original line up rumours this week, your 2 cents?


Recommended Posts

Marc,

earlier this week, through Matt's post on KOC fb page and through some insiders on this board, it was suggested that Slash/Axl/Duff/Gilby/Matt patched things up and 'big news' was going to be announced soon!?

have you read that, what is your 2 cents on what you know/you would guess?? in %.

thanks

Axl is a toddler, there is a 0% chance of him being mature enough to accept some responsibility of the breakup and work with Slash again. Its sad, its pathetic, but it is what it is.

Why should he? What does it matter if it causes tons of butthurt amongst people he doesn't know or give a shit about? He's obviously happier without a reunion and without accepting responsibility or there would have been one by now. Anyone's personal anal throbbing about it is their own responsibility to deal with.

I´m afraid this is a very complex issue in many ways. Let´s say for the sake of argument that Axl and Slash make peace. That´s just a first step only. Other things they all need to agree is management. They better hire someone else. Beta and Fernando can still be Axl´s family but nothing more than that. There is also the question about music. If they make a one off show they can play the classics and we are fine. But if they plan a world tour I think we need an album. Now what kind of album? We know we have The Vault. I guess the best way to go would be to redo a few songs from The Vault and add new material. This is something they need to decide. Rehearsals, Axl better show up for at least 15 minutes. And he better fix his voice issues while losing 20 lbs or more. I´m not asking for the 88 Axl but at least we should have the 2006 Axl. Also Axl better find a way to be on time for shows. Axl got away with many things in the past. Now former members won´t tolerate power trip and stupidity from Axl´s part.

So a reunion is not impossible but it will require many changes and serious committment from everyone involved to make it work this time around.

Axl seems to be in a much better mood on stage 2011-2014 than 1991-1993.

But his bitterness on stage back in the 90s wasn't all band related!Thats when Axl started working through all his childhood shit.

:lol: Yeah, his bandmates falling apart and almost dying didn't stress him in the least. Neither did the power struggle that they were all (well, both mostly) guilty of having. Everything was peachy in GN'R land.

Good points.

There is also the question of the current line up. What happens them?...legally and otherwise.

I imagine there is the potential for all sorts of parties getting upset, or having legal legs to stand on and sue for whatever reason.

Then things like setlist, Axl will want to throw in CD songs, but will the rest....that's already a discussion that could stop or delay any sort of reunion imo.

how do u know he's happier

seems like hes been miserable since 1994

Common sense. People do what makes them happier. Always. Have you seen a reunion? Me neither. Not sure how you ended up needing an explanation.

He said "we're having more fun now" on his tv interview. Both Slash and Axl will never solve their differences as too much has been said and they've not had contact for so long. Axl not going to RRHOF showed he had no intention of being in the same room as Slash. In Vegas he had someone thrown out as they held up a Slash sign. If he still does that rather than ignore them I'd say it's a good indication of how much bitterness still exists. If he had softened towards Slash he would have ignored the sign completely.

All of the current members have other bands. Performing with GN´R is a part time job for them. I don´t know what kind of contract they have. But I guess all can be solved with cash.

They can reach an agreement, a couple of CD songs + Fall To Pieces and Anastasia. Duff performed CD songs during the last South American Tour. So I don´t think it´s a big deal. I´m worried about the material in The Vault. That I believe it´s a bigger problem than 2 or 3 CD songs. And of course the name. If former members want the name and partnership back that could be a problem. Unless they do a one off show, in that case nobody is going to ask for too much.

Yeah? Is that going against anything I have said somehow? Dealing with his bitterness with Slash would obviously make him less happy than he is right now or he would have done it. Said that all along.

No I'm agreeing with you, the answer you gave is right on. He's happy to to get on with his life and why should he be forced into a reunion? Like another band I've followed who split after 23yrs or so with the same members throughout they refuse to reunite and that's with the bitter feelings now mellowed a lot. People move on and it puzzles me who started this and why. I've got some catching up to do but it seems to be Matt.
