Re: GNR tribute band on Letterman? I doubt it!
Check this, it shows that the GNR cover band "Mr. Brownstone" is the musical guest on Letterman on Wednesday, November 19th.

Ok, well I checked these guys out and they have a tiny myspace page with 200 friends and seem like just the normal cover band.
So why would a cover band be the musical guest on Letterman, when the show gets TOP acts to perform every night???
And here's the kicker... it just happens to be 4 days before Chinese Democracy is released.
Something just doesn't make sense here.
Do you think it's possible this is some ploy and the REAL Guns n' roses will be on letterman that day?

EFISH! Why the fuck don't you post here more often? LOL. Good to see you over here (this is GNRfan2008 from HTGTH).
Sounds like you are onto something. I'll be stoked if GN'R is on Letterman.

Looks like we jumped the gun. I did some digging.
It's Tribute Band Week on Letterman!
By Thomas Conner
They do this in Chicago on Halloween -- the tribute bands get a lot of club bookings, and we all have fun grooving to fake musicians. Next week, on Letterman's late-night talk show, the tribute bands hit the big time ...
From Monday through Nov. 21 next week, "The Late Show with David Letterman" (10:35 p.m. weeknights on CBS) will feature Tribute Bands Week. They're billing it as a means of "celebrating some of the most iconic names in music."
Here's a list of the bands scheduled, and the icons they ape:
-- Monday: Purple Reign (Prince tribute band)
-- Tuesday: The Cold Hard Cash (Johnny Cash tribute band)
-- Wednesday: Mr. Brownstone (Guns N' Roses tribute band) ... what the real band couldn't show up to promote the long-awaited, anticlimactic "Chinese Democracy"?!
-- Thursday: Super Diamond (Neil Diamond tribute band)
-- Friday: The Allstarz (James Brown tribue band)

Re: GNR tribute band on Letterman? I doubt it!
So 4 days before the album drops, one of the US's massive tv shows will have a bunch of guys dressed up like Slash, Duff etc playing a 20 year old song? I doubt anyone is going to be playing tribute to Finck or Pitman. Should be amusing.

Re: GNR tribute band on Letterman? I doubt it!
Im seriously doubting Axl and co (whoever he decides that is) will make any appearance or do any kind of tour to support the album. In fact if the album doesnt do too well i`ll put money on it.
Hope im seriously wrong tho
