
Birmingham NEC (25)
Nottingham Arena (27)
London Wembley Arena (29/30)

Plus nog een recensie van de bearforbreakfast messageboard van The Replacements (voor wie het niet weet: GnR bassist Tommy Stinson zat vroeger in the Replacements, vandaar..)

Hi,

OK, so he wasn't on his own... but here we go... Guns'N'Roses at Hammersmith - arguably
the biggest farce for a gig I've ever been to - and that include Ozzy cancelling after the
support played at Rock City in 87/88 the year escapes me now or Steve Earle not turning
up in Leicester a few years later because he had stomach cramps - no doubt not helped by
the huge quantities of smack he was using at the time.

Anyway... phone the Apollo in the after noon - doors open 7, support - Avenged Sevenfold
at 7.30 and GNR at 8.45.

Arrive at the venue at 7.15 the doors are not open, people in the queue are getting
restless. Eventually opened at 7.45.

Avenged sevenfold then came on at 8.20. Were rubbish frankly. When the highlight of teh
set is a Pantera cover, you just know it can't be good. Finish at 8.50.

By 9.30 the stage is ready for GNR... but then the wait begins, after about half an hour the
booing starts, so they turn the music louder -it gets progressively louder as the booing
gets louder.

By 10.30 people are leaving... then at 10.45 GNR - Welcome to the Jungle. The sound is
appalling... Axl's voice sounds terrible - thankfully Tommy and one of the keyboard
players are suingling backup to cover the worst of it.

Basically they start with the hits and then before Sweet Child a guitar solo.... rubbish...

It appears Tommy is Axl's main man... the only memebr of the band he really interacts
with. Tommy certainly looks teh best, in a grey/green zip up military style jacket and black
zipper trousers.

Through out the time I was there people were leaving I left at midnight in a failled attempt
top get the last train juist as November rain started - probably a quarter/third of the
crowd was gone by then. (The show apparently finished at 1am - well afer the tubes had
finished)

In the evening standard they said Axl looked like Mick Hucknell and that was true... similar
attitude - bith gionger, both had bands with friends who were all replaced by session
Musos, both started with their best albums and went down hill..

There were some new songs they were atrociuos...

Personally, I think everyone connected with this show should be ashamed - the band, the
promoter, the venue - if people pay good money to see a show they should at least get to
see it... whether or not is any good... in this case it was far from good....

Tommy should distance himself from this circus asap....

Guns N' Babies!

Guns N' Roses have been forced to postpone their show in Zurich at the Hallenstadion this evening the 21st of June, 2006. Their drummer Brain aka Bryan Mantia has had to return to San Francisco earlier than scheduled to be with his pregnant wife. The band have been travelling with understudy drummer Frank Ferrer and he will be ready to step in when the tour continues as scheduled on Saturday with their next show at Belgium's Graspop Festival.

It is expected that Brain will return to the tour in approximately 2 weeks time. The band had a phenomenal show at Bercy in Paris last night which they consider to be the best of the tour to date. During the exuberant performance guitarist Robin Finck pulled his hamstring but will benefit from the extra day of rest and will be ready for Saturday. The Hallenstadion show in Zurich will now take place on the 1st of July and all tickets are valid.

Guns N' Roses apologise to their Swiss fans for any inconvenience and look forward to seeing them in a couple of weeks.
