NYC has enough problems as it already, they do need/want Axhole's cover band coming there and making it worse. Hope they aren't allowed in the city.

Screw Axhole Pose & his frauds and hacks world's greatest tribute band!!!!!!!

Scab GNR plays to empty seats every night, plus now do so in 3D, and they are gonna lose that court battle for the video game any time now!!!!!!!!!

The fans hate Poser Rose and will keep doing so forever!!!!!!!!!

Hail & long live the real Guns lineup that being of course: Slash , Izzy , Adler and Duff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this version of Guns n Roses (and the old ones too) unlike most loads on here. However, I have a feeling something crazy is going to happen at this festival.

Who are these people in that picture?

But a more important question: Is Axl going to sing about a gayfish too?

Kanye West and Kings of Leon should be prepared to have their set times pushed back three hours, then?

I live in Brooklyn, and I can tell you, NYC will not be welcoming of Axl at Governor's Ball. This is absolutely the WRONG CROWD for Axl and his employees.

And that's quite a governor you've got up there in NY too, Cuomo. Definitely worth celebrating, alongside Bloomberg the sensational mayor. Will you be able to get a Coke larger that 16 oz. at this festival?
