GN'R Won't Play Hall Of Fame

Guns N' Roses won't perform at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, according to its producer.

Paul Shaffer, who has served as musical director for the ceremony since it began in 1986, made the confirmation over Twitter after being asked how long the event will be.

"Guns N' Roses will not be performing, so not as long as you think," he wrote. The tweet has since been deleted, but Blabbermouth managed to snap a screenshot, which you can see below.

If brings months off rumors to an end, after speculation that their original lineup would perform live at the event.

It began when it was first announced that they would be inducted to the Hall Of Fame, but Slash soon cast doubt on whether he would attend. Axl Rose seemed to avoid commenting on the matter, then Dizzy Reed said they would probably talk about it at some point.

However, Shaffer may have been laying a red herring to put a plug in the circle of rumors, so a surprise performance could still be in store.

Is the dream of a classic GN'R performance over, or do you smell something fishy?

WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!

[Maiden95]

Very dissapointing if true but let's hope they can all at least be there

[WholeLottaIzzy]

Well, it sounds like a pretty definite no, but like the article said, could be a red herring as the post was quickly deleted. We'll see. Fingers crossed. I'm not asking for a reunion, but to see them play together just once would be awesome.

[metallicaftwlp]

damn, there goes the chance of slash, izzy and axl together again.

[IronTallicaDeth]

Sad, but really i'm not suprised by this news one bit.

[MR.LZZYHALE]

well knock me over with a feather Im suprised! yeah right we all knew would happen

[Abzzz]

If they play together, whats gonna happen to the rest of new GNR lineup... Should they make an GNR tribute band?

[fede01_8]

No Frusciante, no GnR... this is going to suck!

[iommi600]

In the previous article about GN'R performance on this induction I've said this, and I'm gonna say it again... Sadly, I can't even take this band serious now.

GN'R were once a great band, but thanks to Axl and his wonderful emotional side of a 6 year old kid, things just got fu*ked up...

[yes2morrow]

well why can't the lineup of the new GNR play at least

[MegadethFan18]

People who though they would play then "reunite", you've got to be kitten me. Here's why:

1. Izzy doesn't like touring any more
2. Steven was kicked out of the band for drugs and alcohol, which he still does.
3. Duff and Slash (probably Izzy as well) hated that Axl came on late, he still comes on late.

Literally nothing has changed, it didn't work then why the hell would it work no? On top of that some of the "new guys" have been in the band for ages, Tommy has been in GnR longer than Duff was!

To "Reunite" a band has to "Break up" Guns never split, people just left. I know that most of the people that comment on here don't give two shits about GnR they just like Bashing Axl and calling for the original group to get back together because everyone does. The people that are Guns fans and understand the circumstances are happy to go see them. I'll be seeing Guns for the second time in May and if Axl bring his cat in to play guitar I'll still call it Guns N Roses.

1. For the band to get together for a one-off show, does not mean they would ever do a full scale tour.

2. Have you heard of adlers appetite? He may still be doing drugs but Im sure he could manage to pull his s#it together for one show.

3. well you're right that nothing has really changed with axl and that really was what tore the band apart in the first place, but come on, they're getting inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame, it is possible they could put aside their differences for this one show.

I don't want to come off as one of those hopeless guns fan that is determined that the band will get back together,but not everything you said was valid.

[claptoncocaine]

even if their not scheduled to jam but axl an slash talk then they can easilly just get on stage an play. no one would get in the way.

[centermass]

dead issue.... all that this is doing is tarnishing what G.N.R. was!! please stop.....

[Christmas Guy]

Okay. We are the fans who purchased the G'n'R records. We learned the guitar-style of slash, and attempted to learn the solo of November Rain to impress the ladies. Let's put our "crap" aside and be inducted into the Rock'n'Roll hall of fame like we the fans want to see. I don't care about ego's and who likes who, and who now gets along... Let's do this for the people who bought their concert tickets and made them rich! Do you think Eddie Van Halen, and David Lee Roth are best friends? Hell no. Frickin' knock it off, and do it.

1.My points were mainly addressed to a full scale tour which people are expecting. Lets talk real for a second The RRHoF is a joke. KISS, Alice Cooper, Rush and tons of other bands aren't in there and even Van Halen were snubbed for ages. Meanwhile bands/artists that aren't even close to rock get in first time. If I was willing to have 18 year beef with someone The RRHoF would be one of the last things that made me say "Ah **** it, I'll play with him" I'm not even sure if I would bet on Axl showing up.

2. Yes and they have more line up changes than GnR! They have one EP in almost 10 years as a band. Could he pull himself together for a show? Probably, a tour? I wouldn't bet on it.

3. I don't think you can put it all on Axl. I think Drugs played a huge part and Axl is the only one who was never addicted to anything. So if you want to say "If Axl had been a junkie as well everything would have been cool" be my guest but I don't think it's accurate. You do know it was Slash AND Axl's decision to effectively force Izzy out of the band?

[Salvo416]

I knew it! They are never gonna reunite because they are all a bunch of bitchy (yet talented) musicians that can't seem to get their act together at all. Not surprised.. Guys forget a reunion.. its not gonna happen, you can thank Slash and Axls crybaby mentalities for it. I stopped being a fan of these guys a while ago.

Yeah its a little harshly spoken, but its the truth.

[RockGuitarist09]

I'm pretty sure Steven Adler is clean now.

[pumpkinfarthrh]

Everyone settle down. I'm not saying it will or won't happen, but the Shaffer tweet was definitely not from him. Blabbermouth reported yesterday...
A tweet that was posted on the "official" Twitter account of Paul Shaffer, the longtime David Letterman musical director and sidekick, regarding GUNS N' ROSES' appearance at next month's Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony did not come from Shaffer himself, according to a spokesperson for the company in control of the account.

Michael Lichtstein, the Vice President of Programming at Envision Radio Networks, which for the past five years has been producing "Paul Shaffer's Day In Rock", a daily 60-second vignette illustrating the history of rock according to Shaffer, has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:

"I am writing to set the record straight on a story Blabbermouth printed earlier this evening [Thursday, March 8]. The story quoted Paul Shaffer's Twitter account as saying GUNS N' ROSES would not be performing at this year's induction ceremony. Please know this tweet did not come from Mr. Shaffer, as his Twitter account is in conjunction with his syndicated radio feature with our network, and all tweets are handled by one of our staff members. No one is exactly sure what will happen at the induction ceremony, and we apologize for the inadvertent tweet."

Shaffer has served as musical director and producer for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony since its inception in 1986.

The tweet in question, which has since been deleted (see copy below), was a response to a query about the length of this year's ceremony. "GUNS N' ROSES will not be performing, so [the ceremony will] not [be] as long as you would think," the tweet read.

Izzy still tours pretty frequently. He drives his own tour bus.
He just doesn't go on 18 month tours like GN'R did.

I didn't agree with everything you said, but I gave you a +1 for the second half of the last paragraph and because, "you've got to be kitten me."

[slaveskinJACKET]

"Guns N' Roses will not be performing, so not as long as you think."

So they're not going to do anything in place of the time it would have taken if does, in fact, not happen? They're just gonna have a (hopefully somewhat associated) musician walk up to a podium, say, "Here ya go," and be done with the GN'R portion? Fuck off. Nobody cares about your trophy or your club. People watch the show to see the show.

Sebastian Bach would have gladly taken part in a tribute, as long as Axl approved. Most of the guys in Avenged Sevenfold are big GN'R fans, as are countless other musicians. It would be so easy to throw together a GN'R tribute that would be mildly entertaining, even though the two I suggested wouldn't necessarily be the best options.

There is really no point in this, at all, if the show is shortened due to them not performing. Was this just a way of trying to force a reunion then?

I figured as much, GnR is like a freaking house of cards man, ready to topple at any minute.

If they can't get it together for this event they do not deserve the award all together! End of story.

[taytay8b]

I really wish they could put the drama aside for ONE show and make history.

[fingerguy]

The reason is because Axl won't be aloud to be 3hrs late to perform.

[Miyagi84]

whatever. Just Read Slash's autobiography, and since then I can completely understand why they aren't going to play together. It's over. Slash is doing his thing and Axl doing his.

[Sewn Up]

Crazy thought.....why are all these articles ending with questions now? Just an observation that I've found a little annoying personally.

And now for my two cents. Who cares if they play or not? They're getting inducted into the hall of fame. That should be enough for all the GnR fans out there imo.

[rockerwannabe]

Paul Shaffer needs to go away. Period. Talentless leech that he is.

[FlyingPirahna]

Thank God. Maybe all this reunion bullshit can be put to sleep.

[LazyHardRocker]

Simple reason Gn'R broke up: Slash, Duff and Steven took too much dope and Axl and Izzy didn't take enough. but who knows... crazier things have happened. Van Halen reunited and they were all pretty bitter. Pink Floyd pulled it off a few times. Black Sabbath did it too. So yeah, a Gn'R reunion seems a long shot but it's not completely impossible.

I just noticed I said Kitten me and then Axl's Cat, That was fully unintentional as far as linking together goes. I said "Kitten me" because I've started using it IRL in place of "Kidding me" and I said Axl's Cat because it was the first absurd thing I could think of to play guitar. However It actually ties it together quite nicely.

I'll be honest I had no Idea Izzy still toured.

[diablo9333]

I wouldn't trust this. No one has spoken in the band about performing and the RRHOF has been wrong before. In November I believe the CEO said on Eddie Trunk's radio show that they were all gonna be there and immediately Slash said he never RSVP'd(although for the past year or so he said he would go).

[TomWhaley]

Did anybody think Guns was going to perform? Honestly. Axl and Slash can't stand each other. It seems as if Izzy, Duff and Adler are all cool with everybody though. Them being in the same room is pushing them enough. Speculating a performance is pushing it over the edge. Besides, Slash is happy with his solo stuff, and Axl is having fun with the current GnR line-up (which sounds absolutely incredible). As much as it kills fans, I don't think Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff and Steven are begging for an original reunion anytime soon. Well... maybe Steven haha

[_T_H_R_I_C_E_]

It'd be pretty crappy, seeing as how one of the classic rock stations is giving away a trip to go to the ceremony and see them play. I don't think it's crazy for the original lineup to get back together for one performance, especially if it's to get into the freaking hall of fame. If Pink Floyd can do it for Live 8, any band can.

This is very disappointing, but at the same time, this is not news to me.

Fuck....but this was expected, no one on Earth with two working neurons would expect them to really play together, there are some reunions we've gotten & we'll get, but there has to be those we won't get to balance things

Regardless of how Axl sounds now compared to then (I think he still sounds great), he can still sing circles around Myles - in terms of range, power, overall pitch, and whatever else you want to throw in there. Plus, he puts everything he has into a performance.

Myles Kennedy dumbs down his own vocal lines, not to mention everyone else's; he doesn't seem to put much energy into his performance, at all; and he just seems kind of phony when he talks to the crowd -- not to mention the fact that his voice just sounds bad, even more so in a live setting.

I'll take Axl over Myles any (and every) day.

[guitargodwannab]

this is weird.....honestly think about. VR isnt happening, Slash has a solo record and Axl hasnt had any rumors of new records and now not playing RnR HOF

id say vry vry fishy

It's a one off..Izzy has joined both GNR and VR to do cameo appearances so it isn't touring...
Adler is supposedly clean for a few years...
The rest of the band just ended up getting pissed waiting for Axl, so it could be interesting

Whether this was an official tweet or not, I honestly never for a second expected them to actually perform together. Even if they planned on it, Axl wouldn't show up until after the ceremony was over. I'll believe it when I see it, but until then I'll fully expect otherwise.

Exactly!

I think a lot of people are getting confused about what is really being discussed here. We're only talking about a one-off show, not a full scale tour.

good. now we can stop talking about reunions and shit that's never gonna happen.

[soad_Simon94]

They didn't deserve it much if you ask me, there are lots of better bands who deserve it and doesn't have it :/

[guitar351]

Am I supposed to act surprised?

[CSMusic]

I really don't see why anyone still cares. The line-up hasn't performed together for around twenty years and any of the music they're doing on their own now is really mediocre.

I love me some old school Guns N' Roses, but this band's classic line-up is about as washed up as it gets and I highly doubt seeing them perform together after all this time would really be as special as most people seem to think it would be.

The band is finished and has been for many years. This is 2012, so let's move on already.

I gave you a -1 for saying you hate cats. If you hate cats, you should not use the internet. U mad, bro?

Anyone who knows the history of GnR knows that there is no way the original lineup or the Illusion lineup will play.

Everrrrr (to quote Total Drama Island)

[aldogia]

What did you think was gonna happen?? Honestly. They will never play as a band again. I dont know why the music community is so eternally hopeful.

[gendead]

Do any of you actually know the guys from guns n roses? Give them a break its hard being in a band at a small level of success so when you're the biggest band in the world things must get totally F*CK*D up!

[baneofmorgoth]

Why do I feel like this was an Axl move?

[Pippers]

Crazy world that Van Halen can not only get back together and put out music that is as good, if not better, than their classic stuff when they were on top of the world.

Yet, GnR can't even talk to each other. You would think they'd all be adults by now. Put on the big boy pants and just deal with it already.

PEOPLE! WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT GUNS N' ROSES!

We're talking about "Diluted 50 year old man with legal right to the name"
