Hope not! Surely they don't need to attend award shows? Those things only serve to make bands look awful!

One would think GNR is a shoo-in for the Touring awards. Biggest and most talked about tour last year.

I believe it lines up with their touring schedule. I could see it as a possibility of a few members showing up.  I wouldn't bet on it though.

Never in my life did I expect (or desire) to see Guns N Roses and Justin Bieber nominated in the same category.    :no:

I hope they don't show up.  This might be worse than playing the Super Bowl.

Agreed, these types of awards shows are horrific these days.

Even if they don't show up im sure they would have some pre taped thank you acceptance if they were to win any. whether its from Axl, Slash N Duff or some combination out of those 3 is anybodys guess.

Del or McBob could perhaps accept any awards on their behalf ;)

I agree.

With all due respect to Coldplay or Bruce, what was remarkable or new about their tour?  Was just their latest tour.

Hard not to call NITL anthing but new or unique though.

Nice if they got the recognition, but these award shows tend to be really awful, GNR would be smart to not go & just have a taped acceptance speech if needed.

I would love to see that too but it seems like rock bands are set up to fail at awards shows these days.  The sound (which is usually shitty to begin with) comes off even worse when compared to the pop acts singing (or lip syncing) to pre-recorded tracks.

Not to mention that most of the young ass teenybopper crowd would be shrugging off GNR saying "who are these old bastards"?   :P

Difference is Axl is way cooler and captivating than Grohl and Hetfield. I think the teens would have their world's changed

Ah, they're ok! At least they're honest- they don't pretend to be anything they're not. There's a lot to be said for that among the phonies, fakes and posers that make up the music scene now.

Did they show any new pro-shot footage while GN'R's name was being announced for the categories they were nominated for?

The results were released before the telecast of the awards so my guess is it wasn't televised.
