AxlsMainMan Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Oct 02, 2015Despite being told not to bring up his main band, Fortus was happy to talk about them (he mentioned them first, just saying!)100% ROCK: Yeah, there’s talk of your other band – who I’m not allowed to mention – releasing some [music] next year. We’ll have to see if that comes out, hey?Richard: Yeah, yeah, to be honest with you, I have no idea what’s going on. There’s been a lot of talk about stuff. We’ve been talking. The world’s been talking. Who knows what’s going to happen. I have no idea.100% ROCK: Time will tell!Richard: I really have no idea what’s going to happen. I do know that Guns wants to do something next year, so I’m hoping that it does and I can be a part of it.100% ROCK: Excellent. I appreciate your time. Maybe we can talk about your other band next year if something’s happening on that front?Richard: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. You know, I’m not opposed to talking about [Guns n’ Roses]. There’s so much speculation going on right now that I don’t want to get myself into trouble and I really don’t know anything at this point.http://magazine.100percentrock.com/interviews/201510/139422 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2112 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Geez. Somebody just man up and give an update already!Man up? He just said he knows nothing... if he had something to say that had any solidity to it he would say it. The guy might get an update from GnR management every 6 months, and that update is "we might do some work next year, keep you posted" what's he supposed to say? "yeah, the new album is out in March, and our tour starts in June" yeh, great... only problem is plans like that are totally up in the air and he would look like a complete ass when things don't happen, fans would be pissed and media would jump on it as "the first of many delays of the next GnR album".If you're looking for solid news, looking at Frank, Richard, Pitman, Stinson, Dizzy or whoever is not going to get you anywhere. When did Fernando say the 3-4months line? June? July? either way we should be hearing something from that camp either this month or next, if the 3-4 month prediction is to be believed.

username Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Yeah, yeah, to be honest with you, I have no idea what’s going on.If this would be the only statement ever given by any Guns n' Roses member post-1998 in any interview, it would all be true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I do know that Guns wants to do something next year, so I’m hoping that it does and I can be a part of it.They really need to change the Wikipedia page now. There is only one current member of GNR. Officially. And that will remain the case whether or not he chooses to take Richard, Slash, both or neither on tour with him next year.

IncitingChaos Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Sounds like Izzy is back in the mix and Fortus will be on standby. If a reunion doesn't happen now then I'd be shocked.

RussTCB Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 My favorite part is "he was happy to talk about it" followed by several versions of "I don't know" lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 My favorite part is "he was happy to talk about it" followed by several versions of "I don't know" lolExactly. Either he brushed it off or finaly a member of GnR was honest. Oh wait is he even a member of GnR? MOST. FUCKED. UP. BAND. EVER. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much of the information coming in lately points to the old lineup getting togetherLol, Fortus said he doesn't really know what's happening, as he's said in nearly every interview over the past few years, and that means that Izzy must be back?

BangoSkank Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 But there's new music coming next year.I can't quite tell if that's sarcastic. Either way, new music is one of the last things I expect to happen (though I'd love it if it did). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) You can tell Richard don't give a monkeys really, if i get the call great, another paycheck, i don't suppose it matters to a guitar for hire who he's standing onstage with, it's just getting paid to play isn't it? As long as you can play and enjoy it and get paid. And thats not a knock on his artistry, if anything its a measure of respect, the man just appears to want to play, which is more than can best said for some folk, fair play to him i say.

Who gives a fuck about Axl's washed up performances of songs that don't sound anything like GNR?On a related note, FERNANDO and BETA I still haven't heard from you guys - let me know where to send my demo reel, I'll take half the pay Richard gets.

Ender04 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) I'm trying to stay optimistic.I'm pretty fucking excited about all the prepp Axl is doing entirely on his own. Who needs a band, right?! On a diet losing weight and rearanging the webstore. Meanwhile he's very buzy writing personalized autographs. Where do we go from here? I'll jump in excitement when New music and/or New tour will be announced. Not seeing it going in that direction though.....

niceguy Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I simply LOVE how so many people here were going on and on about "4tus" and how he'll absolutely be part of a reunion and blah blah.Fortress is just another employee. He's 100% meaningless when it comes to decisions for "GNR". Those decisions belong strictly to Beta, Fernando, and (waaaaaayyyyyy down the ladder) Axl Rose.
