I just got the Official Woodstock Newsletter, I signed up for it back in 1999 and I got a new one today saying this (I made the parts bold, the letter didn't come like that):
_________________________________________________________
Official Woodstock.com Newsletter

No one thought it would happen again but after many years it's back!!!

Woodstock's newest installment Woodstock 2005 will feature over 50 bands and tons of activites that are out of this world.

Due to the destruction of Woodstock 99 we have been forced to move the festival to a different place, this year we're going to rock one of the biggest cities in Canada.....Toronto!

Woodstock 2005 will take place July 13th, 14th, and 15th 2005.

Some of the bands that have been confirmed are:

Linkin Park
Eminem
Black Sabbath
Eric Clapton
The Police
Blink 182
Green Day
Slipknot
and
Metallica

Plus a special guest (hint: When these guys play it'll be so hot you're gonna be wishing for some "November Rain".)

MORE UPDATES LATER.


--------------------

I was just about to post that u bastard.  Why does Axl always have to play a show MONTHS from whenever its announced.  At least he's showing some sign of life again, hopefully it's true!

How the fuck do I get tickets to that mother fucker?

this sounds like bullshit

u cant have woodstock in fuckin canada eh, its woodstock cause its in woodstock!

And Janis Joplin.... :P

These rumours get more far fetched everytime

Perhaps they mean Sting?  Oh well what a pile of shite  :rant:

Since the last Woodstock went all to hell, Im sure they were banned from that place forever, so moving the damn thing is obvious.

Wont we just see "Rock in Rio" in Europe?

The difference is?

 Interesting enough to kinda get excited, especially in Toronto?  I am 1 hour away!!!  (Guelph) Lucky ME...HMMMMM....There might be hope yet?  If I can deal with it all?

another rumor hopefully this one turns out to be true and then hopefully the boys dont cancel and show up.  but im not holding my breath

peace :peace:

I believe this when I see the pic of that Official Woodstock Newsletter. If the guy is a legit, he/she will post the pic on the board

www.woodstock.com is under construction hmmmmmmmmmm.......... >:(

ok is it me...or is it a bit strange to have all these bands already confirmed for an event next year...alot can happen in a year..look at GN'R with RIR4..... :P

Bullshit

Axl doesn't even have a full band yet why would he even thinking about shows?

they have rio in lisbon eh... ::) :P

WOW OMG....i like 45 minutes away this is amazing id be goin for sure...but i dont belive this because of the police reunioun....and from my understandings eminem isnt allowed in toronto...and i dont know about sabbath...but it would be amazing if it happens...can we get a pic of the newsletter or soemthin please...or could u email it to me

Why, does Sting or The Police have a song called November Rain?

I might get excited if this was happening closer than a year from now.

i thought it was called rock in lisbon? u cant have rock in rio in lisbon thats absolutely retarded, so its called rock in lisbon

when the fuck did the police get back together? hell if the police reunited i know they did for the rock n roll hall of fame but they still have to officially get back together for this can happen

if u people believe this i have some swamp land in florida to sell u, its beautiful ! just pm me for details and price

hey democracyrose...do u have a copy of the newsletter or anyhting or can u get one?

well i hope this is true. but i did not even know ozzy,tony,bill,geezer (blacksabbath) were even rehearsing anymore.

 thinizzy

if u people believe this i have some swamp land in florida to sell u, its beautiful ! just pm me for details and price

How much for 500 square yards?

That's as far as we know. He was talking about telling us a release date in a few months so he must be some way to solving the mess after Buckethead's departure.

As to moving Woodstock.... that's a no-brainer. Of course they would move it, and it's very possible it will happen.

As for Rock in Rio III, I believe it's called 'Rock in Rio Lisbon'.

However, I don't think I can be interested in news of a concert over a year from now.

@#$%Muther

As somebody on another forum pointed out, why would Giuliani, the mayor of NYC, have anything to do with an event taking place in upstate NY?

Also, when did the Polic reunite?

And why would the organizers release something like this more than a year before its scheduled?

Its clearly bullshit.

The only way it could be bullshit is if the email is faked, the hint seems a bit obvious for a special guest though!

I'm sure we could varify this if there is somebody else who gets the official email?!?!

Don't you think news would've leaked of a Police reunion before they had this show announced? BS! Here's a question, though, are there any major music festivals scheduled in Europe in the late summer/fall of this year? Somehting could happen then, but not likely :P

Rock in Rio and Woodstock are brands, they can take place anywhere the promoters see fit. The names are so big that they dont need to make them in the city. Yes I know its a bit retarded to call Rock in Rio in Lisbon but the brand name of Rock in Rio is well known and gives more credibility to the festival, same with Woodstock.

2005? thats over a year away.

Also anyone think that the band that plays and you are wishing could be Velvet Revolver?

It could definately be VR.
Probably more likely than it being GNR.

They are in fact, most likely, hinting at a VR appearance

Ya i hear ya,And it makes sence why the promotores would whant to go to Toronto,Just look at the crowd there last year when the Rolling Stones and AC/DC did that Benifit Concert there like holly People :yes:

I doubt it, otherwise they would have just listed "Velvet Revolver" with the rest of the bands. You have Linkin Park, Eminem, Eric Clapton, Metallica, etc. Performers of huge magnitude/popularity. The way the advertisement is set up, it's like they're promoting the special guest as the main event. There's no way they do that for Velvet Revolver, but it would be about the hundredth time a big event has been made of "The Return of Guns N' Roses."

Also, there'd be no reason to have Velvet Revolver as a special guest instead of just listing the band. My only possible explanation would be that they think no one will have any clue who Velvet Revolver is, and want to capitialize on the fact that there are two ex-GN'R members in the band. And I don't think anyone in Velvet Revolver would approve of that.

Woodstock.com USED to be owned by Woodstock LLC (the "owners" of the Woodstock brand).  However, their whois info has changed, dramatically, since I last saw it (a LONG time ago).  I can't, for the life of me, figure out why it would unless the doman name is no longer owned by them.  I'd be leary of this email were I you....

Woodstock LLC should be contacted to see if this is legit.  I know their home offices WERE on Madison Ave in NY, but not sure of the addy and phone number.....

"Woodstock" 2005 would make no sense anyway, if they were still trying to stay true to the anniversary dates (1994 was the 25th anniversary, '99 the 30th, 2005...the 36th???) I don't think so.

Thats a good point :peace:

can we please get a frigin copy of the whole letter...or somethin to prove that this is legit...

can we please get a frigin copy of this letter or the whole letter at least or somethin....

Not true - Woodstock was NOT in Woodstock.  Not even the original Woodstock.  

I wouldn't bet on GNR being there - shit they didn't show up in 1994, so why would they now?

Well that's true but it was still meant to be in Woodstock. It only moved because of problems with the site and still took place only 60 miles from Woodstock.

Moving it to Canada would be just another part of the constant comercial crap that we have to suffer, and is a far cry from moving 60 miles cus of unsolvable problems.

@#$%Muther

Like i wrote, its from Mygnrforum.com. Check it out.... And no, i dont have any letter..

Yes, that's true for the original Woodstock.  In 1994, it was at the original site, but then in 1999 it was moved to a totally different place and was very comercialized and total crap.  It was cool in 1994!  : ok:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THis is what I am thinking. THis is totally fake because Woodstock  has been in 1969, 25 years later in 1994, 5 years later in 1999. Why would they have one 6 years later IN A DIFFERENT F'ING COUNTRY???

Wouldn't they just call it a new concert name!! Like Toronto Music Fest

Lets try a little maths equation, shall we?

One festival with recent history of rioting
+ One band, prone to riots and no shows
=No Fucking Chance.

 :rofl: :rofl:

This is a bullshit rumor......people stop believing it now for the good of mankind  : ok:

I checked with gnr's booking agent for America and Canada and he says that that nothing has been booked for both territories to his knowledge

Excuse me but if that was an Axl quote, it would be fucking funny.

Thanks dude... Im glad you post here.... :beer:

Thanks for the info.
 :beer:

This is total bollocks through and through. Ozzy Osbourne hasn't recovered from the neck injury that may well end his on-stage career...rehearsals with Sabbath/finding Geezer will hardly be on the agenda right now/will take some considerable time ;D

Well one of the reasons they could have it in Toronto is beacuse there is a town called Woodstock near Toronto, AND officials could be enticed by Toronto because they hosted just about the most successful single-day event concert ever on North American soil.

450,000 fans, HUGE acts and barely one incident.

the name "woodstock" transcends it's original area of inception.

I can totally see this happening in TO

And there you have it, boyz and girlz, now onto the next one. (Thank God Mysteron is here, at least GNR's agents will talk to someone) : ok:

Man if he wasn't here all hell would brake loose :hihi:

Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.

Ozzy is headlining OZZFEST this summer... and a Black Sabbath Reunion looks like its a go as CO Headliner of OZZFEST with Judas Priest...

YES!YES!

"Tell him about...the Twinkie..."

I was going to post that, man! GOTTA love the GB references! :D

Amen, Peter, but let's get back on topic, lest we fear the wrath of the mods.

"And you don't want us exposing ourselves!":beer:

maybe its VR who will be at Woodstock....

There is no woodstock 2005!!! :no:

1st id like to say that I went to woodstock 94 and 99 -

i do think there will be a woodstock in 05 - i kinda thought 04 might happen but I think they had too much work to do to get it done right by this summer.

in 94 I saw slash jam with paul rodgers- it was pretty cool.  

Maybe for the next one Buckethead can jam with him.


Woodstock 94 was NOT in the original place(some1 said it was)
woodstock 99 was not in the original place

woodstock 69 wasnt even in woodstock.... so who gives a fuck where it is.  It's gonna happen but I wouldnt bet on those bands being there.  It's a bit soon to talk about what the line up will be.  I'm sure Metallica will be there and I bet Guns N Roses will be there.  Scott Weiland will OD by then so VR wont be there.

Also, woodstock 99 was cool..... it wasnt really that bad.  A small group of assholes fucked it up bitching about 5 dollar water bottles but I've spent over 5 bucks at Ozzfest, Baseball games etc...  so it was a bunch of losers that just wanted to fuck shit up.
