Patience 4 Axl Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 If Duff came back as just a full time touring musician for Ax's GNR... then yes I actually would a little bit...and i think the world of Duff, not that I have ever met him, just how he presents himselfBut I don't ever think he would.. if Axl could work out his issues with Slash and they functioned in writing new songs together then I think he would love to do it on a full time basis... Pretty much my thoughts as well. Was cool to see Duff up there filling in temporarily when Axl needed him, but doing that full time as an Axl employee, no, I wouldn't want to see him do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facekicker Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Duff is fucking loaded thanks to investments. He doesn't need the money. I wouldn't mind and it might just have a positive influence on old ginger balls. Though I do hate seeing him sharing a stage with Ashba. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausofaxl Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Always liked Duff. Would love if he joined full time to make a new record and not just to tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 If Duff joins GNR again then there is a 73.9% chance a full reunion will take place. This would be a huge increase over this weeks percentage of 1.3% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 As much as some people think this would ruin Duffs rep I think he is GNR and should be welcomed back by the real fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'd simply doubt he'd come back business wise as well if he wasn't a partner. No way on earth would he be an employee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laparka Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 If tommy has quit I'd like duff back yeah , who wouldn't but I don't want slash back and don't think he'd do itwhy don't you want Slash back? he's the best guitar player GNR has ever had, and he wrote all those riffs and solos we all love...Eh, maybe because I'd hate to see a band in which the frontman and lead guitarist hate each other and perform together on stage only because the cash is going to be bigger...They both seem happy being separated from each other, why change that? I don't need to see them faking friendship on stage just to perform AFD again and again. (before you say it, I'm also SICK of seeing NuGnR performing AFD too)Anyway, on topic, it would not change anything; I've always loved Duff and a big part of it was that he does what he wants and he does not let the media, trends or management tell him what to do. So if he rejoins GnR full-time I'd think that he does it for good reasons (regarding his legal status in the band, songwriting input and releasing music...)I like Tommy for being there for a long time, stage presence and for putting up with Axl for so long, but Duff (alongside Izzy) has always been my favorite member of classic GnR besides Axl. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfriend Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 As much as I've always liked Tommy, there's every chance he'd be happier with The Replacements full time at this point.Plus Duff has the history with Axl and the personality to maybe - maybe pull him out of his funk. If he can't do it I doubt anyone can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I agree so much with everything you wrote. It sort of summed up my arguments from so many various posts across the differernt forums. I would have "liked" it if I had any likes left.

I'm not a cop I'm your fucking cousin. I guess a re-jogged UYI type band for CD 2 with Dj playing Slash. Duff, Gilby, Matt. Reunion starts Now!!!

Nosaj Thing Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 If Duff is going it to help a friend, I don't see what's the problem. If Duff joins Axl's band for money, then yeah, that would change my opinion about him. However, I strongly think that whatever he does for Axl is just because he loves him.

WFA Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I wonder what the reaction on lol free proboards will be if he returns. If Duff joins Axl's band for money, then yeah, that would change my opinion about himDuff invested huge in microsoft and starbucks early on. The guy has got to be loaded just from that, not taking into account appetite, lies, illusion, spaghetti, greatest hits, contraband and libertad royalties, i highly doubt he'd need money.

If there's gonna be reunion with Sorum and Gilby (SIC!!!!), then I'd prefer no reunion at all...Actually, I'd feel like someone spits me in the face.Are all fans 15 years old, who cares only about seeing Axl and Slash together ?

Jordan Rose Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I can't think of a single reason why it would change anyone's opinion. He left in 1998 'because it wasn't fun anymore' and if he came back now because it is fun now then big deal.I really don't care much at this point who is in the band (aside from replacing DJ with someone more talented) because the last time I had any connection to Guns as a band was the group who wrote and recorded the core of Chinese. It still worked enough in '06 with Robin and Brain but once they left it became a cover band of a cover band.If Duff does return then he will be covering Tommy Stinson. And if Axl finds time to let Duff contribute a few bits to the next album and then on the next tour Duff falls off stage and Tommy replaces him for a few gigs then Tommy will be covering Duff's songs on Chinese Democracy Part 2!!It's such a fucking mess and unless Robin and/or Bucket return and promote the fuck out of Chinese 1 and 2 or the old band reuinite and make a new record then the idea of Guns the band as a single entity to invest passion in is dead to me and the opnly thing that matters is whether Axl brings his A-game to the shows or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-GenerationX Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 It would not change in the least. Of course I have never been one of these fans that feels the need to take sides on all this bullshit. In my view, its only people that use the term "slap in the face" when talking about a rock band that need the actual slap in the face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modano09 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I doubt Duff needs money - he can live more than comfortably off his GNR money/royalties, he's smart financially and he's made smart investments.I'd like to see him come back to GNR - from reading his book, he didn't seem to hate Axl. He was frustrated with certain things but agreed with him on other things and seemed to value his friendship. If they've reconnected and want to play together, what's wrong with that?
