Report/Rumor - Axl has pulled out of Jimmy Kimmel's show

[GeorgeSteele]

The schedule for Tuesday night still shows an unfilled slot, so I wouldn't count this out just yet.  What happens if it is an actual last minute cancellation?  Does Kimmel have a longer conversation with the other scheduled guest or do they just pull Regis Philbin out of the back closet to fill in as a sub?  

[Sober_times]

I listen to the Bill Simmons (he's a sports personality) Podcast every monday with Cousin Sal(who is affiliated with Jimmy Kimmel Live) and Sal always promotes guests on Jimmy Kimmel for the week and there was no mention of Axl. So I'm going with this report being true that the appearance was cancelled.

[ComeOnAxl!]

Any momentum has just dropped lower than whale shit. Planet Rock radio station here in the UK reported his appearance at like 6pm this evening and a few hours later its cancelled?

Here we go again...Nothin' new on the gnr horizon 

[14 Yrs Of Silence]

Hopefully its just a small fumble, but unfortunately these things only fuel the public's perception that Axl is unreliable.

[Thorned Rose]

Yeah the appearance had been reported as official and legit this morning and now it is gone.

Lets relax a little. Just because no announcement is coming tomorrow, doesn't mean there is no announcement at all. We'll find out soon enough one way or the other. Could just be wanting to finalize details of whats to come before making any official announcement.

Axl pulled out because he didn't want to get Jimmy pregnant.

The whole reunion marketing strategy to this point has been akin to extended foreplay.

Well.... Axl did warn us! The only thing confirmed is his love of Taco Bel ok

Perhaps Coachella producers told Axl that they have exclusive rights to announce before anyone else?  Would have thought this would have been worked out but always a shit show.

Nothing is ever easy.

When will we learn, myself included, that with Guns, nothing ever goes smoothly. If it seems too good to be true, it usually is. Sad  

That said who knows it could be absolutely nothing. Axl has a cold so he's going to do it next week. Or if it was going to be a onscreen reunion, Slash or Duff are ill. If this is what we think it's going to be, it'll be a moment to live on in eternity so they'll want to get it right. When Axl, Slash, Duff and you and me are long gone there'll still be people watching this shit. It'll still be in all the documentaries. Hey, remember rock music? Remember Guns N' Roses?

Just for once, please Axl or TB or whoever, instead of having all your fans tune in and go to bed downcast and pissed off, one tweet if it's still happening. 'See you on Kimmel! It won't be tomorrow but I'll be on there soon'. If that is indeed the case.

Coachella is our official source of information at this point. Unless someone from the GN?R camp wants to make a statement

Maybe this is all part of the strategy. Keep 'em guessing. (?)

Making people who were going to tune in not bother to seems like a pretty lousy strategy.

"I just received confirmation that Axl will NOT be appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday, January 5th!
 
Sorry to disappoint but I can now confirm." - Downzy over at MyGNR

"No reason [was] given.  I sent out an email to someone connected with the band the answer I got back is that Axl will not be appearing in tomorrow night's show.  Hopefully we'll hear more in the coming days, so I wouldn't get too discouraged.  It's just not going to be on Kimmel tomorrow night.  That's all I know." - Downzy

Very dissapointed. But perhaps should have known better than to get my hopes up. Let's hope Coachella announcement, in one way or another, ends this whole sharade once and for all..

People are probably going to watch anyway, just in case.

Less than would have if they just confirmed him and left it at that instead of farting around.

[Bazfreak]

Its obvious that he was going to be on the show ABC would exploit his appearance in every ways possible to get as much audience they could...i mean...they would be advertising it by one week at least. Why make an appearance like this a suprise?? Cmon people, lets face it he wont be there and maybe never was close to!
