But it isn't a 100% reunion without Izzy and Steven. And the kind of set list they are playing There have been some journalists who do realize the other 2, Izzy and Steven are not there and used the word "threeunion" instead. Better than "regrouping."

True, from my perspective this lineup is just as legitimate as the Illusions lineup post-Izzy ever was and I do consider it a reunion because of well... the reunion lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it he means either more tour dates, ones that haven't been announced or new music... kinda leaning towards music. Rock in Rio won't be the end. Good to know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if there was an agreement for what happened thus far and thats what stays in his mind. And since its working out the further dates arent reunion in his mind but the resuming of being a band, so to speak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tsinindy Posted April 3, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2017 Well hell.....I almost missed all the excitement But, not quite! I got a few likes in before history was erased. At any rate, y'all are reading too much into what Slash is saying...sure argue about the use of the word reunion all you want. What I am talking about is the rest of it. There is more to come as there is more to come....they have tour dates in England and back in the US in the summer and Rock in Rio. That is more to come...if there is more to it than that, you aren't going to know based on what Slash said in this particular tweet. Everyone move along now there is nothing more than this to see. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt just got done releasing 30 studio tracks with the band when they went out on the road. He played on Huge hits.. Was in videos.. Frank can't even play the songs right. I guess you could make the argument with Gilby and Fortus even though I feel Gilby was a much better fit.. By a long shot. The backing musicians were a temporary thing for the "Get In The Ring Tour" and weren't considered part of the actual band. They were also only out there on stage when they were actually doing something. Not bouncing around looking like a tool during songs they weren't adding anything to. Then after that tour they were gone. They closed out 93 with the Skin N' Bones portion of the tour.. Just the six of them. They arguably never sounded better.. Listen to those acoustic sets.. Incredible... I do still consider this a reunion though.. Barely.. But I do... And I would rather have this than nothing. I don't like all elements of it but as a fan from pretty much the beginning I have been eating some of this shit up.

I guess what I was trying to say is that it's similar in the sense that they have the core of the band (Axl/Slash/Duff) and then a different rhythm guitarist and drummer with Dizzy on keyboards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Thomas Meadows was funny here and there at first, but he legit doesnt seem stable. Going off on Dels personal page screams loser, especially because he doesnt even have an audience anymore. Good riddance imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top-Hatted One Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Normally I'd say the guy was out of line getting personal because what Del has accomplished in life has nothing to do with his opinions on different subjects. However, Del opens himself up to the personal attacks here because he incessant anti-Trump rants. It's too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I hate Trump but I agree Dels twitter is annoying. He cam post whatever he wants, its just damn stupid its in the twitter feed when he isnt a band member 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
